In this lesson we're going to take a quick look at the role that eyes and forehead heart plays in determining
the gender and the age of characters.
And we're going to start off with Jane the the first thing to note is that typically we want to be shortening
the vertical height of the eyes when we're drawing the male characters eyes and making the female characters
as a little bit bigger of course.
Everything still fits within our guidelines so do keep that in mind and see here that the male eyes
have just been slightly shortened a little bit.
In addition to that we wanted to over emphasize or exaggerate the eyelashes on the female character
make it very obvious that they have some beautiful Fanning eyelashes.
Don't forget that it's primarily horizontal and in the male characters playing or not even rendering
even the lashes can be quite important in making sure we have more of a masculine look to the eye.
Now in addition to this we may even take the approach of different completely different styles.
When dealing with male characters and this makes a clear differentiation between female and male characters
this height is more akin to a normal style or a realistic style.
HUNT And it's a really a great tool to differentiating all male from you know female characters.
Let's move on to age
when dealing with age.
One of the primary tools we can use is reducing the forehead height of the characters.
So whether they're babies up to really old people we will see a scale of a big forehead as they're younger
and a smaller forehead as they characters get older.
And what you can see here happening as well is that the eyes tend to move higher and higher up slightly
modifying the proportions of the face.
You can see that the nose starts really close to the eyes move slightly lower and lower and as such
that then modifies the mouth line as well.
In addition to that the actual size of the eyes gets a little smaller as characters get older.
And what some manga and anime artists do is they actually create separate design for older characters
to Stockley differentiate them from the younger characters so the characters will usually have big shiny
eyes and the characters may just have very plain eyes with dots and things like that.
Of course that is a stylistic choice.
Do you keep these important points in mind as you move toward creating a mini cactus and I will see
you guys in the next lesson.
