Description: This is my very first tutorial to submit.~ Included, I will show my technique for drawing the manga head, in the front view for the Shoujo girl. I prefer to draw in the traditional Japanese manga, instead of using "angular" eyes such as shown in: Pokemon, (I'm sorry but true, at least for one character) Inuyasha, and a few others. For all of my drawings and tuts, I use only (pencil and paper) when drawing, as I don't have a Tablet yet,and only have the Paint Tool. Please enjoy!~
