Comic Draw: Drawing Profiles

3/7/2018

3 Comments

This week's how to session focuses on drawing profiles or the head in side view.

Drawing profiles

1-Draw the head shape first then put in the guidelines to position the main features

2-Draw a center line to position the ears

3-Draw a line across the middle of the head to position the eyes

4-Draw the hairline halfway between the eyes & top of the head

5-Position the nose halfway between the eyes and chin

6-The mouth goes halfway between the nose and chin

Notice* The most distinguishable features of any cartoon are the hair, eyes, nose & mouth

As you draw more profiles become familiar with the outlines or contours of the face

The forehead pushes out with a big curve from the hairline towards the eyes

The eye sockets recede

The nose pushes forward with a big sweep

The upper lip, lower lip and chin make sharp angles

When you have a handle on the guidelines and are familiar with the features play with different shapes to create different expressions

Thanks for checking out this week's mini lesson. Hope you found this useful.

Silhouettes are a useful method for designing your characters. They help make them as distinct as possible. In the above video I go over how to draw the head using silhouette shapes then building upon them.

1. Silhouette is the first thing to focus on to make your character unique. Comic characters have to be recognizable in any circumstance, framing, and lighting so having strong well defined shapes are a must!

2. After you are satisfied with your silhouette work within that general shape and add to their personality.

-play with the expression of the eyes
-move, add, take away features

Comic Draw: Starting with Stick Figures

Budding, aspiring and even established artists struggle with confidence in their skills. Starting with stick figures helps you develop drawing skills. They are fun, simple and a great way to capture action in your characters.

Being good and fast at drawing stick figures is a skill that is well worth the effort and is an indispensable tool in the cartoonist's tool kit.

In this video I go over techniques to build strong skeletons and put them to good use. Enjoy!

HOW TO BUILD A SKELETON

1. Draw the Spine to capture general movement.
2. Add ovals for the Head-Torso-Pelvis.
3. Add Lines for Shoulders & attach Arms and Legs.

Stick to stick figures until you can stick them anywhere, anyway you want
