Drawing a simple head - TUT

Okay.

i HONESTLY dont remember WHO. But someone contacted me via MSN and thought my style of drawing is unique. Anyways, this person was curious as to how i draw character heads. i understand without hair, the heads look a little funny and are hard to draw.

So this is how i do it :

Simply draw the jaw first...

...and draw the FAR side of the face.
( easily drawn by a "C" shape )
This is the area in which the eyes is placed, dlightly deeper into the face than the cheeks.

...draw guide-lines across the face that go around the cheek-bones and across the front. Draw another down the center and another across the forehead, meeting up with the top of the "C". ( or close to it, depending on the shape of the head and such )...

...the tops of the eyes should meet with the top guide-line. And the same with the bottom of the eyes.
( to the bottom line )...

Depending on your character, the nose should fall right on the intersection of your middle and bottom guide-lines.

Now i included a few variations. For one the down and upwards angles aren't all that good. *shrugs* ...but the side-view is pretty self-explanitory.

AND as an added bonus. i even stuck FACES on 'em. None other than my own, and of course, my kiti, Serena's. =^_^=; As well as a few examples of when you'd use the different angles.
( like emotions )

So ummm...dont sue me for not remembering your name. And dont hold the notebook paper against me either. i'll have you know that the ONLY time i get to draw anymore is at school. So be glad you got your request done anyways...=¬_¬=;

Very useful, I wanted to learn how to draw your strange little, and yet very very big, head for a while now.
