EYES 

Drawing eyes is the most easiest, yet most difficult and important part of a character.

Through eyes we can show almost 45% of the characteristics of our character. Through eyes the Character can be reflected as evil or good, Smart or dumb, Beautiful or ugly, weak or masculine, calm or wild, etc. So, you can obviously see how important it is to learn how to draw eyes. And In this tutorial we will cover all those points needed to perfect the art to draw eyes, So guys pick your pencils and get ready to impress a girl by drawing her eyes !!! (Doesn't work  in case you're a girl)

NOTE :- BY SAYING SMART OR MASCULINE OR BEAUTIFUL EYES I MEAN THAT THESE EYES SHOW SMART OR MASCULINE OR BEAUTIFUL NATURE/TRAITS RESPECTIVELY.

• Before learning how to draw eyes, we must know how many TYPES of eyes are there-
• EYES OF MALE

1. Eyes of Hero. (Mainly covers eyes showing masculine and smart nature)  
2. Eyes of A villain. (Mainly covers Evil eyes)
3. Eyes of a side hero. (Covers eyes showing Intelligent,beautiful,Smart,Weak,calm nature)

1. Eyes of Heroine. (Beautiful,calm Eyes)
2. Eyes of a female villain. (Smart,Intelligent, types of eyes)
3. Eyes of a side heroine. (Masculine/,calm,wild,serious types of eyes)

• Notice the difference between the types of eyes used in main hero and heroine,side hero and heroine, male villain and female villain. The eyes of main hero are masculine and smart while eyes of main heroine are beautiful AND calm. The eyes of Side hero are intelligent,beautiful,smart,weak,calm eyes while side heroine has masculine,calm,wild,serious eyes. 
• We use this information to create characters and further comic books, NOTE--IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO USE EXACTLY THIS INFORMATION. FOR EX- YOU CAN MAKE YOUR MAIN HERO'S EYES  SERIOUS AND CALM TOO OR BEAUTIFUL, IT DEPENDS ON YOUR STORY AND YOUR CHARACTER. This is just a basic layout of the characters.

HOW TO DRAW MANGA FACE (FEMALE)

How to draw manga face (FEMALE)

Steps to draw-

• The steps to draw a female manga face is as same as drawing male manga face' It only needs little changes.
• In step 1 you draw a circle as same as we drew before while drawing male face. Here EF and KL are eye-line and center-line Respectively.
• In step 2 the difference is between the jaw. Here you can see that jaw is not made of two sharp lines but a single curve. A curve is used to make the jaw of female to show softness instead of muscularity. You can also see that this time the chin is a single point K (not like in male where chin is a line) to again show softness.
• The ears are placed at same place as in males, There is no difference. However there is a major difference in neck, You can see in female the neck is long and thin. This is to show beauty and softness.
• The figure 3 is very important to understand. Observe that the eyes of the female are comparatively bigger than male eyes, It looks cute and delicate, The mouth of the female is also smaller than that of male, Look that the nose and eyebrows are also smaller. All this is to give a cute and delicate look.

Points to Remember

• The eyes of female are always bigger than of males to give a cute and sweet look
• The mouth, Eyebrows, Nose, Face is always smaller than males.
• The neck of females is thin and long.
• The eyebrows are made thinner.

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.

TOOLS TUTORIAL PART 2

Advanced Tools

• Blue Lead Pencils (These are used in writing a comic, Blue does not show up when printing)
• PENS - 1.Dip pens--These are traditional Japanese ink pens widely used to draw manga or comics. They consist of two parts, one nib holder and other nib. These are some images of dip pens.

    The first image shows some of the nibs used in dip pens. The second image shows nib holders.       Now, these dip pens are difficult to find. But do not worry, The mighty invention of Micron pens has solved this problem.

These are called Micron pens, They are basically of six types based on the size of nib-005,01,02,03,05,08.

All dip pens and micron pens are used to outline characters,speed Effect lines( about which we will learn soon)and for backgrounds.

• Fine point Markers-Some cartoonists like to use them as they are easy to obtain and handle. They are also used in outlining objects when they need higher highlighting and also to color black.
• Point brushes-These brushes are a little bit different from regular brushes as they have highly sharp tip with which you draw line as fine as drawn by a 01 micron pen.(some veteran artists use these as substitute of micron pens and fine point markers)
  
    
• Black ink- This is something you won't be able to live without if you are aiming to become an artist.Black India ink is artists first choice but other high quality black ink can also be used.
• Correction Fluid or White ink- It is as much as important as black ink. It is real life saver when you make a major or minor mistake on the paper.
