ANDREW GIBBONS SKETCHBOOK

[Fedodika]

Hey bro wanted to give ya a quick crit, So basically take your hand and put it at the bottom of your ear, feel where your jaw connects to your neck; IE the sternomastoid. I see a lot of people have this problem with necks so don't feel bad haha; Just remember to place your head on those neck muscles, especially in this more realistic style you're going for. In anime you can get away with the super thin neck that has little foundation but in realism it looks weird. 

Also make sure you take into account the muzzle of the lips, even asian women have these even if they are pretty and less pronounced. do make sure to rock the center line to ensure your features are lining up on the structure of the form as well, like the nose/forehead etc, some of them are skewed. A good exercise for that is getting the skull and tracing over it, finding the simplest possible forms for each major part, then drawing the simplified versions from memory, helped me a ton!

Also don't skimp on the collarbones, they can really add to a womans charm!
