Little exercise sketch.

Progress:

Today's Art Tip is about drawing the head in perspective, and some shorthands to hopefully make that a little easier.

Re: foreshortening a jaw that very intentionally stylistically ends in a point.

Unfortunately, sharp chins, especially the shorthand you see in most manga and anime, are a stylistic shorthand that don't naturally occur in real life. Even if they did, sharp chins are a rendering of the front of the lower mandible. For an upturned face, we are looking at and trying to believably convey the UNDERSIDE of that lower mandible, which is a completely different shape.

(Keep in mind that build and fat distributions add a bunch of variables that looking at bones don't account for.)

So my advice for different chin sizes is to focus more on the shape and curve of the underside of the lower mandible.

Og. the one in r/animation is a reposter

Real quick, take a look at this and point out where you think the chin is on this drawing before scrolling down.

Got it pointed out? Okay, let's see how you did:

How does this artist determine the placement of the shadow to indicate the jawline?

They use the ventral line of the lower mandible.

This is why the lower mandible is what you need to pay attention to when drawing a face at this angle.

Remember that your rendering does not have to be perfect, it just needs to be legible. That's why the original drawing is good and works even if it's "technically incorrect."

Hope this helps!

I love how this meme has blown up with genuinely no hate in its body, like every person I've seen genuinely wants to provide their own examples of how to approach this kind of angle on the head correctly, it's very wholesome.

Preview of a Deltarune AMV/animation project I'm working on, to feed the starving Deltarune masses through the Deltarune winter. I'll finish this thing soon I swear.
