Want to Draw Cartoon Faces Consistently?
Wondering how to draw cartoon faces consistently? Because you’ve created a little character you absolutely LOVE. It’s cute, quirky and full of life. The details seem to work like a charm. It’s perfect for illustrating whatever you need.
There’s just one problem…
Every time you draw it, it looks slightly different. It’s like that mortgage loan contract you had to sign and initial in a gazillion places — and no two of your signatures matched.
Sound familiar?
Are you frustrated by not being able to draw your character consistently? Do you wonder how on earth it’s possible?
Frustration becomes a roadblock after a while. Not having a process that provide consistent results can wear you down.
How to draw cartoon faces consistently
The best idea is to do your thinking in advance. This is something we do on Da Vinci — work out systematically what your character’s face looks like face-on, in profile and in 3/4 profile, and draw that out. Now you’ve got a character/model reference which will save you time!
Take a look at the video below to see a step-by-step demonstration of the process, and then try it for yourself. It’s simple and will take around 15 minutes in total.
