No, there aren't any. And the ones you can find are written by amateurs that can't draw for shit.
Learn perspective. Copy anime artists. That's it. There's no secret formula.

>Even knowing the general placement on real heads doesnt really help
Sounds like you need to draw more

Study old school Disney then cheapen it because that's all anime is.

Study the scull, study the eye. Draw head turnarounds. Get a figure and use it as a guide or even better, sculpt one. There’s a lot of ways to go about it really.

Welcome to the difficulties of stylisation, that you can't just pick up any photo and get the answer. There's a reason why stylisation is harder than realism. Keep a folder of favourite anime artworks and refer to it

>Even knowing the general placement on real heads doesnt really help
You should study more, both realism and anime. If you know what an eye looks like in many angles and have drawn it yourself, identifying it in an anime drawing will be a lot easier. Eyes are hard and I don’t blame you, but cmon you should know what to do.

>Even knowing the general placement on real heads doesnt really help
learning the real thing is just about the only thing that will help you, animu follows the same logic as the human head but details are softened and washed out into ambiguity, or distorted by cartoon expressions, so understanding what it's deviating from is important.

Look into the how to draw manga books series from back in date its the great resource that will help you with anime anatomy

Just buy yourself a decent quality figurine and use that as reference

>>4903815
It's the same, you just shring the rule of thirds on nose, mouth,chin cause
>smaller cutter obsession
And double the eyes one. Or just use the classic rule of thirds and shift the eyes as you like until you get it the way it pleases you.

Retard weebshit blaming the resources and not his incompetence, like a clockwork.

No shit, Sherlock. Do you want an award for pointing out the obvious?
>holy fuck man have you ever touched a fundamentals book in your fucking life or you just read manga all day? it infuriates me how retards like you can be so clueless on this day and age.
Presumptuous and smug at the same time, what a winner. Don't drop your lollipop.
>inb4 HURR WHY ASK FOR SOURCE UGHGHGHJHG
Because it's still neat for what it is and I wanna see what else the artist drew.

Jesus Christ ic is literally full of retards

>>4904040
So the democrats are using anime tutorials to get people to wear masks now?

>>4909186
I've heard this several times from many popular youtubers, the idea that stylisation is somehow more difficult than realism is a quite popular one among the wider art community outside of /ic/.

>>4909186
Ones like you? For sure.

>>4909186
spotted the beg dunning kruger

>>4909230
I think that depends entirely on how you define realism. Are they talking about copying photographic reference and drawing from life or invention?
The latter becomes more difficult the higher you aim for realism. Simplified anime heads are objectively easier to draw on model consistently from imagination compared to doing doing the same in a hyper realist style.

appealing anime heads that aren't in profile or front view often don't follow proper perspective but still look appealing. i.e. in a 3/4th view the eye is put closer to the ear than would be proper.

>>4909422
this guy fking gets it, anime style is inconsistent at times and prioritizes more on the convenience of appeal. At certain angles it does not follow proper anatomy and perspective.
