The only comics character that doesn't need a head is the HEADLESS HORSEMAN so unless you are planning to spend your life drawing the japanesse version of the cartoon you better check this out!!
Check out the MODULOR of the head, this will give you a geometric understanding of the shape of the head
The basic manga character head is drawed within an oval like this:
1. Divide the oval in four using a one vertical (axis line)and one horizontal line.(eye level line)
2. In the extreme of the eye level line you will draw two circles which later will become the ears.
3. Draw two arcs in the inside extremes of the eye level line,those will later become the eyes.
Remember to draw them from left to right . Always draw everything from left to right . Why ??
Because that's the way that you write , otherwise things won't look the sameThis is what I call The Harlock syndrome because when both eyes don't look the same you will end up covering one of them with a tuft of hair
If you have problems with the eyes size you can draw a paralel line over the eye level line the same high the eyes will be, sort of auxiliary guide line.
4. The distant between the eyes is aproximately the wide of an eye or an eye an a half. Normaly the wide of a head is five eyes, but in manga sometimes it can be three because their eyes are bigger .
5. Divide the lower part of the oval in three equal parts using two horizontal lines in the upper one is where the nose will be located the other one is for the mouth.
The mouth is very little in women and when they are talking looks something like this:
Hey .. this could be our first step into animation.I told you ,you can learn a lot if you hang around with me
Looking it from the side the head can be drawn within a square or using ovals
Of course it depends of what kind of character are you drawing if he's a villian he will look like this:
Note that I let the eyes white so it looks like he is possessed in his own evilness
Same thing with a woman,but no white eyes
