Basic anime head structure (and basic eye coloring)

Here is a really basic anime head structure sketch. One common mistake is to extend the jawline too far to the edge of the circle. Remember that anime heads are egg-shaped, so the jawline is really small. Shorter jawlines are used for cute characters, and it's usually how I draw them, especially for Orie. I tend to draw narrow, longer jawlines for fight scenes.

The second image is a diagram for the most basic 3-color anime eye. For Orie, I would use blue for the base eye color, light blue for the bottom reflection, and dark blue for the upper shading. The white anime sparkles would be positioned according to the light source.

I've never had someone specifically point out the 'jawline too far to the edge of the circle' thing before, but that will probably help me to be more consistent/have to do less erasing Thanks for that ^^
