Feature design

The shape of the Head is a very important aspect of a character's personality because of its quick read and silhouette.  Close up, however and the other features of the face take on their own significance.  Even more than with the shape of the head, we tend to draw the same types of features over and over again.

The best way to learn to draw different types of features... is to look around!
