"feel free to fail - you might find something you like while you're doing it!" that's it right there, that's where i struggle. I'll let myself be a little messy next time and maybe find something good 😊
Does it ever happen to you that the drawing you like the most is the one where you werent thinking too much about it? I think that not caring too much about screwing up can be freeing.
@@Javicandraw I've followed this advice and so far ive made more sketches/ concept doodles in the past week than i had done in months. i can't believe how useful that phrase is. THANK YOU.
@@Javicandraw ive been using it to explore Monster Hunter-like designs! I'm looking at the little critters you can catch and trying to make them into the apex monsters you normally fight. its really fun. i didn't have much success before because i kept stopping mid way - I'm not really educated on actual body plans for animals but Monster Hunter rules let you blend mammalian, reptilian, piscine, and avian features with no regard to how they'd work in our world. it's so much fun splatting different creatures together and I'm learning actual info about real creatures while i do it. i think i really just needed to let myself noodle around for awhile, instead of expecting every piece to look good. i think that's what I'm getting at. i got to remember the fun part of art again 😁
im so glad i found this video. ive been focusing a lot on bodies, proportions, and how bodies move a lot more than how to draw faces. usually when i draw, i end up drawing a face of a character at the front angle and drawing a bunch of bodies. this helped me so much and made me realize that i should start drawing faces a lot more 😅
Every line of the painter seems to be infused with life, accurately outlining the contours of the character's face, the details of their facial features, and the texture of their hair. This smoothness and precision not only demonstrate the painter's profound mastery of line control, but also endow the painting with vividness and vitality.
I was told a lot throughout high school that I should do something with my art and I really want to get into animation. Making characters CONSISTENTLY is one of my biggest struggles so this helps me out A LOT. I've written out how my characters are going to be, I've done maybe a few different pictures, but I have never actually put in the time to get to know them through the drawing process. This is all a bit new for me, since I've only been drawing one picture at a time typically, and hopefully this will be something that'll help get me started on my animation learning process. Thanks for the help!
It makes me a bad person but nothing boosts my confidence like seeing masters of animation (like Don Bluth or Glen Keane) making mistakes in proportions, consistency and anatomy. =P To err is human. Although, truth be told, the masters may make like 1% mistakes while a noob would have 99%. And a pro might settle for 30-50%.
I feel the same way! In fact part of the reason why I made this video is because I was watching The Iron Giant and in one shot where Hogarth is looking up, his face looks so weird it made me wonder why it is so hard to make a character look consistent at any angle.
@@Javicandraw Because in the end it's all about feeling the mistakes. We may fix something only when we know there's something to fix. I don't know how to get good eye measurement without drawing for 16 hours each day. I'll have health issues if I do. And probably burn out for good. I mirror my art and I see it's awfully distorted. So... That explains why I wouldn't be able to draw a character from any angle. Maybe it's just me.
@@RedGallardo take it easy, not only do animators draw 10 hours a day but they also have each other to share tips and techniques that are not widely available. Most of the time, those tips are the ones that make the difference.
@@Javicandraw I guess. No one warned me I couldn't make it solo. I was always told the beautiful lies that working hard with dedication would make me get good. Oh well, one more ruined life, no one cares.
Try telling the voices in my head that! Because they won't listen to me. Also, thanks for this video! I have a terrible time keeping each drawing true to my original character design. But I did start having a better time when I focused purely on my character's key features: her hair, lips, and nose. I'll definitely try that tracing tip and your others! I find I've been practicing more and between that and your videos, I think I'm getting a lot better!
It is very hard! Even though I made this video, this is a very complex subject to me and it's hard to get right. I wish there was a simple trick to help with this but you just need to break everything down to simple shapes and work with them before moving into more detail.
@@Javicandraw I think you did great with it! You make it look easy, but that's art for ya! I find it encouraging to learn what artists struggle with and methods they use to improve in their weak areas. Thanks for the comment and all your great advice!
I guess that was helpful. I think I havent really get into knowing the character as a drawing. I only make up their stories and dialogue in y imagination not actually on paper. And tbh I am always kinda scared. I always wanted to make comics, but I am always as scared to do so, amd after many mistakes I give up. So thanks for this❤❤
I really like your encouraging and enthusiastic manner of teaching! I feel more excited about and capable in exploring my character design ideas now. Art may be a challenge, and it also can be very fun.
That's fantastic! I try to transmit some enthusiasm in the learning process. it can be frustrating when facing it alone. I hope my videos give you some energy and companionship.
I’ve always wondered this. I find that turning the head is straightforward, but keeping it looking like the same character when the head is tilted up or down and the features are warped is a difficulty for me. It’s especially hard for me when the actual shape of the head is unique to the character, whether they have a very round face or a very long and thin one, I find it difficult to rotate that in space along with all the features
@@JavicandrawI did! Your explanation and demonstration really helped to articulate some of the hurdles I’ve been having, and so I’m going to keep practicing using your advice. Thank you!
I discover this channel with this video. And it's so huge! It's rare to find an 8-year-old channel that is still alive and kicking. Congratulations. I've subscribed to it.
many voices indeed alberto moravia the Italian short story writer did have many voices in his head and once he wrote down out all his characters lives they left his head.... well artists indeed are open to many voices which attend the stage of their mind while they are creating their works of course Javi you are entertaining well with these tutorials, thanks for these tutes.
4:25 i am 3 videos into your channel, and it feels like i hit the jackpot! Art was starting to scare me a bit since the tutorials ive seen started to seem more math-y and more logic and this part validated the "feeling", that art is subjective and that i dont need 300 guidlines to try and perfect the angle and i can just go off feeling
The feeling thing is good advice. Sometimes, you could draw a character with perfect proportions, but it still feels off. Sometimes you gotta fudge some things around to keep the feeling right
It reminds me I watched a video on how they draw the dragon ball z (or other anime) 3/4 view in a unique way to see both eyes - in a real 3/4 view you only see half of the 2nd eye
Aight bro. So I'd already tried the line thing but I don't have a 3/4 view. I started with a front view, then tried to make a side view, loved the side view and then hated the front view and now i can't get the front view to look like the side view AT ALL. LOL 😂 Should I maybe try to do a side to 3/4 instead of side to front? Love the videos and the energy. Thanks for helping us newbs out. 😂👍
Hahaha listen I think I can help. 1) Front views and sideviews of people hardly look the same. if you saw my face in profile you'd barely recognize me. This is not what you want for your character design, but maybe list what you like of the side view and try again. the most imporant thing to look for is the shape of the face and the nose. get that right and you'll nail the rest after a few tries. 2) give this video a try, see if it helps. ruclips.net/video/GuWAhysR1qY/видео.html
If you scroll waaaaaaaaaaaay down in my channel youll see that one of my first video si about exactly that. The videos are old, and probably not very good, but you might find them useful.
I love these videos! They help me so much! I want to edit your videos for you, I have experience editing RUclips videos and I think I could help you a lot. if you're interested keep me posted 👍
@@rsa4510 sorry! They only las a bit tho. Since youtube has autoplay on mute, having captions on the first seconds of the video helps people scrolling though understand what the video is about
if you don’t mind hearing my advice, maybe you could express that this is for intermediate artists and not beginners. because It’s a great start for a new art major in collage but for beginners it may feel a little challenging 😊

we all try to avoid it because it feels a bit tedious to draw the same face a million times. but sometimes all we need is a bit of muscle memory.

Very helpful. I have trouble drawing from angles other than 3/4, so using this method will definitely improve that! Thanks for the advice! 👍
Give it a shot! Let me know if it works or if you have any questions
This... THIS IS MY ACHILLES ANKLE! Thank you so much this helps my out like you don't ha
Really appreciated what you said about not taking this as mathematical. It's true! Absolute correctness is not the goal, the vibe is more important
I was having trouble figuring out how to rebuild a character that I only have one reference for. I'm gonna try this method.
Great! If you have any questions let me know. This method was new for me, so I am practicing it as well.

I'm glad I found your channel honestly. (Gonna dig deeper and deeper find your first existence video)
Ooffff you’ll have to scroll back to 2016!!!!
If you slap a time chart on there and make a few inbetweens you have an animation
Hopefully that's the result! I don't think I have it 100% down yet.
to be honest the voices in my head more often then not confuse me. so thank you for saying they don't count

Now that we're done with the basic, add more extreme perspective into those faces😈😷😷
hehe well the more extrem you get the less features you have to cram in there so it can get easier past a certain point.
Your great😂
Thank you!
Or just draw nothing but masked characters for your entire career.
It's a bold choice but it could work 🤣
Anddddd I’m traditional so this is instantly 10x longer
Opps! Sorry, I have no fix for that. you can trace the shapes to repeat them, that might make it easier..
@@Javicandraw you good, I’ve been drawing shapes a lot lately and I’m getting better understanding 3d space
