      Haha!! Too funny! You are a master of disguise! I figured even at the expo, you probably made a mask of your iconic little profile character to wear! 🤭 But that's what we love about you! (Don't know if you realize that I'm night_owl on Twitch too. Just FYI. Lol)
      But back to the video, Thank you so much!!! This was super helpful!! I'm constantly struggling with the way faces look when they are in different perspectives.. You make it so much easier! ❤❤ Thank you again! (And I would love a shading video! 😳)

Marcel your videos are legendary and just in a league of it self. The simplification of the porprtions, details, facial features and guidelines are amazing. Your work is astonishing. My tries at drawing always leads to misery, but then i remember, i come across you. Then all my worries fades. You are a legend!

    I am trying to learn how to draw, and noone has been able to explain it so quickly with so much detail. Before I watched your videos, I have never been able to draw a face, and after I seen it, the face became something I liked about drawing.
    Same with the hands, those are the hardest for me, and I am still struggling, but when you showed the difference in experience, that gave me motivation to try and paint them more

      @hungy7574 3 года назад +2

      Yes, what SirDerpinton said, looking at other people's art that you like can be a good source of inspiration, from the artstyle to the character or colors.
      Or you can try drawing things from real life in you own style aswel.
      Oorr, from movies or games you like...
      Anything is practice really.
