How Ez Draws Heads

Hi, guys!

So my friend requested that I share how I draw heads—and of course I'm happy to oblige! I didn't know which of my characters to use an an example so I just used the ones that are freshest in my memory.

This isn't a tutorial in the strict sense. It's more me showing my process, since I assume all of you can already draw if it's something you're into. Not sure if this is done often. I guess exposing how to draw your characters is kind of like a magician revealing his tricks. But nobody will ever draw them exactly like I draw them, so I'm not worried.

Their designs are just two years of continual trial and error. I keep shifting the lines around to see which proportions work best. I've discarded literally piles and piles of drawings where they're drawn with different proportions and features. Theodore, for example, has especially come a long way from [link].

Anyways, the key is simplicity. I stick to easy proportions, like 1/2's and 1/3's.

Aaaaand I guess that's it! Ask me any questions if you got any.

If you happen to draw any of my characters using this chart as practice, link me! I'd love to see and I'll post a link to your drawings in this here comment box!

I'll keep this in my Tips & Tutorials folder, but I'll be moving this to my Scraps soon. So you know where to find it.

Thanks, guys! And thanks, !!
