- In this comic art tutorial, you’ll learn how to draw the front of the female face.
If you find this tutorial useful, you might get some value out of the full lesson where I also show you how to draw the three quarter view, and profile view of the female head. Watch it on Skillshare now by clicking this link: skl.sh/2Y0cF8y
As for this demonstration, we’ll begin by establishing the foundations for the head, defining its size, placement and proportions. The foundations are the greatest determiner of your drawing’s success! Without a solid foundation to work off of, it’s impossible to plan out the drawing with a clear sense of the direction you’d like to take it in.
Foundations are especially important when drawing the head since placing the facial features correctly is absolutely necessary to avoid it looking disproportionate. Sizing it up and figuring out the angle or view at which it’ll be presented is also determined in the foundational phase of the drawing.
From there we'll begin sketching in the facial features and outlining the shape of the jaw. The way we depict the eyes, nose, mouth and shape of the character's head will greatly impact its feminine appearance. Women tend to have softer looking faces with subtler forms. The corners of the jaw line are less sharp. Their eyes are usually emboldened by thick eye lashes that draw attention, while the lips are full and voluptuous.
These are the key physical factors that’ll enhance the femininity of the character. Without their implementation, there’s a good chance the women you’re attempting to draw will begin to appear more masculine. This is absolutely fine, as some women do have very masculine features. I like to think of these masculine and feminine attributes like a dial that can be turned in one direction or the other.
It all ultimately comes down to you, and whether or not you’re trying to capture a character that looks feminine or masculine. So feel free to experiment with these dials to see how they affect the appearance of your character.
Although thick eyeliner, luscious lips and a soft complexion tend to be the idealized traits of a stylized feminine face, it's really the hair that sets them apart. Because of its organic nature, we want to make the hair of a woman look alive. It should have a majestic appeal to it that dynamically flows into the shape of the characters hair style.
The best way to approach this is to block out the overall shape and mass of the hair first, capturing its form and primary flow of movement. From there it's easy to break up into smaller clumps, and add in rendering to imply the textural qualities of the individual strands that it consists of.
I hope you enjoy this lesson. Thanks so much for watching and if you enjoyed this video, pass it along to your comic art friends. Women’s faces can be very difficult to draw due to their subtleties. We’ve all struggled to draw appealing, beautiful looking ladies at one point or another, and some of us still are. So if you can think of anyone who will benefit from this tutorial, share it with them! They will appreciate it, and so will I.
Keep on creating, and keep on practicing!

looks just like a mike turner drawing, you are very talented
i didnt learn much from this. i basically just watched you draw this woman n u go on about this and that. i wanted to know how to find the right proportions, advice or tips and pointers on how to draw the eyes, or mouth that uu pointed out were so important. you told us why they were important but not how to draw them. we just watched u draw them and not learn how u drew them that why, and why, and the shapes for that angle. just bare this in mind for future reference. that aside.... amazing artwork. cannot deny that. really good. that it the only reason i sat till the end.
Go to Proko's head tutorial
I find it a phenomenon that one can look at a finished product, and when replicating static lines it comes out differently. It's like shooting at a motionless target but with the results of shooting at a moving one.
Thank you, this was very helpful and I loved the drawing! Excellent work!
Love your art
Nice video , the way you draw hair is phenomenal!
Thanks Mike. Glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate the kind words!

Oh my frikin god what an awesome style!!!
i like your art style it's really good.
I really like how u draw ur eyes I started to draw them like that aswell
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
Wow great vid and drawing! You should do one dealing with psychological issues that hinder artists and probably yourself when it particularly comes to drawing ...such as presuring yourself to have a good drawing which stiffens the outcome of your art for example ( I deal with that sadly).
Thank you sir.
Love your style.. reminds me of Mike Tanner witch blade.
Thanks! Michael Turner was and still is one of my greatest influences.

Wish this was more zoomed in. Hard to see the details but very helpful voiceover
😎👍💪Very helpful
Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
-Clayton
Great tutorial! May I ask what stylus, writing pad and computer you use?
Very well done! Stunning details but I must say: I do not have any problem with more defined feminine (!) muscles. Just give it a try and look how good it fits in! 💪🏽
Amazing! Looks like a Loomis Method, but easily broken down!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

u deserve more subs.
Thanks!

Love your style. Which manga studio's pencil are you using?
I'm using the Darker Pencil brush.
-Clayton
this is a great tutorial...its just a shame I can't see the beginning of it because of your screen brightness.
Thanks. Yeah, sorry about that. It's not that my screen is bright, it's because in the initial stages of the drawing I work extremely light. I use very faint lines to lay in the foundations which I go over the top of later in the refinement stage.

Are you using Stylus pen on tablet/ipad. if yes. what stylus pen you were using . thanks.
I like your front-facing female heads a lot but I have a problem with the side views. Front the front, they look seriously gorgeous but from the side they look almost goofy or cartoonish.
Clayton are you still going to release the head course?
Possibly. After this tutorial, I really started thinking about revisiting the female heads course. It might be my project for this month - but stay tuned for more updates and I'll let you know.

Name of the program?
after one sketch my drawings improved lol, still not your level by farrrrrr, but love the vid
God i love your art style. It looks so good and sexy. Keep it up clay
Good stuff but please for the love of god use night mode or something
I was hoping for a more detailed video on this, its one of my biggest struggles. :(
so was i. same.
Learned absolutely nothing, could barely see what you're drawing. Thank goodness you're not the only comic book artist on youtube.
try adjusting the contrast on your monitor
Any information about the structure of the female head? No... You just drew it withouth much thought and explanation. I'm very familiar with the loomis head but I kinda strugle to draw female heads that look feminine, they usually end up looking like some dude with long hair...
I'mma keep it a buck with you. You're really good at drawing but all your videos do is piss me off. They're too fast to follow along with. What's the point of a drawing tutorial if you're just gonna put it in a time lapse
