I have a lot of trouble trying to keep my character looking the same, if anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate it!
As well as any general harsh criticism on any of my work!

hii the main thing you should do to keep same look for your character is measure/memorise their most unique facial features and keep them the same. for example head shape (is it oval, round? start your sketch with the same simple shape), mouth - where the mouth sits on the face?, distance between eyes etc
breaking down your character into simple shapes and repeating them when you draw them again will help you a lot

Thank you! Cant believe I haven’t thought about this, so I should kind of break her down into planes I guess

Have you critiqued this? I don’t remember 😔 if you remember what you said I would love to hear it
What I mean is that her facial features and head shape/what not don’t stay consistent and I need better ways of achieving that

something abt how you could make it more alien like
AHH yes you helped me so much!! Im incredibly thankful full for that ☺️
How alien do you think she looks now haha

Honestly I was surprised when I saw it, it looks so much better and more realistic now. Great job with it

I’ve done a few more sketches trying to measure out distances and what not but I seem to really dislike and struggle with the 3/4 view. I didn’t work too hard on it but they never make sense to me 😔
I’m open to absolutely anything, everything and anything to help me improve

Idk if this is helpful but maybe create a ref sheet and use that when drawing new things with it?

I've made a little scheme how can you approach the whole 'copy the shape' thong! try to simplify it and find easy to draw shapes. sorry for messiness xd
I outlined the whole head shaped and copy it next to the ref then I divided the head to 3 main areas 1 chin to nose, 2 nose to eyebrows, 3 forehead and traced same areas into the new drawing. then we can look for smaller details and fit them into the 3 areas - where ears end/start, eye shape,.. and now you can easily fit it into the areas. just remember that it will change it's shape a little, since it's far from us, ale the other eye will be a little cover because of nose etc. but with this scheme it should be a little bit easier to find where everything sits
for the profile we can use the same measurements. you can also use reference pictures for better understanding of head shape in profile view but still can apply your own schemes to it to fit your character^^ for example use reference for marking where should the ear start and how to shape jawline and then go in with your own marks for nose, mouth etc.
eye shape will change but you should keep in mind how it looks like from the front view - the inner corner of the eye is lower than the outer corner for example so you should reflect that into the profile view

This makes so so much more sense!! Thank you ☺️ I’ll do a few more sketches and see how I go!
I really appreciate all this effort oh my goodness 🥹

I’ve done that before but again the 3/4 view is a STRUGGLE 😔 I’m going to try to break her down into shapes and maybe draw all those shapes separately in 3/4 views!
Thank you tho, you did remind me I have to do this haha

I tried, but turns out we're in the same boat.

What did you try?
@normal jetty sorry for pinging you AGAIN, I heavily referenced your guide and made it my own. I think this has helped me a ton for the side view! Yet to try the 3/4
If anyone has any suggestions I’m in need
tropic jewel
I’m not the best right now either haha, but I’m determined to learn!
tropic jewel
I used multiple references for parts of her face, like eyes and nose. I haven’t gotten up to her head shape yet, so ignore that!
But what do you guys think about this? Harsh criticism wanted!

Realising I need to fix a few bits as soon as I post this 🥲
