If you’ve been looking for a clear example of how to draw Maomao’s face from The Apothecary Diaries, this guide should make it easier. The sketch focuses on her front view portrait, and it’s a beginner-friendly tutorial. I’d say this one sits around low to medium in complexity depending on how confident you are with clean lines and face symmetry.
Character Notes: Facial Traits of Maomao
- Large, rounded eyes with sharper inner corners
- Short-cut straight bangs and long side braids with beads
- Light freckles on the nose area
- Simplified hanfu collar around the neck
- Hair tied back with subtle cat-ear-shaped ribbon
Usually, I recommend you some other characters from the same series in this part of the article, and I’ll add the suggestions once Jinshi and others will be published.
