Front View : Step 4- Feature Placement

Divide the lowest portion into 3rds. 1/3 down from the horizontal noseline is the mouthline.

The ears should be placed on the same line that the bottom of the nose is on. Ears span from the lower noseline to just above the eyeline.

The Mouth should be as wide as the space between the inside corners of the eyes.

Front View : Step 5- the eyes

Eye proportions depend on the "Cute" level of the character you're drawing. I do more serious stuff so my eyes aren't as large as some other styles of Manga. I've noticed cute or comical story characters have larger eyes.

I place the corners of the eyes on the horizontal eyeline. The eyes should be apporxmately 1 "eye" length apart from each other and half an eye length in from the edge of the face.
