Would you like a tip in these trying times

 

So the family stuff had a bit of a part two today but things are looking a lot better now. I made some pencil sketches for the blog at a family member's house, but I forgot to take a picture and left them there. Instead, here's a little tip that helps with nose placement especially with anime/flat style eyes. Got this from the artist I've been studying recently, TenTen. I kinda figured this out before hand when I was dealing a lot with 3d models, but this diagram explains it best. Mouths are kind of a different thing though, you can place them anywhere and they will have a different "effect" or feeling. Like with anime mouths, you can place them forward, back, high, low, and they will all give of a different vibe, yet still look "right" - if the it fits the piece.
