Faceset [WIP]

[kenpokis]

I'm working on making a faceset for my main character for my game. Even though I am still in concept about his hair and things, I am working on the template for it. I am not very good at drawing, and this is my first attempt at a person. Please give me some CC and maybe some tips on how to color it,(like go back over the lines graphicly,skin,eyes,etc.) ;D

1 word:
the neck (okay, those're 2, but I don't think 'the' actually counts.

the neck should be thicker, and I think it actually starts right below the ear instead of there on 3/4 perspective.

other things:
> the other ear shouldn't be visible
> he's too chubby

the neck should be thicker, and I think it actually starts right below the ear instead of there on 3/4 perspective. This is a part of the Manga style of drawing.

other things:
> the other ear shouldn't be visible This might be a part of the Manga style, as well, or just that he likes ears.
> he's too chubby What is this about?! What's wrong with being a little chubby?

All in all, it's okay. You should really add more stuff next time you post another face set.

Also, those yes creep me right, the fuck out.

believe me, it is not manga style of drawing... hey, I love to draw manga myself!
about chubby thing > well, it looked as if he is 10 years old or something like that... well unless the chara is a kid of course ^^

... I can't count how many anime/manga characters have small necks. Maybe not that small, but he really just needs to size-down the head, for it, though.

I was going to give picture examples, but Google's giving me crap results.

Plus, it certainly looks like a kid. What was there to suggest otherwise?

Kenpo, I think you should work on straightening out your line work. His head's got strange bumps on it. O_O

 

[Venetia]

He looks scared, his head is bumpy, and the eye on the far side of his face is actually bigger than the nearest eye: Perspective faux pas!

I find it helps to look at the drawing in another direction. Hold the paper up to light and look at it from the other side. You might notice things popping out at you that you'll want to change.

Hey, thanks for all the comments. I know the head is lumpy I am getting ready fix it. The right eye is bigger than the other, I was going to fix that yesterday but got to tired. I'll try and straighten all out, then i'll post an updated picture.

I don't really know how to explain it, so I did it at the picture..

Well, that's just my opinion, so.. peace! 

 

[kenpokis]

Alright, here is the updated version. I have took the advise, tell me what you think. I am working on that right eye still. :D http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s300 ... ceset2.jpg[/img]

I'd say fix the shoulders. Your shoulders don't turn when you turn your neck and head. The thing that makes him/her look like a kid is the head size to shoulder ratio. Average person has a shoulder length of 3 heads. If your going for manga style then you hit the kid head/shoulder ratio perfect, also a good ratio for a young female, 2head wide is good for female, 2.5 for male, if you wanted to make a really musclar guy you'd go with a 4 head to shoulder width.For very young kids 1head is a good ratio. Legacy is right about the neck should start under the ear, again the neck can give an either kid/male/female look depending on the thickness. If its 3/4 view the the right jaw should curve longer then the left jaw they shouldn't be equal. Hope this helps a litte.

Alright, Well is 14 a kid? Anyways here is the update,(I know I update too much.)

Well, I tried to point out your mistakes. The outward facing cheek should reach it's furthest farther up, but I was trying to maintain your 'Style'. I hope you realize you were trying to draw a person, and not an alien. When drawing people, you need to learn realism. All anime is, is a simplified style to portray real life. Learning to draw in a simplified style before realism stunts artistic growth tremendously. Study Hogarth.

Thanks! I think i'm just going to start over. I'll be using your drawing as a reference.

Edit: Nevermind, I'm just going to do some major tweaking to the original.

That tutorial should help.
