This demo will show how to draw my character Moria. Moria is an 18-year old girl who has spent most of her life sailing with her brother, Albert. She is always studying the ocean to discover new fish species. Moria is self-reliant, quick witted and brave.
Start by drawing a head circle, then sketch the chin and neck.
Draw two horizontal lines for the eye guidelines, and one vertical (symmetry) line that cuts the face in half. Sketch the ears as shown. (Notice that her earlobes end on the lower eye line, unlike Lia’s.)
Draw Moria’s eyes and the eyebrows. Her eyes are smaller and sharper than Lia’s eyes. Notice the shape of her eyebrows. Eyebrows can tell a lot about a character.
Add the nose and mouth. Then draw Moria’s shirt. It’s a good idea to sketch the shoulder shape first, then draw how the collar fits over it.
Draw Moria’s hair. Make the hair strands as smooth as possible. Then add details to her clothes. Notice how the hair seems to be moving and be windswept because the strands are far apart.
Erase the guidelines and ink the drawing. Then apply colors. Moria’s hair color can be tricky but you can get the color right by starting with a dark blue and then shading the darkest areas with black.
