This is the first tutorial that actually made me excited to draw, not scared.
-
common issues should be a series, like common issues drawing bodies, feet, hands, legs, trees, etc
-
another thing some people have a problem with is to realize that nothing in nature is "perfect"
when ever I drew faces (facing to the front) I always tried to make them look as symmetric as possible
then one day I looked into my bathroom mirror, one with 3 parts, played around with them a little bit and accidentally hold them in an angle where I could see myself how others would see me and realized how uneven my face looked: my eyes were not the same, my nose slightly pointed to the side etc.
now I don't mind when the faces I draw don't look perfectly symmetric :)
of course there's a difference between realistic and stylized designs like anime but it's still nothing to be sad about -
the way you teach is so laid back, almost relaxing! it doesn't follow this strict form like most people's, stuff like "you must draw like this". You offer helpful tips, and its honestly really interesting to watch. thanks for taking the time to teach us!

I've noticed that I'm really good at copying proportions yet when it comes to using my imagination i completely fail to grasp all my knowledge, and it turns out horrible. is it only me?
-
My biggest problem is drawing noses its something that i can draw once in a while but i cant wrap my head around the anatomy of it, everyones is so different and it frustrates me to draw them.

I really love how you teach, Sycra. I always lose inspiration and tend to delay my unfinished artworks for weeks. Whenever I see you teach and draw, it all comes back. Like, wow...

Never apologize for having a style, that is a very touchy subject for me...still practicing.

Sycra is one of the best Art teachers. I love how he explain everything by the way that we all can understand and improve our art. Good job!!

You and Proko are the two most helpful to me. Thank you!! Keep up the great works!! I'm also more analytical than intuitive and your approach is really useful to me.
-
Everytime I'm in trouble with something you're uploading a video to explain how to do it right. You're awesome man and no thanks will be enough to tell you how thanksful we are for your work !

Brilliant guide. I'm coming back to drawing and illustration work and re-learning techniques I thought I knew well but your process has made this so much easier.

I touched my face the whole video and it helped me really to understand it.
I never drew humans so often but I want to like.. I want to understand it and to learn it and touching your face while watching this was helping me a lot... and this sounds so creepy -
