Erasing an eye or eyes after already starting inking sounds like a lot more work in redrawing them, but I'm guessing that it's worth it. Thanks!

I had a math teacher who could draw perfect circles freehand, but those were more than two feet big on a chalkboard. :)

DeviantProtagonist:
Speaking of drawing facial features, you should look up Mark Crilley as well. He's a renowned manga artist with loads of guidance videos on Youtube. His details are very precise as is the explanation of methods and common mistakes.

altuixde:
The book I'm learning from is Mastering Manga by Mark Crilley. :) Oddly enough, I haven't watched any of his YouTube videos yet.

DeviantProtagonist:
That makes two of us, then! He's also got a DeviantArt page, and I have both volumes from said author. Quite the treat, right? :3

altuixde:
Yeah! I always thought that drawing was beyond my ability, but the book breaks it down into doable steps.

Edit: One of Mark Crilley's videos showed me what I was doing wrong when drawing reference circles. I was trying to draw them in one stroke, but you're actually supposed to use many light strokes.
