Design Brief 3 - Character Design - Faces

I have always had trouble with faces, which is why I normally focus on the clothes of a character.

Looking around online for tutorials and studies, I came across the following;

and

I found these to be really helpful and I would highly recommend them.
Using this new-found knowledge, I have set about drawing my own studies.

If you read the tutorials, you would realise that the nose and lips are made up primarily of circles. Above is just a quick sketch attempting to cement this idea in my mind

 

Above is my attempt at noses using the circle method. I have done straight on, angled, side and from below. I think this method works very well. Moving the nostrils closer together would make a more feminine looking nose.

Above is my attempt at lips. Like before, I have done front, side, side angled and from below. These lips are very feminine; removing some of the definition of the top lip and smoothing out the cupids bow would make for a more male mouth.

Hair! I need to decide on a hairstyle for Thel' so I drew up some ideas

aaaaannnnd on closer inspection......

"Centre parting. Left side over shoulder"

"Right side parting, all behind shoulders"

"Right side parting. Right side over face, left behind ear, front of shoulder"

"Centre parting, left side curtaining left shoulder, right side behind shoulder"

"Ponytail?"

In conclusion, I believe the styles that demand the most consideration are styles 2 and 4. 4 is quite sultry while 2 is, although plain, out of the way and face-defining.
