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

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 :)

some nose shapes 

a PSA I feel strongly about. please spread the word

Had an impromptu chat with @ushi418 about fashion history the other day- thought I’d post it here as a quick ref for people!

can you make a tutorial on how to draw a face? (eyes,mouth,nose) im a beginner artist and i'd like some help please ^^

For eyes I just do three quick brush strokes (as shown by the red) 

noses are made out of a bunch of small triangles. I first draw a slightly curved stroke connecting to the eyebrow and follow it with a small triangle at the base of the nose (used to show other side of nose. this bit is not always going to be visable keep that in mind) and a small notch (the nostral)

(the only method I have for drawing lips is to do the top lip first it’s sort of a freehand thing from that point on sorry ;o;)

the first couple of pictures are just to show you were everything is on the face

Hope this helped!! ;v;

hi! would you happen to have any tips on drawing kisses? especially getting the squishiness of them right (like... the softness of lips and noses and how they get squished and pulled) while still maintaining likeness, you pull that off so wonderfully (I'm wildly in love with that KenBig kiss piece for example). i'd be very grateful for general advice on drawing kisses in a more realistic/semi-realistic style like yours too, or just a breakdown of your process? wishing you a good day!

Aw man

Thank you for saying that I manage to pull it off because it honestly doesn't feel like that at all lmao I struggle with drawing kisses a lot which is the reason I rarely ever draw them, despite smooshing everyone's faces together in my head constantly. Once I figure it out though it'll be over for all my blorbos and there'll be nothing but smooches on here!! (threat)

So I'm not quite sure what to tell you. My process involves a lot of frustration and swearing but I guess that isn't very useful advice so ... I usually start with roughly trying to figure out the angle I want. Bonus points if one of the faces is somewhat hidden behind the other lmao

After that I sketch in where the main features would go, just in general, to help me figure this thing out better. And then I go in and adjust it to match the likeness of the characters I want to have at it

Idk it's a lot of trial and error and throwing things at the canvas to see what sticks, and there's probably a better and easier way to do this, lol. If I had any tips to give it would be to try and keep it as simple as possible, especially the line where the two faces meet. It's essentially just a sort of ... zigzag, really. For some added squishiness I like to go in with the eraser and erase some of the thickness of the lines in places where they'd be smooshed together more. Not sure how to explain it ... kind of like this:

I hope that makes sense and this whole thing was at least a little helpful haha have a wonderful day yourself! ♥
