Manga Tutorials: Manga Head Tutorials 

Drawing A Manga Head, Total Break Down.

This tutorial is a a clean tutorial of a professional quality.
Learn how to draw a manga head front view, and three quarter view! I don't think that this is where you should get all of your knowledge and proportions from, but they are helpful for when your first starting, personally I think their proportions are slightly off, but since every artist is different and has their own unique styles, this is no concern.

This is a step-by-step tutorial.
I rate this tutorial at 31/2 stars, because it is helpful, but on the other hand, I don't completely agree with the proportions.
