Anime face study Anonymous Tue Sep 15 15:57:27 2020 No.4868740 [Reply] [Original]

/beg/ here.
Whats the best way to study anime faces?
Should i only focus on symbols or should i break up the form.
I am already doing studies on all of the fundamentals.

Study anime figurines. Because it's a physical object they obviously can't cheat anything, and they had to figure out a way to make it still look like the character from every possible angle. It'll never be EXACTLY right, but it's a lot closer to anime than an actual human skull is.

>>4868740
if you wanna copy, try to learn the construction method of whatever you're trying to do.
if you wan't to create your own style, go study real faces and stylize.
most of the time it's something inbetween. people play with proportions, lean on the structure of real human skulls and take small bits and pieces from other artists they like.

either way, if you can draw a real human face (it doesn't have to be masterful, just to the point where you don't make major mistakes) then you'll have an easier time understanding anime faces as well.

Aww jeez you guys now it's starting to seem like Loomis is just a really well loved version of the same cranial / facial mass concept we've had for hundreds of years. Maybe the biggest difference between Loomis' ball and face and anime is just his opinion of proportions and the quality of his teaching materials.
