Let’s Study Gohan & Trunks’s Faces

By Lory

Draw a circle that will contain the upper face. Trace 2 intersecting lines. A vertical one that you’ll use to draw the nose and the mouth and also an horizontal one for eyes. Trace 2 parallel of the main horizontal line. The upper one for eyebrows, and lower one for nose.

Draw an half and lightly elongated circle between the two exterior horizontal lines. That’ll be the ear, then add a jaw under the circle while imagining a curve that reaches the bottom of the ears.

Draw the eyes on the middle horizontal line (make them thin and triangular). Draw the nose and the mouth at the junction of vertical and lower horizontal line (make them very small and close together). Add the outline of the neck.

Erase all the useless guidelines. Draw the basic shape of hair, making it very thick and rounded.

Add more hair’s details, then some pupils, and shade beneath the mouth. Don’t worry if they don’t come out right at first. I always draw them many times before being satisfied by the results.

And here’s what you’re getting when you’re putting the two pictures together.

One last word of advice, the best way for you to progress is to study pictures done by Akira Toriyama. To help you, you’ll find below a large selection of references pictures scanned by Lord Truhan for this tutorial.
