Trowa


Trowa is the second most distinguished character due to his hair. ;) And just because you don't have to draw both eyes...doesn't mean he's easy!! ;)
FEATURES DETAILS HAIR STEPS

FACE

I hope you can see his face here. ;) Just stare at it for awhile...okay that's enough on to the tutorial!!

Features
Eyes: I found a pic of just his eye! It's basically has the same shape as Heero's eye, but it's narrower.
Eyebrows: Trowa has really thin eyebrows too. They're often at an angle too. :P
Nose: This is a frontal shot of his nose. But it's still really simple. Two lines. He does have a pretty long nose too. But not too beaky or upturned.
Mouth: Trowa's mouth is pretty small and hardly ever opened. ;) just a simple line will do. His lower lip is pretty prominent in this pic.

Details
Now, I've shown you the basic features. Let me show you some details.
Jawline: Trowa has a long, narrow face. See my arrows?
Tips: Ah! He really does have 2 eyes! Don't forget his ears...his hair doesn't completly hide them.

Hair
Believe it or not, Trowa's hair is pretty simple compared to Heero and Duo! Blah!
1. (This is not the best pic of his hair. :P) But I need to show you where his part is. The back of his hair just follows the shape of the back of his head. Make note of that little sideburn too. ;)
2. I've outlined the basic shape of his hair. Try to keep the top of his hair smooth and the spikes kinda gather at a point near the end. Notice there's that one spike by his part, don't forget that one too! ;)

Steps
1. As always, I start with my circle, verticle face line, and horizontal eye line. I've also added little dashes on the eyeline to help my place the eyes in the right spot.
2. I've placed the leftmost face boundary. I put in the eyes and nose to help me place the rest of his features. (I draw both eyes to help with placement. One will disappear).

2b. I make the basic shape of the upper lid first, then thicken that. Trowa's iris (colored part) is small and round. The highlights aren't too big. Make note of my shading. ;)

3. Next, I pencil in the geometeric shape of his jaw line. I made sure I made a face boundary line on the right side too.

3b. The eyebrows are jus a thickened curved line as shown.

4. I smooth out the angles in the geometric jawline to make the real one. I've also placed the ear and neck in. The mouth is just 2 small dashes.
5. Hair is added last. I start at the back of the circle and make his part. From there, I go right around his head. Then I go to the left mostly around his head, but then I start spiking his hair. Note that I remembered the sideburn and little spike near his part.
