Part one, Hair, by request. I’ll spit out part two soon.

[mugges]

Hello!! If it's not too much trouble, could I ask for a tutorial on how you color hair?

I usually put the line art for the body and the hair on separate layers. With the hair layer being above the all other line art layers.   

then I fill in the hair with a solid color (usually with the color I use for the other line art)

After locking the pixels on the hair layer I change the color to the darker shade of the color of the hair

These are the brush settings I use when shading hair for both Clip studio(manga studio) and Paint tool sai. I usually prefer to use Clip studio when I paint.  

After I change the color of the hair I start painting the light parts of the hair. starting with a large brush, making it smaller as I slowly refine the edges of the hair. After I get the lights in I go back in with the darkest shade and refine the hair even more. Then I end by adding highlights on a separate layer above the hair.

do you have any tips or tutorials on doing hair?

Alright well a good thing to keep in mind is where your hairline is and stuff and what kind of hair line. The two main ones is just your regular hair line and then there’s the widows peak (more rare).

Then another good thing to think of when drawing hair is the part, this will control where things like bangs will fall and what not. Hair strands also won’t go past the hair line unless you have a  character with a receding hairline in which case you would draw the hair line further up the head.

I draw my hair pretty chunky rather then lots of strands but this is how I go about it. 

After I finish drawing the hair I’ll colour it, then add some shading starting from the part.

It’s good to keep in mind on your light source and where the light will hit the hair when adding highlights. After I get the shading and lighting figured out I just render until I’m happy with it.

And then once I’m done rendering I’ll add a few little shine highlights and then I’m done.

Walla! painty pink hair.

Ania!! Please, I beg you!! Could you give some advice on how to do expressions and different angles of the head? I'm really bad at drawing but you inspired me and...oh god this sounds so stupid. I'm sorry, I love you and your art, hope you're doing well!

hello! Thank you so much.

Angles

so for the different angles of the head, its very important for you to know the proportions of the front view before drawing different angles. There are many different ways of starting the front view but I will show how I always start it out.

always draw a circle (this is for ANY angle) 

Draw a cross on the circle, the horizontal line should be drawn at the bottom of the circle, i would say between the first 1/3 and ¼ of the circle.

Draw the chin, and jaws and connect it to the horizontal line at the top

the nose should be at the center point where all the lines meet. The top of the ears should be where the eyebrows are (its ok if its eyes instead as well, I do that most of the time) and the mouth is aligned with the jaw.

same rules apply with any angle;

 start with circle again

draw the cross (see how the cross curves against the circle, think of the circle as a sphere and not a 2D shape. Heads are round like a sphere)

draw the jaw and pinpoint the ear (directly under the jaw)

then draw the cheek (remember that cheeks CURVE!) and the mouth still aligns with the jaw and the nose aligns with the bottom of the ear. Remember that the nose and mouth should always align with the chin. the distance between the eyes should be another eyeball the same size. the eyes should be a tiny bit closer to the opposite eye than to the ear, leave some space but not too much.

side profiles are the trickiest for me

circle again with a line on the edge of the circle

draw the chin and jaw, chins curve! necks do NOT go straight downward.

same alignments again as front view and ¾ view

please know that when you draw the actual face after sketching, you do NOT have to draw exactly as how the sketch is drawn. sometimes the drawing looks better if you dont completely follow the alignments etc, as long as it isn’t TOO wrong. if that makes any sense. Now that you know the alignments, you can apply to these rules to any head angle!!

if you want to draw people looking up or down: when you want to draw a person looking up, place the ears lower than usual. also if you look at the red circles next to the faces, the curves are much more bendy(?). when looking down, the ears are placed higher than usual and everything curves the opposite way.

Expressions

you just really need to exaggerate every feature on the face and you need to know how to read expressions.

remember that eyes are probably the most expressive feature (eyebrows too!). 

in the first face, you can tell he’s in thought because of the way he furrows his eyebrows a little bit and his mouth is slightly tilted to show confusion or in thought.  

in the second face, you can tell he’s uninterested/not amused etc because his eyebrows drop to a straight line and only half of his pupils are shown. His mouth hangs a little open too just to add a little bit to the expression :D

you can tell he is angry here because the way it sort of explodes movement? His hair is everywhere, his whole head thrusts forward from his body, his pupils contract and his nose wrinkles up which shows aggression.

he is embarrassed here by the worry in his face. he’s looking down and head is sort of hiding away while his shoulders rise which usually shows signs of no comfort.

basically, you need to be able to know what each expression does, how to read them and be able to put that in a drawing!! study them! lots of great examples here (x) (x) (x) (x)

i was asked how i draw “the sexe” in terms of faces so i made a super short thing bc eh why not

[spoonycorn]

OML YOUR ART IS AMAZING SENPAI (also could you please make a post on how to draw noses? I don't mean to be rude asking you, it's just I love your art and you can always get the nose PERFECT so could you please help me with that?)

Sorry, I am very bad at explanations.I hope it helps a little.Try to study different types of noses and keep an eye on the back of the nose and the shape of the tip and use geometric forms to recreate it.Do the details later, so you can observe the proportions.I also always use a kind of an arrow to point the direction of the nose.(٭°̧̧̧ω°̧̧̧٭)

Edit: Lenght. not Lengt XD derp.

dear lord, I cry every time I see your blog ;_; (LOVE the Supernatural art >.<) But can you make a tutorial on how to draw the outline of the face correctly? I mean, I get the features right, and can get them looking in different directions (up, down, right/left, etc.) BUT IT'S THE FRIGGIN FACE OUTLINE THAT THROWS ME OFF, you know, the curve of the cheek (ESPECIALLY connecting the corner of the lips to the forehead), chin, neck and all that stuff. Pleeeeese help!!

Thanks very much!! I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking but I hope this helps ;;

So our faces are shaped the way they are because it’s skin and muscle draped over an underlying structure aka our skull. Spooky!

This looks eerily similar to the typical ball/crosshair/etc face frame… because it is lol. If you’re having trouble with the cheek you can mark in the area where the cheekbones are as a reference point when setting up your face.

If you don’t want all your people to look like Benedict Cumberbatch all you have to do is draw a curve from the edge of the cheekbone down to the chin.

UMM for necks I think the basic thing you should know is that there are 2 strips of muscle that come out from behind the ear and wrap around to attach to your sternum. Usually people simplify it to 2 lines on the neck like in your favorite animu but now you know what it really means!

Please let me know if this was completely off the mark from what you were asking lol ;;; BUT UM YES
