How To Draw Faces- Front View: CARTOONING 101 #1

Don’t miss out on the rest of the Cartooning 101 series! youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnAI9peyZRkEwMES5DDl9-4…

Mind: looks easy. Hand: I can't even draw a circle :(

why was this 20 minute video more helpful than my whole year of illustration at uni lol

As way of encouragement to those who feel like they can't draw a proper circle: The funny thing about mastering circles for me tends to be to include them in my warm up repetitions, before I get started with any other practice or projects. So - I'll just keep making a circle in one spot, without lifting my pen or pencil, until it starts to actually look circle-shaped. It'll be scribbles, but it will be pleasingly round after about 5 or 15 passes. Then I move over and do it again, but this time, it tends to take fewer repetitions. After enough of these, in a row, my arm seems warmed up to the idea of being comfortable with drawing circles and then it's less of a worry to get them right in whatever I'm working on. They still might not be perfect, but they WILL be better. It usually takes me about 15 minutes to do "warm-ups". This is several different repetitions, including circles and curves. (your time might be more or less than this - whatever works for you) Doing warm-ups also seems to help me relax in general. And reducing stress is something we all can use these days. Hope that helps! :-)

Him: Draws a spooked/surprised character Me: Draws a skull with dead eyes that still haunt me in my dreams

I'm absolutely 100% beginner. I have already watched this video over 10 times and my drawing skill improved. Thank you 3000.

Have never known how to draw well, but returning to your series over and over will certainly help me learn. Thank you for such great content!!

Him: draws a circle in one go Me: struggles for 5 minutes

I’ve always felt like I was artistic and could be good at drawing but never knew how. I’ve tried following lots and lots of tutorials and they sort of work but I can’t ever put my own spin on them. And with this video...I’ve made 7 of my own characters. Great tutorial!

Looking forward to this series! And you’re right, most “how to” videos really don’t explain the “how” and certainly not the “why.” Thank You for taking the time to create these videos! 👏🏾👏🏾 They’re greatly appreciated ✌🏾❤️

I think I learned more from 24 minutes with you than 24 HOURS worth of Udemy "How to draw characters" videos. Absolutely amazing, please keep up the great work!

I've done the first 3 tutorials in this series so far and I'm loving them! Thank you for taking time to explain "why" you do certain things. The format of using the same principles to draw 2 or 3 differently-styled faces in the same video is very helpful, too. This series really gives me more hope and confidence that I can improve as an artist.

a few hours ago I tried to follow along and got really frustrated and put it down, but I didn't want to give up, tried again now and I was able to do it! that gave me a confidence boost after days of not doing any progress love your way of explaining, really great video. Gonna go through the playlist day by day. SUBSCRIBED

Glad I found this series! I have really needed help with expanding and further defining my semi-realistic cartoony art style that I really like. And this has proved a great guide for that! I really look forward to watching your videos on eyes and hair. Both very important elements in defining your characters and your art style.

What an amazing tutorial. I normally draw realism so I understand regular proportions. It's much harder to wrap my head around cartoony proportions (and it actually look good). This has helped so much. Thank you.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm genuinely excited to learn more from your videos. Thank you very much for your trouble.

Thank you so much for this cartooning series! I've been drawing since I was 5 (I'm now 38) and I had forgotten the building blocks per say, I've been on a bit of a break from drawing...few years lol. Watching your videos, is helping me get back to the artist I once was and helping me to be the artist I want to be. Thank you again and keep going with the awesome tutorials!

One of the best lessons that I found, straight foward and it made a lot easier, thank you so much for this tutorial, truly helpful!

You are helping my drawing so much! I'm loving this series, as well as the Let's Draw stuff. Great work!

By far my favourite tutorials on YouTube. You’ve made me fall back in love with drawing and I am so grateful for you!!!
