This makes me so happy! Thank you letting us know your path! And encouraging others! It’s a way to approach cafe sketching people too. Treat them like star fish bodies that just taper and a ball for a head. You just pose them into the different positions than add on top of that. If that makes sense. Haha I can make a video on it!

I just do it because the head wedges towards the front and towards the jaw. Having parallel lines also kills the flow and energy. So it’s good practice to point things in one direction and always have a slight wedge shape.

The term "ellipse" refers to a specific type of shape in geometry. While an ellipse might look like a "smaller circle" when viewed from certain perspectives, it is actually a distinct shape with unique properties. An ellipse is defined as the set of all points for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points (called the foci) is constant. This definition differentiates it from a circle, which has only one center point and is defined as the set of all points that are equidistant from this center point. In summary, an ellipse is not simply a smaller circle; it is a shape that has different mathematical properties and definitions.

A circle is an ellipse for which the lengths of the two axes coincide (or, equivalently, the two foci occupy exactly the same position). But that's not the point here. The point is that you're viewing the circle from an angle (except for profile view), which turns it into a proper ellipse.

Let me know what else you are struggling with and I’ll try to help!

​@@AlfieBergerI am just beginning to learn, and I still do not understand anything. Basically, I started with geometric shapes and deception, and then I will move on to the mandour. So there is an image that I still do not know what it is. I have seen many of them. There is an application. I can contact you to ask about this image, please. Is my beginning good?

Wow what an amazing and kind comment!! Let me know if I can help you in any way!

Oh that’s great to hear!! Love you brother ❤️

Oh my God, you are so nice. I really appreciate your kind comment. Is there anything I can help you with or any way I can support you and your art journey?

Most welcome!

Yeah it just trains you to draw arcs both ways. I’m doing a full circle but just touching down only on one side. It’s passed down from Disney animators. More of a constructive/animation/storyboard way to draw. Nothing is set in stone take and leave whatever does or doesn’t work for you. I just personally find the way animators and board artists draw to be the most loose quick and expressive way you can draw because they go through around 700-100 panels a day some times so you really have develop develop the most efficient short hand. And the arcs on both sides is more on encapsulation the form than laying down a perfect circle. Often they start to draw looser and more sketchier as they progress on focus less on precision and more on feeling emotion and story. So it also plays into the C S I shape design principles of drawing every line as a c s or I shape. Thanks for the comment!

@@AlfieBerger that makes sense, now that i think about it i'd like to learn it both ways... keep up the good work!

Omg thank you so much Mary let me know if I can help in any other ways!

You're so welcome! Hit me up with any other questions!

Glad it helped! That is my goal to take what I learned and present in a chunked down way and provid a worksheet to get us there. I’ve been practicing it too for a new video and I am finding it is helping me greatly too! Thank you so much for the comment!

Alberto so kind of you to say I’m no master. I’m just like you and we’re all getting better every day. If we put the work in… have a great day and thank you so much for the kind comment again I really appreciate it!

Working on a new worksheet and video now. Need a few days as I keep practicing the worksheet and finding what tricks and tips I can add to help aid in the learning process. Thank you so much for your comment!

Keep in mind proportions and you will make it out.

How can I help?

Thank you! Yeah I can’t really catch any traction with these shorts but I like making them so I’ll keep it up… maybe I need more of a story? Idk but i super appreciate you writing such a nice comment! Makes me feel not crazy haha

@@AlfieBerger lol yw!

Hello my friend I am SO SO SO SORRY I messed that up! and ALSO can't believe you are the first one to even mention it! hahah but the Link is In the description now! and also here some some direct links Free Worksheet Available Here: www.alfieberger.com/downloads Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=94486 Instagram: instagram.com/alfieberger/ Let me know if I can help you in any way or more instructional stuff you hunger for. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention I really appreciate you! honestly i get scared every time i get a comment its going to be some crazy hate so was very pleased when you were genuinely enjoying the content!

@@AlfieBerger you're welcome! Keep the good work going! Please consider making tutorials on: Human faces, ALL human face expressions! Thanks!

You're welcome!!!!! let me know how it all goes please! I think you will see it start to change your drawing!

I don’t know a method that uses cubes. If you do what’s it called? I’ll try looking into it but usually drawing with cubes gives very inorganic results. Happy to help if you point me in the right direction though!

Ok I’ll work on it. I thought RUclips did auto captions but I’ll see what’s up!

This made me feel so special thank you! I get lots of troll hate so messages like this really keep me going! Thank you so much. And let me know what other ways I can help you succeed in drawing!

This truly made me feel cherished, thank you! I receive quite a bit of negative feedback, so words of encouragement like yours are incredibly uplifting and motivate me to continue. I'm deeply grateful. Please do share if there's anything more I can do to support your artistic journey!

Super Star? Thank you! I appreciate you checking out the video!!!

Haha thank you for catching it!!!

Yeah I thought it added some entertainment value. At first it was out of necessity due to living circumstances. But now that’s its growing I was thinking I should use my own voice. I’ve recorded one video now with my own voice but it didn’t seem to make the video any better… I would love to send it your way and get your thoughts. Thank you for the comment!

@@AlfieBerger a real human voice adds connection to the audience, an ai voice create distance to them

Hey Joe thank you for taking the time to write such a nice comment! What could I do to help you in your journey? It’s there a practically subject or area that seems like a mystery to you? What is motivating you to draw? I want to make it easier for people to get into it and get on the right path quickly as possible.

@AlfieBerger Hi. I literally just started my journey about 6 days ago, so I'm pretty raw and unmolded. Right now, I'm just practicing shapes, stick figure poses, and that Loomis head exercise you put on your video. The biggest mystery for a beginner like myself would be, is there an order in which i should learn these skills so as not to develop any bad habits? Do i need to learn every skill well enough or just master a handful? Once i learn these skills individually, how do i make them come together to reveal a finished product? My motivation for learning is that I've always wanted to draw cartoons from realistic proportions and features to wackier and chibi style proportions and features. I wouldn't mind learning realistic styles, but i figured cartoons would be slightly easier and more forgiving. Once i feel confident in drawing an underlying framework, I'd like to move on to inking an outline, placing the subject in a scenario with the correct perspective and coloring. I have a humble request. Could you add more exercises in future videos? I feel that helps beginners like me to have a better grasp on the information being taught and help better internalize and understand it. Thanks again for replying and making excellent videos

You are AMAZING!

You should. I would just start with a ton of draw overs of stuff dont put a lot of pressure on your self just keep going through the steps until they are second nature :) let me know how it goes please!
