Description
Studying anime style head & facial proportions..Took refs. from Nsio on his tutorials:
He explained pretty much details on how to draw semi-realistic & stylized head proportions. So if u want to know the detailed explanations u should check his gallery. He has really good tutorials on how to draw anatomies.
I just wanna repeat a simple important notes regarding the tutorial:
The possible way to draw the head parts is to use an eye as an unit and locate the facial features according to it. It said that the important thing is follow 3 simple rules: the ears are on the eye level. The nose is on the same level with earlobe. The space between eyes is one eye wide. But it really depends on each person's (artist) judgement about right & wrong. As for me this is good for making a good foundation on how to draw the head proportions. As u can see the red lines is the most important guideline but it may slightly different from his tutorial (the eyes and ears part).
Drawing the head in different perspective is quite challenging and takes a lots of effort i agreed with him. I could spend days just for drawing on the perspective
But again practice makes perfect.Gud luck & have fun drawing

Good study, and thanks for the shout-out
There are few points I would like to mention here.
1)The front and side view at the top:
This could be partly personal opinion, but I find that the head is vertically a bit too tall. Also, the eyes aren't on level with the ears (the horizontal red line isn't on the same level with the ear. This is a basic rule that is often times good to follow). I suggest using lasso tool to make selection so that you have the eyes and the upper-half of the head without ears selected on both front and side view, and then moving them lower so that the horizontal red line is almost on the same level with the top of the ear. Even if you were satisfied with how it looks currently, I suggest that you try this to see the difference. At least the look on the side view change stunningly when I tried this. Maybe you come to like it the other way more as well
2)Middle row, the left one with view from behind:
Maybe you already have noticed this, but you have drawn the ear as if it was seen from the side. I have had this very same issue for ages and I have managed to get over it just recently. Next time you read manga, I suggest that you pay attention how great manga artists draw the ear from this angle and apply their ways on your drawings.
3)The shape of the head isn't uniform in different views:
You might consider this nitpicking, but I think this one is one of the most crucial things to take note on. This is a common issue and I believe it's one reason why many aspiring artists fail to improve in long run. The ability to see the 3D shapes and drawing them uniformly in various angles is valuable asset to have. Analyse your drawings carefully and see how wonky they shape of the head is at times. Not only the shape, but the guidelines on top of the shape as well (for example: the one in the middle looks like the head is more boxy than spherical in shape). When you gain the understanding to see these errors and fix them, you will be able to apply this understanding on anything. You will start to perceive things in whole different way. That path leads to great things, I assure you

Nice study! I notice that when it comes to the face there are so many little variances in anime that a lot of studies become arguable to some degree. But I think this is a pretty good layout!
