Take my gigantic drawing course: www.formfromimagination.com/

people wonder why they develop same face syndrome in their art, but never realize that they have only ever drawn smooth faced young people. instant cure...draw older people from different parts of the world. you'll be better within the hour.

"There are people walking around who just look like straight-up cartoon characters, and that is something very valuable to know." Not something I ever expected to hear, but I couldn't agree more.
-
Freaking amazing! Thank you so much for sending all these new folks my way. Can't wait to see what everyone creates!
-
it's so cool hearing someone describe people's unique features in a similar way to how I do. I always feel like such a weirdo describing someone's nose as beautiful when it's, by general standards , considered ugly. I found your channel today and it's really relaxing and inspirational listening to you while I draw.

I came for the technical advise but stayed for how beautifully you spoke about the unique quality of these human faces. Drawing my own face helped me get over my hatred of my features and I began to realize that perception of self is like a piece of art - highly interpretive. I like how you were able to fit that ideal into what could easily have been a simple tutorial.

From a young age on, when I started drawing portraits, I was always drawn to, if not fascinated, by lively facial expressions. Especially men are captured more often making weird faces. That is the reason, why I never felt challenged by smooth, perfect, similar looking pretty girl faces. Strong shadows, wrinkles, strange angles taught me so much. Great Video!

I was struggling with the idea that how much anatomoical drawing matters when we draw real portrait...thank you for your explanation . Its so good. The tutorials vdos usually choose actors, beautiful jaw line and with light and dark contrst photo. But in real people are there in world, and real human being. Not a showpieces. I am so happy to get this.

i hope anything and everything good happens to you dude

drawing is one of the most wonderful things about being alive!

Woah I actually knew about Earth World before this video. Found this video in my recommendations, but saw Earth World in the video preview and had to watch it. Love Earths World. Archive of thousands upon thousands of faces.

Holy shit, it's like you know exactly what I'm into right now 😭👌 pen and ink is my first love. Drawing portraits and figures is something I'm working on/having fun with right now, so this will be great for a background video 🙏
-
The precision you show drawing w/ ink straight out is impressive. Nice!
-
I never drew a full page of faces, for some reason this video inspired me, so thank you
-
2:20 thanks, this is something i was genuinely fristrated with, you put it into words perfectly why my pen drawings looked significantly harsher than the reference because I'd been using refernces with smooth photoshoot lighting, your reference suggestion makes so much sense now
-
JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!! REAL PEOPLE FACES PHOTOS WITH UNIQUE FACES AND EMOTIONS
-
