Two things to watch out for: 1) the box is only a guideline and the face isn't flat, 2) vanishing points must be outside of the canvas for a natural effect

[@pixelpirate6]

so i should put the vanishing points like they are in the middle of two lines, right?

[@PamellaCardoso-pp5tr]

That is completely wrong. Vanishing points sit at the eye level, they represent the line of where the "camera lenses" are positioned to gice us that view angle, when you rotate an object around the space the vanishing points move around the line, sometimes going into infinity or moving towards the center.

[@yavnrh]

You are right, every rotated object will have its own vanishing points. I was referring to the main perspective for the whole scene, like in the example where there was only a box in the middle.

[@PamellaCardoso-pp5tr]

@@yavnrh even that aint really true. Actually placing the vanishing point in the scene helps into the composition. I suggest you to start picking really cool city photos with Nice Angles and Just analyzing the eyelevel and the main vanishing points. Usually you want to place your eye level either lower or heigher, usually avoiding a "central eye level". Lower makes you feel smaller as If its like looking upwards, while heigher eye level makes you feel like a giant because of How much it shrinks things close to it. The vanishing points being out of the Canvas only really affect the angles of the things in the 3D space.

[@PurelyPJ]

Cool to see how you've grasped Mogoon's perspective course and applied it to drawing anime faces senpai. This is super helpful to see as I'm trying to apply that into my art as well

[@Lilas.Duveteux]

In my personal experience, I found that for drawing young, healthy characters, geometric guidelines were easier to deal with. Drawing the skull beneath only confused my lines. However, for older characters, or characters that are very skinny, I found it best to first draw the skull, and then add flesh on top. For dark circles, the skull is a pretty poor guideline. If you have large or intense dark circles, they would extend on the cheek bones for many people, and they are mostly formed of soft-tissue, sometimes blood vassals, fat tissue or melamine. Large dark circles can give the illusion of a larger eye socket, sometimes also giving the illusions that the eyes sit lower on the face than they actually are. Situations in which the dark circles would follow the shape of the eye socket is if the person is either dead with livor mortis starting to manifest or very emaciated. In terms of visibility, they are the most noticeable on people who have medium skin tones and prominent nose bridges.

[@BlueYT27]

WHY DID YOU SAY 'i found it best to draw the skull first' thats normal BUT WHY DID YOU SAY THIS AFTER 'and then add flesh on top' WHY'D YOU CALL IT FLESH, its skin bro not flesh

[@CollectorOfStars-lu7zf]

@@BlueYT27the skin is the surface outer covering and the skin does not cover the insides completely as the muscles and flesh is under the skin so he’s clearly just saying the correct concept but he would add skin too because he’s not crazy.

[@candyvegitto1310]

I built my own style of drawing the face by studying most of the loomis method and simplified it into anime style. My style is around 70% complete and I can almost draw pretty much any kind of character from any angle with varying head shapes and facial structure depending on the age of the character.

Box method works, but is less organic. Which can mess you up when it comes to drawing the rest of the anatomy and connective tissue unless you've studied it thoroughly.

Oh my god a tutorial with actual useful information and doesn’t promote an expensive art course?! Love it!

[@KiallVunMyeret]

Okay i think i'm slowly getting the hang of drawing faces using a sphere Art Senpai: "Box is better" *Throws tablet out of window*

[@maxwellross2889]

Tell me if I missed something. I think that using a *sphere* is better than a box. I don’t mean using a circle. I mean an actual ball shape. It has the same effect of 3D, and also helps with the construction of the round skull.

[@viktorsstuff3396]

But the sphere doesn't fully demonstrate the perspective of the head, so the box is a better option

[@LowerBudgetOppenheimer]

Nah a bod only has the face looking like paper, also its hard to draw the head@@viktorsstuff3396

[@TaraHayes-l1t]

bro sed PRO YOU HAVE TO BE A GOAT AT ANIME AT THIS

[@Dark_Flame_Master]

The basic method with the circle and the wavy cross really is confusing for me. It never really worked for me. The eyes of my drawings always looked like they were drifting out of the face and were misaligned, and they had different sizes (I drew guidelines, I swear, but it looked super weird). Unfortunately I think I can’t really use the method you showed in this video on my art because I don’t draw digitally, but with pencils and paper. The lines would probably be visible after erasing, so I try to draw not too many guidelines (but still enough). But I found a method that works for me so far. It’s a variant of the original basic circle+wavy cross-method, but I don’t make the cross wavy (I don’t know how to explain it overall bc there‘s a bit more to it, but it’s just small changes that don’t really matter but make a difference for me). Edit: haha, I tried it again some days ago and it finally works for me. I know what I did wrong now: the face shape was off and I misplaced the guidelines. 😂 oopsie…

[@yavnrh]

I suggest practicing it dirty way until you can adopt the method for clean drawing with less or lighter lines. Another option is to maybe use a light table and draw on a clean sheet with reference below. Lastly, if you ink your drawing it should help make erased pencil less visible. Traditional drawing is hard!

[@Blueberrydan_]

Cant u use lighter pencils doe?

[@Dark_Flame_Master]

@@Blueberrydan_ I usually use 2H or H pencils. 🥲

[@Elgrinn]

/The basic method with the circle and the wavy cross really is confusing for me. It never really worked for me// - it's only your problem. That method is super effective and universal to all people. Circle method is super easy and understandable. ||(I drew guidelines, I swear, but it looked super weird|| - that's a problem of your weak and shaking hand, not the method.

[@nobodyspecial-ol5zq]

​@@ElgrinnIt might not be his fault the faces dont end up looking right. The sphere is not close to the proportions of the face at all. And besides that, i find that most people who use it have inhibited observation skills due to relying on it too much. Loomis was a pro with a ton of experience so it didn't affect him, but begginers end up not being able to see properly because of it. By using careful angle and color comparisons you can draw/paint anything from any angle in proportion from reference, even without knowing the structure of the object, while only using construction will result in a disproportionate mess. Construction is useful while drawing from memory, but you cant accomplish that without getting a feel for the proportions through careful observation.

If anyone new to drawing is watching this and getting discouraged, please please please, click off this video. You don’t need to know any technical perspective stuff to start, it’s mostly likely going to be way too much info than you need to know. Please don’t give up on drawing, this is just not a good starting place for new artists. Drawing is hard, but you will get better.

[@iLiveOnSolpadeine]

The author really showed off their knowledge of advanced drawing techniques impressively, but it was out of place. So impressively, in fact, that regular people who came here after searching for "how to draw an anime head" are likely to feel discouraged and close the video, forgetting about their desire to continue. It’s like if someone who decided to learn programming was, instead of being shown the basic "hello world" program, given a lecture on design patterns suitable for their tasks, project file architecture, and the necessity of using the WinAPI instead of the standard library, and so on. When really, just writing a line like `std::cout

[@Homura.Did.Nothing.Wrong.]

Yeah exactly, it’s just information-overload for new artists early on in their art journey. I really fell in love with drawing, it’s one of my favourite things to do. Seeing all these people commenting that are starting out and quitting because of this super overwhelming video really broke my heart which is why I left that comment. I think this is a great video, but definitely not for new artists, and especially not for those newer artists that aren’t feeling confident in their ability. It really really sucks seeing so many people being overwhelmed and giving up.

[@narutolover3109]

My brain hearts after this but it makes so much sense 😵‍💫😂😂

[@PartanBree]

That cube isn't isometric. It's oblique. That means only the front and back faces are to scale, the receding part is foreshortened. In isometric, you are not looking into a face but onto an edge, so all three dimensions are to scale but all the faces are a skewed shape. neither oblique nor isometric drawings allow for perspective, so your other points are correct.

ok, so how do we do it with sphere instead of cube?

[@manhcuong3035]

Sphere and cube is ok as long as you aware of the planes of both. Sphere is more versatile and faster to draw but you have to imagine a flat plane on each sides to understand it's perspective, meanwhile cube is easier to imagine perspective and easier to divide porportion too but in order to draw a cube right you have to rely on vanishing points or reference.
