Description from the creator

Learn how to draw faces step by step from scratch. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to draw a male and female face, with the differences explained. Although, if you want to learn more about masculine and feminine features, I suggest you watch my other video too, which gets into a lot more detail: youtube.com/watch?v=RHD7kHR2GHY.

In this video, I'll also demonstrate how to transform your characters by making simple changes to each of their facial features, so you can create a face that looks exactly the way you want it to. As with anything, the more you practice, the better you will become at drawing a girl or guy, so don't give up!
