should i be trying to master like each feature before i try drawing a face? like should i be able to draw eyes really well, then move to the nose, mouth etc? i dont know when i should be moving on to the next step. right now, mouths are a frustrating thing but i also try to draw the whole face because proportions practice, so its all very over whelming and then i get discouraged cause drawing lips is so hard and putting everything to make a face is hard ;-;
I think if you’re having trouble with a feature you should definitely do some studies of it! I practiced the face all at once so I don’t really think there are any rules to this haha. The downside to trying to master one feature at a time is, like you said, not being sure when to move on. You might end up drawing amazing eyes but the rest of the face will always be a little off because you haven’t put enough time into studying the other features. I’m sure you’ve also come across artists who draw nice heads and it all falls apart when they try to draw a fullbody. Personally I’d just tackle the face all at once, take time to study the separate features but try not to neglect any of them and don’t think you can’t draw a face because you aren’t a master of a particular feature! You can do it * V * Here are some quick notes on lips, I hope they help a little.

Sorry if someone has already asked this but can you show us a colouring tutorial please?

OH YEAH HERE’S MY PEN SETTINGS
Need a bigger serving of practice? Check out the 19-paged worksheet and .psd practice file!
The difference between a beginner’s comic and an experienced artist’s comic comes down to the details, and one of the biggest “invisible” details is proportion.
How does an artist utilize page and panel layout, negative space, word balloons and composition to their best advantage? This Shingworks tutorial covers all of this information, and the 19-page supplement worksheet and comic proportion analysis template .psd takes it a step further and teaches you how to analyze real comics so that you can apply these principles to your own comics :]

Anonymous said: I know you’ve shown how you draw faces from different angles very briefly before, but I was wondering if you’d ever go more in depth? For example, I always struggle with drawing the eyes at a ¾ angle… 😔
Ok, I get this question so many times that I decided to do something about it. I’ve already made a tutorial about drawing eyes and tbh it should help with drawing eyes from any angle, the tricky part is to understand the human face, its anatomy. If you see the face/head as a three dimentional object you’ll be able to draw it, I can’t say it enough, 3D thinking is important. Also, references are important, drawing from life is important because then you have a 3D model of the head right in a front of you. All you need to do is observe and understand.
Just when you thought you knew everything about boobs… NSFW?
My darling friend Chizzi mentioned that there are a lot of booby tutorials out there are just predrawn boobs with the artist going HEY LOOK! HERE ARE SOME BOOBS! but not many that actually talk about the anatomical structure, and where to put the lines. I was like, “Hey, I can probably whip something up.“ And so I spent my thanksgiving making this.
Proportions probably aren’t exact, but I did my best. I also didn’t explore the various body types, but perhaps I could do a separate tutorial someday. I hope you find this tutorial useful :)
