girls girls girls

so im trying to get better at drawing girls. for whatever reason, i never learned (or never taught myself) this incredible power. ive always liked J. Scott Campbell's girls, and it seems like there is some formula that i just dont know.

anyway, last week i sketched a girls face. then i took it into photoshop because she was ugly. really, i dont even want to put up the original sketch because im embarrassed. for whatever reason, i can tolerate a drawing of an ugly man...but not a woman. at least not yet.

so here is my girl's face after about an hour in photoshop. my major issues seem to be with proportions. i tend to exaggerate the features on human faces, but this does NOT work well for girls. so here i have adjusted the size and location of the nose, mouth, and eyes. im not saying this is perfect, but i feel like its a decent start.

enjoy

  1. For female faces I try to think Doe eyes, big eyelashes and one side being unsymmetrical with the other. Good luck! this looks good
