Tips for Drawing Faces
Published:By
31 Comments
20K ViewsMy face tutorial with little-known tips on blending, emotion, perspective, and some color tricks. I'm sharing them in hopes that more beautiful art will be created : ))
I'm not teaching how to use circles/lines/geometry to proportion faces - there are enough resources for that out there.
Some are:

Your tips are useful, also thanks for the links of other artists.

I forgot to breathe when you mention the "water mixing tool." Now that I have gained back the basic respiration capability, I thank you for this. My paintings take too long for a simple detail, and now you have helped me pick up the pace.

LOL glad to help ; )
Wow..I didn't know what the "water mixer tool" was on photoshop, so I searched for that.Turns out it's very useful.Thanks you so much 
I am so glad you're making tutorials. Out of all the artists I know of, you probably have the best understanding of light and color. Your works are truly inspiring and your tutorials really helpful! Thanks~
I cant believe you're only 17. You're already so good, i can't wait to see your art in 10 years or so. Lovely tutorial, i thought it was very helpful!
Can you show us how to get that beautiful texture in your digital art?
Hmm it's mostly in the brushes. I might talk about it someday : )
Ok, thanks for telling me, and I hope you do talk about it someday love your work!
love your work!
Excellent comrade, definitely I should give a try...
hahah i love this
A nice tutorial.
About blending in Photoshop:
I recommend the Mixer Brush Tool (can be found where the brush and pencil tool are, icon is a paintbrush with a droplet next to it). That tool does wonders.
Just pick one of these wide chalk-brushes set the brush to scattering (Count 1 or 2, scatter at 30~70% <- experiment witht that) and have fun.
I'd pick that over the SAI-Watertool anyday.

Very true - forgot about Mixer Brush in this tutorial but also one of my go-to tools!
everything is a bitch to blend in tbh doesnt matter what art program, just... terrible
actually manga studio 5 is pretty good for blending, the blending tool does it job, and most the time it it wont lag and theres also watercolour bushes and indian inks which give a nice texture to your painting
SORRY LATE REPLY// yes i have to agree there but for me manga sudio is a bit too complicated for me to use
You could probably get used to it, but have fun with whatever you use
I love your art but sadly I drew up as a not-so-colorful artist >_>'
