As far as I can tell, I have trouble making the head look “female”… and I have doubts about eye shape too.
I’m aiming at “semi-realistic” look, something part-way between realism and “realistic” anime drawing.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Can’t exactly figure out why the face isn’t very feminine, or what’s the wrong with eyes (eyelids, to be more specific).
P.S. Oh, and back of the head is a bit to small… but I’m more interested in making the face more female-looking at the moment.
I think it looks quite “female”. If you try to push the nose and lower face a little more up and back then it is more in shape of anime stuff i think. Besides that the nose and mouth is too much shaped to realism in my opinion… more the mouth. The cheeks are too much. I think you don`t have them that much in anime. The eyes are good I think. The eyebrows have too much expression in my opinion. They should be more relaxed and a bit more smooth. The chin part to the ears are a bit too sharp in my opinion. And the ear should be placed more forward and smaller for a female charakter.
It is just what i would try to do to get it more to anime style.
Hi. Thanks for the response. I’m looking for a “more realistic style”, along the lines of what you could see in Ghost in the Shell or maybe similar to what can be seen in final fantasy games (think Lightning Returns). The ultimate goal is produce sorta cell-shaded graphics but right now I’m trying to get hang of the anatomy.
For example, something along those lines is what I’d like to ultimately get:
then i think you should realy try to create toon shader for several parts of the charackter and or maybe use the freestyle option to create it.
But to get this look you are showing… I dont know. I know it is possible :) Lets wait for other replies. Have some experience with that but not that much to give you a good answere.
^^Something along those lines should do the trick.
It looks like the main problem is that I got distracted with all the amazing possibilities of making realistic face or something. Sigh.
Either way if there’s something horribly wrong with the face I posted, I’d appreciate if someone points it out. Anatomy has been giving me hard time and I have real difficulty making face look cuter or more attractive. Haven’t quite gotten hang of it yet.
If you want some “semi-realistic” look, you should know the realistic as much as you can, then is a matter of doing the eyes a little bigger, and the shape of the face a little different, and there you have it. but if you can’t do realistic, semi-realistic is not going to look all that good.
Results wer not good. mostly because manga drawings ignore perspective, and an attempting to turn front/side drawings into a 3d model usually result into some sort of alien creature.
Good start. As for the original sculpt, to push it more female I’d make these changes.
Broader cheeks, cheekbone
2)narrower eyes, eye shape is off
broader center of nose
lip shape off.
The difference between male and female faces is extremely subtle, women have stronger cheekbones, men a prominent brow. Brittany spears proved that when she shaved her head. But never underestimate the amount of impact hair styles, make-up, jewelry etc… can have.
