Description A jumble of heads and facial features, for the curious. Realism is not my style. There was a point where I had to find a "middle ground" between Western and Asian drawing styles, because the people who I informally taught drawing to wanted to learn it. They've gone and developed on their own, which makes me happy.

In any case, I'd also be very happy if this bunch of sketches continues to benefit anyone. Copying the faces and stuff is allowed.

this is great!! you're a great inspiration for how I should draw humans...well!

I really love how you draw, its not over-detailed, but still totally realistic. my prob is often that I try to learn everything in one day <.< and want to be able to draw like you, or any other DA artist by once looking at him/her >.<

I know, its stupid. but still, you ref sheets are SO helpful

I always have issues with drawing head angles. This really helped. I was wondering, do you use guidlines with some stuff? There are so many people I know who don't use them and it makes me feel insuperior.

See that's where my drawing style sort of falls into as well. Somewhere between Asian and Western.

I have trouble drawing the head at different angles and such; especially the eyes. That always gets me. It's like, how do I make my characters eyes look symmetrical at different angles? Dx

So this is very, very helpful for me. Thanks so much!

And I love your drawing style. So easy to follow.
