Drawing error correction: Facial propotions and neck positioning

 

Sarah

"Hi! I'm Sarah, WizComic's guide!

How are you doing during Golden Week?”

Gecka

“Hi! Hopefully many people will read the articles during Golden Week!”

Well, there was request for correction again today.”

Sarah

“Oh wow, how thankful!”

Gecka

“The other day, request for correction was from my friend Mr. Oimo. Again this time, the request was from my friend Mr. Kinoko (his nickname, mushroom?)!”

Sarah

“…? At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong…?”

Geacka

“My friend Kinoko who sent this thinks…”

Kinoko

“I don’t know what it is, but feels “slimy””

Gecka

“This is his impression.”

Sarah

“What…?”

Gecka

“Well, I’ll start explaining!”

Sarah

“This kind of minor gap can lead to feeling strange…”

Gecka

“In reality, human face is different from left to right.

However, human brain recognizes left side of face first.

For this reason, if left side is drawn beautifully,

it looks in shape looking at first.

 

However, truly beautiful person is actually different.

This is famous story, but Marilyn Monroe’s face is very close to golden ratio.

It is not too much to say that her face is golden ration itself.

Beautiful lady like her,

won’t look strange even if you copy right side of the face and stick to the left side or bias versa.

Even then, you people who draw shouldn’t stick right side of face to left side to equalize.

That will prevent you from improving. Okay?”

 

Sarah

“Understood, impression changed drastically!”

Gecka

“Well, let’s move on to the next article, explanation on body.”

“Pay attention properly on the neck.”

Gecka

“This one, I changed the angle of the neck, adjusting to the body drawn.”

Sarah

“I don’t get it, though…”

Gecka

“Well then, please look at the poses adjusting to the neck.”

 Sarah

“Oh, this is how it looks adjusting to the neck!?”

 

Gecka

“Absolutely, you have to be very careful since the person will have strong stooped shoulders, if you draw the standing pose in that neck angle.”

In that sense, it may be useful when drawing creatures.”

 

Gecka

“Surprisingly, it’s necessary to understand three-dimensional to draw deformed characters.”

Sarah

“You first need to understand head to draw the neck.”

Gecka

“Well then, this is it for today’s correction.”

 

Sarah

“You can also apply correction via twitter anytime!”
