NOTE: Sorry for the lack of pictures guys... I don't know what's wrong with my file, computer, or internet. Or maybe with the three of them. Every time I upload the picture, it becomes extremely distorted to the point that you totally couldn't identify what it is, but it appears normally in my computer. I'm sorry. Once I get down to the problem, I'll post the drawings. For now, this upload is for my English task. Well, enjoy I guess. Hope you readers can understand, even without the pictures.



So hey guys! In the previous post I've given a tutorial on how to draw a face base, but we're not done yet. If you're reading this now but you haven't seen the previous post, go see it. This post is a continuation of it.

So now we're getting to the part everyone likes. Drawing the eyes, nose, and mouth!! Well, not exactly drawing them yet. The elements of the face has many, many variations, each taking up an entire tutorial on its own. What we're learning now is the basic placement of the eyes, nose, and mouth on a mainstream manga style drawing :D

...As for the ears, neck, and hair, we can get to that later. I don't want to make the post too long. So either way, let's get on with the tutorial XDDD

So surely, if you have read the previous post (if you still haven't read it by this point, go read it now, GO) you'll still remember this picture

And if you followed the next simple steps in the previous post already it should already look like this

Now, let's get to the main part. Look at the circle. There is a vertical line dividing the circle into two parts, no? Let's n`me the left Area 1 and the right Area 2. Now, what you have to do, is with lines as thin as possible, try cut Area 1 and 2 precisely in half, vertically. That's where you'll draw the eyes. the upper eyelid is located exactly above the horizontal line which cuts the circle in the middle. It should look a little something like this:

Then, you may draw the nose, which is located right on the border of the lower half of the circle, right where the horizontal and main vertical line intersect.

As for the mouth, draw another thin-as-possible line cutting the area below the circle. Then draw a tiny horizontal slightly curvy line for the mouth. The length is from the vertical cutting Area 1 to the one cutting Area 2. Now the drawing should look like this:

That's all I guess. Now you've made a basic face!! Doesn't matter if it looks bad, remember guys, practice makes perfect!! :D For now, adios~
