Okay... No one really requested this but our Japanimation club wanted to learn a few things about drawing and this is what I came up with. If anyone wants to have any "How to Draw" stuff by me, just say so. I have another one that's gonna go up about hands soon.

I'll have to get in quarter faces and profiles later on in the year.

I can tell I didn't keep to linear with the face at the top but I'm no master at duplicating to the key. ^_^

What it says in case you can't read my handwriting or if it is too small to see.

"FACES

Straight-in Front
*Personally I start w/ the eyes*
*then the nose which sets the face to be long or short...*
*Then the mouth*
*Finally the outline face*

MEASUREMENTS (Usually)
Cut the head in 1/2 and then in 1/4s
FACE=3/4 the head
Realistic: Eyes happen 1/2 down the head (Weird huh?)
*Anime/Manga can make eyes anywher on the half way mark
Realistic:Noses are 3/4 down the head
Realistic: Mouth are 7/8 down the head (or half way of 3/4 to 4/4)

All measurements depend on how tall the character is, too.
-What they look like etc.
-Most importantly how you want them

Shape varies/changes"

Now... All these measurements don't have to be true for you. I go off of what I learned in my Intr Art class in High School. If you have any opinions and tips I'm open for adaptations. I tried to give some fun examples on the bottom and then a full blown one so that you can see up close what I mean by measurements. And yes... I drew a bald Sanzo. But only Lirin knows what's under all that golden hair. ^_^ And maybe Goku too. >_< If anyone knows Mystical Ninja there's Gohman for you. ^_^

Additional note: Hair takes up the upper 1/4 of the head.. Insane huh...?
