Anime eyebrows drawing with no suffering! Indeed, drawing eyebrows is child's play if you follow this secret technique. Thanks to the previous tutorials, you already know how mangakas make beautiful anime eyes. You also know how to draw beautiful, but basic eyes all by yourself. Let's dive into the topic of eyebrows.
Cues for anime eyebrows drawing
An interesting first step would be to understand how to simplify the overhall shape and get some clues. The next steps will be much easier with this approach. Achieving likeness in your portraits means achieving likeness in your eyebrows too.
Let me introduce Monica:

When you draw the same character over and over again, you want everyone to recognize it every time. You need to draw the same face from different angles and sizes, but with consistent proportions. That's why you need cues.
Eyebrow focus...

For the first time, I'm revealing my secret weapon for never missing an eyebrow: dots! (yes, once again, dots are magic).

To begin with, I focus on the distance between the base line of the eyes and the base line of the eyebrows. Next, I'm searching for the three defining points of the eyebrow.

The second point is perhaps the most important. The higher it is, the more arched the eyebrow. Once it's set, it's much harder to make a mistake. It's easier to remain consistent, when drawing realistic characters. An it suits all faces.

I often use this technique to create characters, to obtain symmetry in the faces, or to obtain variations for my concepts. At first, you literally draw the dots, but as you get used to them, it becomes less and less necessary to draw them. Your brain imagines them and the job is done.
