[@leighfoulkes7297]

In a Stefan Baumann video on KZbin, he claims that the most important part of the face is the eyes. When people look you in the face, the first place they will always look is into your eyes. He always states that you only have to have one perfect eye as in that you can only focus on area at a time.

Now take a picture of Elisabeth and use someone else's eyes, Natalie Wood or Catherine Zeta Jones for instance. More often than not people will say, "Elizabeth looks funny." Just sayin'

[@robbieboydudeguy]

This is a great way of helping beginners and making sure you don’t give up on a drawing. Alongside this, though, I want anyone following this advice to keep in mind just what stands out to you in the reference at first glance, in your peripheral vision, or what it’s doing in your memory. If the reference picture has a straight-edged crisp look you should ask yourself _why_ it comes across that way. Maybe it’s the way the nose points upwards or how the brows are raised and pointing the eyes forward, maybe the shadows are chiseling down the actual structure into something else. Whatever it is, it’s important to recognize what your first impression is and study why it is, because you can’t keep measuring every angle and every point of distance-you’ll go insane! And if something doesn’t look like the reference and it makes you frustrated, this is a good way of trying to find out the _why._

[@jordan4835]

what if it's something in my mind?

[@jordan4835]

what if it's something in my mind?

[@robbieboydudeguy]

@@jordan4835 This same rule can apply! Whatever you imagine will still have some key elements you’d like to include, and sometimes those may be just the emotion they convey or personality they allude to. Usually working on it from the foundations of shapes helps me through something purely imagined, like evaluating what a different angle of a smile could do to the rest of the face and vice versa in a game of trial and error. At the same time, I highly recommend finding reference first when drawing if you feel as though your connection to proportions and realism needs strength. Making sure you can draw someone from reference first is a certified way of improving your art so you CAN work on a piece solely from imagination. Other than that I say just experiment until you find the groove of what’s right

La mejor forma de practicar y mejorar tu dibujo es: 1. Coger una referencia 2. Deconstruir la referencia, simplificar el modelo con figuras geometricas y una especie de cuadricula para cada figura. Los puntos de fuga son bastante importantes tambien para darle dinamismo a la pintura 3. Repetir, repetir, repetir Eventualmente, con tanto dibujar, encontrar perspectivas diferentes, y observar como funcionan las sombras en diferentes superficies, tendrás autoconfianza y podrás pintar todo lo que quieras Pero este no es el punto final, eventualmente tendrás que estudiar teoría de color y valores para hacer tus obras más vibrantes y consistentes.

The one thing I heavily struggle with is symmetry.

[@PartanBree]

You may be trying to run before you can walk - even very experienced artists find symmetry difficult. It's like the old "I can't even draw a straight line" - well, neither can anyone else, without a ruler. If I were you, I would abandon symmetry for a while and work on subjects and poses that don't need it. Full-frontal symmetrical portraits are a bit boring, it's more interesting if the head is turned a little. Loosen up and stop worrying if it's symmetrical or straight or perfect. And you know what? Faces aren't remotely symmetrical anyway. Take a selfie, mirror it and compare. You'll be surprised how asymmetrical you are!

[@kylegaspar6081]

I struggle in symmetry it's really hard my tip is don't be hard to your self I tried digital drawing and saw mirror and I used it and I got to say 2 MUCH SYMMETRY IS WEIRD ps your face is not symmetry Try this make a grid search it on KZbin for more info grid helps me slot and when you use it eventually you can doit without a grid hope this helps and I'm so sorry if I suck at english it's not my native language

Yessir, starting with a simple structure that accounts for the major landmarks and planes of the head will help the drawing maintain the proportions necessary for a realistic final product once the later stages are applied. It’s not an easy path, but a very effective one if one sticks with it. The alternative, in my experience, is trying to pin everything down without a frame of reference, which can lead to small, subtle misplacements without any roadmap to trace back to where exactly things didn’t come together.

when drawing, people tend to soften out features of a reference, even unintentionally. i find it useful to identify anything that's unique- the shape of the eyes, the length of the nose, the height of the cheekbones- and almost caricaturize them when I draw. almost every time, when I come back to it later, it's never as extreme as I thought it was when I drew it.

[@felixnietoes]

Gracias, es súper útil. No había pensado que podría cambiar tanto el dibujo final con las estructuras, ni que esto es lo que le da más grado de realismo o cartoon a un personaje.

[@xecnovers8653]

esas son bases de como proporcionar mejor el rostro, porque tambien influye el sombreado y otras cosas porque si te das cuenta en el primer dibujo que hizo le puso menos detalle que al ultimo

[@gonzaex]

Te felicito porque me acabas de explicar lo que ningún profesor de dibujo me enseño en toda la secundaria, lo único que me ponían a hacer era dibujar frutas, figuras geométricas y demás sin siquiera explicarme las perspectivas, los planos, el claroscuro,etc. Muy buen vídeo

Este consejo es aplicable a tantos campos... Los músicos a veces creen que ya no necesitan el metrónomo, o afinador, cuando da igual el nivel te van a facilitar la vida y mejorar tus resultados. Incluso en la vida, en las relaciones, seguir siendo agradecido, comprando regalos en navidad y dando perdón y compresión, son cosas sencillas que sabemos que nos darán un camino más bello, pero que por alguna razón a veces dejamos de darles importancia. Da igual que creamos que ya lo saben. Seguir diciendo TE QUIERO y GRACIAS son las líneas guía de nuestra vida que no debemos pasar por alto con el tiempo.

I can't put my finger on exactly why, but the last sketch looks kinda baby-faced compared to the photo, like it's a younger version of him.

[@GabrielsLogic]

I think the face is rounder in his drawing.

[@cacera477]

I think its partly the rounding of the face. And the less prominent jaw. Plus the lip is higher are collected at the nose.

[@GabrielsLogic]

@@artofnature7153 thanks I definitely asked for this lol

[@voldemortsshampoo4551]

It's the nose and the eyebrows mostly.

[@relevo86]

This is actually quite interesting, because I have seen a study that focused on exactly this. People were shown three pictures: one of a boy's face, one of the same boy's face but slightly stretched to be longer, and one slightly stretched to be shorter. They were asked to point out which one seemed the youngest and which one seemed the eldest. The majority found that the longer the face, the more mature the boy looked. It's also of course true for most people that as they mature, their face gets slimmer. Quite interesting!

[@laura79613]

Oh my gosh, this makes sense. I know the exercises and the proportions but I don't apply them. And mostly because: 1. I don't know how to or, 2. I just go off the thought of 'Yeah, yeah, I know' and don't need to do them, or 3. sometimes I do find it tedious to measure every single thing and be accurate. I especially don't know how to apply perspective yet I know how to draw the vanishing points and the lines. Ahhh, there's so much I need to do😵‍💫😵‍💫 Thank you for the advice.

Das unos excelentes tips y concejos de dibujo. Te admiro! Pd: Soy solo yo o ustedes también ven a un Leonardo DiCaprio "joven" en el dibujo número 3? U.u

[@gabdp]

Te quedó con mejor estructura en el tercero pero tienes más ojo para dibujar de vista porque las proporciones de barbilla,mejilla y nariz son casi parecidas a las de la foto de referencia. Es decir, la primera imagen se ve mejor que las otras 2 en proporción aunque los típs son muy buenos para pasar el dibujo.

[@gretathunberg8038]

Que es proporción en dibujo

[@neru9895]

@@gretathunberg8038 por lo poco que se las proporciones es el tamaño de ciertos elementos de nuestro dibujo en relacion a otros elementos. Por ejemplo, imaginate que dibujamos una mano. Definimos que el grosor de los dedos de la mano sera de 3 cm (por poner un ejemplo) y luego, sin darnos cuenta, uno de nuestros dedos en el dibujo mide 6 cm (mas grueso de lo que habiamos definido). En ese caso, estariamos hablando de un dedo desproporcionado, puesto que ese dedo de 6 cm no respeta las proporciones de nuestro dibujo (es decir que en relacion al resto de dedos, ese estaria mal proporcionado). En resumen, las proporciones son las relaciones de tamaño entre los distintos elementos de nuestro dibujo y la fidelidad con la que los representamos.

[@gretathunberg8038]

@@neru9895 y si tu intención era dibujar una mano deforme, sigue siendo desproporcionada o bien hecha ?

[@neru9895]

@@gretathunberg8038 el concepto de bien hecho o mal hecho es relativo a lo que tu quieras hacer. Si tu intencion es hacer un dibujo desproporcionado a proposito, estara perfecto siempre y cuando quede como tu deseas. Las proporciones se suelen utilizar para generar imagenes coherentes y fieles a la "realidad", es decir que se utiliza para que la imagen tenga un cierto sentido y relacion entre los tamaños de sus elementos. Si tu buscas romper estas proporciones intencionalmente esta perfecto, pero si estas dibujando realismo o algo semejante, las proporciones son las que permiten que la imagen se vea coherente y "armoniosa". Tambien se me escapo destacar que las proporciones van de la mano de la perspectiva, y por ende, dependiendo de el angulo, la distancia, la inclinacion y otros factores, los tamaños cambian (pero manteniendo la proporcion). En resumen, las proporciones le dan coherencia a la imagen, hacen que todo se vea en su sitio y que nada nos chirrie por como fue dibujado, pero esto, como todo en el arte, es una regla que puedes perfectamente romper a proposito, siempre y cuando seas conciente de lo que haces y porque lo haces...

[@enriquitaundc2235]

@@gretathunberg8038 Si tú pones un dibujo bien proporcionado y le pones en el otro lado de la simetría (esto digitalmente se hace muy bien pero no sé cómo se llama a eso técnicamente) el dibujo queda simétrico. Sin embargo si no está bien proporcionado al hacer la simetría se nota muchísimo las desproporciones. Tiene que haber vídeos por ahí que sirvan de ejemplo porque yo no sé explicarlo bien ya que no tengo los conocimientos. Lo sé porque soy curioso y me gusta ver todo tipo de cosas y un día estuve viendo ese tema. Cuando hablo de simetría es cuando coges esa cara y tal cual está la pones mirando al otro lado. Para hacer una línea "imaginaría" en el centro y dos dibujos "simétricos" a cada lado. Si haces bien las proporciones sale simétrico y eso a primera vista no se nota al menos no para gente que no está entrenada

[@DanGabrieldS]

Todos diciendo cosas cómo “Qué útil” o “me ha ayudado mucho” y es exactamente lo mismo que te diría cualquier persona en cualquier otro vídeo básico de dibujo con un mínimo de calidad. La gente que está aquí sólo lo está por el título, es decir, están aquí porque no quieren escuchar lo que realmente tienen que aprender o hacer porque les da pereza. No hay trucos o atajos para mejorar, el camino es largo y difícil lo mires por donde lo mires, dibujes lo que dibujes, ya sea cartoon o realista, hay mucho que aprender y mejorar siempre. El canal no es un mal canal y lo que se ha dicho en el vídeo está bastante bien, sólo me sorprende la cantidad de gente que dibuja y quiere un secreto, truco, o un algo que mágicamente mejore tu arte.

@@foxdie8106 He dicho ahí, en mi comentario, que no es un mal canal y que lo que dice en el vídeo es correcto. Lo único que digo es que me sigue sorprendiendo que la gente siga buscando cosas como un "secreto" o un "truco" que de repente haga de tu arte algo genial.

@@dishigawaa8480 Eso lo sé más que de sobra, ya que lo he experimentado de primera mano a lo largo de mi vida.

The last one looks nice! Though it does puzzle me how much effort you put into the final work on light/shadows, while completely ignoring how your reference actually look in the eye section. It is like on this specific area you primarily drew from memory of how an eye should look, and didn't look at the reference anymore.

Largely in shadow on the reference I guess.
