How to get Better at Drawing Heads + Faces // Japan Giveaway Winners

[@adi-qf2wb]

Can you do a tutorial on how to live

[@AudraAuclair]

Still figuring that one out myself haha!

[@benontherise6520]

😂😂😂 funniest thing I've seen all day

[@adaclark44]

you doing okay? xD

[@danielaaguilar6330]

Most artists have this syndrome that doesn’t allow us to be mentally healthy or at least not fully :v

[@TheBee1470]

oWinter Snowo Official Site I’ve never met or seen an emotionally stable artist. Regardless their age or any aspect of life in general. I think it’s just part of what makes us artists. It’s our curse. But I wouldn’t change anything tbh xD

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

THANK YOU!

[@user-oi6dw6ce3z]

You're Welcome.

[@meatloafer2762]

DrawingWiffWaffles what can I say except, "YOU'RE WELCOME!"

[@nadzinee9842]

Lol did you acually watch thisss btw i luv you channel

[@haleytetroe9827]

It would be super helpful if you could make a video like this about hands. You have this really great way of making hands look really natural, but not coo complicated! Great video btw!

[@elorinnes.9187]

Haley Tetroe ~ I was about to write the same thing. ^^ 👍

[@artbylynn3938]

Definitely would love to see something like that! Would be super helpful! :D

[@artofsue4320]

yes please

[@gabrielclements1119]

Haley Tetroe watch Sinixdesign instead

[@athii193]

Haley Tetroe yessss I was like "OO WAIT DID SHE MAKE A VID ON HANDS?" 😂

[@gremlinwithstickyhands3704]

To quote every English/art teacher I've ever had ever: "You need to know all the rules before you can break them."

[@galactichowlers637]

Wow, applause to that👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I actually just learned that today, after 16 years of drawing😅😂 Better late than never

[@kuronuma26able]

"but not like this guy this guy Is a little bit cartoony" if thats cartonny then I dont know what the meaning of anything is anymore

[@AudraAuclair]

An updated video on some tips and suggestions I have for getting better. I'm not a teacher by any means, these are just some things I wish I'd done when I was learning and they are things I do now. If you are more busy you could always do just 3 sketches a day. Also, I know I used a lot of really sketchy lines in the video but it's good to practice using longer lines than making "hairy marks", I'm still trying to get better at this myself. I added a little challenge at the end along with the giveaway winners. Love ya guys!

[@diegom-a7970]

Audra Auclair You are incredible! you should do a graphic novel Greetings from México

[@imaniwilliamson5165]

Audra Auclair ❤❤❤

[@shaunstapleton3197]

+Audra Auclair I am fascinated by your drawings, and I am inspired to be a better artist through them. I think the challenge is really something I can do to get better as well!

[@shaunstapleton3197]

Also, have you heard of Irodori watercolor paints? I bought them several years back, and I am still wanting to use them, but I don't have a lot of experience with using them... Any tips if you have used them would be appreciated! Love your work.

[@jessicaalford204]

Have you been studying Andrew Loomis a lot? I can see a lot of his techniques in this video. Looks great:) Im super excited to start this challenge.

[@pete1930]

It gets me mad that whenever someone sees me drawing and they see i have a referance photo on my phone they call it copying and they judge me for it

[@arcadejeton]

peter Garcia YOU HAVE AN IMAGINE DRAGONS ALBUM PROFILE PIC HELL YEAH

[@icuddles5080]

same :/

[@UncleKazzy]

Remember guys it's not about wishing you won but celebrating those who did. So with that said congratulations to the winners! ❤ And loved the video! It was very helpful! 😊

[@PsychoMomo]

JestersNation I love you.

[@stevennorton8960]

WOW, 8:40 talking about the basic shapes and shading just really hit home. I get what people were saying before but you made the intuitive side of my brain light up. Thank you!

[@alecxhairex]

I was just telling my partner I needed to start learning how to draw faces the other day, this is a nice little challenge for me to try and learn how to draw face. Thank you so much!!!

[@alecxhairex]

Colloquial Arts thank you very much I'll need it XD I been avoiding faces for so long that I feel is time to learn how to draw faces so I can advance with my art

[@alecxhairex]

Colloquial Arts that is very true :) I guess practice practice practice lol thanks again

[@gabrielclements1119]

alec xhairex sinixdesign is a hidden gem

[@Mayhyn]

A really good method to look at for the really basic structures and planes is the Loomis head. It's super great to use for portrait studies to get the proportions and difference in distances between features from a basic set up

[@lizwilson7219]

I literally screamed I'm so happy I stayed up

[@inbetween7328]

I used to have this professor in a figure drawing class who taught us, the students, the 'skeleton in the box' proportion thingy, and I thought it was so cute when she'd watch us draw a skeleton in class and say, "isn't it so satisfying when your drawing hits the borders and your drawing fits perfectly in the box?" Your advice is superb, and I appreciate you sharing! I love your art and vids :)

[@piedesinistro8861]

like how i was just messing around in school and learned a lot of tricks on how to draw eyes and hands, practise is a word that i now understand

[@rosa4597]

This video really helped me a lot! I get so frustrated drawing different angles so I just stick to drawing them front view but this video makes want to practice more. Thank Audra ☺️

[@CharliePangus]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial.

[@hk284]

the biggest wining is to watch and learn from you♥️...btw i miss your videos when you do fast drawing, hope to see more of them soon

[@alliec.3909]

I would go to a convention just for the sole purpose of seeing you in person and buying your art at the same time it would be a dream

[@rewyndmakes]

This was super helpful, I might have to take part in your monthly challenge -- a follow-up on hands and/or composition would be awesome too. And congrats to the two winners!!

[@Franci_dove_edwin]

Oh my gosh thank you sooooooo much I literally have days where the face comes out so weird and other where the face comes out perfect plus my angels are always a bit off this helped so much thanks

[@clockbirds]

thank you so much for sharing these lovely tips

[@elisakonop7572]

This was super helpful, I struggled with shaping, shading, and perspectives that just by drawing and practicing what you did here I can tell that I've improved! Thank you!

[@exhaunted2158]

I'm so exited to try this challenge!! As soon as finals end I will definitely attempt and look forward to learning!!

[@whimsicalvictoria]

Congratulations to the winners!! Also great tips and suggestions Audra! ☺️💕

[@bbyfeather]

This is one of the most helpful videos I've seen on youtube! Thank you! I hope you continue this series

[@gabbyvrielle5138]

Aww didnt make it 😂 but thank you for the video! I needed this tutorial so much!

[@meganb3879]

This is without a doubt one of the most helpful drawing tutorials I've ever seen on KZbin, thank you!!!

[@honeydewmela4504]

Didn't win but so happy for those who did! Although I am super bummed I missed out on your Japan sketchbook, I am hoping sometime in the future you will release another sketchbook! Prints are amazing, but there is something just so special about having a book with all the sketches/art to look through. Thank you for this helpful video! :)

[@aarondobbs7759]

Wow, the way you presented this tutorial matched perfectly with my style of learning, thank you so much! You're incredibly talented (obviously) and I'm honestly amazed that you basically just laid out the answers to all of my major inquiries regarding advancing as an artist and getting better while drawing faces/heads! Instant sub!

[@adrianagarcia7024]

I'm going to end up trying the challenge but I won't share it. I think it's the perfect way to get better especially since I just started drawing. Thanks for the tips!

[@veronicamg2488]

súper useful tutorial ❤ I always have problems with drawing noses specially, so I will try some of this tips for improve that!

[@VeronicaNies]

Verónica MG i dont know why but i just read your comment in a french accent

[@dianasmith9656]

Veronica Nies I read it in a British accent SMH

[@kadenmorris3108]

Congrats to the winners, and thank you so much Audra this video helped me so damn much!!!!!!!!! I'll definitely be posting my 1 month challenge after I finish moving and get my art area set up!!! ☺️👍💖

[@laurabejaran4901]

Thanks so much for uploading this vid! I've been doing the while "being an artist" thing for significantly less time than most people I consider amazing artists, so it's a bit of learning curve, but this reminded me that I need to take baby steps. I'm trying to practice a bunch now and using up my sketchbooks for practice. I have so many sketches of skulls now but I kinda love it 😆

[@ginar4518]

Omg just listening to your voice and watching you draw gives me so much inspiration! Plus I always feel so relaxed!

[@TheDreamadiva]

I love this video. It really helps. I've been looking on videos to guide me on drawing and yours is the one I liked the most. Thanks!

[@IMALUCKYDUDETDUCK]

Your videos are probably the most helpful to me out of all tips- thanks for making them :)) love you and your videos!!

[@SavaSosa]

If you are feeling super generous perhaps you could upload your Japan sketchbook as a pdf to purchase? I just really wanted to see them all! Just an idea, if you wanted it to be exclusive I totally get that too. But yay! I love videos by Professor Audra lol, definitely gonna start the challenge! :) Is this in place of May We Draw Daily?

[@colourseekerful]

Sava Sosa there's a pdf on her Patreon! and it's high quality too. 😊 Her Patreon is under the same name- 'Audra Auclair' ☺

[@SavaSosa]

Thank you! I didn't know, definitely gonna check it out! :)

[@auebel3]

I love your pastel yellow phone case! Also, I'm definitely going to try the challenge. Thank you for the tips, they are really helpful.

[@HeatherRoot-Art]

Congrats to the winners! Thanks for the video, I think I'll take you up on the month challenge ;)

[@CravenWolf1986]

Between you and Rambutan Illustration, I feel like I'll be slacking if I don't use some of my vacation time next week to practice the basics, again. I'm glad to be feeling inspired to draw again, at least. Maybe I'll try the challenge.

[@themarytomashow]

Thank you for this video Audra it's so helpful. Can you make this a series where you show us anatomy and poses next?

[@leafpool4480]

Ur sketches are so organized i'm jealous XD. I wish I could get to your level someday

[@leafpool4480]

It would be really nice if you could do a figure drawing vid XD.

[@scart8571]

Every time you upload I get so excited. Your content is beautiful and your talent is outstanding.

[@TheRealMythril]

Very cool, the muscle on the skull must change the out come from just using a skull as basis too, but it sounds a good place to start.

[@laura-gv1fr]

When you announced the winner i wasnt watching the screen so when you said lora i had a heart attack lmao,, congrats to the winners!

[@madilynbenito71]

laura z jiminnnnnn

[@ДавайтеЖитьВкусно-з2к]

[@daphinie_]

Love the feature breakdowns! Can't wait to take on the challenge when I get home!

[@VioletGlitterworks]

Great video!!! 😍👏🏼 I love the exercises that you came up with. They seem extremely helpful!!👌🏼 Congratulations to the winners also!!! 💖

[@raikuadraws]

Oh gosh, This video is INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you! I always feel like faces are my weakest subject to draw, and this video just helped a lot in wrapping my mind around it. I'm definitely gonna do the #1monthmug challenge!

[@fireferna]

Amazing video, just got bummed because I was looking forward to winning your Japan sketchbook :( but you tutorial cheered me up

[@goat4715]

I like your calming voice, it made me want to watch your videos.

[@KatyMartino]

This video vas very enjoyable and helpful! It was nice to see you sketching.

[@scribblesbybrittany]

I really love this! I've always had a trouble with drawing heads and wanted to get better. Thank you! You are an inspiration!

[@shadowseer07]

also you do really good tutorials! you gave a lot of info others miss. something about shading would be really helpful, I'm really struggling with it.

[@miriams.3988]

Thank you for saying "use references" most times ! It helps a lot LOL , otherwise I wouldn't have really paid much attention to the sentence-- "use references"

[@MrSouthvalley]

this is exactly how i was taught back in my schools years now i actually wanna get back into it to keep my mind occupied.

[@Wat.]

Oh yes I've been looking for videos like this! Thank you 😀

[@5Momijichan5]

I did it for one month, I'm def gonna do it again feel like I'm missing something. Thank u

[@corintia13x]

I really love an enjoy the quality of your videos, you're a great artist and sooo lovely♥

[@lottevanloopik4337]

This was such a helpful video. Thank you so much for indirect helping me 😊 Oh and the faces you draw are amazing! 🌸

[@shadowseer07]

thank you Audra! you are my role model.💕

[@tylerjoseph2238]

I TRIED AHGHHH I HATE MY LIFE NOW SMH BUT I DONT BC YOUR VIDEOS ARE LIKE ACTUALLY HELPING ME LIVE OWO

[@philippruizlozano]

This has been really helpful. Thanks for doing this🙏🏼

[@meganslater5421]

Thank u for the challenge. I know this is from a while ago... but eff it... Imma do it! 😆😆

[@rosieroo538]

I really love this video, it was incredibly useful. I've been really working on my fundamental drawing skills lately and even though I used to be able to draw from photographs in a hyperrealist style it's absurd about how little I actually knew about shade, form, perspective etc., it was like I was completely dependent on the images for that information and never actively thought about what I was doing. Working in the way you demonstrated is soo beneficial I really wish I knew this stuff years ago. Also you're a really good teacher by the way, I'd love to see more tutorials like this - you're good at teaching how to think and approach things. I'm going to stop rambling now, as I sound like a complete sycophant, but I just wanted you to know how much value this video brought to me this morning! :)

[@monapurplepony5381]

You're so talented ! I follow you for so long and I'm so proud of you 🙏🏻💜

[@craziiart5809]

Congrats to the winners and great video!

[@vi2561]

[@iwantadogorcat]

Seriously, you can totally make a series of "How to get better at ..." !!

[@DMMeow]

So helpful, thanks! And the challenge at the end especially.

[@Wilson-zk7qe]

[@UGLYFLEUR]

[@EerybodyIsAnnoying]

Your voice is so calming.

[@alibongo9992]

feel like week one is a bit of a cheat week for me because I'm a fully qualified forensic anthropologist (I know the human skeleton very, very well) as well an artist. But I'm sure I can find a way to make it challenging 😍

[@skelarton6672]

Now draw them upside down with only liquid white out on black cardstock xD

[@alibongo9992]

Skelarton Bahahaha! Yes! excellent twist! *goes to find my black sketchbook!*

[@dianasmith9656]

Skelarton I'm dead

[@MalamikArt]

Great advice! I shall draw skulls now. lol Congrats to the winners!

[@mayflygaming6356]

I'm not sure if you'll ever read this maybe, some you-tubers don't really read all their comments on their videos but i just wanted to let you know your my favorite artist and i use your art for reference all the time and i really love your art :) I always have trouble finding my own art style i guess its cause im young (14) but your art makes me a better artist :) your awesome thanks for making videos and art

[@eutony30]

[@angel4863]

THAT'S VERY HELPFUL OMG THAAAAAANK YOUUUUUU

[@pluspluus]

Wow this was really helpful! Strangely enough drawing skulls is really fun for me xD

[@MintyCow101]

Definitely wanna try this!! I really want to improve my art .

[@thaisminaknnedy1065]

[@JaneDanslajungle]

[@zvlyt]

Wow I juts found this channel and this video is one of the most helpful I've come across yet. I also have a lot of trouble with perspective too - I gotta try out the cube tip! Can you make a video practicing this method more?

[@eversophlyy4027]

Thank you for all the great tips!

[@graysontheovercomer]

You have great skill, a kind voice and lovely tattoos. This was a pleasure to watch. Thanks for posting, I have been learning for a year and this is very helpful. Also, the tattoos.... and the voice! Can I clone you and have a version of you to get coffee with and talk about the weather? You have a calming presence about you. You know what? This came out way weirder than I intended.

[@jauzamaryammumtazah1470]

This helped me a lot, thank you so much! You're an amazing artist! I'm definitely subscribing ^^

[@wowthatsfunny2418]
