Exposure to zillions of artists is one of the principal drives I've had to improve as an artist and come to where I am today. This I owe to the dev community.

I'm not putting myself on a pedestal here. I'm not a seasoned comic pro... hell, I wouldn't exactly call myself a pro yet, my first printed work isn't even on the shelves yet. However, I am a professional artist, and I think I have some knowledge and experience.

That's why it's time to give back to community. Pay it forward, so to speak.

These sketches are excercises in character rendering. I reallyrecommend you do the steps in the order listed. It really helps to speedily repeat the same craneofacial makeup several times, since it helps create muscle memory. They say teaching is learning, and I agree, I got more out of making this then I think people will get out of reading it.

Anyway, I hope it helps anyone working to become a better artist. And remember, be original. No technique is the superior (certainly not mine), and take what you get out of this tutorial and make it your own.

I'll try to whip out a female heroic, and then a male and female civilian version, soon.

Disclaimer is on the bottom. Ya damn hyenas!

Did you do a Female Craneofacial yet? I've been looking for something that helps me with female facial expressions, or something exaggerated like what :iconreiq: does.

Actually I have the hardest time with sexy poses and facial expressions regarding women.

I never did... nor do I think I will, my style and methods have changed dramatically since I made this. I will probably make a revised, unisex craneofacial tutorial distilling the basics of my style... but not anytime soon. I am full time professional artist now, when I made this tutorial I was barely in school.

That's a shame. Would you know anyone who is an expert or worth consulting about how to draw sensual poses?

That's what everyone else has said to me, but I've tried that and it doesn't really help from a drawing perspective. All I get is photographs that don't really suggest what more I can do with a female figure composition. I want to be able to pose a female figure the way I want her to be posed, but without constantly using photography as a reference which is based on how they want to pose.

People also suggest Posemaniacs but that stuff is too random and generic to be useful.

I feel like I need to ask a swimsuit model about pose techniques for this.
