I have "Always different face" syndrome. When I create a character I can never draw the same face in each drawing. It's always somewhat different.
Omfg this is also PAIN
@@samdoesarts 🥲
Frfr😭😭
This is so me. What helped me tremendously is having a character design sheet to reference from, it turned my different character art from having a 40-60% likeness to an 80% likeness to how the character is supposed to look

Sam always talks like a depressed grandpa and I’m here for it
Very accurate
Spot on description
@@samdoesarts agreed 💯
Bro grandma literally said "no bitches"
I guess asians don't age
Fabulous advice, as always.
Thank you so much Scott!
hi scott!
Hi Scott!!!!
Love your content as well Scott! Great to see you here too :D
hi scott!!
"A lot of times in my experience, people who don't draw, people who don't do much art, tend to find the realistic stuff very impressive. But if you're an artist, once you've mastered realism; there's always that next stage, there's always the stage where you can push your own stylization. You can push your own unique voice."
Very well said! Wise words from an old wise man👏🏻🧠
now why did he say that the second i started reading this 🧍
@@HopeIsADrug11037omg SAME
@@sael5084 oh, haha ☺️
someone being comfortable and dynamic in their own unique style has got to be the most impressive thing 😭
yeah realism is cool, it’s difficult, and it takes skill
but being able to claim ur own style without it being a metaphorical wall in ur journey is my dream
Hardest thing I`ve ever done was starting to sketch. To trust big lines to tell the story for me. overworking every single detail is time consuming but not talent.
Sam is the definition of responsibility and takes feedback very well
this is why I love him and his work
Responsability of what exactly
@@jesussojo7820Maybe it's about responsibility to his fans. He was criticized, the fans noticed, and he responds in a neutral way with the video. He's an internet personality and people expect a response from him.
Or it's about the responsibility to himself to grow.
Or it's about the responsibility to show his fans (maybe especially the underage ones) that you shouldn't always see criticism as a personal attack.
Maybe it's about something else entirely, but this question of responsibility seems a bit passive-aggressive.
I think it's good that you are acknowledging this and trying to improve instead of just ignoring criticism. Also, I hope you're doing well because the amount of mean post I've seen making fun of you for this is crazy some people take it way too far.
imagine being bella ramsey and seeing someone who has the ability to draw your costar perfectly draw you with the face of a barbie doll LOL
@@dvjoyxx6422 I don't think Bella would give a damn
@@erins.b6739She does tho, she said she doesn't want to let hate get to her but it does. I know this isn't hate but I can see how they could see the drawing and think she's not pretty enough to be drawn how they actually look, especially since pedro looked like himself
1ked you lol anyway it's annoying when someone ignores the criticism and puts that criticism as 'hating' when you need to understand the difference 😶 it's good to see Sam isn't one of those and tries to improve more
An an artist myself, It was a rough watching people pick apart your art for that week. But I think you handled it beautifully. Thank you for showing people you can take a bad experience like this and learn some new skills to teach others. Amazing improvement!
It was sad because everyone blew way way out of proportion simply because he has same face syndrome like so many others.
YES, it was rough for me too, like I had to endure seeing people criticising him. LIKE why not let people draw what they want or comfortable with. people just find ways to judge other when they're not perfect themselves.
@@vkiwixii3426 people even have the audacity to call him a pedo or a creep. Like they really doing too much, I feel bad for him
@@wangxian7313 i think ppl were just put off with how he talked about drawing girls and drawing ellie in the tweet but they probs just misinterpreted it bc of the phrasing. its not that he's attracted to every single girl he draws, he just implements the qualities of what he think an attractive girl looks like in every drawing bc that's what he got used to
@@stonks5909 it’s kind of different when he was redrawing a scene from the show featuring real people, capturing Pedro Pascal’s likeness perfectly yet still drawing Ellie the way he usually draws girls and (in his original) not even trying to capture Bella Ramsay’s likeness. He did address that specifically, and the fact that Bella has gotten a lot of shit for her looks. It was kind of disrespectful to her, and that was one of my main issues. Sam handled it really well though and I respect him not just as an artist now but also as a person who owns up to their mistakes. I hope the actors see his art and love it!
Oh no.. I have same face syndrome in my art!!
but on the plus side its easy to draw and iconic 😼
😆
Same
😂😂😂
Not everyone has the guts and humility to acknowledge they've been wrong and try and improve themselves. I think that's the reason why you came so far, because you didn't settle, you kept searching and improving and questioning yourself. That's what AI won't ever be able to do. That's the kind of passion that defines a true artist.
Also stop calling me a baby, we're the same age dude😒..
😀🌱
what did he do wrong?
@@MightyMan64 they mean admitting his art mistake of same face syndrome, and trying to improve on that. Like he talks about in the video!
"You've been wrong " uh ? Dude was just drawing what he enjoys, like every other artist out there, the only people who think that is wrong have a weird sort of cancel culture illness thatt needs a good dose of "mind your own fcking business".
(He's calling people art-babies because the vast majority who watch his videos are realistically that far from his skill level)
@@MightyMan64 He posted fanart of tlou and made ellie look the same as his default girl face (for the lack of a better term) while having joe look like a stylized version of himself and he got criticized for it
Because he's been bullied to the point where he deleted one of his posts on Instagram.
I found it quite disgusting that people on Twitter were saying why you drew faces like that was simply because it was the type of face you were attracted to instead of the obvious reason that an artist may draw the same face again and again out of habit and ease, it was so weird seeing people on Twitter accuse you of weird shit when it’s just same face syndrome
Twitter will be twitter 🤣
Exactly?? SOO many ppl were sending death threats via tiktoks and were justifying it by saying they were just "hating on his artwork" and outright calling Sam a p3do. Thats so fucked up
And, their logic could apply to wlop and guweiz. How the hell aren't Twitter users going after them but Sam?
I mean he kinda did do that one tweet I think or snap? Where he said he draws them the same bcs he’s attracted to that face and shape and in that msg he also said he drew men differently bcs he didn’t care about them. I’m glad he took the feedback well and that he’s doing great.
@@velpixel1100it was basically hate completely like wth 💀
What I really like about Sam is that he is not hiding or trying to show us only the perfectly polished results. Obviously, he nailed all art in this vid, but I truly enjoyed watching him learn something new :)
bruh it is so genius to turn the twitter drama into an educational video for artists. Like this is golden content right here
I definitely have same face syndrome. I keep gravitating to features and proportions similar to my own cuz its easiest for me 😭 but that’s exactly why I’m so bored with my work so I’m gonna keep practicing! :)
Props to u for recognizing it !!!
glad hes finally acknowledging his mistakes and fixing it 🤞🤞
We dont run from responsibilities here
What mistakes? Just because you personally don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s a mistake. There’s nothing to fix, that’s an readjustment, not an improvement. He wants to improve for himself then that’s good for him, it requires a thought and human processing, he’s not a doll or an AI robot with a malfunction, dunno what you meant by “finally.” He’s not acknowledging a mistake and fixing it,he’s acknowledging room to grow and growing.
@@AneXineohp it's an improved adjustment, so I think that can be called a mistake (no need for an entire essay for it dam-)
@@AneXineohp u good bro?
@@AneXineohp he's acknowledging a mistake and fixing it, no need to sugarcoat the truth. Contrary to what you're saying, I think Sam's art is beautiful, that's why it has a lot of likes on Instagram and why people come to him for advice. But at the same time there's no denying that the way he draws women's faces tend to look very similar and lacks any differentiating features. You can like an artwork while still recognizing its flaws. And you don't need to paint all criticism as coming from a place of hate.
I typically draw animals only, specifically cats, and I’ve just noticed that even cats have different face shapes, muzzle sizes, fur textures, eye sizes, nose sizes, and much, much more! Thank you for this video. It really has inspired me to go do better.
vERY UNDER RATED COMMENT! Dude, what u have experimented on is something very intruiging!
I love the characters in Attack on Titan. A lot of Anime rely mostly on hairstyle, haircolor and eyecolor to differentiate the different characters all having the same face. In AoT you can recognize them without hair, just by their face which makes them so much more believable while still being stylized
please tell me why I always get so excited when sam posts
'Cause him and his artworks are beautiful (I'm a simp)
Because he’s a likable person with likable art you’ve come to admire and adore the work and content of (I’m not projecting, I’m relating, because I’ve waited all week for this as you did :))
@@AneXineohp :)
his artsyle, that’s it
I'm the exact same, I get so excited. 😂
When I draw now, if I'm not drawing one of my OC's, i tend to just have a set of presets to choose from. The areas that are most important to make a character distinction (in my opinion) are the nose, face shape, and eyes. And once you learn how many variations there are it can feel very powerful
extacly, i do the same
Twitter: Sam has Same Face Syndrome because he can only draw the kind of face that appeals to him >:(
Sam: *calmly proves that he can, indeed, draw other faces, any faces in fact, all while helping others break out of their own Same Face Syndrome too*
You addressed this like a champ, Sam. Well done, we stan an unbothered yet responsible creator who's willing to take any kind of criticism and work with it. Sam went full Oogway on the fans and haters
I agree with ye. Actually, that's what I wanted to write here too, lol
you know he literally said he only draws women that appeal to him LMAOOO?? why are u acting like that never happened and people made that up
I don't think people would care about it if Sam didn't draw different faces for man and same face for women
@@cateowa … it was a joke maybe do research ;) especially because people were sending him DEATH THREATS. not to mention his user was literally samdoesmen 🤦🏽♀️
@SuperGirlTalz ummm that's literally the entire point why people are mad. It's not that Sam CAN'T draw different faces, it's that he intentionally decides NOT to. He draws every single one of his female subjects with the same face because, IN HIS OWN WORDS, that's what he finds attractive. Only viewing women as objects to be seen and molded into a single face and body to be looked at and drawn for his own pleasure was exactly the issue.
This reminds me of what caricature artists do when they draw people. They take their main distinguishing features and preserve those while making way for the rest to be stylized.
its really nice to see people improve and grow, so I'm glad sam made this video :D he not only acknowledged his own mistakes but taught others to not make the same mistakes he did!
I never had a problem with his characters looking the same but I’m still glad he acknowledged it. Love you sam
This is so wholesome! I wasn’t bothered by your TLOU fanart that caused drama but I admire how you actually thought about the feedback (even tho some comments were inappropriate and pure bully), you reflected and now you are ready to learn something new and grow as an artist. This makes me very excited for your future art ♥️ very inspiring Sam
Y'know what's funny, before you posted this video I've been getting out of my comfort zone and improving my art. Everyday I remembered and practice the tips you've taught me. Slowly getting my art back to being me, I lost myself with my art when I kept drawing everyday and just trying to post everyday. My art wasn't me anymore and shattered, so I took a break from social media as I knew it was getting serious and destroying my mental health and connection with art. Throughout this break I've been slowly getting back to loving art and allowing myself to make messy lineart and draw whatever came to mind. I'm a horror artist and I would have not expected myself to draw hello kitty one day and that says something haha but in all seriousness, this video made me feel less alone knowing someone else was doing the same thing. Watching you go out of your comfort zone inspires me so much and today I was not sure how I wanted to do my digital art but watching you just paint and do it in a messy way truly inspired me. I wanted to do that but thought only clean art was better but you made me realize art isn't about how it looks it's how it makes you feel. Followers, likes, shares don't matter. What matters is if art makes you happy and is something you can feel creative with. Sam, you've helped me with my art journey for the longest time and I can't thank you enough. Wither or not you see this, it makes me happy knowing I've told you. Much love, Mickoy
This is something i can relate to i have been in art block for 6 months and let me tell you that it wasn't fun i just recently got back into drawjng a month ago and it feels awesome to learn about art again
You're OC's beauty and characteristics will pop up more if they're surrounded by more natural, normal looking people. You don't appreciate a beautiful person in the middle of other beautiful people, but put them next to me.. you'll never forget about them. Or me. I'm ugly enough to hunt you in your nightmares. (And incredibly proud of it)
You had me there😂😂😂
I'm very happy to see someone so successful that see room for improvement and doesn't say "I'm perfect, because I have followers" like other ones ❤️
I love how it still looks like Sam's art, even though it's different from what he's done before. What an artist. What an artist. 👏👏👏
Sam, I want to say you’ve helped me grow so much with my art. I have learned so much from you and I’m so grateful that you have become like a mentor to me. Thank you Sam! 😁
i just love this type of art content, keep up
This is so nice to see !! There are so many different faces and features, it’s great to branch out like this and helps grow all of our art. I’m glad you addressed it like this Sam!
It's so cool seeing you challenge yourself and staying humble mate. Those faces you drew were fire and I definitely saw your style in them.
I have a syndrome of changing art style frequently, nothing stays the same. Also I'm so proud of you Sam.
I like how Sam can show us how to develop as artists, as a content creator for RUclips, and as an artist sharing his work, he’s my biggest motivator because he’s so good at getting his points across in an understandable way, and he’s my biggest inspirer because his art is always a scope into true beauty and technicality I haven’t yet mastered; even when he draws less desirable characters, it glosses my eyes in the art I see of his in face value, they’re so vibrant and lively and fluid with nicely done details.
I just love what he does (best art teacher and best developer).
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO CRITICISM! Lately there have been people who really misunderstood you over your recent pieces :( And tbh I was kinda shocked what you wrote under one of em. But keep it up, we'll be there on the journey!
Good on you Sam, for identifying the things that are holding you back and sharing them with us. Its a good lesson we can all learn and grow from.
I’m glad that this was spurred from your twitter post! Not glad about the things some people were saying but glad that you realized, even tweaked your last of us work, and even a step further, put out a video admitting you’re still learning! I look forward to seeing your progress reflect in your future pieces! ❤
Draw as you want sam , we love you and your works!!
I love it when artists are self-aware
i absolutely LOVE seeing you draw these dynamic faces! its such a fun process to watch and I hope you make this a series because I rlly like this video
I like these sort of 'learn with you' type of videos :) I feel more normal still learning when I see these type of videos from an experienced artist so thankyou!
Dude, watching Sam try new things and different styles is just so cool and makes me want to draw. His last The Last of Us fanarts made me really love his style even more, its just so well made and beautiful.
I really enjoy sam making this kind of video! Since he's fixing his own same face syndrome as it shows that professional artists with over a million subscribers can still face the same common issues that beginner artists face and I'm sure it can definitely inspire beginners who feel ashamed of having problems like this
This is probably my favourite video you’ve done! Really informative, down to earth, doing some studies. Really nice!
And your recent pieces are also some of my favourites of yours! Practice be payin’ off!
im glad that instead of ignorance, you're actually trying to improve yourself and also helping others. good job sam!
I've been in such an art rut lately but this video has actually helped inspire me to push through! Thanks Sam!
So much respect for you and this video. It's hard to take the kind of "criticism" (I'm hesitant to call it that because a lot of it was vitriol) that you did with grace, let alone to accept it and embrace it and use it to learn and teach others. You've been one of my favourite artists for a while now, and this video is just another reason why.
It inspires me so much to see him actually adapt and experiment out of what he's comfortable with. I feel like I always have something to learn and Sam explains it well!
That's very impressive indeed! Taking criticism is the key to improving oneself and it just emphasises more on how we aren't perfect. It makes us all the more human and relatable. Keep up the amazing work! ✨
Glad to see Sam address this. I love Sam's old portrait drawings. His recent drawings are cute girls, but very one note. But even with the Same Face Syndrome, he still challenge himself with the background coloring...
It feels really encouraging to watch another artist actually learn because people usually only post the stuff they're used to. I could never really finish your videos because of this, but this time I could see how uncomfortable you were, I think this is a really engaging video. Keep improving Sam!
Real!! Ive watched a few of his vids and I love his commentary + advice but I was confused as to why he didn't really change the features up a bit more. This video slays I love seeing big artists moving out of their comfort zones
This was SO helpful! Seeing how you analyze the reference photos to change your process and challenge your habits is incredibly useful
after the recent commotions, im really happy to see you taking this step!! now im feeling inspired... exams first though,😅
thank you for showing that it's okay to make mistakes along the way! it's important to trust ourselves as artists and help ease that need of immediate perfection. 💖
I'm so proud of you, your attitude of learning from criticism although a bit harsh, you managed to come out on top and prove that you are a great artist
This is the best response to criticism i’ve ever seen on there internet. you’re my idol and i’m happy you listened to your fan base :)
Not only is he improving constantly but also sharing his journey with us! I’m looking forward to seeing new faces and body types on this channel 💅
"even if you dont have same face syndrome, in which case I hate you" sam is the most relatable being on the internet
Love the way Sam so maturely handled the way people were acting.
I respect you so much as a content creator for talking about a place you are weak in and bringing us along for the journey. I really wish I saw more of this instead of everyone only talking about what they are good at. This sets a good example for us baby artists at being able to talk about places of growth. Thanks for making this sort of content! And thanks for inspiring me to work on things that I'm weaker in!
It makes me happy to know that even art gods like sam make mistakes and it's okay to do it
I think observing the difference between the faces of your friends or family is also a good practice for avoiding same face syndrome
i like how you handled the situation! i hope to see more various faces from you in the future 💗 also your energy is great, keep working man
It's so inspiring seeing you listen to and take valid criticism and then work on it and show you're capable of changing it up to better yourself. I need to get like Sam😭💕
im glad sam was able to take the criticism and try to learn and improve his work!!!
Even though the facial expressions look the ''same'' on Sam's characters, his artstyle will never change. (Sam's art style is beautiful)
This is so inspiring. Someone like Sam where his style is so well known and beloved by most people, who are into art or not, still feels the need to grow and learn. I just wanna run to my sketchbook right now and work away thanks to this
Thanks Sam!
i think ppl arent ripping on you for same face syndrome so much as ripping on you for "only drawing what you find attractive"
yea! especially since he drew kids the same way
@@mouse7355 right lmao if youre gonna say something like that then dont draw kids, period
@@womankisserjermaluvr frfr!
didn't expect you to do a character study on Deirdra and Evelyn from EEAAO but here we are. I love them
I just saw that movie yesterday on a theater that was celebrating oscar winning movies. Loved it. Weird, but I loved it
Honestly this is so cool of you, what a wonderful video about fighting habits and self-improvement. I can’t wait to see what you do next! 🙏✨
Really cool to be able to see the change in your work since this video, you can almost see the point on your insta page where things start to change, and you just keep getting better. Major props to you
That's not true? I literally was on his ig 30 minutes ago. It's still the same face, the same body type etc.
it inspires me so much seing a master like sam always wanting to improve even at his skill level
Love this topic! I highly suggest working on Fanarts if anyone is stuck with the Same Face Syndrome for their works. It used to be the same for me, but then I started learning a lot more about variety in facial features by drawing tons of Fanart. Later on when you get back to drawing your own original compositions, the variety you’ll notice in facial features while also keeping your own style will be a lot more prominent 😌❤️
I think you making a video about that and realizing your mistakes is awesome
I'm very proud to call Sam my favourite artist. He took accountability and he didn't run away from his responsibilities. ❤
Glad you’re self aware
What
He took the criticism and apologised though?
@@remi4113 yeah that’s literally what being self aware is
I have very bad same face syndrome. After this video, I'm going straight to drawing an elderly person from a reference because I have no idea how to. I always draw teens or younger adults. So, my list of things to work on is drawing older people, animals, fixing my same face syndrome, and learning more on lighting because I've realized that I haven't been adding highlights and only shading. Nice to know that a lot of people also struggle with these things
So cool to see you work on that! I love how these studies came out
I just love how you show and explain the things. You inspire to create 🔥
Thank you for the new art vid uncle Sam
No problem nephew
I love your art Sam! I dream of being an artist and have a huge channel! :)
THIS WAS SO MOTAVATING!!!
THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH YOUR EXSISTANCE!!!
8:23 "you're gonna pick up your ipad right now, and you and i, we're gonna work on it together" 🥹 never have i been this motivated, THANK YOU SAM!
Great Work Sam! As Artists (As human beings) we are always growing. Keep up the awesome work!
amazing Sam ❤️
i think sam needs to watch his own video
Your art is so pretty! I always look forward to when you post- Your videos are entertaining and they always make me laugh
Sam your videos make me laugh and arealqays so relatable to watch. Thanks for keeping the art process real and fun 😊
You were able to not get down with all the hate that you were given, and listen to the ones that were giving constructive criticism to improve your work, you are a wise one, man. Congrats!
What I've been doing recently is sculpting my characters in Blender, and even going so far as to render them, so that I have a 360° reference for my characters that I can go back to. They all have different facial features, structures, and skin types, so it's very helpful in not falling back into a copy and paste production line when you're trying to crank out a comic or project.
i have been meaning to try blender for a while now. Is it difficult to learn? Like just for characters and n stuff.
@@eemansuhail It took me about a week or two to learn enough about Blender to get where I wanted to. The first week I was close to giving up, thinking that Blender couldn't offer good enough quality work, so I began to think about ZBrush (sooo expensive). But I was wrong. I was watching Blender speed-runs of character art, and saw professional quality results. I had to ask myself, "Why isn't it working for me?" In the end, the solution was me having to understand and utilize the Dyntopo tool. So, my advice is to make sure you understand exactly what your having difficulty with so that you know exactly how to form your question. And yes, there is a specialized website for Blender users to ask and answer questions.
Anyways, I also use Unreal Engine to design my worlds in 3D so that I have references and backgrounds at the ready for any comic/graphic novel work. It's really useful, if you have a PC that can run it, and some patience to learn the software.
I think it's really cool that you talk like that about your own art. I admire you a lot
Awesome work i really like the fact that youre willing to improve and move on from your ‘’errors’’ :) same face syndrome is definetly harsh to get rid of once you have it
"Granma looks a bit dead" made me laugh as I try to think what Jamie Lee Curtis would say to that🤣
They all came out amazing!
It has inspired me to experience more with my own style myself☺ Thank you for making this!
STOP CALLING US OUT 😭😭
I'm calling myself out
@@samdoesarts 😂 we calling each other out
this is an incredibly mature response. thank you ❤️
Yess another SamDoesArts Video! You are a huge inspiration to me
dude got flamed so hard he changed his whole style
I am a young Frenchman who is in love with drawing and these times with the advancement of AI I was afraid .... but seeing your video gave me hope and makes me want to fight and draw for me and others! I know you will not see this message but if you ever see it THANK YOU
I loved how different this video is than others and I loved his art so much GOD DAMMIT SAM IT IS BEAUTIFUL T-T
i watch Sam’s outros every single time and this one is by far the best im actually crying
Great video!! Made me angry people were criticizing your work. What a graceful response! Great work and hopefully we can all overcome same face syndrome together 😂
