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

[VibrantFox]

since i've got a relatively toony style faces aren't too hard but i tend to hate ears of all the parts of a face. Knowing how to draw their different shapes, which ones you draw based on the angle and then size...it's utterly painful

[kavaj]

it's hard. The way I draw anatomy from the neck-down runs reasonably close to life, but the way I draw faces is more stylised. Following a reference too closely makes them look stiff.

Which I guess means I should grit my teeth, get out my charcoal and do some dang studies until said difficulty is less difficult.

Don’t get me wrong, i find that stylized and anime/looser style superior than realism because you need to be able to convey with simple strokes! Which i can’t apparently
But i can see why looking up and down may be difficult. I also need to study more atleast with face down you don’t need to draw the eyes lmao.

I'm particularly salty about it today since I've been drawing a couple - profiles! Grrrrrrr . The whole outline of a profile drives me bats every time. And getting a mouth that looks convincing is the absolute worst.

[Grhe]

Same for me, ears can be a pain 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!

[carloswebcomic]

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.
