Cheekbones;Tips on how not to do!

  *THIS POST IS NOT MEANT TOO BASH ANYONE JUST TO ENLIGHTEN & HELP OTHERS*


Cheekbone daggers 

Cheekbones are suppose to be there but you aren't suppose to say "Hey.. what is wrong with their face? They have knifes or what?". I've seen many go wrong with cheek bones on a some what perfect graphic then you get too the face and you question them "Why... must you ruin a good graphic?" I've went wrong there too! When I first started them I was like "Oh this is how everyone is doing them then maybe I should too?". After a few graphics of making horrid cheekbones I decided too do the research (like any other graphic designer should do period). Obviously I found out that they weren't long triangles on a face, We all know that they aren't because when we look in the mirror we don't see long sharp triangular daggers on our faces.


Yes that is my graphic too the left with the orange skin is another tip for later! You see the cheek bones? They are slightly bent on yet! Too triangular. Cheekbones should be curved in like you are somewhat making a kissy face or fishy face but very slightly. I could go on and on about how "NOT" to do your cheek bones but I thought I'd show you some examples;
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE GRAPHICS ON THIS POST BESIDES THE SECOND ONE TOO THE LEFT WITH THE BRIGHT COLORS. NO EMBARRASSING ATTENDED.















Ask yourself really... 
Do you wanna make medolls out to look like this?

I always thought triangular cheekbones were made so, to look fierce xD
I just want to know how should I do them if not a triangle? A half-oval shape or what?

I've always disliked the unrealistic cheek bones on graphics, and tried to make mine look different. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z_ALBDFuRSQ/TkXJwi1JAgI/AAAAAAAAAfs/Mo0ocEOnB3Q/s1600/finalspoiler.png
Everybody has their own graphic style, however. Nice post!

I like those types of cheekbones.

Actually, Cheekbones shouldn't really be very dark. Unless of course the model has very defined cheekbones, they should.
The triangular shaped shading looks like a failed attempt at Gaga's majestic horns.

Plus we all have our own graphics style. If we want to do triangular bones we can, there's no right or wrong way.
