Description I am by no means an expert on the Jamie Hewlett art style, but I got asked many times on Instagram to how to mimic the style and anatomy of Gorillaz characters so I thought I'd give it a go! Unfortunately the file is rather big, so I suggest downloading it to be able to read everything I wrote.
Take into consideration that this tutorial more go through details of the iconic Gorillaz style rather than actual anatomy, so don't take this to heart if you're looking to create something actually realistic!Β 

I had so much fun creating this tutorial that I really wanna do more, is there anything you'd like for me to see talk about? Leave a comment down below and let me know!

I think the most prominent feature is always the "jaw before nose" part, which in your tutorial here is not as prominent as in the actual art style.

It gives them this distinct "monkey" vibe/face which is kind of important? At least to me it's what makes this style. (And it's very consistent through all phases)

You did a very mild take on that for the side view of 2-D. It ticks me off and I don't like that about this "tutorial". It's otherwise well written.

makes me realize how similar my art style is to theirs lol
i tend to draw bigger than normal hands and feet (im trying to size them down though)
maybe their eyes could help me with developing my style of eyes?

Why not! We all borrow a little bit from every style that we dig to create our own. No fault in that~
