Good evening to you, today I will not post a tutorial on how to draw but rather I will give a little tip that happens to be really important for anything that you might want to draw.
Say you want to draw Sponge Bob, everybody knows how Sponge Bob looks and can easily be drawn by memory. but it is not the case all the time because most of the time a little research is needed. If you read manga you know that the authors two must do some research for certain objects that they might want to draw.
This time I had to draw headdresses that the women of France wore in the 18th century. but because I only know so much about the 18th century in France I had to do some research of my own. For this kind of thing one must not do a simple google search and just draw the first images on the screen.
Although I must admit that my research could have been a little more extended, I can say that I had fun looking at old books from the library.
If you're a person that loves the smell of old books this is the kind of research you'll love.
With patience and perseverance narrow it down to what you'll need most. Right now proudly I most say this is what I've come up with and although it took me a whole lot of time, it was not a waste.
Once I color it I'll post it here. Follow me here and for more drawing tutorials among other things come back for more next week. It'll feature a friend of mine's work.
And don't forget it doesn't matter if you don't know how to draw keep practicing and you will always draw like a boss.

Draw a Face: Step-by-Step (Anime Style)
In this post I'll show step by step how to draw the face of a girl in her early teens anime style.
- -Bread eraser (it is really soft but when it comes to erasing it is just the best)+
- -Regular white eraser
- 1. Draw a circle
-
2. Draw lines
- 3. Draw jaw line and top of head
-
- 4. Draw three circles to measure distance between each eye
-
- 5. Draw ears and brows
-
- 6. Trace hairline
- 7. With pen 0.3 trace eyebrows, jawline, nose, lips, and ears.
-
- 8. Draw details in the eyes
-
- 9. With pen 0.3 retrace details on eye adding light reflections
-
- 10. With pencil draw hair (I decided to add a ribbon on her head as a detail)
-
- 11. Retrace added details with pen 0.3
-
- 12. Erase all lines with the bread and regular erasers
-
- Final step (I know, finally.) Draw the neck line and shoulders, and always retrace with pen 0.3 although I must add that if you do it with pen 0.4 there won't be much of a difference.
-
- If you want to see the rest of this tutorial drop by again next week. In which the detail in the eyes will be added and inked in. Until then see you next time. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you learned something.
