SC S24W5: Anime

I've begun sketching a character for animation. I started by sketching a circle to represent its head. Then in order to assist me position its mouth nose and eyes in the proper locations I divided the circle in half. It is easy to design the face correctly after this phase. I'm going to keep adding details like hair ears and facial emotions. The illustration will gradually come to life. It's entertaining and gives me the impression that I'm making my own mini comic at home.

I drew the animated character's neck and chin in the second step of my drawing. I added the neck descending from both sides after carefully drawing the chin beneath the circle to give the face the right contour. To make it appear tidy and natural I made an effort to keep the lines smooth. This action gave the face a more finished appearance. It's beginning to resemble a cartoon now. As it gradually takes shape I'm proud of myself and really loving this process.

I drew my animated character's lips ears and eyes in stage three. To ensure that both eyes appear the same and are in the proper location I positioned them on the lines I had previously drawn inside the circle. To add some expressiveness to the face I then put the eyebrows directly over the eyes. To make it appear amiable I created a basic smiling mouth and ears on either side of the head. The face now appears more animated and adorable as a cartoon should.

In step four I eliminated all of the extra lines I had utilized for assistance in order to tidy up my drawing. I carefully rubbed away the unnecessary lines such as the circle's center line and other crude drawing markings with an eraser. The face appears clear and tidy now. This stage gave my cartoon character a more polished and appropriate appearance. I'm happy to see that my sketching is improving and I can't wait to add additional details like hair.

The last stage was to create my animated character's hair and tint it to make it appear good. I meticulously sketched the hair on the head experimenting with many styles until I discovered one that I liked. To make it appear more realistic and lovely I then shaded the hair and a few facial features with my pencil. I'm thrilled to see my labor of love translate into a beautiful cartoon face now that my artwork is finished.

I began a new cartoon drawing this time but I approached it differently. Before I did anything else I made the hair.

I painstakingly sketched a lovely hairstyle over the skull region. I drew the facial contour after creating the hair making sure it would fit nicely behind the hair.

I spent my time drawing the lines because I wanted the face to appear balanced and tidy. Trying a new style and beginning the drawing in a different order was enjoyable.

I sketched the face's eyes and nose in stage three. I created a tiny adorable nose in the center and positioned the eyes appropriately. To make sure both eyes looked the same I double-checked everything.

I began shading the drawing in step four. To give it a genuine cartoon vibe I lightly colored the face and added some shading to the hair. I had fun creating this one as well and it's incredible to watch how different processes alter the appearance.
