It's so frustrating when I can create a pretty cool character freehand without laying out the head in a proper 3D structure, but when I try to nail down the structure so I can draw that face from any angle, it just looks so bad in comparison. It's hard to integrate structural "correctness" with a certain superficial aesthetic that can't be "calculated", if you know what I mean...

[@valerianoiisison9516]

I have the same problem XD

[@Onnimusic]

Same

[@boser2562]

I find that if you create a cool character composition and want to draw it at a different angle its best to look at how the facial features land/ look. ignoring face shape/ structure till the features look right then re draw what looks wrong around the main features. For me at least it usually ends with a reasonably consistent character.

[@oohyah7]

You should try gesture drawing first then adding anatomical correctness. I have the same problem as you but ive found re ordering the way I draw changed a lot for me! Good luck mate!

[@lorrainedavis9219]

[@kreonomy]

Tip For Begginers: Draw the character ref sheet all on the same page! So you only have to look at what you’re doing to know what the character looks like! Then when you get comfortable drawing without the ref-sheet with you, then you’re ready to animate/write a comic!

[@Killa.tima1]

I'm having this problem right now. My character looks like he'd be simple to draw while looking at him but its hard for me to draw him over as perfect as before. His hair and facial features have to be specific for him to look like himself. He wasn't an image I had in my head he just happen to come from me spontaneously trying to draw a cool character. Ugh.

[@mausamagrawal951]

Did u complete your story? 😃

[@hoshiuno7530]

wow just wow your style is great you draw the faces in angle consistently like it was so easy. I have trouble drawing side view and 3/4 view of the face and the way you draw side view looks so easy

[@nini-zl5gi]

Thanks! This video will probably help me a lot. I always find it difficult to recreate the same character, but you've inspired me to try to master it!

[@addycool444]

nina bartens hi

[@Toffeecup]

I dont personally read your comic although I really would like to, but I really admire your style and the designs you give your characters. Ive been wanting to make a comic myself for a very long time, but its a little daunting. But the content you put out has inspired me. Please keep making these videos they really help!

[@BeMeCam]

Animators create a model sheet for a character, to help all the artists draw it consistently. This should work well in manga too. Even if you can memorize the whole design of the character it's still good to have a reference.

[@therealjaylinmccoy]

Do you ever think about doing a how to draw book at all?

[@Shabadaba1216]

You definitely have the highest-quality anime art on KZbin. Nice job, bro.

[@filly291]

I always had this "different face syndrom" but i couldnt find a single video about it (as opposed to "same face syndrom" which is EVERYWHERE) or something on the internet, so thank you, at least I have some basics i now know to keep in proportion and how to draw the same face again

[@ReliableKenny]

Whyt Manga can you do a video on how to draw backgrounds

[@kuolitee3237]

3 point perspectives

[@munchhecks250]

This is really helping. I guess I need to solidify my style a little more instead of just free handing everything and hoping it turns out nice.

[@cassi6528]

I can already draw consistent characters, I just came to watch you draw Caesar because he is a gorgeous man lol

[@MaelZack]

so basicly as long as face form , eyes nose lips, mach it should be fine?...

[@-_._-_._-_._-_._-_._-]

Ashubel Sam I would say so. If you removed the eyes, mouths, and noses from manga/anime faces, they can sometimes look different

[@MaelZack]

Pixel the Neko i guess thats main reason keeping them same

[@TeaMMatE11]

I just tried to recreate one of my characters. I cannot redraw her lol

[@donsancho6690]

You did not listen to him at all did you

[@daptosto]

Your character design helps as well. Give your characters iconic something special about them, like a scare, hair style, eyes or accessories.

[@HeyYoshi]

even though im several years late on when you uploaded. Thank you for uploading. I've been struggling with confidence as far as being able to do a character more then once and the way you were encouraging and went on within this video. It really helps.

[@RabuHina]

I used to draw like crazy when I was younger, but due to personal problems at home with a nosy parent I forced myself to stop for a while, then pick it up then stop for a long time. Recently, I got back into it and I have no intentions of stopping and been watching various videos like this (as well as Studio Clip and Sai as well). Thanks for the informative video as well as many other artists like you helping people get an idea of their own unique style!

[@HarbingerOfDeath0]

I feel like you could make a great, "how to draw" book. But your videos are insightful too, I enjoy watching and listening while I draw xD

[@shiimashemo1349]

TY I finally got my own style by knowing the shape that I should start with 💪🏻

[@Netbro678]

Congrats man... I m still wandering around in search of Oasis

[@cripsypan6140]

Honestly It's the noses and eyebrows that trip me up. I can do the classic straight nose but when I try some other shape I can't. An example is a hooked nose, I can draw it in three quarters but drawing it straight on is hard trying to keep it in the same style. I guess I really have to keep working on my art style

[@dantexd25]

What i do when i draw my characters is simply reference, when i draw them once in the way i want i continue to practice said character until i feel comfortable drawing my reference then i will always know how my OC's look

[@16JPE]

this is a problem when I draw my characters some times they look off so yeah. thanks Odunze this really help me :DD (sorry if I spelled your name wrong)

you're a great artist, really, its just that as a teacher... eh.. how do I put ths... this video is like trying to learn differential calculus with a teacher talking about how he learned it with funny notes while solving the problem but not explaining what he's doing unless its related to the story, I mean, the story could help you learning it later on since you can follow the same steps, but you won't be doing your homework anytime soon xD

[@akanerei]

all of your videos help me so much, thank you so much! :)

[@VeryCabbage]

Hi Whyt! I really like your videos, but something that keeps me from watching them all the time is the fact that your audio isn't L/R stereo balanced, so my left ear is hearing a lot more than my right. A small complaint, but do you think it's possible to fix this? Keep up the great vids and art!

[@GuidoBrink]

i just bought Apple Black vol 1! I really like your style man, keep it up!

[@lucianogaleano7043]

Literally all you said was: “draw the same eyes always, draw the same lips, not different, but the same.” If it was that easy I wouldn’t have faced troubles drawing the characters over and over again...

This Video really helped me out. Also, I didn't think about most of the things you talked about, though they seemed to be so simple. Great video, keep it up man (Y)

[@lucillefemine2339]

I have trouble not only with the features but the personality. It changes so much, even though the features are pretty accurate. Seems like that part comes from yourself, your own feelings about character traits. And I find you can't get slavish about reproducing the face because then it loses some freshness. Tough gig.
