Alrighty. You can start with the first lesson, which was to draw the separate parts of the face (nose, mouth, ear, etc. )
Please try to find references for them, it will make them turn out much better. Not only that, but you will learn more about drawing the face if you use a reference than if you tried to draw a face from memory.

I copied the original post so you can see the full assignment. (the "..." is where I cut out unimportant information. You can see the original post in an earlier page of this thread.)
Quote:

LESSON # 1
Parts of the Human Face


This first lesson is really simple: draw ten sets of eyes, ten sets of ears, ten noses, and ten mouths.

They can be anime-ish or realistic, though if you plan on doing art in college (or even to start an art career) realistic is recommended. Observation is VERY helpful in doing realistic works.

... maybe even get photos off the internet or in magazines of random people.

There are two catches: they all have to be different ( no repeating eyes over and over again D:< ) and they have to be seperated, which means don't build them into a face just yet.

It's recommended to draw all your eyes on one paper, your noses on a seperate paper, and so on.

...
I would very much appreciate it if you would do the eyes first, then the noses, the mouths, and finally the ears. Each group of parts will count as seperate assignments.

Sorry it's been a few days since I've replied. There's this honors art program I want to get into for college, and the deadline is really soon, so I've been stressed out trying to finish the application >__>;


(If getting photos off the internet that are not stock photos, PLEASE ask before using, because some people do not like their photos being used and WILL do something about it if you use it. If you simply tell them you're learning how to draw the face, I'm sure they'll understand.

Here's some helpful DA faqs for more information on stock photos, which I personally love ^_^
Can I use things created by other people?
What are "Stock Photos"?)

Sorry, doing a bit of fangirling :'D
This is a video of Scott McCloud explaining comic books. There's alot of material that he covers that's present in his three books on comic books, so I recommend watching it, and getting the books if you can. Maybe check them out of a library or something wink

I have two of the books, and I love them <3

You uploaded them to facebook; I don't think I can view stuff that is on your facebook albums if I'm not a friend. Why don't you upload to photobucket or something like that?

The only word I can find to describe Scott McCloud is awesome biggrin

Facebook doesn't like letting people who aren't on your friends list view your images. I knew that because I tried to let one of my friends see me in my halloween costume from a facebook album, and it wouldn't let her.

You can just upload to imageshack or photobucket, or if you have a deviantart or a sheezyart, upload it to your scraps.

I have a sheezy, it's the same as my DA name, TheLotusPwns.
