A Better Anime Girl Head

this is the last head pose (i Promise!)

ive searched and dled some tutorials while i try and find some books.

in my opinion she looks way better than the others,

if you comment about her eyes i can fix them easy enough i just thought id try those type out.

i know smudging is a cheap way of shading but it is only for show, atm.

hope you like her, put more soul into her this time.


her shoulder left (our right) shoulder is a bit bung so dont bother pointing that out lol just relised. ill fix it on the paper.

her hair is a bit aweird but its WIP.



post your comments, crits and suggestions

EDIT- second pic moved here for ur convinience
second

I'd agree, this one is much better than your other ones.... The only thing i see wrong with it are the ears which are a bit too high.

keep drawing... practice practice practice.

Maybe its your drawing-style, but I find ayes and ears too high. I don't like the ears, they are... bad... and big, and low-detailed. You gotta pratice shading. I haven't see your previous posts so I can't say if its better than the others. Anyway, as FatUglyNakedGuy said:


Salutions®

Thanks for the posts,

Here's a manga head, thought id post this here, i bought a book called
"The art of drawing MANGA"

so hope fully this helps me,

id like to think its a improvement of the one above.


EDIT- Moved pic to top for you ;)

btw i know it isnt shaded, im planning on coloring it in photoshop,

KILL IT, KILL IT!!!

Don't shade manga faces you crazy bastard!!! It's just not cricket, either colour it or leave it lol. If you do want to shad do cell shading with your pencil, if you don;t know what this is find out what it is or don't shade at all lol.

OK then...The face is fat, the chin sits too far below the mouth. the ears are the same as the eyes (wrong wrong wrong), but they should be at least double the length of the height of the eyes, they should be the same shape but thinner.

The eyes are too boxy, they should be smoother and more 'sexy'. For the hair you should do long thin strands then mat them together at the end, makes it look more realistic...Even manga noses are not dots in the middle fo their faces.

The ears really need work.

Do the following mate:

Look at manga every day, all the time.
Never try to draw something, just draw it.

Above all else the ears MUST be thinner, even elvin ears are thin, the ears resemble monkey ears and that is not something you want. Your ears are not too high they are too small and fat, make em thin and long.

Keep drawing, your getting much better.

-Peace.

thanks for the replies any more comments, crits or suggestions on both pieces?

the thing thats bothering me is the chin is like really pointed... and far away from the mouth... er... bottom lip

and the ears seem to be a bit big and high


whats wrong with shading?





boxy eyes are cool

hmm i think ill work on the ears a bit more, im currently working on a full pose manga girl, shes on a 45° angle, her head is more or less perfect but im having trouble with the body pose, ill keep on it and ill post it in a new thread.

anymore crits etc?
