[@newsilverware5299]

I think Ross Draws is good at teaching painting techniques and shows how to make an illustration that looks nice, and they are usually fairly calm/peaceful. Ethan Becker teaches how to simplify and notice patterns, which is extremely helpful for dynamic characters who are in motion(especially in animation).

you know what. I noticed that about than not long ago. he gives good critiques to help others out in a very entertaining movieish way basically a Ethan movie universe on youtube.

[@hedfe]

meh, It's every popular illustrators main problem I'd say (yes I am generalizing) but take sakimichan, 90% dead face. Marc Brunet (founder of cubebrush), 90% dead face Yuumei , 100% dead face Guweiz, 100% dead face The list goes on~ I think that capturing an interesting emotion while keeping the character "pretty" is just harder than Ethan makes it look; especially when using a more realistic painting style.

[@nerdycurls6253]

@@hedfe it's exactly because of what Ethan said he is an animator. Our field requires alot of facial expressions, body movement, overall "life" in our work because our work is more simplified so we need to make up for it in other ways. Illustrators focus on the details and create beautiful more complex works that would usually not work if animated/modelled ect. Each field excelles in different parts of art, that's why it's good to learn from artists outside your field they will have insights very helpful to you. It is easy for Ethan because he's an animator, but Ross has his own talents Ethan can't replicate.

[@VancePetrol]

@@hedfe It's not because keeping the character pretty while showing emotions is hard per se, but because they're all drawn making svelte modeling expressions (or traced over people making them). It's fine for real life models to all make the same kind of sexy-serious expression because every head and face is unique and we've evolved to pick up on tiny details and nuances in them. It becomes a problem for a lot of illustrators because there is a uniformity to the way they approach things while lacking the detail required to naturally set one face apart from other another within their own body of work, even if their style in and of itself is very unique and distinctive.

[@jemzee]

@@hedfe i dont think it is harder. i think they are just not going for those vibes? at least with yuumei's work i know that it aims to tell a story not through the expression but the poses, setting, colours - some of her more dramatic art would definitely not work with more "expressing" faces..
