Hey! Good tutorial. I understand you want to put your own touch on your drawing. I work as an artist and I'm specializing on portraits, and I have a tip: Normally, when you draw a portrait of someone, you want to capture them in a way that makes it VERY similar to how they actually look. This very much include their "flaws", which are the things that makes them one of a kind.Therefore, the technique of measuring a face out perfectly according to how it typically SHOULD look will result in a portrait that is only somewhat similar to the real person. As you first showed us: the circle, middle diagonal line and two or three horizontal lines are always a good skeleton for your drawing. I would however avoid measuring them out the way you did. The only important things you have to measure are the actual features of the person you're drawing. You measure them by looking at the in-between spaces and not the actual features. You don't have to use a ruler, you can use just your eyes, or your pen and fingers if you'd like (that's why you often see artists holding their pens in front of them in movies and stuff haha! ). For example: I want to draw the persons eyes. How far apart are they? -I measure the space between their eyes (A good rule of thumb is that you in most cases can fit one identical eye in between their eyes. The lashes and stuff does not count. This may vary, tho). How high or low are they placed in the persons face? -I measure the space between the upper line of the eye and the lower line of the eyebrow (In pretty much all people, the measurements are not exactly the same on both eyes). How far are the eyes from the persons temples? -I measure the space from the outer corner of the eye to the space where the hairline starts. And just like that, you've got the basic placement down EXACTLY according to the persons face. And you just go on and on and on, measuring all the in between spaces. Good luck!
I think drawing is just like playing guitar. You have to practice to get better and it takes time! So people should never give up if they want to draw! :)
Kishiki O Oh really? I thought that without any practice I could be the next Michelangelo. My point being, that everyone knows these things take time to master, so you don't have to remind them.
Hey guys! I hope you find today's video helpful! Be sure to give it a thumbs up to support the channel & to leave a comment so we can chat! Also let me know what other things you would like to see in this series or what would you like to see more in depth! ❤
makoccino Remember yesterday? You replied to me! OMG it made my day. You are amazing keep on trying your best because I will be one of the people that won't hate. Oh and that girl is from Game of Thrones! I forgot her name but it's like, umm, hmm... oOH! She is the queen of dragons her name starts with a D. BYE!
❤❤❤ Hey guys! If you are new to my channel and are wondering how to draw the eyes, the nose, the lips and hair, I already covered it in my latest videos here in the channel! You can check out my playlist to learn about all that here: bit.ly/2pZuQ1k ❤
What I really love about this tutorial video is that, while she is telling us tips and how to draw certain things, she just spits out very great motivational thoughts for us beginners at drawing. More power to you girl. Hats off ❤❤
These videos have helped out quite a bit in a short amount of time, compared to months ago, my style has changed, and my drawing has become quite realistic. I just.. need some time to figure out shading, but I've gotten praise and pointers from two amazing artists in my family. One said I'm going to right track. 😄
You know, you are right. Some things really look more difficult than they are, and we might be surprised that we're actually good at doing something we haven't done in ages, or haven't done at all. I for once haven't tried painting since primary school, and now it turns out I can do it and not be terrible at it. This is surprising, as I thought this would be so beyond me. Now I only wish I could draw and paint people, but this is just to frustrating. So happy to have found your channel.
When I use 3 hours on drawing a realistic face it usually turns out really good but when I just quick wanna draw one it just turns out sooo bad. Could you please make a tutorial on how to draw faces (and bodys) quick but pretty??🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I love your videos and you inspire me a lot♥️♥️
Rediii Liiin yes u do have to take time to draw realistically, however a lot of art schools require that you take a life drawing workshop in which they give you 30-60 minutes. Drawing quickly is something that I'm working on too, and it just takes a little patience and a little time.
I am a tattoo artist but I have always drawn since the age of five and have always been self-taught and you are tutorials have helped me and made it easier for me in my sketches and free sketches for tattoo projects or upcoming tattoo drawings thank u
Mrs.Makoccino,I am impressed the way you showed the art of drawing face by pencil sketch in your easy art tutorial systematically.Its well presented.I am interested to see more of your tutorials of drawing baby,s face your drawings are inspiring .Thank you
I think I'll draw like you in some years maybe Awesome video though Can you actually give a detailed video on face shapes, they ruin my drawings please please please
I love this video! It's so much more helpful than other videos I watched, because they love time lapses. I like your how inspirational you are. Thanks for the video!
Can someone add an English subtitle to this video? We are struggling to understand while listening as non-native English speakers and I can translate from the text but I need someone to add English subtitles.
I apologize in advance for this negative comment, but this drawing is really quite bad. It's so skew, and this video is about proportions, but they also aren't well done.( Just try to look at your picture in the mirror, and you'll see) And the way you blend - it's not the good way, because you just impair your paper. It's cool, to see so many glad people in comments, that means, that your video is really a masterpiece for someone, but as for me, I don't understand it, I don't understand how can you teach somebody, because it's really a bad level, sorry. Anyway, good luck, I believe you will be great after few years, just pay attention to the anatomy, proportions and your technique.
Яна Стручок Thanks, at least I’m not alone here, checked her youtube today and still no improvement whatsoever, she’s only limiting herself and making the same mistakes over and over.. the way she shades is just too cringy, didn’t even see a single blending stamp, no gradation, the way she draw the hair! Goood GOD! Kill me now.. people on the comment section are straight up gullible af!
Michael Are you a beginner or you don’t even draw in the first place? I’m pretty sure you don’t even know who Daenerys Targaryen was, the proportion is well done? Are you blind or just dumb? Google Daenerys Targaryen now and look at her finished sketch, it looks nothing like her..
MLP.A-Len I’m glad you’ve responded to me so quickly. I’ve been drawing for almost twenty years and yes, I know who this character is. I was simply curious if you knew a better way to draw faces.
Michael I wont be throwing facts and tips how to shade and shit if i dont.. I just stumbled upon these youtuber, i thought it’s Kristy Partridge Do’s and don’t, turn out it’s just a cheap copy cat with no talent.. Wow 20yrs, and the proportion is on point? I think you should go back to basic 🤣
You are so profound and so nice in every single video! You go into depth both technically and psicologically and everytime I struggle with watercolor or drawing techniques I know that I can find the answers and the tips I'm looking for in your channel! Thank you!
9:19 to 9:28 thank you makoccino for inspiring us to draw!! Firstly when I draw an eye it's cartoon-ish... But when I saw your eye video, I quickly watched it cause your eye drawing looked soooooooooooooo real!!!! So thank you so much!! - I love UNICORNS SO MUCH
I guess ur spirit is unmatched.... As u say along n make the video is adorable that it moves everyone through the the video.... Then it's beautifully done
Your hair is so pretty and clean and your drawing is so good 💗 these darwing tips help me loads and I can't stop watching your videos I love this channel so much💗

O L I V I A In my opinion, drawing is a thing for that you have to take your time so it will get pretty.
Practice more. That way you will be quicker.
Rediii Liiin yes u do have to take time to draw realistically, however a lot of art schools require that you take a life drawing workshop in which they give you 30-60 minutes. Drawing quickly is something that I'm working on too, and it just takes a little patience and a little time.
Straight lines? Like maybe when you need to draw a small waist into wide hips. :)
