Drawing eyebrows


Usually, after someone have drawn the eye, you usually just jump right into drawing the eyebrow. The eyebrows are arc shaped lines of hair, basically. They are very complicated, yet overlooked. If you were to draw an eye correctly, and you draw the eyebrow incorrectly it could throw off everything.
There are different ways of drawing the eyebrow. These different ways are used to show different expressions. For example, if the eyebrow is closer to the eye, and it is curving upward, with stress lines/wrinkles underneath, then that character is most likely mad or angry.
If the eyebrow is at a regular ark, then the person is usually happy.

Stepping out of your safety zone

Stepping out of your safety zone is the most effective way to improve when it comes to drawing. "What do I mean by stepping out of your safety zone?", I mean to work on something you're not good at, and keep practicing on it.
For example, I suck at drawing hands (i manage to do so sometimes, but other times, it just looks terrible), so I'll keep drawing hands, maybe draw a whole sheet on just hands, until I can do it efficiently.
Remember, Practice makes perfect! and start stepping out of your safety zones!
Good luck!

Site Modifications!

I changed around the site a little to kind of cover the lack of updates lately. Sorry for that, schooling is getting a little rough. Hope you guys like it and don't forget to hit that +1 button to help the site out!

Mouths

Drawing the mouth may seem like a difficult task at first, but it is actually very easy. To draw a mouth, you simply draw a small line underneath the nose. In anime, mouth's aren't really that big unless they are showing great emotion (for example, extreme laughter, extreme sorrow, anger, etc.) All the focus of your anime character is going to be on the eyes, mostly. In few cases, is the mouth the main focus, so it is not really that important to spend a lot of time drawing them.


Good luck!
