#same face syndrome

[the-barefoot-hatter]

people, can't believe i have to say this, Asha and Isabella don't look alike. look at the wildly different profiles! they are just both disney brown girls with dark hair in purplish dresses

Similarly, Asha does not look like Esmeralda

or even really Elena

you know who's face profile she does map over?

friggin'

rapunzel

the hair even parts in the exact same place!

c'mon disney, did you have to reuse this body model AGAIN? you think just because you tweaked it very slightly, we wouldn't recognize the same silhouette??

disney, you just did Encanto, did you learn nothing about designing female characters? You also did Raya, and Strange Worlds, and Moana-

let 2010 gooo already

Do you have any tips to avoid same face syndrome? I can tell who’s who with them having different facial features, it’s something I struggle with I would appreciate any advice.

(Love your art)

I am sorry, if I don’t have that great tone or expression though this text I am not good with words or expression. Again apologies if this comes off wrong or rude.

No worries man, I get you👍

So, the main thing I do to separate faces, is instead of starting off with a circle each time as the base of the head, I use the shape that brings together their brows, cheekbones, and chin. But the shape of the face doesn’t really mean much if you keep all their facial features the exact same, which leads to breaking down the general shape of the eyes, nose, and lips

Look at these beautiful people below. Their eyes are set into their heads differently from each other, the model in the middle has a wider forehead than the model on the left. The model on the right has sharper eyes and longer ears than either of the models. When you’re struggling with same face syndrome, this is typically the main symptom, making all the features look the exact same even if the face shape is different from your other characters.

Once you get all the technical anatomical stuff under your belt, THEN you can simplify the characters into your style. Again, learn the rules before you read someone else’s guidelines. Keeping a reference of the real life model you want your characters to resemble is also a good practice. The model on the left is actually my main reference for MK, so there’s absolutely no shame in using them when needed for your art. Punch anyone who says otherwise

Quick thing, but I'm really getting sick of the repetitive smile designs. It's one thing if it's on Alastor because it establishes a unique form of evil among the Sinners, as well as the more carnivorous, animalistic side in a man who looks like a deer, but when everyone else has the same thing, it's neither special nor creative. It also just ruins any intimidation Alastor had when literally anyone else can be as scary as him solely by smiling.

Would it be too much to ask, how do you draw your faces? / avoid same face syndrome ?

etc etc

not too much at all, thanks for the ask !

the way i think about faces is like a puzzle - the eyes, nose, lips, ears, chin, etc. being the puzzle pieces. it's a sort of "mix and match" game.

for example, these three characters all have a similar, strong nose and droopy eyes with puffed eyebags (except for azariel in the last pic), but thanks to different face shapes, body builds (how a character is built also reflects in their face) ears, hair and other details the characters can be told apart.

incorporating your character's personality into the face design is a great idea. perhaps the way they express a certain emotion is different to the way other characters do. maybe their resting face is happier-looking than another character's. the face is a big element of character design, because it's a tool of storytelling on its own.

take a look at my lucifer, for example. woah ! what the hell happened to them ? (he's still pretty though)

the face should entice, force the beholder to ask questions about the character and be curious about their story. i'm not saying every face you draw should suggest the oddest of backstories and personalities, but give each of your characters something unique to their face that would spark someone's interest.

now, i haven't exactly checked how well they stand out amongst eachother by removing the hair and the rest of the body, but i did draw a bunch of my characters together without colour on one paper.

my biggest tip is - exaggerate ! find a feature you want to stick out in your character's face and construct the rest of the face to compliment it. matching a face with the character's personality is also something you should know how to do, so i suggest doing research on shape and colour language.

it's important to take note of how faces look as people (or humanoid characters) age and grow older. wrinkles are one of the main ways i add character to ... well, my characters.

as much as i enjoy drawing wrinkles, i usually save them for "wise old" or nurturing characters. but of course, wrinkles appear on all sorts of people, especially if they have a fuller face.

(i am speaking specifically for my stylization which often strives to be somewhat anatomically realistic)

another tip is to reference life when you study ! human people have such a wide array of features you can utilize, it's amazing and beautiful ! just make sure you do research on ethnic features and when they appear on which face (unless you're going for something supernatural/humanoid, then the nose gallery is all yours /j).

also, don't drastically diversify faces all the time. siblings and family members often have similar features and it's okay to repeat them in these cases.

(this artwork is pretty old)

if your character and costume design is good, "same face syndrome" shouldn't worry you at all. avoiding this art community boogeyman is just one way of diversifying your art and adding spice to it. lacking this diversity really is no sin.

at worst, it's just going to look odd. for example, if you're so used to drawing young, wrinkle-less characters and attempt to draw an older character without any exercise prior to that, chances are this character is going to look oddly youthful, resulting in a sort of silly outcome.

but just like with everything, take your time ! changes and improvements don't happen overnight, and it takes time for you to get used to new things. with all that said, i'm wishing you the best of luck and happy drawing !

Drawing tip that no one asked for

I know people struggle with making their characters all have the same face structure so here’s something I do

Try drawing all your characters next to each other but without any defining details like eye color, hair, eyebrows. Only face shape, eyes, nose, etc. See if you can tell the difference easily, or if a friend can.

If you can’t, see what you can do to make certain parts more unique.

Example:

Heres four of my OCs, they look distinct at a glance but

Without any of those extra features, you find i used the same face shape base

So I changed their face shapes to make them easily identifiable

Much better!

Of course if characters are related they will have similar structures, and if they are twins- the same. But this simply means it’ll be easier to tell when characters are related or not.

Hopefully this helps at least one person

I was dead serious about the same face syndrome thing, I DON’T WANT IT.

Tried out a semi-different style with the second one, I love when I see “ Dot eyes ” in styles. They are so cute.
