Err... maybe. Let's continue.

Lesson 3: Lori's head - front view

1. As always we start with the same circle.


2. Draw ellipses for eyes just like when we drew Spaz. When making ellipses for ears, make ends of the upper ones narrow. Lori's chin circles are higher and closer to middle than Jazz's or Spaz's. Use a curve going through big circle bottom to make it all smooth. Draw a big upside-down drop shape, bigger than Jazz's.


3. Now, we're gonna leave the eyes just as they are now. No narrowing. Instead let's make a BIG ellipse which starts somewhere on top of eyes. Basically it can go where you want, it's gonna be for Lori's giant ponytail and it's very customisable. Make a line between eyes - slightly curved, almost straight. Nose should be smaller than Jazz's. Make some fur on the small circles and smoothly connect them with the big circle.


4. Make the inner parts for ears. No fur effects for 'em tho'. Make those for hair. Eye pupils are bigger than Jazz's or Spaz's. Notice that the snout is not divided from rest of the head by a line. Lori also doesn't have her teeth sticking out (they're there, can be seen when her mouth is open - we'll get to that later). Notice how I shapened end of the ponytail. It's easier than it looks...


5. Make ellipses around eye pupils and small circles inside them - yes, two for each. That will give more cuteness. Draw the eyebrows... appearently they will be thiner than Jazz's or Spaz's by natural - but you can always draw her a makeup and make'em, like, thrice as thick. ;o Before repeating the ponytail make a small band on top of it and connect it with the big circle like shown below. Now you can make some fur effects for the big chunk'o hair.


6. Inking Lori shouldn't be too difficult, just remember to correctly fill the eyepupils and nos e shading.


7. Coloring should be easy, too. A funny thing is that normally her eyes are purple, but her ingame sprite has green eyes. I guess that's because of the default color settings for singleplayer. Anyway, they SHOULD be purple.


Aaaand next time we'll start the heads all over again, but from an angled view!
