Tutorial: Anime Heads

Tutorial for heads. To many of you, this may seem elementary, but I think it may help some of you out there. Especially for all of you who would like to learn how to draw heads...properly. I left some extra notes if you wanna read it

Proportion:
1.) The head is split into 2 pieces...top half, lower half. The top half includes the hair line, bangs, etc. The lower half...the more important half is the face: eyes, nose mouth, ears.

2.) Nose placement is halfway from the top of the eyes to the bottom of the face.

3.) Mouth placement is negotiable...if u place the mouth too high, the character looks like Jay Leno (super huge chin)...if you make it too low, the character looks slack-jawed. But if you put it a lil' bit higher from where it would normally go, you can make the character look more giddy and enthusiastic. If you put it a lil' lower than normal, you can make the character look a bit sadder, depressed.

If the head is proportionate, it will make your characters looking more natural...even if it is still anime style. Happy drawing
