hi! sorry for bothering, but what sort of guidelines do you use for doing faces at like a 3/4 angle? u draw them super well!!
Aaah, thanks! :)
I don’t use many guidelines actually, I feel like they over-complicate my process. BUT while I don’t usually use a lot of guidelines on the actual canvas, these are kind of theguidelinesI use in my head?
I talk about some of this stuff a little here as well.
Unfortunately in terms of facial features I can’t give you much help. All my knowledge comes from hours of practice and just memorizing how everything looks vs. having a proper guideline/method. I don’t really know how to articulate it welp
But I think having a basic understanding of the skull structure helps me the most in terms of guidelines. Arching the brows, eyes and nose placement, cheek bones…..I’m usually thinking of their relation to the skull when I draw these parts:
And this is some misc stuff I try to keep in mind as well (because usually I forget them lol)
Otherwise it’s all memorization and looking to refs.
I’m sorry it’s not very informative. If I knew how to I would love to help more, but I haven’t quite figured out these tutorial things yet. I hope it still proves useful in a small way, though.
Thanks again, and keep drawing friend ♡
