OMG that face that popped up in the beginging freeked me out xD

[@sandeeppal7154]

hi how to ink my rough sketch

[@alpha8here]

I came here from Javi Can Draw. So far, not regretting it! SUBSCRIBED! :D

[@alpha8here]

***** high five! :D

[@brant-bi8563]

Wow, positioning the circles first for the nose/eye line made such a difference for me, I used to start with positioning the ears first, but then I would have the problem you mentioned of having a too small chin for the mouth!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!

[@BabanIllustration]

ohh i used to have the small chin problem too! yeah drawing a circle helps you to understand the proportions before you finalise them, lots of poople draw noses too low and that's how i learned to fix it. np glad they're he;pful!

[@toonybrain]

You're very, very good with capturing expressions.

[@planetleafy2744]

Dont be so self critical - that video really helped me - thank you

[@rafaellewis1263]

I'm reasonable with heads and faces, but could REALLY use a video like this for bodies. Any chance one is in the works? :D Excellent channel btw. I'd donate through Patreon if you had one...

[@BabanIllustration]

I was planning on making one actually, im planning on carrying on with my components of a style series if i can get enough people to support me making it, ill go into more stuff with that

[@rafaellewis1263]

Cool! I figured heads were probs one of the more difficult things to do, so really put a lot of time and energy into that, and now I can do decent heads, but my bodies are kinda sucky. :p I'm subbed, so I'll be looking out for more! Thanks for the awesome videos, they really are a lot better than most, and I've watched a lot.

[@BabanIllustration]

aa thanks man! and yeah with all the features heads can get pretty complicated, and its usually what people learn to draw first because taht's where you look first instinctively anyway. bodies are a lot less dense and are made up of fewer shapes so it comes down more to learning placement and proportions.

[@tao863]

thks Javi can draw for shown this vid'

[@rachellane2836]

I just found your chanel and its really refreshing to a) hear someone that sounds like me! (I'm from Worksop) and b) actually see someone work thats not perfect on the first stroke!!! It's great to see someone work REALISTICALLY! ;)

[@BabanIllustration]

eyyy nice to see more brits around! and yeah nothing's perfect, it;s part of improving. this video is pretty old now and wow i can see all the mistakes but the logic is stll sound, and thee's no use only putting out really good stuff, it;s way more interesting to see progression

[@KIGAchan]

Can you do a sketch book tour plz

[@trigojr-7252]

Super simple, great for construction faces and it's super quick! . It's GREAT! this honestly helped me a tons!

[@SNESThebest]

I enjoyed your tutorial, as it gave a simple explanation and showed a good number of varied sketches and directions, along with showing the next steps as you start to ink a bit over the sketches. However, I think you need to tone down how much you shit on your sketches in the second half. It's really demoralizing to me personally to see you just shit so hard on these sketches that I would be insanely proud to have made. It really turns the entire mood sour and makes me lose motivation. I understand that artists rarely are content with every single thing they draw, but still, I think when making a tutorial like this, you should take a bit more care in keeping the mood positive, regardless of your feelings. Overall, I still enjoyed the video, but it really is a pain to get through the part I enjoy seeing the most (inking). P.S. I want to clarify, I think your commentary is useful, but your negative commentary is detrimental.

[@BabanIllustration]

you're right, this is a pretty old video, i was i was way too ready to shit on my stuff back then, ive calmed down with it in my recent vids. thanks for the comment though! i like to get ones that are helpful and go into a bit of detail so i can fix it!

[@SNESThebest]

Good job honing up to your own mistakes. If I get back into drawing, I'll be sure to check out your newer videos. Too busy to draw right now.

[@BabanIllustration]

it's a shame that that's something that's uncommon enough to be congratulated for :'> thanks, we'll be happy to have ya back anytime :D

[@yearwhiteturtle]

Yeah i dont get it how the cartoon nose curves or shapes transulate to any angle?. I think i need a book that explaines this in detail anyone any idea's?

[@Temaushi]

So helpful and informative

[@DesignzRUs1]

I STILL FIND THIS OLD VIDEO HELPFUL! 💕 Please never take it down! It’s easier for me to understand than your updated “head angles” video! THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH!

[@meflea3675]

You sound like chip flake

[@elsagrace3893]

Yes, this was helpful. I like the shoulder/collar bone diamond. Can you draw anything else? Is this what you call your style? I see youtubers who can draw just one thing talking about their "style" it seems like a very limiting thing that also stunts ones growth as an artist. But whatever.....

[@BabanIllustration]

ty! Uhh yeah i just tend to go more towards characters because that's what i'm interested in and am trying to learn, i don't post everything that i draw. and style doesn't mean that i only ever draw in it, it takes a lot of experimenting to actually come up with one, i just only post finished stuff that's stylised because it's finished, anything elses is study and me working towards developing my style. i wouldn;t say drawing in a style is stunting unless you don;t actually understand what you;re stylising. my style is wayy different now anyway, this old stuff is cringey.

[@angrybrick8525]

Any artist leans towards one way of doing their art, whether they realize it or not. That's their style, it's not at all limiting and actually helps them grow and develop their skills.

[@porkwings4376]

why is this comment so passive aggressive lol? sounds like a rich suburban mother forced to buy clothes at a flea market or something. "is this what you call a 'style'? dont you have anything else in stock?" but whatever....

[@pieterlouw9073]

This is some great advice, I've never used a diamond like that before! It's super helpful because the back vertex of the diamond marks the top of the spine/bottom of the neck, and I often have trouble filling out the volume behind the shoulders. Helps to stay loose, too!

[@abdulkarimhariri5073]

First of all thank you for your useful tutorial lessons. Drawing was my dream. Unfortunately, for several reasons i could not concentrate on this hobby. Anyway, i feel the need to be interested again especially that i am on retirement now. One thing i would like to point out. Will it be much illustrating to use a sphere with sections on it to show dimention changes?

[@feenauniverse]

This saved my life. Making the cranium it's own entity never even occurred to me, I always used the circle as the forehead. I have a lot of unlearning to do lol

[@bahtiyarozdere9303]

I saw that face :D

[@ashlyn3603]

I have SERIOUS issues with drawing how the neck and jaw bones connect with the cranium.. The angles of chins and cheek bones.. But THIS VIDEO!!! Made! Me! Actually! Identify! What! I! Was! Doing! Wrong! Before this I just knew what I was doing LOOKED wrong, or that it definitely wasn't anatomically correct... The faces looked flat, if that makes sense? They didn't have the curves and correct angles they should, and because of that my eye, ear, nose, and mouth placement was SO jacked up! But this really, really helps. Gracias ese!

[@BabanIllustration]

For what i can remember this is a pretty bad video, though admittedly do use a lot of the techniques for plotting the face still, glad it helped though! i definitely want to remake this in the future.

[@zoey101kimpossible9]

0:01 Awwwww i love her so much

[@toffuart3974]

zoey101 kimpossible holy shit this is my old account 🤣🤣 wtf I think.....yeah I think this is my old account I can draw WAYYYYY better now past me😂

[@Fairy_x7]

Thank you for making this! ^__^ my style is really different but I feel ike it helped me to draw along.

[@BabanIllustration]

np thanks!! yeah i try to keep it to technical skills that apply to everyone's style. i've seen wayyy too many 'tutorials' that are just people explainng how they draw in their style and wow yeah that's not a tutorial aaaaa

[@mariaroman5080]

This actually helped a ton. Thanks so much.

[@pokaart19]

wow thank you soo much I have been struggling with drawing faces at different angles i am just starting animation and this was a major part I was struggling to get and you explained it so well thank you

[@BabanIllustration]

glad it helped! Also lol i really need to remake this video it sso old and outdated

[@yuukiasuna8613]

This really helped me thank you so much!

[@aylamonic]

this was super helpful! thank yoooou

[@shakadillard2632]

Hey, I had an ideal for a video...what if you were to remake people's drawing (people send you their art) in your own style while giving them a critique of there work? I've seen someone do this before, but I can't remember who.

[@BabanIllustration]

I was actually planning on making that a commisson option!

[@johnnyboy2411]

What drawing program do you use

[@Julia-hk9jp]

thanks this is helpfull

[@nfrancisj2122]

Awesome thx

[@mckecklee]

[@BabanIllustration]

[@wetheck6935]

[@Bluesfed]

You were doing well until you started swearing. No need really!

[@BabanIllustration]

Ah hahaha awww that's precious dude you sound like my grandparents Btw this video sucks ass, I did a remake of it not long ago that has a lot more and better info in it kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5O8iayrhNuUmJI

[@Bluesfed]

Thanks for the update...

[@p5rsona]

I know this is free but you have not shown anything of value in this video. I am none the wiser after watching it and will still be looking for a video on how to draw faces from different angles.

[@endimios]

Nonsense.
