But I, being poor, have only my dreams...

Touken Ranbu Musical “Mihotose no Komoriuta”

Hi Anon! So sorry to hear you’re struggling. 3/4th is my favorite comfort zone, but I don’t know how well I can walk you through it any better than the many tutorials out there. There are plenty that do tutorials much better than me and they all kind of follow the same format for 3/4th view, but I’ll try my best to break down my method as understandably as possible!

1: I always start with my eye and middle line guide in whatever direction I want them facing. The middle one is more important than the original eye line.

2: Next I’ll do my head circle to keep my skull guideline and connect it to the bottom of my middle guide line to make the jaw. You’ll want to be kind of careful about this part and not just draw a gigantic circle or one that’s too small and keep it about the size you want your actual head.

Don’t worry too much about the eye line at this point as you’re mostly getting the general shape of your head at this point and can always edit your eye line later to where you want.

If you’re doing a character that has defined cheek bones (Like Vaard who has CHEEK BONES) you can do a line from the side of the head to the side of the chin like I did here that always acts as a great guide to the general area if you’re going to define it.

Make sure this step is on its own layer separate from the rest of your lines.

3: Now using your line and circle guide, go ahead and fill out the far side in whatever shape your character’s face is (angular, round ect.). It’s easiest starting from the top of your brow bone. Keep in mind your center line as this is your direct center of the face.

Vaard’s got a pretty basic, generic face shape as a base. It’s very sharp and square so I did a lot of straight lines with little to no curves to them.

At this point, it’s best to have a reference of a face in the shape you’re going for if you struggle with this step. References are your friend when stepping into unknown territory and angles.

You can also add your hair line guide as well to make sure it’s not too high or too low.

See how the circle we started with now becomes the full skull and makes up the back? This is why we want to be careful about the placement earlier and not go way out of the anatomy you’re going for.

4: Ok now for the fun part. What I like to do, is draw little Star Trek badges under the highest point of the brow you’re going for and on the far side, connect it to the cheek. This becomes your brow/cheekbone on the far side, and your inner eye socket guide on the inside. Don’t worry if they’re too big, you can always erase them later but we’ll come back to these in a bit. You just want the top to be fairly even with each other.

5: So to help line up your eyes in ¾ths view, you can draw a line from each side of the chin or nose. The inner corner of the eyes will usually sit near or close to the same line as the nostril or chin edges. (unless you’re drawing a very narrow or very wide nose, then go with the chin guide lines instead).

My original eye line didn’t quite line up with were I wanted to actually put my eyes but it pretty much lined up with the bottom inside corners so I kept it where it was.

Using the outside ‘Star Trek Badge’ just carry that top line on down and bam, nose bridge perspective!

6: Now using those badge shapes still, you can go ahead and curve your eyebrows right on top of the lines and you have your brows! This really only works if you’re going for a neutral expression though with little to no brow movement or expression.

7: From this point, it’s just a matter of adding your details! You already have a fairly solid base and anything at this point is very easily tweaked or shifted.

8: At this point you can erase all of your guide lines (which should be on a separate layer from your actual face outlines.) and if you happen to have a character with fairly deep set eyes, you can use those badge guides again to shade the eye sockets. Just shade inside them and you have some decent shadow guides.

I hope this helped some!  Sorry if it looks like most other tutorials and guides out there, but I did my best.  Remember, references are your friend when doing angles you’re not familiar with, even if it’s taking a picture of your own face just to see where shadows fall or how the nose looks at that angle! (The other eye is also the worst. I am in no position to give tips on the other eye, sometimes I don’t even draw it lol).

Bayek: When he finds your sex toys, he would blush a very dark shade of red and would spend the next few hours just trying to get his dirty thoughts out of his mind and make it obvious in front of you that there is something off with him. When you try to talk to him about it though, he would deny having any issue in a very fake-calm voice. He would ask you to try out your toys after gaining enough confidence.

Aya: When she finds your sex toys, she would both be cocky and a bit mad that you never told her you had them. She would surprise you the same night with some very cocky and naughty behavior and show you just how well she can use those toys on her partner and whatever the reason is you didn’t tell her earlier, she will make you want to have told her earlier.

Altair: When he finds your sex toys, he would immediately think of several ideas on how he can use them on you. He wouldn’t keep it a secret in front of you that he found your toys and surely wouldn’t waste time to use them on you. His favorite would be your vibrator and handcuffs and can surprise you how dirty his mind can be when it comes to sex. He would surprise you even more because of his especially dirty talking.

Ezio: He would become very cocky and devious and tease you all day about it, calling you a “naughty girl” at any given opportunity and make you blush and squeal on the spot. He doesn’t keep you waiting with his offer to try them out on you, but wouldn’t object to you offering to use them on him. Is very creative about it and and always finds new ways to pleasure the both of you.

Connor: When he first sees your sex toys, he would wonder what exactly those are for, because he has never seen anything like it before and would most likely directly come to you in hopes to get answers. When you explain to him what each is for, he would offer to try them out with a naive curiosity. 

Haytham: When he finds your sex toys, a lot of ideas would go through his mind concerning what he can do to you with them. He would then proceed to call you in his office and make it look like you are in trouble. He would playfully scold you, after which he will become quite dark and show you what he has found. Let’s just say that you are in for a rough session in his office.

Edward: When he finds your sex toys, he would wait for the right moment to tell you of his encounter and do it in the dirtiest way. He would play it cool in the beginning of your conversation until it turns in a more sexual way, until he straight out pulls one of the gadgets you were hiding from him with a cocky smirk on his face and would laugh at your shocked expression.

Shay: When he finds your sex toys, he would be almost shocked that you had been hiding something like this from him and wonder why you were hiding it in the first place. He would straight out ask you a question like “Do you think I am incompetent to use these on you?” in a sarcastic tone and end it with “I’ll show you, lass.” after which he will pull you onto his bed.

Arno: When he finds your sex toys, he would be a bit hurt that you were hiding them from him and a thousand thoughts will run through his mind like that he doesn’t satisfy you enough and you have to use toys because of that. He would be hurt for awhile and a bit reserved until you ask him about it and after some convincing that it’s not what he thinks, he will be back to his old cocky self and actually starts loving using toys on you.

Jacob: When he finds your sex toys, you’re in it for a world of teasing for awhile. He wouldn’t waste time to show you what he found in your belongings and would immediately offers to try your toys out. He teases you about it at every opportunity, but his favorite is using your toys on you. He would still tease you during the moment in the dirtiest way and show an entirely new part of himself. 

Evie: When she finds your sex toys, she would wonder why you haven’t told her you had them earlier and why you were hiding them. She would start having doubts in her skills in bed, but decides that it would be better to just talk to you instead of getting wrong ideas. After things are cleared out, she would prefer you ask her if she wanted to try out your toys.

Desmond: When he finds your sex toys, he would wonder what the hell you need them for, before he gets the idea that he could use them on you the next time you have sex. He would tease you about it before that, of course, but nothing too serious. He surprises you with the professional way he uses sex toys and you don’t believe him when he tells you it’s his first time.
