practice drawing portraits with me | how I avoid same face syndrome

Want to use the portrait roulette to improve your portrait drawings? Let me know!
In this video, I talk about how I draw faces that don't follow the typical ideal facial features or facial proportions - which allow me to draw different faces. By using simple shapes and guidelines, I can escape the same face syndrome, draw more diverse faces and overall improve how I draw portraits.
This is the first instalment of hopefully more videos where I practice how to draw portraits and I share the process with you as well. If you want to join me along, I can send you the video resource of the Portrait Roulette that I created! ENJOY!

I love how you updated the diagram alongside the drawing as you rolled new options. The final portrait came out so cool~

Thank you! My tutorial turned out not as detailed as I thought and looking at it with fresh eyes made me realise some details that I missed 😅

[@giggl3berrypi3]

Are you going to say that a lot of digital artists suffer from same face syndrome because if so I’ll back you up in the mobb 😂

I’d say so ☺️ I tend to draw the same face cause it’s my comfort zone, which is why I wanted to do this, so that I can challenge myself
