I am so happy to hear that it worked for you! Thanks for the wonderful comment and compliments :D

[@rachaeldunch4364]

I'm a left handed drawer who recently wanted to get back into art... I've wanted to draw people for so long, and although my portions are a bit off, you have helped me! Also, I will say that I need to practice a lot more and draw a LOT lighter, but... I'll get there. Thanks.

Why do artists use red pencil all the time? (sorry i'm pretty new at this)

No worries! Here's a video of mine that answers your question kzbin.info/www/bejne/a36ah6SjgLl8d9U

This is one of the best drawing tutorials I have seen on youtube

[@jamie5754]

I have a really difficult time shaping the cheek and jaw area. It’s alway too fat, too narrow, too high, too low, or just generally shaped strange. I wind up with not enough room for the mouth and/or really thrown off proportions. I don’t get what I’m doing wrong, I’ve followed a number of video tutorials as well as done a few art books. Anyone have tips on shaping the cheeks/jaw?

[@doppio_diavolo923]

Sorry but I have the same problem. He taught well and all but he never said how to do the ears or the hair.

[@bluebagel7849]

This was so so helpful! Most people don't describe everything well enough, but man did you describe this perfectly! I totally understand how to do this now! Thank You so much!!!!!

[@ChrisWhartonArt]

You are so very welcome :) I'm so glad it helped you understand the process and structure better :)

[@chrispi314]

Hi, just want to say thank you, you're the first I see to clearly explain drawing using physical examples. I've seen many tutorials and already draw a bunch of characters, but something always seemed of and with you video I understand what were my mistakes ^^

[@loszhor]

Thank you for the information. It's so hard to get specific proportions on cartoonish characters from videos like these.

[@ChrisWhartonArt]

Your welcome! And I know what you mean. Cartoons are sort of elastic and totally style dependent. Most of the time its good to figure out the structure behind the character you are trying to draw. What size and shape each bit it when compared to the whole, then practice it from as many angles as you can :)

[@loszhor]

You wouldn't happen to know some good references for exact measurements for "classic" style cartooning such as you would find in the Preston Blair book? Such a "Looney Toons" or "Disney" type of characters? I keep looking and all I can is partial information or they just fall back on "just draw circles". I'm the kind of artist that needs it spelled out for him but I have every intention of practicing it vigorously until I get it right. On a similar note, I am developing a free program to aid artists with studying, if you could look it over an give any suggestions for additions that you might thing would help artist practice please let me know. Link below: theflyingnest.itch.io/sketch-companion

[@ChrisWhartonArt]

The Preston Blair books are the first ones that came to mind, but I would also recommend the books Action Cartooning and Fantasy Cartooning by Ben Caldwell. They are good but even those aren't as thorough as some of the Preston Blair books. As for your program, I will try and look it over when I have the time. Thanks for dropping the link :)

[@loszhor]

Indeed, mostly it's with "fantasizing" the proportions. So much time spent on "normal" proportion but how often are characters drawing with those, yes? Thank you, and please help spread the word for it if you'd can. I'm making it to help the art community as a whole and I'd appreciate any help I could get.

[@melodymae5515]

How did I just find this? Thank you for such a comprehensive video even 4 years later I will go back to this for reference and practice drills

Hey Chris, I usually watch at least one drawing video every day. Today I actually busted out a pad and drew something along with you. Thanks.

[@jamesrautha162]

Hey man, first of all this is great, thank you so much for sharing in such an easy to follow way! Secondly (I've only started learning how to draw over the last few months) When changing up facial features - eyes, lips, mouths etc. Would you recommend looking at specific art for this or just trial and error with different shapes and sizes?

[@ChrisWhartonArt]

You're very welcome my friend! As for your question, it's really up to your particular preference of style. I think if you want to get a face to look like a specific artists style or a specific expression, your best bet is to look at how others do it and try to find out why you find it appealing and learn the underlying structures of those parts of the face. once you can break down the pieces you can put them together however you like. Good luck!

[@ipekbali6549]

I just want to point out that your faces look pretty much alike and that shows being consistent throughout your drawing and you also have your own style of drawing faces which is a thing that should be appreciated, happy for you ( btw sorry for my broke English)

[@GOBLlN]

if you want to make asian features? is the same thing for the eyes? the skull whole ?

[@ChrisWhartonArt]

Yes, everything is in roughly the same areas for every face, with slight deviations for different head shapes, jaw lines, nose shapes, eye shapes, lip thickness, etc. It takes time and practice to master these rules and keep applying them while manipulating the different aspects of the face to render different ethnicities. Its amazing how many different looks you can get while staying within this framework.
