Basic Face Tutorial

[Xion Valkyrie]

Some people have been asking for one, and I'm not really sure exactly how to do it, so this is the best I can come up with.

This is just a very basic face layout tutorial, stuff that you should be learning from doing realistic drawings, but anywayz...

For some reason i didn't realise there were new tutorials here. Thanks for this now I have some inspiration to start drawing again.

[D4Shadow]

man, I love how you do you faces, I've been wanting to draw like that, Thanx THat really helps a lot!

NICE!

[HunterKiller_]

Nice tutorial. Just one suggestion though, you should add some male faces along with all the females ones for comparision, as faces of the opposite sex obviously don't have the same features. =)

Valkyrie,

Very nice tutorial. i've always cheated and drawn the triangle-shade nose but looking at a few of those noses, I think I have a better grip on where/what to practice. Arigato!!!

[HikariSlayer]

You know, I could give you another compliment on this tutorial, but that's allready been done. So I'm not. . . . .

[Bloodstar]

Heh, almost as sloppy as my drawings :)

Looking at your finished art I figured you'd be all super neat or something.

[Xion Valkyrie]

I'm glad you guy found this helpful^^

Yeah, my pencil stuff is unbelievably messy, you'd be surprised how I can ink from the mess >.<

I don't know if I can put up another tut anytime soon though, but I'll see what I can do.

But anyways, the key is to study anatomy! There's no quick and easy fix!

[jt4470]

[Minimaul]

Thanks much. I can't wait to get home from work and start practicing. heh.... seriously. :0
