How to Draw a Manga-Style Face (Mark Crilley's "Miki Falls")

  • Human eyeballs ...

    Human eyeballs never grow. So babies/children have large eyes in proportion to the rest of the face, and length between eyes and nose is small. As our face grows, in height and width, the eyes appear smaller, but is the same.

    If you want to draw a child (or a really cute manga creature), make the eyes propotionally larger than the rest of the face, or the face smaller and rounder.

    Anatomically the distance between one eye to another is the length of another eye, and that does not change.

  • It's not really ...

    It's not really that "child miki" has a wider face it's more that "older miki" has a longer face with eyes placed higher than "Child miki".
    If that made sense XD (nice observation ^^)

  • I noticed that the ...

    I noticed that the drawing from before (that had a wider face) looked a lot more like a child than the newer Miki (longer face). Do children usually have wider faces than adults?

  • Yes!!! I can see ...

    Yes!!! I can see how you are holding the pencil, and it's exactly similar to my own way.

    Fact is, my arts&crafts teacher has been hassling me because I'm "holding the pencil too hard", but judging from this video, where we can see your pointer almost snapping in two places, I can finally tell her to get off my back =D

    Funny thing is, she holds you and your videos in high regard, and never misses a chance to quote you, Mark =)

    Cheers!

    -Aleks
