Random question but is there a way to make sure you dont draw the head too big? Its a really big issue with me for some reason and i spend more time trying to fix the head than actually finishibg the piece when i notice
i could be an ass and tell you that âany size is fine because its your style and you do what you wantâ, but if you are uncomfortable with the way your art style is coming out to be and especially if you identified a problem that you dont know how to fix directly, then yes, any advice from other artists is welcome. i understand your problem because itâs something iâve had trouble with for years and still sometimes have a hard time doing when drawing from scratch.
you know what, itâs not bad to make proportion mistakes, because sometimes all the fixes you need to bring to it is simply resize it, then redraw the lines if youâre picky about consistency in your lineart.
my biggest, perhaps most condescending advice that any artist out there will immediately give you without second thought is: practice. nothing comes up naturally if you dont spend ages perfecting it.
want a more technical, specific advice? head width doesnât surpass the width of your body. it can get really close to it, but never more. so, when you draw your sketches, keep in check that the head isnât wider than the torso!(weâre speaking realistic/semi-realistic human proportions, not cartoonish/anime and all that).
(fact: the human head, despite being relatively small at birth, doesnât grow in size as much as the rest of your limbs. which is why babies have comparatively big heads compared to the rest of their body for standard human proportions, then as the body grows, the proportion decreases. which is why you generally draw younger characters with bigger heads than adults.)
