Faces Day 2

Got a really late start due to a need for a nap, and then watching a follow-up vid to the one I mentioned yesterday (also an hour long - but done over a drawing, so could be minimized and just listened to), so I failed today's homework... 12:30 on a work night and I'm only 4 heads in. At least it's more mileage than if I just went back to bed instead, eh?

The first one started to come out kind of feminine - which I've never been able to do from imagination very well... In fact, I can count on 1 finger, how many projects I've ever done with a female from imagination that I didn't scrap after 2 minutes (that one way back in high school with the giant robot thing with the little girl holding a teddy bear). So, I decided to push this new learning style towards helping with working out how to draw girl faces.

Looking back at the past couple hours of work, I realize that I should have probably broken the steps down a bit more. Instead of getting so far with each, start by doing a bunch of just face shapes to figure out what makes a face look girly - I know from reading up that it's more rounded features and a smaller jawline... but I never worked out analytically how to make that work out. Hair... holy hell... that one will need it's own breakdown too. Maybe even after a lot of reference study - I realized that I have no idea how to construct long hair from imagination.

Also, I kind of like this style for eyes that I'm working on. My papers at work might get a little more doodly (doodleie... doodlie... dudely... is that even a word?).
