HOW TO PLACE THE EYES CORRECTLY WHEN DRAWING A FACE

[@mack7207]

I can't explain how valuable it is to see someone in the same place as I am now, thinking all the same things

[@seraph4581]

Honestly, this tip not only helped me correct eye placement, but everything else about the shape of the face. Drawing the mask makes me see everything in 3D and how the shapes connect. Unbelieavable.

[@dorkigoddess5228]

YAAAASSSSS Dude you're AWESOME. I've been working on a drawing where the face was at an angle and I drew about 50 sets of eyes. Was starting to worry my paper was going to shred from the amount of times I erased. Tried this trick and I GOT IT. Yes! Thank you for this tip!

[@Javicandraw]

You're welcome! I didn't come up with it but if it helps you it makes the video worth it :D

[@dorkigoddess5228]

Thanks! Totally helped. I was stressed big time.

[@-scotty-6321]

Your still helping ppl out 5 years later dude thanks for the tips it helped me a lot

[@azuliblues]

First video of you I've watched, subscribed IMMEDIATELY. I cannot tell you just how much this just helped me, I feel like you just saved my life

[@dashinypunnymarsking]

omfg. I have been looking, for an explanation, of why the heads I draw looks so weird. this is the best fucking tutorial I've watched. this helps me so damn much! keep up the great work!

[@keepitdicey]

I was stuck on this one drawing and just before I went to delete it, saw this video. You're the man! That was frustrating me to no end!!!

[@tyroneperry5008]

Thanks man. This is going to help me so much.

[@kingcabbage9502]

What a great resource! This is actually a very helpful concept for animating eyebrows too, I would imagine! Thanks for making this video!

[@Skippie2]

So happy I found this! THANK YOU

[@iamalmetal]

Yes this is a great technique, i've tried and it's working for me so far but still practicing. Thank you for sharing this knowledge

[@keeblergraham211]

Thanks for posting! I found it helpful to buy a small model of a skull, and then practice drawing it from different angles. I found mine at a gas station during a road trip, but I've also seen them at hobby stores like Michael's.

[@arturliebl7248]

bro this is MARVELOUS.

[@jamesfoxbr]

Yes I have this problem with stroke in wacom tablet. You need go in the windows services tab in the Task Manager on windows and disable the "windows tablet service" (I think is this name in english, my windows is Portuguese). After this try restart and check if this skip strokes stopped

[@Javicandraw]

Thanks! I'll give it a try! I disabled the double tap on the wacom tablet and it helped a lot, but it still happens every once in a while, just not as often!

[@Aychux]

This is so far the most foolproof method for me :OO SO GOOD

[@Javicandraw]

I know! it's awesome!!!! (i didn't invent it though, but I'm glad you like it)

[@Pegatronus12]

Thank you for this tutorial. On the 3/4 face angle, I get kinda lost on how to do the eyes. The mask technique confuses me a little but I’m sure I’ll eventually figure it out.

[@ghostpotato0808]

this is very useful thank you.

javi u r the best , keep going sensie

[@Javicandraw]

Thanks :D

[@Allesea159]

About the thick strokes: it happened to me all the time and not even that long ago. I think I fixed it about 1-2 weeks ago. What I did to fix it was de-installing the old drivers and re-installing the new drivers of my wacom tablet from the wacom site. Now it does the thick lines only sometimes, but then I go to start>services and I restart "Tablet PC input service", "Tablet service pen" and "wacom consumer services" at it works fine (when you do that, it'll do the same as when you're restarting the computer, but now only for the tablet). If you have a newer tablet the names could be different though... I hope it helps!

[@Javicandraw]

Thanks!!! I'll give it a try :D

[@dreamyvisuals9181]

[@sonictailsandsally]

I discovered the mask/glasses trick by accident over the years but I didn't really consider using it until now.

[@SuperlunarNim]

If you haven't figured it out since 2016; the "thick stroke" on the Wacom tablet is because in your Wacom settings you have "double tap" on.

[@3417NATHAN]

4:11 , yeah I have a wacom cintiq, and a huge stroke happens when I go out of the software and come back. Nice tutorial by the way, really helpful.

[@viveikcsekaran1992]

Wow...thank u very much...this video is very helpful...

[@Yrenne]

yeah the "stroke" happens to me too .. I have a Hanvon tablet but still... have had that glitch forever.

[@Javicandraw]

Maybe its a windows thing? I didnt use to have it but since I had windows 10 it happens more often.

[@Yrenne]

Do you use other painting software besides Photoshop? If not, it could be a Photoshop thing too since that's what I'm using as well

[@Javicandraw]

You are absolutely right! I don't have this problem in manga studio at all, so it's probably a photoshop thing!

[@DaveBarrack]

Happens to me too. I think it's because some other app on the computer momentarily steals focus and it confuses the tablet driver.

[@Javicandraw]

One of the comments from below had it right. I had to disable the double tap as double click function on the wacom. When I was sketching sometimes i tapped too fast on the tablet and activated the double click.

[@ChrisTheSaiyanhog]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU THE VIDEO HASNT EVEN BEGUN BUT YOU HAVE ALL MY THANKS YOU GOD

[@Javicandraw]

so? was this useful?? I will have a new video on eyes today that will go a bit further into this

[@ChrisTheSaiyanhog]

Javi can draw! yes it was actually really useful. The way you research how to draw this stuff is really neat.

[@Javicandraw]

phew... thank god!!! Most of the time I have no clue what I'm doing, expecting to somehow learn something from what I'm doing!

[@jesuisbanan]

Suddenly understands why all the comic book super hero's have a mask XD This is an awesome tip though, I have been struggling with this like crazy.

[@crossed7971]

I don't get how people can make the head shape first and then put the facial features on the face. Its so hard to make both the eyes identical and put everything else on in a small space. Please help me :(

[@comicbookprodigy995]

When drawing facial features first, proportions seem to unbalance. You wind up with a bigger head than ideal for the body, and certain features can be distorted. By drawing the egg (head) first, you can then draw guidelines on the head to set the eyes, nose, ears, mouth and hair, which is what the artist did here. It helps facial features stay proportionate. The most important thing to remember is an artist's drawing is never truly finished. Keep practicing!

[@Willyoart]

Hey javi! After this tutorial can you do what muscles move in the leg and stuff

[@Javicandraw]

Sure thing!!! I might take a week off after this one, but still, That's what I'll do next :D

[@Willyoart]

+Javi can draw! Thank! 😁

thanks for the tip! I needed to do this

[@Javicandraw]

That's great news! :D Glad to know it worked for you

[@maxperegrine7055]

awesome tutorial Javi! I don't want to bother you too much with requests but after you do the one on the muscles or legs or whatever can you do one on character/shape design for making creatures kinda like Stitch or Toothless? thanks again for help with the eyes!

[@Javicandraw]

Oooo thats a tough one, i know basically nothing on that subject!!!! Ill have to do some extensive research first!!!

[@maxperegrine7055]

Javi can draw! Yeah, like I can draw Stitch or Toothless without reference, but I want to make this little alien creature that's kinda cute and kinda cool, but he has to be original. You're just so good at learning stuff, I thought I'd ask you lol

[@Javicandraw]

+OpNeu 22 its a challenge, and i love challenges!!! So challenge accepted!!!

[@maxperegrine7055]

+Javi can draw! Great! I love challenges too, and there's nothing better than a friendly competition, so I will be trying to figure it out on my own first to see what i can learn :D

[@alanp741]

4:05 Yeah...this happens with me as well but only when I'm using Photoshop. All my other digital art programs don't do that. (I have a wacom tablet)

[@Javicandraw]

Its been a while since I had this issue, I think it had to do with some "double tap as right click" cofiguration I had somewhere

[@alanp741]

Right Click is the button that is nearest to the stylus tip for me and I still had issues with it. Maybe Photoshop isn't that well compatible with the Wacom tablet because I now use Krita which is a free program(you can buy it at Steam but I don't know the difference) and I never had issues like that with that program or any other like SAI when I had it.

GREAT TIP MAN!! bring you a very small tip, dont put music, usualy almost everyone are listen their own music while draw/learn, so focus on the mic.

This is not a complaint: l thought you might be interested to know that background music, especially when one is trying to focus on words and technique, is a level of distraction for people with ADHD and other neuro-diverse types that makes it impossible to concentrate. The music competes and isn't necessary and sadly, l couldn't get past a minute. Judging by the comments, you have much to offer. Thanks. :)
