oh hi, you looking cute today. Class is in session though so PAY attenttione. This has been requested on every recent videos so I hope it helps you have a great weekend, otherwise I'm sending you to detention.
@Elliepopcorn all it takes to learn the proportions and how to apply them is practice of Loomi's (?) method of drawing faces. Just draw them a lot and don't render/leave with a very simple shading, lines are all that's needed You can find a ton of tutorials online, or can read his book on drawing the head (I heard a lot of positive reviews about it)
finally a tutorial about facial expressions, I remember commenting on one of your posts in Facebook that recommended about making a tutorial on facial expressions because I was having a hard time drawing expressions at that time, thanks for making this tutorial
Tbh, expressions is the one thing that I need to take advantage of. It’ll bring my art to the next level but I was always so confused about conveying certain emotions, I’m so used to drawing my characters with a simple 😐 face lmfao. Thank you for this! 💕
I guess to get more expresive, you need to help with body language. You need to push your character that you can read how he/she feel it even without see their face. Man Marc classes are amazing!
Marc, can you give us some tips on creating interesting and unique characters, and then keeping them looking the same through different poses, outfits and expressions? Maybe you could explain how fashion composition, poses, expressions, and color theory make memorable characters.
I've been watching your youtube videos for a few months now, and I just wanted to say thank you for making these! As a kid I was always drawing something somewhere, and somewhere along the way I had lost that passion, but you've helped me in finding that spark again! You inspire thousands of people every day, and you are truly an incredible instructor and person. I'm getting teary eyes just writing this damned post but it's so important that you know how big of a difference you are making in peoples lives. I don't know if I'll ever be a professional artist, but the joy i've gotten from finding that passion again has truly been transformative in my life. I hope to be able to take your full course someday! From the bottom of my heart: Thank you, Marc.
I wanted to leave a comment with the same thoughts, but you already did, and there is nothing to add, great words! Really helpful channel, so inspiring! I'm very happy that one day I found it! Marc is amazing
And just when I needed it I found this video on my "watch later" Playlist. Thanks for sharing this knowledge🥺❤️ Also, it's not very important but when we express emotions our pupils react as well (with fear they get smaller and with happiness they get bigger) it's a little detail that is usually exaggerated on animation.
I love you're tutorials and tips so much man Im currently an 11 year old learning about art and striving to be an artist ever since I was young I always admired about how cartoons are animated, paintings, those youtube animations about theyre ocs and stuff😆 you're motivation honestly thank you marc🦍🦍💞‼️‼️
I'd love to see a follow up to this with how lighting changes the different expressions. Have found a lot of my art gets very different expression entirely by which position I place the light source. Low angle lighting really does make characters look menacing sometimes when the same expression is a normal smile when lit from above
Thank you very much for your assistance; it is greatly appreciated ❤️. I've been having trouble painting facial expressions. But, in your next video, could you please make a tutorial on how to draw a character face consistently? I've been struggling with that as well.
I cannot express how many things other people have explained and I didn't understand, that you do it is instantly 💡. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💯🏴☠️💜✌🏼💪🏼
This video is so helpful! Thank you Marc! And Marc ive been struggling with drawing Characters like characters sitting or juat standing in perspective, I hope you can make more videos about Perspectives more! Thank you Marc! ❤
Why I cant like this more? Thank you my friend. The last part was amazing. that simple trick of turn the head up/down helps push the emotions. I really like it.
My method of thinking about emotions are what are they doing to our bodies: If you are surprised you want to take in as much information in as possible because of the sudden change in atmosphere. If your angry , your body tenses up.... But later I realize , that it only works on very extreme sensations and feelings so my characters usually look either nothing or world end. So this video filled those gaps in between
Man this was amazing... Can you make a tutorial on how to draw faces tilting forwards and backwards one day? I really struggle with placing the facial features when I'm trying to tilt faces. As always thank you for all your hard work Marc ❤
That was super helpful! To the point and all you need basically, I've struggled a lot with some emotions and now I have a solid starting point for any expression. Thank you!
I recently watched a video explaining how important it is for content creators to get those likes and subscribes. I had no idea how wild the RUclips algorithm was. For anyone that doesn't like the video: please do!
A suggestion for a future class: how to draw different ethnicities! There is hardly anything around as well explained as your videos on it ☺🤗🙈 especially not in a bundle with more than one ethnicity
What a great video ! BEST tutorial ever I seen, was struggling for a long time but with this I am getting so much better Thank you for this amazing piece.
It's kind of a fun exercise to draw a dozen rather simple "smileys" with exaggerated expressions (not just typical emotions, but various reaction faces for no better description) and then try to copy those with the face of some character(s) you came up with. The first part of doodling the smileys seems to make it a bit easier, since you're thinking of the features of a desired expression rather than trying to get things right with proportions or other technical details. The challenge is getting what you did with the smileys to fit on the other character while keeping still its traits intact. Can be done for fun alone, but if trying to do it more like a study just block it out on a grid to do side-by-sides.
As much as this helps with drawing it can also help with acting since you are showing ways to draw your expressions beginner actors can use this as a big help knowing what they have to do to get the expression!!😊
I recently got a Huion pen tablet, so I have been binge watching your amazing classes....I love the weird ways you begin your videos and I love how interesting your classes are.....also you have really nice cheek bones bro...you are very good looking,anyway keep on making amazing videos Marc
I don't know if you've done this before but I'd like a class about textures. I struggle so much with adding any to my work. Like the difference between skin and fabric and how to render things differently depending on the material. Today's class was very helpful! I'm definitely going to do few exercises based off of it.
I very like idea of thinking how muscle will move, before making expressions, that's very valuable advice even if it's hard for me to distinguish them.
It's very magical to witness this progress. how one little change does so much. And i really like how alive these faces look yet they are so simple. One day i'll get there champs.
Ive been rewatching this quite a few times now just to refresh the info thank you for all you give to us marc, i hope to give something back to share to you soon! :) hope you had a nice day ps. your new video was great too because its what ive been doing past few weeks as well xD
Im two years late to thie video but omg this is FANTASTIC. Im attempting my first reference sheet for a character and this video is everything i needed to help me draw out their various facial expresssions. Will definitely be rewatching this a few times 😆
ooh these are some really good things to note! watched invincible the other week and seeing the comics made me realize how good awesome facial expressions make the drawings better, I should practice this more c:
I'm currently trying to make a webtoon and I feel my biggest problem is angles and- you guessed it- expressions. Especially expressions from angles lmao. It's a process 😭
Video idea, make interesting poses. When it comes to simple standing poses. How to spice them up so they dont look stiff. That would also include how to angle them to avoid making it look flat. I'm oddly specific but idk sensei its food for thought. I'm also desperate
hey last your video helped me a lot when designing characters with emotions by a lot and also how characters take a hit or have to impact on or by something, again thanks and it was worth watchin
You said you read every comment so I wanted to tell you how much I love your voice and how you narrate. Also your intros and outros. Your videos are just super fun to watch.
Hi sir marc! I've been watching your videos since 2 years ago, and i can really see my improvements!! All of your tutorial videos really helps me improve art! Thank you so much!
propotions and facial features (including expressions) have been putting me off lately it really bums me out as a perfectionist(it means i want things perfect its not about being perfect xd)
oh hi, you looking cute today. Class is in session though so PAY attenttione. This has been requested on every recent videos so I hope it helps you have a great weekend, otherwise I'm sending you to detention.
Sup marc
You, you are the reason I am improving. thank you.
(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
thank you sr marc
i was really looking for this!! thank you Marc! Also you looking great today too
It's the worst when you draw 10 expressions and they each look like different people :(
Mine dont even look like lol
Proportions is the key 👌
say that to anime characters when they suddenly reveal to be evil
I can't even make both eyes the same size ffs
@Elliepopcorn all it takes to learn the proportions and how to apply them is practice of Loomi's (?) method of drawing faces. Just draw them a lot and don't render/leave with a very simple shading, lines are all that's needed
You can find a ton of tutorials online, or can read his book on drawing the head (I heard a lot of positive reviews about it)
Marc is slowly taking over the world with his clones.
Doubt he keeps blowing them up 😣
I think the clones taking over Marc
If the world ends by the sky being blotted out with Marc's I'm pretty okay with that. It's how the Mayans would have wanted it
hey more art, not a problem
Told you he had clones
If Marc could multiply a copy of himself that means each one of us could have a personal art teacher.
finally a tutorial about facial expressions, I remember commenting on one of your posts in Facebook that recommended about making a tutorial on facial expressions because I was having a hard time drawing expressions at that time, thanks for making this tutorial
Tbh, expressions is the one thing that I need to take advantage of. It’ll bring my art to the next level but I was always so confused about conveying certain emotions, I’m so used to drawing my characters with a simple 😐 face lmfao.
Thank you for this! 💕
this is actually what i wanted for practice today, I feel like you can read our minds xD
thanks for this tutorial, sensei!
he can totally read our minds
and clone himself
This is literally what I was practicing, im convinced he has implanted chips in our heads that read our minds
That's how Universe works
Cheeze guys this legend is going crazy with the intros! I honesty appreciate the amount of humor you radiate Marc, can't wait for the next Art Lesson!
Great stuff Marc - would definitely like to see a more advanced version of this with less common expressions.
I agree.
I guess to get more expresive, you need to help with body language. You need to push your character that you can read how he/she feel it even without see their face. Man Marc classes are amazing!
I swear, everytime I need to learn something, you'll post it just when I need it. A true life saver indeed
Marc, can you give us some tips on creating interesting and unique characters, and then keeping them looking the same through different poses, outfits and expressions?
Maybe you could explain how fashion composition, poses, expressions, and color theory make memorable characters.
changing the iris size is also a great way of exaggerating an expression, like making the iris smaller when the character is angry or scared.
This is actually what i wanted to study this coming week. Thanks for organizing it for me Marcy boy.
I was drawing random characters and was having a hard time with facial expressions, thanks Marc!

Really helpful channel, so inspiring! I'm very happy that one day I found it! Marc is amazing
7:37 aka the Jack Torrance smile ;D
Bro the way Marc just whips up ✨amazing faces✨ without even using any first sketch is just 👌😩
I think Marc is a god, i was literally looking for a facial expression video to help me improve yesterday, and today he posted this video.
And just when I needed it I found this video on my "watch later" Playlist.

What I needed for like years. Thanks man. You are the best
You are a god to me, and this is no joke. Your skill and your talent are absolutely insane. Seriously considering buying full program.
This guy has been full of positive chill vibes for so long, I love him
I'm so grateful for your tutorials. I was stuck into a point of my art, and finally i feel like i'm evolving it. Thank you so much!
Thank you! This really helped me improve my emotions! Finally, i can make people believe im human!
Why I cant like this more? Thank you my friend.
The last part was amazing. that simple trick of turn the head up/down helps push the emotions. I really like it.
you're the biggest help on RUclips, PERIOD. thanks for being the best
You are very inspiring artist,I like how you find the solution’s for every difficulty on your work process..awesome tutorials thank you 😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏
My method of thinking about emotions are what are they doing to our bodies:
If you are surprised you want to take in as much information in as possible because of the sudden change in atmosphere.
If your angry , your body tenses up....
But later I realize , that it only works on very extreme sensations and feelings so my characters usually look either nothing or world end. So this video filled those gaps in between
Ive been loving these "level 1-3" videos I have been seeing, keep it up :)
Man this was amazing... Can you make a tutorial on how to draw faces tilting forwards and backwards one day? I really struggle with placing the facial features when I'm trying to tilt faces.
As always thank you for all your hard work Marc ❤
What really helped me with expressions is that asking why is he looking sad happy or sad but try to laugh and observing what gives the emotion
Heyo thanks Marc! Your editing keeps me super entertained, so it’s more fun to learn from you!
There is actually a lot of material to practice in this vid even though it didn't seem long. Great work, this is exactly what I wanted on this subject
That was super helpful! To the point and all you need basically, I've struggled a lot with some emotions and now I have a solid starting point for any expression. Thank you!
I was literally exhausted finding some good video on this topic. Thank you soo much sir for posting this😊
It helped alot.
This man is amazing … I learn so much
I recently watched a video explaining how important it is for content creators to get those likes and subscribes. I had no idea how wild the RUclips algorithm was. For anyone that doesn't like the video: please do!
A suggestion for a future class: how to draw different ethnicities! There is hardly anything around as well explained as your videos on it ☺🤗🙈 especially not in a bundle with more than one ethnicity
somehow this made the human face so simple now but at the same time shows how complex emotions can get on someone's face. so cool
This was excellent. Going in stages from simple to complex made it really easy to follow.
These vids are pure gold, I can't stress that enough.
What a great video ! BEST tutorial ever I seen, was struggling for a long time but with this I am getting so much better Thank you for this amazing piece.

I love the way you handle your intro.it add life.
without fail, every time I need a video for something you always have an answer bro
Right in time I'm having a School Plate for emotion drawing practice!! Thank you!
As much as this helps with drawing it can also help with acting since you are showing ways to draw your expressions beginner actors can use this as a big help knowing what they have to do to get the expression!!😊
A very useful tutorial. I've been struggling making my characters look smug so this helps.
I was about to study facial expression this week. ur video just came at the right time!
I recently got a Huion pen tablet, so I have been binge watching your amazing classes....I love the weird ways you begin your videos and I love how interesting your classes are.....also you have really nice cheek bones bro...you are very good looking,anyway keep on making amazing videos Marc
I've been focusing on studying faces lately, this comes in the right time! Thanks Marc!
I don't know if you've done this before but I'd like a class about textures. I struggle so much with adding any to my work.
Like the difference between skin and fabric and how to render things differently depending on the material.
Today's class was very helpful! I'm definitely going to do few exercises based off of it.
Marc! You're my FAVOURITE art youtuber!
We can trust Marc when he talks about conveing emotions, especially considering all those intros XD
It been long since I've watched one of your vid, you had 600k subs then, now you're at a million, I love your work ethic
this video truly changed my life
I very like idea of thinking how muscle will move, before making expressions, that's very valuable advice even if it's hard for me to distinguish them.
I literally struggled with this last night, and here you are in my recommended this morning!
Thank you for your videos. I'm a guy learning the ropes and using a simple iPad. You're very helpful
It's very magical to witness this progress. how one little change does so much.
And i really like how alive these faces look yet they are so simple.
One day i'll get there champs.
Marc never disappoint us with his tutorials
Ive been rewatching this quite a few times now just to refresh the info

ps. your new video was great too because its what ive been doing past few weeks as well xD
This feels like i just watched a video on Handsome jack's and lux's different facial expressions, very cool
Im two years late to thie video but omg this is FANTASTIC. Im attempting my first reference sheet for a character and this video is everything i needed to help me draw out their various facial expresssions. Will definitely be rewatching this a few times 😆
omg this worked soo well for me! thank you very much! helped me a lot with my comics)))) Im a fan from Kyrgyzstan 💖
literally my favorite youtube channel, the art lessons i've always needed and just a hilarious guy
You don't know how overjoyed this makes me, finally, thank you.
That's a video that I didn't knew that I wanted, I'll come her in the future many more times, that's for sure!
ooh these are some really good things to note! watched invincible the other week and seeing the comics made me realize how good awesome facial expressions make the drawings better, I should practice this more c:
I'm currently trying to make a webtoon and I feel my biggest problem is angles and- you guessed it- expressions. Especially expressions from angles lmao. It's a process 😭

How do I like thise twice? Seven times? Infinity? Helped a lot, huge thanks! And always entertaining to watch.
Thanks, Marc. You really grow as a video maker.
i've actually been thinking about doing some expression studies, the timing is perfect oh wow
My characters are simply too cool-unbothered-rest-face, they don't need expressions, that's what I tell myself
1:57 I can't.. This is so much.
Hi Mr Marc please could make a tutorial on how hand gestures could fit facial expressions.
thank god for this ive been struggling with expressions for who knows how long now
i tried doing the different angles and it definitely boosted the way the expressions looked thank u!
Really really helpfull, you are good teacher that i ever meet, hope that God bless you :33
The intros just get better XD
I'm saving this. I think it's that important.
finally I see a guy on art
You said you read every comment so I wanted to tell you how much I love your voice and how you narrate. Also your intros and outros. Your videos are just super fun to watch.
Sheesh I really like your style and watching your videos just helps me to calm down instead of being stressed because of school
appreciate it, thanks! (would love to also learn how to draw expression in a less cartoony way if you ever have the time ...)
thank marc , for a guy who wanted to draw his own comic one day it is really helpful
Hi sir marc! I've been watching your videos since 2 years ago, and i can really see my improvements!! All of your tutorial videos really helps me improve art! Thank you so much!
Huh, I never thought about the cheekmuscles! Only the mouth and eyebrows got some love, so no wonder my characters always smiled sadly 😂🙈📚🌼
Keep up the good work, man; we're all grateful. love the beard by the way.
Do you have video where you show how you use references for your drawings? Also thanks, your videos help a lot, good job
propotions and facial features (including expressions) have been putting me off lately it really bums me out as a perfectionist(it means i want things perfect its not about being perfect xd)
