How to draw Anime face (Head 0 - 0 - 0) (Patreon)
Content
An anime eyescan not be completed without face, so let's get starting.
The first lesson is trying to draw a frontal face that starring to your soul, or somtething similiar. Taking note that nobody can draw two perfectly balance eyes without heavily practicing. Even I can do a major mistake. So, I intentionally draw the face with no thoughtfully callibrating so you can try to drawing this angle of face with no pressure that your frontal face will not be really frontal.
Keep in mind that try to draw this anime face to stare at you. Try to callibrating so you can get a perfect shot of this angle.
Here is the procedure of this drawing :
1 ) Draw a drating line (a plus sigh with circle), then draw Anime eyes.
2 ) Draw sides of face. This will be a face of your Anime character.
3 ) Draw a jaw line. Try to make the center of the jaw met at the vertical line of drating line in the proceduce 1).
4 ) Draw a top head line. Human skulls are quite spherical here.
5 ) Remove the drating line. Then draw eyebrows, mouth and neck. You may draw an ear later for a suitable hairstyle.
Note :
1 ) Keep drafting line (the pink one) as light as possible. You will need to remove it later anyway since its only usage is to guide your drawing, not as a part of it.
2 ) Keep everything relative to each other. Don't draw the eyes, face, mouth too big or too small or too far apart. This is an example of failure you need to learn from and avoid it.
3 ) Despite its reality breaking, Anime head is still based from a real life human skull. So learning its anatomy from it is recommending.
4 ) I personally not recommend to draw a pointy chin. But it's still your choice.
5 ) Ears and nose is not essential for Anime. But adding a suitable one is recommending still.
6 ) However, eyebrows and mouth is important for Anime! Drawing them slightly wrong can f*ck up your entire work.
7 ) The true crown of anime face is its hair. Drawing it wrong mean a game over for you, so I need to separate this section for another day.
