Art First Drawing

I thought id show my first drawing i ever made of a female Anime Head, it's far from perfect but it isn't all to bad.

 

First of all, welcome aboard!

Your drawing is good, but you made her face too long. The chin is like world record class Also, u put the lens flare's in the eyes in opposite directions. Now i'm no expert but either there are two sources of light or something wrong with the pic.

Hmm what else.. the hair looks bit like a piece of cloth on her head, u should draw hair behind the head too.


That's enough of me already. Again, welcome. And keep alive.

 

Yes i did see that the face was to long and as i said once before it isn't perfect i know that and thanks for your statments and help

 

I see you've used guidelines for drawing the face and eyes. Try using a cross, so you have a horizontal line or two (that'll help you line up the eyes). I figured out that you probably drew the facial features first, then drew in the facial outline to encompass the features inside. Well it would have worked, but you had the nose and mouth too low to begin with. Also, most people generally think of anime girls as having "big eyes, small nose, small mouth." Try to keep that in mind as you draw.

Not everyone does this, but for me I like to draw realistic foreheads. Because of that, I tend to see how other people draw foreheads (or tend to forget all about them), and this one you drew was kinda small. (The hairline is too low for my taste.)

Also you seem to be having a lil trouble with drawing anime-style hair. I do too, so I just draw realistic hair instead. (For me it's much easier, plus it sets my style a lil apart from mainstream anime styles.) Try experimenting with different ways of drawing hair, and you might find a way that's easier but still nice.

 

Yes i do have problems with Anime hair, i just can't get it to look the way i want it too but im sure il get the hang of it sooner or later. Also as you probably have seen i messed the eyes up and a way to long chin. But for that, that it was my first Anime female head i have ever drawen in my life im pretty much proud of it, even thought it's way from good.

 

I've thrown away the first dozen or so anime faces I've drawn, cuz after every few years I'd look back at them and see how ugly they were. And yup, practice does make perfect. It took me about 4 years to get to where I am now.

 

Oh so your saying my face is ugly thanks alot, at least so i got it from how you posted the last thing anyways sorry that im not perfect after my first drawing.

 

Anyways this is the second female head i made if anyone want's to check it out i do belive i made the eyes better on this one.

 

i think the eyes are the strong point of your stuff. but they're usually about 1 eye width apart. and try flatening the face up a bit. it is a tad elongated.

 

It seems to me i do tend to pull the face to long so said the chin for some odd reason, but i do kinda like the eyes of the Character, also the hair is a weak spot at the moment.

 

hair usually is. depending on what style you do, the hair of a character will often be the most complex part of the drawing. you'll probably have trouble with it for a while. especially if you colour them
