How to draw female head...

Same deal, different head. Proportionwise and placementwise, the structure is basically the same as that of a man. You've still got the skull/jaw combo, and you tick off the horizontal guidelines in the same spots. Now come the differences. Leave off the contour lines of the forehead in the finished drawing. Anything that articulates the bone structure of the face, such as those forehead contour lines, makes her look more masculine. The exception is cheekbones, which are very sexy on women. The forehead should look totally smooth - not  a wrinkle on it.
Soften the angles of her jaw and chin. Raise the outside of her eyes slightly. Fill out  the lips (as if you didn't already do that!)and ease up on the    bridge of the nose or omit it entirely.


P.S. The material is taken from the book "Christopher Hart - Drawing Cutting Edge Comics."
