In this tutorial you'll learn how to draw the female head from the top down perspective in the three quarter view.
Drawing faces in these points of view is extremely difficult because of the foreshortening that takes place as the head is rotated and presented from a more dynamic perspective.
All the proportions we’ve learned in the eye level front, side, and three quarter views of the female head to help us place the facial features become skewed. Their proportional relationships in terms of scale and placement are all adjusted to convey the depth and dimensions of the head as it protrudes and recedes in the upward and downward, three quarter representations of the head.
Not only that, but the shape of the head’s structure and the facial features themselves are also affected, causing us additional confusion as to how the eyes, nose, mouth and ears should be drawn from one view point to the next. This ultimately means that there’s no one way to draw the features, and that in reality they have an endless amount of variations that each correlate with whatever angle the head is being drawn on.
As mentioned previously, the structure of the head and its shape also becomes skewed when looking at the head on a top down or bottom up, three quarter angle. This is most noticeable around the jaw line and brow, but also applies to the entire face as a whole in more subtle ways.
So how do we get around this predicament? How can we confidently draw the female face from a multitude of dynamic angles with confidence?
The solution is to begin understanding the human head, along with its facial features in a more three dimensional context; to understand it as having depth and form. By converting the structure of the face and the facial features into three dimensional geometry we’re better able to comprehend how it might look when turning it in space, ultimately allowing us to create a more convincing representation of the head as we draw it in these points of view.
In this lesson I’ll show you the basic building blocks used to construct a foundational base for the female head in the upward and downward, three quarter perspectives. We’ll then use this simple structure to plot out the placement of the facial features and shape of the face, while keeping in mind how these elements will be affected by the foreshortening which will occur when looking at the head in these perspectives.
Then we’ll draw in the facial features, refine the shape of the face, and block out a hair style for each of the female head examples covered in the demonstration. You’ll learn how to refine the draft and polish up the line work through the use of line weights, as well as how to describe form, texture and value through the use of crosshatch rendering techniques.
I hope you get loads of value out of this lesson, thanks for watching, and good luck!

Impressive talent! Do the classes go into detail for placement of the eyes and nose on the face and how the shapes line up with certain parts of the face, etc? You so quickly here.
I love your art style, it reminds me a lot of Ed Benes. You Definitely earned a sub!
Greetings from Fellow UA-camr! Just stumbled on your work and just love it! Always wanted to create my comics when I was a kid (have tried in notebooks several times) but painting was never my strongest side as a crafter (I am more towards sculpting) but love to see others working on it! Keep it up!
Thanking for stopping by man, I appreciate the kind words. Just checked out your channel too - Your sculptures are super cool!

You’ve got a very Michael turner mixed with Greg capullo style. I dig it.
Both Michael and Greg have been a huge influence in the development of my style, among many others. Glad you're able to spot them out. I love the aesthetic they both bring to their art, so I'm glad a little bit of that shines through in my own. Thanks for watching.

Hey Clayton!
Question: how do you usually go about drawing mask? The kind that characters like Robin, Black Cat and Harley Quinn wear? I normally end up with a really odd looking face that seems to be wearing an excessive amount of eye shadow with these masks.
That's a really good question. I don't usually apply any eye shadow. Sometimes I'll draw in the eyes as I normally would and simply draw the eye holes of the mask around them. Other times I'll just leave the eyes white, as you'd see in Batman's mask or the Phantoms. Hope that helps answer your question - I should probably do a video on this topic!

@@howtodrawcomicsnet Thanks for the tip!
genius!
Thanks man, you're too kind!

can you please do a tutorial on looking straight at a males head at a 3/4 angle?
Yeah for sure. At some point I'll do that. Going to wrap up these lady heads first though.
-Clayton
Can you please make video for beginners...Plz.....
Sure thing. I'll no doubt have one coming up in the future.

For me it is Easyer on paper don't on computer
OKAY, I'll be real I'll be honest I need to see the brush settings I can not get a pencil to look that natural.
Hey man, honestly, the brush settings I'm using are the default settings of the Darker Pencil in Manga Studio. Part of it is practice of course, but the two key things to pay attention to when it comes to getting your lines to look the way you want is the amount of pressure you apply as you draw and the size of your brush. That's it. Calibrate the two through trial and error and you'll eventually get the same aesthetic in your lines. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

This wasn't very helpful. Once you moved on to the lips, I was completely lost and ended up with a feminine man instead of a woman.
