Drawing the Face of a Cartoon Girl

Video Transcript

"All right, in this clip we'll be doing the face. This step you want to take kind of carefully. One false move could completely ruin the look you have going already. And you want to make sure you stick with what ever it is with the character that you have created so far. So going back to our test page, we'll start experimenting on different girls faces. Now what I'm going to do here, is I'm going to show you exactly what I mean by doing the wrong thing based on what you have given. Here we have a pretty normal looking girl going for now, right? Well if I accidentally go a little too wide on her face, she becomes just a little bit bigger. See how that ended up happening? All I did was just go a little bit too wide on the cheeks, and now all of a sudden she going to be just a bit more big. If you want to go for a skinnier look, a skinny girl, keep her tight to the jaw, following the head up. She'll end up looking more like an alien again at the end of the day. What we should of done with this girl since we're going for more of a bigger look, is we should have gone a little bit wider in the face. And that would have worked out good for hers. The villian character, we should probably go for more of a long chin, probably end up making this woman full fledged witch. But you see how that goes, that fits her, it fits that design perfectly. So don't make the mistake of going too wide on the face. Be very careful when you do this part. Keep it close in, just the right amount. Not too big, not too small. And what you do, when you follow up the or go up the jaw to the side like this, that's what will be the anchor point for the ear. We'll just give her a tiny little ears, nothing too big. Unless we really want to call attention to them, which in this case we don't. And there you go, there is her face, a nice healthy looking face. And the natural step after this is the hair. So moving on."
