FEMALE FACES
The eye is a more familiar shape, the most important one in a manga face. Eyes are
usually extremely large and glossy-looking, with highlights and graceful lashes. This is
a typical example, which could be used on all kinds of characters.
Start with a rough
saucepan shape, add-
ing small spikes in the
top two corners.
Within the saucepan,
draw two curving
verticals for the pupils,
and an oval shape
inside that.Next, define three
areas for highlights,
overlapping the pupil.AN EYE IN DETAIL
Shade the drawing using
darker tones for the pupil
and edges of the eye.
Finally, add some
sweeping eyelashes
and an arched
eyebrow.
