How to ACTUALLY learn to draw faces (3 hour art study method)

How I studied for 3 hours and unlocked the key to drawing anime faces.
I recorded this when I was sick so please excuse my voice, it kept breaking over and over so I gave up and just talked higher.
I’ll try to subtitle it when I have time!

I neglected doing 'proper' studies for a long time, opting to just wing it and slowly get better. I mean, I did get better, but it took forever. What I didn't really get about studies was that you draw a lot and draw fast, not drawing some dude and spending 30 minutes redrawing his eyes/mouth until it looks "good." The fast, plentiful drawings is what gave me some (tons of, even) improvements... literally like fighting a bunch of enemies in a game and getting EXP. There's still a ton I need to do, but I feel a lot less intimidated now. It doesn't need to takes weeks or months after all!

Hah, guilty of this myself XD

[@tenshi9029]

You are a godsend, ive been tryna refine the way i draw heads and faces and this just solidified alot of things for me

[@Sleep1ng_Panda]

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL OMG!! Not only does this help with face proportions!! This also helps with Artstyle studies and having a better "artist eye" in general!! tysm this helped me so much!!

[@cantsu]

I've not watched any of your videos in a while and when I watched this I was really really happy to see how much you've improved since last time I saw your art, it made my day, I'm really proud of you

[@Gavin-N]

as someone who has a hard time drawing faces, I think this helps a lot! thx!

[@bluespark777]

Face proportions are something i always struggle with so this video is pretty insightful

[@pieperson444]

the real lesson is that we all need an MFDOOOOOM in our life

[@Kefp_mimi]

this video is more about leveling up your drawing skills, not starting from scratch. It's like a masterclass, you know? No wonder beginners might feel lost. But let's be real, a lot of folks watching these tutorials are hoping to become Picasso after a 15-minute KZbin binge. Spoiler alert: even the pros are still grinding away at their craft. Here's the thing - newbies often think it looks easy, but their expectations are way off. A pro might spend 5+ hours on one character, while beginners think they'll nail it in 20-40 minutes. Talk about expectation vs. reality! the Best Tips = practicing this tutorial is legit awesome! It's been a game-changer for us. getting that 3D structure is pretty much the secret sauce for killer art. Wanna nail light, shadow, perspective, and composition It all comes down to understanding that 3D But here's the kicker - why do so many newbies skip this just 'cause they think they're drawing in 2D? Big mistake! That's how you end up with art that looks flatter than a pancake. Trust me, dive into that 3D perspective stuff. Your art will thank you later

Indeed

Studying for 3 hours give me the best improvement. EVEN BETTER if you take a break, and come back to it a few hours later or the day after because you really put it into your long term memory. Your brain also works hard to consolidate all the things you've learned in those 3 hours when you sleep, so it also makes it easier and you even learn more. Absolutely fantastic video, exactly what I would recommend for ANYONE, beginner, intermediate or pro.

[@Tresbienda]

You don’t know how helpful this video for a beginner like me. I always free sketching until it fits then boom! this video came and I managed to draw faces efficiently. Keep up the good work!! also oot, your arknights’s navigator moment is entertaining 💙

[@plantsareverycool]

I just discovered your channel and really like ur art :]]]] i hope to practice and be able to draw like u (btw pls make a hair tutorial!!! I’m really struggling)

[@samanthajeffers9339]

This was helpful! And I agree, spite is a good motivator

[@BrazosStarr]

Dude, I love your teaching style, your videos are something I look forward to. Thank you very much. Genuinely.

[@shivi7399]

Enjoyed this video so much, this def inspires me to go do some studies on my fav artists. Also, if it's not too much, I'd love to know the brushes/brush pack you used in this video

[@tsukinoko.]

YOU SAVED ME ive been drawing stiff ass things for months now 🗿

[@MoolsDogTwoOfficial]

I’m ready to study faces myself! Procrastination: Nuh uh! ☝️

[@anhun9012]

MFDOOM MENTIONED

[@ehyzen]

can you do a hair one? i love how u draw it

[@mihotaisuki840]

Your voice (or voice changer thing) kind of reminds me of Nahida from Genshin Impact lol (it's a compliment btw)

[@heroninoz]

Yes i have skill issue

[@etgamer16]

3:29 Breaking News: Bird Siri experiences Height loss after Face Transplant. Quite the unnatural phenomenon 😂 Farewell old mascot you were iconic, the new one is amazing as well just gotta get used to it 😅 Hope you’re feeling better from being sick!!!

[@DeL2022]

2:41 These notes are what actually helps. Why is there still no resource with notes for the face, anotomy, etc.? So you don't have to spend time creating rules for yourself that may not even work for all angles

[@BJZRE]

what brush are you using to line? i love the way it looks TT

[@budigimang688]

Ptilooo

[@BATMAN10N]

Yes, studying the human skull is all good but seriously anime faces are a wild card.

[@trudreus7327]

If only you could do some lives drawing on KZbin...that would be even more helpful

[@sillysnowboot]

woah did blender get a 2d update

[@lenaalt2387]

will you have a background tutorial

[@angelwater8987]

how do I learn how to draw faces? I am watching your video and still don't get it?

[@NoumLyye]

Study art/photo with different angle. Build a construction line to help to build muscle memory of which part goes where as in their relative distance to another. Draw A LOT of it. And you'll understand better how to draw a face.

[@arknarch3298]

This is more of how to draw the proportions of face than what i think you think lol

[@Kefp_mimi]

There's no magic trick or shortcut to becoming a pro in 15 minutes. Drawing, like anything worthwhile, takes practice-lots of it. Even seasoned artists keep at it. You wouldn't expect to cook like a Michelin chef after one KZbin video, right? Tutorials guide you, but mastery comes from your own grind. Trust me, I've been in your shoes.

[@RoseAndKitty]

I can’t study anatomy bc I’m not even in high school or smth I’m a young artist

[@arknarch3298]

@@RoseAndKitty youtube exists no? Its up to you if you really wanna dedicate to learning full human anatomy or just enough to make your drawings not look weird

[@kakomino250]

0:31 so If I understood correctly, we rely on 3D visualizing technique for this study rather than drawing with no underlying structure aka: drawing for accuracy or from intuition Please correct me if I'm wrong 😅

[@otaku_dremmur2771]

I can ask i we do this steps for 3 hours,or maybe more less time... because i cant remain so concentrated all the 3 hours

[@eliasreschiglian5228]

MF DOOM coming back from heaven to ask for art advice

[@quentinlabbe6474]

[@chisathot750]
