1. 1 Introduction: Hello everyone and
welcome to this tutorial. You struggled trying
to draw characters, faces in different perspectives. If you want to get
better drawing your own characters
from various angles, then this is the tutorial
to get you started. In this tutorial, we will start by understanding
perspective using basic shapes before
moving on to construct face. I will be teaching you
how to draw a face from three-quarters
insight profiles for both male and female characters. This tutorial will
be helpful for beginner and
intermediate artists. I recommend that you have a basic understanding of
drawing a simple face. Before starting this tutorial. There's a tutorial link
below that you can refer to. You can use both traditional and digital mediums
for this exercise. I will be drawing digitally
using Clip Studio Paint. My resources will also be useful as you go
along this tutorial, you can download them
in the link below. Improvement comes with practice. I encourage you to practice
drawing often and putting what you have learned into
practice soon enough, you will be able to easily draw pieces from various profiles. I hope this tutorial will be
useful for your art journey. I would love to see
your final drawings. So do post them in the
discussion section.
2. 2 Class Project: For our class project, I would like you to work on
drawing a character's face in two different perspectives
other than the frontal view. For more advanced artists, you can try adding
on the hair as well. They don't need to be punished. Drawings, getting the
overall structure and angles rights
are more important. In the discussion section, you can post your drawings and your questions and
I will answer them. You can also let me know the
areas where I could improve to help you learn better or what you would
like to see next. Most importantly,
enjoy the process, have fun and experiment
3. 3 Pen Pressurre: When you first download
your drawing software, you may need to set up your
pen prejudice settings. It is really important that you ensure that you are
drawing with pen pressure. When I first started
drawing, I had no idea. I was drawing with
a pen pressure, which made it extremely difficult and
frustrating to draw. What is pen pressure? It is a setting
that allows you to very heavy, light, thick, and thin strokes,
allowing you to create beautiful and
interesting linework. It is usually set up by
default in a drawing software. Here I will show you how to adjust your pen
pressure settings. Since I am using Clip Studio, I will demonstrate
with this software. However, with any other
digital drawing software, there should also be a similar temperature
settings setup. Go-to fall. In pen pressure settings. It will open up a dialogue box. Now, draw continuous stroke on your tablet as how you would normally draw while varying your line weight with
heavy and light pressure. The graph will appear to vary one when you finish
drawing like so. The more variation, the better. Once you are satisfied. Click Check adjusted settings. Click Done. If you're not satisfied, you can continue to draw
another continuous stroke with more variation in line weight depending on your preference. And that's all. Now, you should be able to draw
with pen pressure. However, if you find that
this is still not working, you may want to restart your software or reconnect
your tablet driver
4. 4 Understanding Perspective Using Basic Shapes: To be able to construct objects from various angles
and points of view, we need to have a
basic understanding of perspective and space. This is a one-point perspective
grid shown on screen. Means that there is only
one vanishing point, which is the dark circle
that you see in the middle. You can download this
results in my link. I'm going to construct a cube in the middle of
the perspective grid. This will show the cube
from the front view. Draw the cube, one of the
horizontal lines of the grid. This is how it looks like
from the front view. Next, I will draw a cube in a
three-quarters perspective, fixing the left.
On the same line. Draw square exactly
the same as the first. Except because of the angle, you'll be able to see the
side plane of the cube. The side plane polarized light diagonal
lines of the grid. Now, I'll also draw another
cute on the right side. This is exactly the
same as the left. Just an acute is now
facing the right. As you can see, the cubes
are all on the same plane, on the same horizontal line, and all of the same sizes. You can draw the cube in various perspectives anywhere
on the perspective grid. You simply have to follow the green lines
when constructing the q i different
modality perspective. From an adult perspective, the grid guide you on how to
angle the object accurately. I will show you what
the cubes would look like if they were
nearer to the front. As objects move near to
you, they will look bigger. This cube will be slightly bigger than the
ones at the back. I will follow the
diagonal grid lines when drawing the
planes of the cube. Because the cube
is now in front, you will be able
to see some parts of the top plane of the cube. You can extend grid lines to draw the plane
more accurately. Links are drawn on
acute in the middle. And we're now
looking at the cube from the top-down perspective. As you can see, I have
drawn the cube on the same perspective
as the middle Q. You'll be able to see a bit of the top plane of the cube
due to this perspective. Lastly, I will draw
another cube on the right. Again, this is similar
to the cube on the left, just that it now
faces the right, the left plane of the cube, and the top plane of the cube. Kim seen from this angle. I'm going to show you
another example of drawing a pyramid
with a square base, bottom, and far planes. This is how the permanent will look like from the front view. When the permits and the left, him in the pyramid
is on the right. The square base follows the lines of the
perspective grid. In the site planes of the permit can be
seen from the angle Hello, draw another
pyramid and urine to the front position on the left. As you can see, the
perspective grid helps to guide the angle
of the square base. This is how the premium will look like when it's
in the middle. From a top-down perspective. You can actually see a bit
of both sides of the plane. Finally, the permanent
when it faces the right, will look similar to
the one on the left. You can even try something
more complicated using the same principles by using a combination of
different basic shapes. As long as you follow the perspective grid and its angles, the objects drawn will look
accurate and proportional. Here I'm going to combine
a cuboid with acute. First draw the cuboid, and then draw the cube
on top of the keyboard. I'm going to use
another color to draw the cube for
differentiation. The same principles of perspective will
apply to the cuboid, much like how we drill
the cube earlier. Objects near to the
front, we'll look bigger. Objects at the back
will look smaller, even though they are
of the same size. If you're using Procreate, it comes with the
perspective grid, which is very useful. You can easily set
up perspective. Make sure the planes
of the objects follow the perspective
diagonal lines. This will ensure
that the objects drawn will look correct
in proportional. In the next section, we will apply these principles
when we draw a face
5. 5 Draw a Head Using Basic Shapes (Male): Next, we will use a cube as a guide to construct the
heat and its features. You can use the Q
and a sphere as a guide to join a face
from various angles. You can draw a square and circle easily using the shortcut, you can clip Studio
for the quicker to, to construct shapes quickly. You can hold onto the
Shift key when you construct the shape to
lock its dimensions. This will ensure
that you will get a perfect circle and square. I will construct a
sphere inside the cube, which is the head
of the character Joe cross in the
middle of a circle. Now, I will draw the same for the heat of the
character on the left. As we practiced earlier. Draw the side plane of the cube. This will be visible. Further diagonal lines of the Perspective Grid menu draw the side plane of the cube. The vertical and horizontal
lines should curve outwards as they follow
the shape of the sphere. The lines mark where you want
the facial features to be. Now, I'm doing the same for
the heat on the right side. Now, let's draw the facial
features of the face facing the front yard, a cheeks jaw line. And yes, at the site, the horizontal line marks
where the eyebrows will be. Draw the eyebrows, followed by the ice below the eyebrows. The intersection where
the circle meets the square is where the
nose will be positioned. Finally, draw the
ellipse using two lungs. I'm not going to draw
the hair at this stage. You will now met the features to the hit on the left
and the right. The red dotted lines mark where the facial features
should be met. If the Haidt's are all
in the same plane. I'm mocking the brow line, the nose line, and
the chin line. From the three-quarters view, the heap profile will
look like a peach. The chin connects to the
jaw line and the yellow. You can always rotate the canvas to make
sure that the face looks proportional and adjust
your drawing accordingly. Using the dotted
lines as a guide to draw the eyebrows on
their first rate dotted line Mark the position of the nose, which is at the intersection
of the sphere and a cube. I'm drawing another
dotted line to make out whether ice
should be pleased. When drawing the eyes from
the three-quarters view. The ion, the leftmost
of the screen, will look slightly shorter in width compared to the
right or duty the ankle. Now, draw a slight curve for the nodes connecting to
the point we made earlier. Finally, draw two
lines for the lips, which is directly
below the notes. I'm making some adjustments to the gin so it is a bit sharper. They should always
be a slight gap between the eyebrow
and the year. You can enlarge the heat, which is the spheres like
lead to show the full heat. And then draw the
neck that stats from the year connecting downwards. Now I'm just quickly drawing the same for the site
profile on the right. You may follow
along for practice. Remember that you
can always rotate your canvas to check if the
drawing looks accurate.
6. 6 Draw a Head Using Basic Shapes (Female): Now I will demonstrate drawing a female face using
the same concepts so you can see the differences between a female face
and a male face. So let's do the same thing. Drag cute in a circle
with an acute. For female faces. That chicks tend to be rounded with a sharp chain
tapering downwards. I'm drawing the vertical line, the horizontal line
intersecting the circle. Yeah, I'm also mapping
the line for the eyes. Eyebrows for females tend
to be more rounded and their eyes are also more
rounded and bigger. If a thicker lash line and
with more obvious eyelashes. Females, then noses
are also more rounded. Instead of being
straight and sharp. The lips can also
be drawn smaller. Now I will map the features to the three-quarters left view. Draw can purchase a sharper gene and a more rounded
jaw line for girls. Now I'm drawing the cuffed
eyebrows. From this angle. The left side of the
face is foreshortened. And you will see that the left, I looked shorter compared
to the right eye. This is the middle line which marks the placement of
the facial features. Since the eyes are
looking towards the left due to perspective, the eyelashes, I seem to also curve towards the
left from this angle. Draw the curve of the nose. In small leaves. Here I'm adjusting the chin slightly
so it looks sharper. And there's a gap between
the lips and chin, we will meet a
character look better. Lastly, I draw the connecting
the year to the jaw line. Only one of the yes can
be seen from this angle. You can practice and apply the same principles for drawing the profile
on them, right? In this section, you can follow
along as I completely dry
7. 7 Draw the Side Profile: Next, I will show you how to draw the heat from
the site profile, which is very useful when
developing your own characters. I will go through the features
of the face for us to compare how it looks like from
the front versus the site. This is how an eye would look
like from the front view. From the side view. I
will look like this. The lids are curved. In the pupil tends to
be rounded outwards. The bottom lash line
will also curve upwards to meet
the top lash line. If you want to
eyelashes to the ice, the eyelashes from the side
view will curve outwards. From the side view. The nose was that near the eye. And it will curve outwards, forming something like
a triangle shape. For the lips, they're made up of two rounded curves into lines. The lower curve
indicates the bottom of the chin will start
below the bottom lip. And your curves are protrudes outwards before connecting
to the jaw line. It is up to individual
preference. E.g. you may want
to shop at chin. In that case, you can draw the chin protruding
outward small. Let's use the perspective
grid and doesn't lines again to draw
the site profile. The SipProfile will
face the left side, starting from the forehead. The eyebrow, onto the
first red dotted line is we practiced the
features earlier. Iran will look
something like this. Now, draw the eye insight viewed directly
below the eyebrow. Ms. more practice, you'll
get more familiar drawing the features of a face without
looking at a reference. Since I'm drawing
a male character, the nose bridge is
sharper for males. Hence, how adroit
protruding out, what's the nose length should
end somewhere on that line. Yeah, I'm mapping the red
dotted line for the chin. Draw two curves for the
lips below the nose. And Josh top chin
protruding outlets The Yoshi's start from the first red dotted line and it will connect
to the jaw line. Here the yellow looks a
little too close to the face. So I shifted it further away
using the selection pen, shortcut M on the
Clip Studio Paint. Now I'm drawing the jaw line and connecting it to the year. Once again, make
sure that there's a gap between the
eyebrow and the year. Drawing it too close or too far, we'll make the character
look a little odd. Now I'm drawing the neck that
connects from the back of the skull in another line starting from somewhere
near the cheating. I had a smile to
the lips. Like so. Now I will show you how to
draw the site profile in the opposite direction from the heap profile on the right. Please follow along at your
own pace. Happy drawing. Flip the Canvas to check that the drawing
is not lopsided. I adjusted my drawing here a little with the
selection area too. As I found my drawing
slanting to the right
8. 8 Drawing Heads Using Template: I've prepared a template
for a number of different heat profiles that
you can practice drawing. You can use this as a resource when you want to
construct a face. I'm going to show
you how to do so. Start a new canvas
of your desired size to draw a four or a three. Both works. Open the template image up on your drawing software and reduce the layer opacity to 30%. Now create a new layer
on top of the template. I named this the practice layer. Now you can zoom in onto the hip profile that
you want to draw. The vertical and the
horizontal lines serve as guidelines for drawing
the facial features. I'm going to sketch it out so
it's a little bit clearer. Like to start by drawing the eyebrows on the
horizontal line. Then draw the eyes directly
below the eyebrows. Sure again, that there's a
gap between the eyebrows and the nose is a slight curve. In the template, the position of the nose has already been met. The lips are then two
lines below the yes. You can then trace out the fees, the chin, the jaw line, and connect it to the yes. Now you can hide
the template layer and you will see a
finished sketch. Your more advanced in drawing, you can even add on here for your character from
this perspective. It may be a little
challenging duty angle. I'm going to quickly drop the hair to complete
the character. I usually like to make the chin sharper and more tapered
for my characters. Some adjusting the face. Because the template
is just a guide. You can adjust your character's
face however you wish. It is very useful
and a quick way to see the hits from
various angles. Now I'm going to show you how
you can use the template to draw a site profile easily
with what we learned earlier. I'm going to zoom in on the
heap profile facing the left. Once again, the lines for
the eyes have been met Size that I'm starting
from the eyebrows, enjoying it on the eyebrow line. Then I'm drawing
the site view of the eye. Below the eyebrow. Follow the phase shift in the template and
outline the forehead, the nose, the lips, the gin, and the jaw line. Then you can draw out the year. I'm also drawing the neck. Now I can unhide the template
layer to see my sketch. I want to make some
adjustments to the character. So I'm going to sharpen some
features like the chin. I'm also going to make slight
adjustments to the nose. You can stylize the
character to your liking. I'm just going to add some
hair to complete a look. You can even try to cite profile from another
perspective. This is the top-down
perspective. I mimic the vertical and
horizontal lines for clarity. Similarly, at the horizontal
line we're going to draw the eyebrows and the eyes. Do note that the eyes
from this angle will be smaller due to the
top-down perspective. So you can hardly
see much of the eye. The eyes are also facing
towards the left. So the left eye will
look even smaller than the red outline, the shape of the nose. Enjoyed the lips,
which are two curves. The lips follows the
horizontal line. I'm going to outline
the face shape, the jaw line, and the Yes. I'm also drawing the shoulders and the neck according
to the template. You may want to adjust
your drawing a little, but I think this looks fine. Now I'm going to draw the hair for this character as well. Notice that you can
see more of the top of the nodes due to the
top-down perspective. So imagine that you are
looking down on the character, and this is what you get. So now I've completed
the drawing of the person from the
top-down perspective. Another perspective you can try is the bottom-up
perspective, which is the hardest,
in my opinion. If you follow the principles
and you want a challenge, I encourage you to try
out this perspective Once again, map out the
vertical and horizontal lines. The eyebrows will follow the curve of the
horizontal line. So it should always be almost parallel to the horizontal
line in all times. The ice below the
eyebrows would also follow the curve of
the horizontal line. The eye from this
angle is also very small and you can't
really see much of it. I'm adjusting my drawing of the eyebrows so that they follow the curve
more accurately. I also draw it closer
to the nose bridge. Follow the curve of the nose
bridge on the template. Here I've also added a nostril
which will be visible. The next will be
directly below the nose. And again, it will
curve the same way, it's a horizontal line. The lower lip here is a bit thicker due to the angle
from the bottom-up, rather remaining face, the
chin, and the jaw line. Joining the chin
and jawline from this angle is
slightly challenging. As B are not used to seeing
faces from this angle. There will be a
shadow costs below the chin which I
have shaded here. Find the knee completely yes. And draw the remaining hit. I'm also drawing the neck and the shoulders
according to the template. Then adding on some hair
to complete the loop, I decided to adjust the nose bridge so it
looks a bit sharper. I encourage you to use this
template as a practice to drawing and understanding hate profiles from different angles. It will really help
you as you practice. And you will soon
be able to draw without even referring
to this template
