Thank you so much for letting me adapt some of your beautiful writing! This one also goes out to the sweet L and Light fictives who messaged me before! Many happy returns to you both!
Bonus drawing that I cut because it didnβt fit the tone:
Oh masterful one, I am but a mere anon who is curious about how thE FUDGE TO YOU DRAW YOUR ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FACIAL FEATURES???
LOLOL βMASTERFUL ONEβ ya give me too much credit my guyΒ π
Thereβs a lot to cover on this topic but hopefully this helps you get started! And of course, study that head/face anatomy & use reference on top of these tips!
Pro-tip, keep a mirror by your desk while you work. It doubles as drawing reference AND a way a watch your back for when your brother comes in tryinβa nerf gun you.
βYour family didnβt deserve you.β
L usually wasnβt one to feel touched emotionally by many things. He never cried over movies, nor other forms of media. However, when Light pulled him into his arms and held him, whispering those soft words, something inside of him broke. He dropped the glass in favor of clutching the manβs shirt in his hands, hiding his face in his neck as he began to shake.
Within seconds he was crying, clinging to Light like a lifeline. He wasnβt unhappy, far from it, in fact. Something about Lightβs words, the way they stated his definite worth as a fact, his worth to him as a fact, cut L to his core. He wrapped his arms around the other, grabbing at the back of his shirt as if trying to press even closer, hug him even tighter.Β
βThank you.β
A scene from the fantastic ficΒ βCatch Perfectβ byΒ @kiranatrix and @resilicns! Reading about these boys slowly building up trust hurts my heart so good :βD Amazing work again you guys!!

And weβre back after an art block! I really really enjoyed doing the character acting for this dialogue. Itβs such a tender moment in the original writing, and I hope I was able to capture the spirit of it here. The flashbacks are from an earlier part of the fic, where the two of them go through Lβs old art!
Bonus close up on Lβs paintings because I likeΒ βem despite how sloppy they are lol
Also the comic tag link takes you to the posts in chronological order now!
First of all your blog reeks of positivity and happiness and I am living for it. secondly if it's not too much to ask, may I request something (literally anything) with Sayu and Light? I have a craving for Yagami siblings being wholesome.
This oneβs from personal experience.
And "reeks of positivity and happinessβ is one of the BEST descriptions of my stuff that Iβve ever read, thank you!!
what if AU where death note is just an in-universe work of fiction and all of them are just actors. i call this my coping AU LOL
I LOVE this AU!!
A friend of mine just sent me some of your art tips and I loved them! Since I was a kid I could draw, but it was always a straight up copy of already finished drawings simply for the pure joy of drawing, but now I wanna draw on my own and I'm finding it very difficult! I'm still trying to figure out an artstyle, and I practice things alone (lips, eyes, nose) and they seem to be okay, but when I try to put them together on a face, it doesn't work, like the eyes is not the previous eyes I've been practicing and such. Do I need to practice the face as a whole? Am I doing something wrong?
Awesome, Iβm so glad you like βem! Ah shit, look what youβve done, youβve made me practice anatomy (jkjk this is affectionate!)
In answer, yes absolutely you gotta practice the face as a whole! Donβt worry, most people start from just practicing individual facial features on their own! Itβs super easy to tunnel vision! Those studies will also help you going forward, so itβs not time wasted!
A general disclaimer before I keep going: I went to school for animation and never took a proper anatomy class, so these are all tips and tricks Iβve either picked up along the way or figured out on my own. Take them with a grain of salt!
Ok first I think everyoneβs seen a diagram of how to measure where facial features sit on the face so Iβll just copy/paste an image to get that out of the way. ***one thing to keep in mind is how the face is divided into thirds:
**** Important Note: Spend some time studying the skull too! For simplicityβs sake, here are some basic landmark parts of the structure you should be aware of:
Next, thereβs three methods of drawing the head that I frankenstein together:
1)Β The Loomis Method is I think the easiest to start playing with head/face perspective drawings. Using the above method of dividing the head into thirds, we can put that on this super simple head model and rotate it in 3D.
Hereβs a great video by Stan Prokopenko that goes into more depth on the method!:Β https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOldLWIDSM
2) For musculature, I like referencing the Reilly MethodΒ because the round shapes it uses help me understand how different parts squish into each other.
3) For painting/rendering ref, I really like using the Asaro HeadΒ because it really helps as reference on how lighting breaks up the planes of the face. (Iβm still a ways away from publicly posting most paintings Iβve done tho) No demo for this one because painting takes me 84 yrs
EDIT: This isnβt my painting btw
*** One crucial thing Iβd want to point out is that you should also practice drawing heads without painstakingly following measurements and guidelines. 1) everyoneβs head/face are different and will have different proportions and 2) you want to get used to drawing without limiting yourself to one method as a crutch! These are all just tools to help you on your journey!
4) As far as simplifying the face goes, the pretty common way Iβve seen/used is to divide the head into two sections: the eyes and brow area, then the area below the cheekbones. This is where the bean face that everyone was mad about in 2015 comes from lololol (weβve moved on from bean-hate, right? pls?)
One last note:Β Most of what Iβve posted on my blog has faces with floaty features, so donβt reference my stuff for your own good LMAO
Hope this helps!
