Grrr.... I hate artblocks... but it did give me time to draw up a tutorial for you guys! (Not a whole lot of thinking involved, lol).

Pretty much this is a step by step of how I draw faces, starting from the nose and working outwards. This is the method that I use the most (I realllly can't use the circle system-- it just doesn't work for me) in the most common expression and face angle that I pick when I'm bored and just want something cutesy. Choosing Simba was just supposed to be generic since I think he's the easiest to draw/sketch. So here you go, two for the price of one

Here are a few things you may want to know for now, but feel free to ask questions:

1. Lines that don't look like they should be there like in 3, 9, & 11 are "erase this part" marks.

2. This is NOT how I do my lineart. I nearly always will start out with a sketch before starting a new layer for the lineart.

2. I chose to use blue and red marks in hopes of making it less confusing for you guys. There are also some purple marks, but you should understand what those are without explanation I should think

2. Tip: In Photoshop or any other program at all, either draw the whiskers at the very end or put them on a separate layer. It makes coloring the "fur" sooo much easier.

3. If this method does not work for you, that's alright. This is my method and therefore it's the one that works BEST FOR ME. It takes time to develop your own.
