Heh, you should make a tutorial.
I really like that nose-eye-ear work. It really helped me, with on-going works. You see, of course, I can do manga, but as far as I noticed (for myself) I don't digest it.
Er... Can you do sketches, of lips, if you see them below-above?
I'll see what I can do later on today then.
And I'm glad it helped you! Eyes and lips were always the hardest things for me when I started, but once I learned those were the things that I enjoyed drawing the most.
Funny you mention that. I used to draw manga and anime all the time when I was younger and I recall one day picking up a sketch and loathing it. Then I was browsing deviantART and saw all that wonderful realistic art and well...I've been drawing it ever since.
Do you mean from above and below angles?
