Head Practice (Full Body) #XPPenTutorialPractice
#XPPenTutorialPractice I've already done full-body drawings, focusing more on the character's head design—which is what defines them the most—but after watching the XP Pen video on the website, I took the time to explore further and try to create more dynamic perspective, as well as experiment with different facial shapes—whether more curved or more pointed.I took my time designing my OC with this idea in mind (since I had a little extra time, I decided to design their body and outfit as well). Honestly, I really need to get better at drawing hands because sometimes they come out really distorted... If you look at my work, I try to hide the hands or not make a big deal out of them, but it ends up driving me crazy, and I'm amazed by people who can draw fingernails (my respect to those artists).(Base) Use a basic model—something you’ve already learned to draw following the previous community tutorial. In fact, I find this type of outline with stick figures works best for me; then I add shapes to the limbs to define the outline or determine how much space each limb takes up. That way, I don’t have to spend time drawing the body and then the clothes—instead, I can move right on to drawing the clothes the character will be wearing once I already know the body’s outline.(Process Work) Examples from Pinterest.I often turn to Pinterest to look for poses or designs for a character—like costumes or other details. In this case, I’ve always liked the traditional tutorials in the Japanese or Asian language sections, since they have more steps to follow and aren’t too complicated for me; plus, they catch my eye. That’s what’s helped me the most in learning how to draw a character, but I still can’t bring it to life with as much dynamism as others do.

head drawing #XPPenTutorialPractice
For drawing the head, I use the Loomis method with some personal changes.I start by drawing a circle, then I add another one to divide the side of the face (red) — think of it like splitting a cheese with a knife.After that, I work on the eyes and the other facial features. One thing I like to do is draw the glabella (green) to help guide the placement of the facial features. I find it really useful!

#XPPenTutorialPractice Drawing Girl and Boy Heads Using Simple Circles and Triangles – Digital Art
I am new at digital art. I followed the XP-Pen tutorial and used their idea of building the head and jaw with circles and triangles for these two original characters. I also adjusted the position of the triangles to make the female and male characters look different. This technique really helped me with the male character, as I’m not usually used to drawing male characters. It’s a beginner’s attempt, but I really enjoyed trying something new. Thanks for the tips! Now my boy characters are going to look so much better! Software: Adobe Fresco

drawing heads #XPPenTutorialPractice
I think the tutorial was pretty helpful in my case? The cheek and jaw area is something I struggle with, so the circle and triangle method has been helping me wrangle that a bit.

What's the most annoying problem you've faced while drawing digitally?
Every digital artist has that ONE problem that makes them so furious that you need to take a brake for a while from the art work 😂For me, one of the biggest problems is drawing without a proper stylus. I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ without pressure sensitivity or proper palm rejection, and it can make drawing pretty frustrating. And the use of third party silicon stylus so many times didn't even considered as touchBut I'm curious about everyone else:What's the most annoying problem you've faced while drawing digitally?It could be anything — driver issues, pen lag, pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, hand fatigue, broken nibs, software problems, or something completely different.Tell me your problem and, if possible, how you solved it!Maybe we can help each other avoid some of these problems. 👇

Practice drawing heads #XPPenTutorialPractice
The video tutorial was a good reminder of one of the options for drawing heads.I noticed that if you learn to draw wrinkles in older people and understand their origins, you'll be able to better convey emotions on any face. This knowledge helps me draw meme faces 😁

Head Practice
The "How to Draw Head" tutorial was simple and well put together. I learned that all it takes is just a circle and triangle as the base and placement to draw different genders and also a child, a teenager and adult. For this exercise I will be using my female oc, Kylie and male oc, Pierre. The goal was to draw them from different head views and also as a child and teenager based on the tutorial. I have also included an additional step that I learned from watching a past tutorial on how to make characters look consistent. I'll start with drawing Pierre as an adult from 3 angles and also as a child and a teenager.First I draw the guidelines for the front view, side profile and 3/4 view which, for me, is the hardest one of the 3. Then I map out where each feature on their face goes. This is what I learned from a past tutorial. In order to have a character looking the same each time from different angles, you use the layout of the features from the front view as a guideline for other angles. This means the hairline to eyebrow would be the same place, the distance from the eyebrow to the bottom of the nose, the eyes are positioned at the same place. My marks go at the hairline, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, chin and ears. That way whenever I draw him, you can always see the connection each time. If the face is tilted or at a more complex angle then the proportions would be slightly off but if the features are the same each time you draw a character then anyone could tell who you're drawing. Ps. If you change positions of a feature on the face in a specific view, to make it more consistent, you should adjust said feature in all views. Example, instead of drawing the ears on a character higher in the side profile alone, do the same with the character from a front facing angle and a 3/4 view.After that, I add his features in along with the hair.Then I do a clean up sketch Now let's move on to his younger self, going from outlineTo adding the featuresThen a clean up sketch Now it's time to draw KylieAnd here's her younger selfI had a lot of fun doing this exercise and it was even better seeing my characters as children they're so cute ( ^∀^)#XPPenTutorialPractice

Exploring Character Variations with the Circle-and-Triangle Method
One key technique that really helped me improve when drawing head bases is varying the proportion and width of the jaw relative to the eye shape. By combining the circle-and-triangle method, adjusting the sharpness of the chin and opening up the eye proportions instantly changes the character's age, mood, and implied archetype without needing complex guidelines.Sharper, narrower chins work great for mature or sleek characters, while wider, rounded jawlines paired with larger eyes immediately give a younger, softer look. l applied this method to six different head to test the variations in eye shape, lash density, and face width base:Top Left: Sharp, cat-like eye wings with a slender chin profile for more mature look without making it masculine.Top Right: Narrower, horizontal eyes paired with a longer and a bit squared jaw for a masculine look.Middle Left and Right: Soft, rounded eyes with pronounced top lashes and a mid-length jaw line.Bottom Left: Wide irises, and soft round features tailored for younger characters. Bottom Right: Balanced, wide set eyes with thin lash lines for a neutral base.That's all, Thank you!!#XPPenTutorialPractice
