HOW TO DRAW A MANGA FACE (MALE)

How to draw manga face (MALE)

Steps to draw ---

  • As you can see I have divide the drawing in 3 simple steps.
  • In the first step, circle is drawn. In this circle eyes and nose will be drawn. The line XY is called center-line. Center-line decides the position of eyes, nose and mouth. It is really important to draw it  correctly. The line EF is called eye-line, eyes are drawn ON the eye-line (as you can see in fig. 3).
  • In step 2, I have given the circle a structure of face. I have extended points E and F down making an acute angle(less than 90degree) with line EF, then From points G and H lines EG and FH has turned a little more Respectively. The lines EG and FH and the turns at Points G and H is important as they together make the basic shape of a jaw, this shape is same everywhere,Even in FEMALE. 
  • In figure 2 The chin or line KL is drawn a little wide to give a masculine look to the face (This Line is shortened to a point in female's jaw). We, Could have made it a little short to give the face less masculine or some smart and handsome look. 
  • Now, Observe carefully the ears of the face on right and left are drawn between the points E, P and F, Q Respectively. Always remember, The ears are drawn below the eye-line (In this case they are slightly above by my mistake, I'M Really Sorry for that).
  • The neck's thickness and longness can be adjusted according to the character's masculine and intelligent nature Respectively.
  • In the last step I have completed the drawing by drawing eyes, nose,mouth and eyebrows. Observe where have I placed the eyes, They are on the eye-line and at equal distances from center-line(which is very important to produce a good face drawing). Observe I have drawn nose from below the eye-line to the line PQ.

Points to remember -

  • You don't have to draw all these lines and chart etc. while drawing a face, just remember them and practice, You have to draw only Center-line and Eye-line. Other line are just used to make you understand the making of face.
  • Center-line--It is a line which divides the face and the body in two equal parts
  • Eye-line--On this line eyes are drawn.
