Do you have any advice on how to draw a head from a 3/4 view? Those trip me up pretty often when I'm drawing ;-;

Hey! Sorry it took so long for me to respond, finals week has been crazy~ But I put together a little something that I hope will help! Just some basic tips that I keep in mind when I’m drawing. I hope this isn’t too convoluted, I’m still a novice at putting together good tutorials~

EDIT: Tumblr is being super weird and keeps blurring out the quality of the jpg file but I fixed it! It’s still a little blurry but it’s much better than before. I’ll probably still post it separately, too :) Thanks for your patience!

And that’s about it! Hope this was helpful :)

Usually, how do you construct a face from different angles? Like 3/4, profile and front on?

Basically, I just set the position of eyes&middle of the face and then just draw the rest accordingly. Yeah… I suck at explaining so I made a gif with my usual process so you can see:

it kind of became a love triangle at the end lmao

The hairline-eyebrows, eyebrows-nose, nose-chindistances should be about equal. Ears are between eyes and nose. The rest of the head you can just draw however you want as long as it’s not too big i guess( you can check if it looks off by horizontally flipping the layer, and if it does then just transform it until it looks good from both sides lol). Personally, I like to make the edges of the head a bit more angular because I’m really bad at drawing circles haha.

More angles:

If you can’t figure out how to draw a certain angle I recommend posemaniacs or just look in the mirror (I have a mirror on my desk just for that purpose haha). The more you draw the better you’ll get so yeah go and draw your otp kissing from every single angle you can think of ‘cause that’s always fun. ヽ(　･∀･)ﾉ

I hope you don’t mind if I answer the ask about hair sometimes next week, cause I get the feeling it’s gonna get long
