I love woman but i can't draw them. 98% of all my figure drawing were man, and when i tried to draw a woman, it turned out to be a man with long hair. I have to burn it because it scared the heck out of me. So can you guys please point out the different between a man and a woman's face please. Thank you

the face of a woman goes beneath her skin/lips and hair too :P .. so go pickup some anatomy/skeleton structure books.



and u can learn how to draw the rest too :P

So, you're women are always men with long hair? I'm not a psychologist, so I can't comment on the obvious "tendencies" expressed here.

Anyway, the simple answer is to pick up a book like "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" by Stan Lee and John Buscema. I know lots of people who started out with this book.

The more complicated answer is to get some anatomy books and do more life drawings of women. There are clear "rules" for drawing women versus men.

I've read a book called Playboy, and i've learned nothing but junk.

Any way, do you guys happen to know any online guide to draw woman's faces other than books?

Well, i think women has a more smoother curves and smaller jaws than men. They are also good to be layed on. ;P

It sounds suspiciously like you are looking for a short cut. You don't want to get a book or study actual men or women?

There's very few sites about figure drawing, and none that I know of specifically about the difference between men or women. I think you might be stuck with getting a book or observing some faces on your own.

Women's heads are smaller and rounder as a rule; men's heads are boxier with squarer jaws. Some of the proportions are basically the same, 5 eye widths wide, eyeline half way down the head, etc. Women's lips are rounder, more supple.

Hope that helps a little.
