Description Hey there!!

So, quite a few people have asked me to do a tutorial, and I decided to make one today... Kumu-style. This is how I do faces! OKay, now I kinda whipped this up pretty quickly, so it's super basic and sketchy.

All the info in this is totally about my specific way of doing things, and I'm not saying it's how everyone does it, cuz it's not! lol... yesh, hope this helps some folks out.

Thanks!!
Good luck!

P.S. Don't trace guys, that's poopoo.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I shall practice very soon but if it turns out bad I won't be shaming you I'll just say that I randomly came across picasso and thought it would be fun (trust me, it'll turn out THAT bad) xD

Question: How do you fix the farther eye on the 3/4 face? I can draw the first eye but I can never get the shape, size, or dimension for that damned eye! as for other stuff like that (i.e eyebrows, mouth, etc.)

Kumu18 In reply to wata-coinkydink-not [2011-01-26 02:33:54 +0000 UTC]

Haha, awesome!! Glad this helps!

I hate to guess at these things, but I'm afraid
that I'm not quite sure what you mean.

wata-coinkydink-not In reply to Kumu18 [2011-01-26 21:36:14 +0000 UTC]

I think it's called foreshortening? Pretty much how do you shape the farther eye so that it's in the right position, is the right size, and such. Also with the mouth?

Kumu18 In reply to wata-coinkydink-not [2011-01-26 22:03:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh I gotcha!! Haha, sorry about that.

I do know what you mean now, but I'm not quite sure how to
explain it... Here, I shall try:
You want to make it smaller, but not TOO small.
Making it too small is a mistake I often make.
I would practice making them almost the same size,
but the further one just a weeeee bit smaller... I really hope
this helps some...
