What’s the most difficult face anatomy you find to draw?

[kavaj]

I sincerely prefer more simple and not too detailed style when reading comic idk why. The ears —— i feel the pain. it’s years before i realize that ears aren’t supposed to look the same from all angles xD

[kavaj]

That’s the second thing i find the most difficult too.! I think i have difficulties with parts that convey emotions. First eyes, then mouth and then eyebrows lmao. I can only draw a sneer xD.

Do hairlines count?

I don’t know absolutely, but in here it does /o/

What about the hair itself? Isn’t it more difficult ?

I'm sure there's more different type of faces that i haven't tried before, but for me now: bird characters. Even though i have my own way of drawing my bird character face, I still need a 3d reference to draw the beaks.

For me it's jawlines. Drawing them initially isn't the problem, it's recreating the way I did them later when I have to draw the character again.

Old people are hard to draw

Drawing realistic pointy noses in straight on portrait.

Rounder noses I am fine with. 3/4 view I am fine with. It's just from the front I can't get it to look right.

[Rocksteady_Comics]

I like drawing faces and have a pretty cartoony style so most of it doesn’t give me trouble, but profile...

Faces in profile just never look quite right when I draw them.

[crowstories]

Yep, profile. Maybe 1 in 5 times I get it right, but mostly they end up a little off, and I have to move on after a few tries because I have a deadline...

Open mouthes and teeth.

[siluscomics]

It's also the eyes for me, just getting them to be the same size can be frustrating!

Eyes.
Eyes haunt me.
Mind you, I figured out it was the sketching and building of face structure perspective that was messing me up.
Once I started using 3d models to help me with perspective, the issue is pretty much gone.

I think details are easy to manage and just a question of taking the time to learn how to do it,
eyes, nose, ears, hair etc. You can theoretically be a complete beginner to learn how to draw
the details.
Drawing the construction / head in different angles is tough because you first have to understand
perspective and be so good at it that you don´t have to think about it anymore and that´s something
a beginner would not be able to learn. Learning how to draw an eye doesn´t take longer than
one week, learning how to place that eye in all angles takes a lot of time

Noses.Despite my style being inspired by anime, I don't want to make it just one small line or dot-like some anime does, so trying to do a more realistic nose, eh...it sometimes looks wrong, too long or weird.

Eyes are also a problem, but I figured, just copy and paste one eye. Then just change the position of the iris lol.

I also usually don't draw ears, they are hidden behind the hair.

Have some trouble with the jawline. Mostly because i try to make it more curve/round, but sometimes it can look uncanny valley.

Honest answer: everything is hard for me.

[sushy00]

yeah noses are difficult! It is hard to draw them realistically without making them ugly (well at least for me)

[Iris-Grimoire]

Noses noses noses. Even if eyes or ears don't come out too right, I usually know a few tricks to keep them in the acceptable line. I still feel like an amateur drawing noses consistently and at the same time good.

Also, on the face overall, drawing any seen-from-below angle. I've even brought it up with other far better artists than me and there's really no good-looking way to draw that without cheating and making the character bend down to look at the camera, the chin always ruins it otherwise.
