I start with the general frames of the head and/or the body. I'm trying to avoid working on the face too long, but I can't help it.

I start off with the face line first, then the eyes, down to the neck, shoulders, back to the head to work on the hair, then back down to more of the body.

When I Do Draw,
I start of with Head, like the shape.
Then Eyes, hair, nose, mouth.
I rarely do ears because I style the hair so ears cannot be seen.

I used to always start with the chin, but now, I've begun to start with the hair. I find it turns out nicer that way.

I usually start with the eyes, then add the nose, then the chin. To me it makes it easier to place the mouth without messing it up too much.

I always start on the clothes, then the hands and lastly the face,
because I find that to be the most difficult at times for me (depending on what I want to acheive in the drawing).  
PostPosted: Mon Jul 26, 2010 8:38 am
i change where i start sometimes. most of the time though i start with the head and just get the outline of the body, and put the details for the face first. or if i feel like just doing the ill start with that first and do all the curves on the body. but of course i would just sketch the head and do that last. what bothers me is sometimes it looks out of porpotion. lol and then i get lazy and give up on the head and start new. sometimes i start with the eyes and then draw the head. then i do the body. if i want a certain pose and im not sure i start with a stick figure and go from there using circles and other shapes to help me.
