Step Three: Jaw(line)

The jawline, the line that separates the head from the rest of the image is the most important line on the image. If it is weak the image is weak. If it is wrong and out of balance the image will be weird and out of balance. If it is too strong the image will appear too harsh. A good part of the character's personality is invested in this line so take great care to get it right.

	1. Original jawline with a projection of the rest of the head, invisible on the original image, in blue.		2. Original head with neck and head construction lines. The head has little cranial capacity (perhaps correct for Mylene...) and the face is very large. Dropping the eyes down a bit could help but the shape of the jaw is still too round.
	3. New jawline with new head shape projection in blue. (Old head is in red.)  I've trimmed a lot of the fat off of her face and made her chin pointier, very common for anime characters.		4. New head with new neck position. Original neck was offset too much to the rear. (Keep in mind where the head attached to the rest of the body - there's a spine there!) The original neck was also too thick. Most anime girls have very thin necks and they tend to be rather long as well.
	5. New head with new face construction lines. Eye level has been lowered and mouth level has been moved up a little. (Compare with 2.)
