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

a drawing book put it this kind of issue for myself in a really good perspective. The more you understand to draw something the correct way (i.e. perspective, foreshortening, shading, etc etc.) the more you criticize your own drawings. Not because youre drawing bad, but because now you understand the correct proportions and or way to draw that object (thing, w/e) and now since youre more knowledgable of how a certain shape is suppose to look. Something drawn incorrectly becomes more apparent to you because now you have an understanding of how that shape / thing should turn out rather than before when you were not as clear on how to draw that specific shape and you just freehanded it and went with whatever looked most correct to what you thought was appropriate... if that makes any sense... i just got back from the bars lol. Wish i had the name of the book because the way they worded what im trying to say completely makes sense and also gives you more confidence in yourself rather than beating yourself up.

The eyebrow thing... The difference in girls and guys is really genetic specific stuff and not at all set in stone. I think you should perhaps refer to masculinity and femininity, because lets face it (no pun intended), we're all different and the whole guy/girl thing is profoundly different in the far ends of the spectrum of femininity and masculinity. Now, I'm NOT trying to nitpick any of this. I merely bring it up because it's a crutch of many seasoned concept artists and illustrators who are stuck in the same boring mindset of no androgynous features. No masculine women, they have to be feminine and sexy (to us). They still do it after 10-20 years, I think it's safe to say that we need to understand that it's not about what biological sex the character has, that always dominates what their features are like. (some people will recognize this on their own, of course. But some will use this as a crutch for years.) This is just an example and isn't addressing what Sycra is teaching here: It's something I notice a lot of artists talk about "Girls need more feminine features" (usually concept art guys). It usually ends with warrior type females being portrayed with either "slutty" or with pro-dominant feminine features, even though a warrior type female character would probably favour practical armour and clothing and rarely any make-up (unless it's war-paint). Character design is something to keep in mind, and you're going to want characters of both spectrum's. The only problem is you rarely ever see anything that isn't a stereotype feminine sex bomb. I'd love to see a video on the very subtle changes that makes us recognize a character as either sex. I feel like it's always all-or-nothing kind of characters people talk about in videos like this. People are a lot plainer than this. You know? *I don't think it's too relevant for this video specifically*, but it's a thing going on everywhere online. A bit ignorant to assume we're all the stereotypes.

***** 100%. I'm guilty of drawing women like that, all the time. But I'd love to see a more indepth video on the small differences that tells us apart. Truth is that there is none. But you'd probably want your character to either be pro-dominantly feminine or masculine to rough that character out. But there are some indicators that will give you hint to the biological sex of that character. Which is why you can sometimes, not always, tell when a girl dresses up as a guy. (Not talking about gender identity here, mind you). I've mixed it up a lot. And I've drawn a lot of characters lately that has strayed from the typical "model" looking people. But they all need love
@Peteru699 жыл бұрын
***** Technically it's all within the spectrum of masculinity and femininity. Some guys are more feminine than some girls. The only way it doesn't go very often is when a woman naturally develops the top-end masculine trades without help of any type of drugs. However, I'm sure it has happened. (I would be lying if I said I was a biologist with a degree, but I know how it works) The skeletal structure of the man and the woman is probably based on hormones in the development stages. We all start as females in the womb after all. And some people have more feminine features than others. I know guys more feminine than some of the girls, and vice versa. That goes for facial features as much as body posture and shape. Of course there is a difference. That's why I wrote it out the way I did. And why I made the initial comment: that I would love to see the subtle changes that reveal the biological gender.
@Peteru699 жыл бұрын
***** Well, the amount of hair in places isn't exactly all that subtle. People are very worried about their "eyebrow game" today, we won't notice how many girls actually have bushy eyebrows because they'll pick those eyebrows until the hairs stop overgrowing. (or they'll shave them off and paint new ones on.. lmao) People hide the differences. Guys workout to hide feminine features. And girls do all manner of things to force femininity. Others simply have it naturally. And we start seeing things in black and white because that's what the norm is. I've known a few guys who's hips were wider than their shoulders until they were 25. Thin wrists, waist and small hands. Little to no jawline action, fluffy eyelids and petite noses. And the same could be said about girls who had prodominant masculine features. We don't notice too often. And sometimes it's because of the social circles people have. Or the area they live in. It's not an attempt to start a huge argument about biology and generalizations. Just wanted to add it in. It's never just black and white.
@drb40749 жыл бұрын
You're right that it should be thought of as "masculine or feminine" rather than male/female. The distortion in modern art to show female warrior types with dominant feminine qualities is what is incorrect. Look at most female athletes. Athletics is about as close to physical warriors that we have. And many of the top female athletes are very clearly imbued with masculine traits. Angular, muscular, man-like features. But that doesn't sell in the art fantasy world. Who wants to look at the East German women athletes in fantasy art? Instead we get waif-like supermodels imbued with superhuman physical ability. I call it the Sci-Fi Chick Stereotype, because most sci-fi fans are men, nerds, and they like hot chicks.

This is what I got from a bunch of artists, most often it is used instead of shadows. At least something like that.

I'm not sure if someone has suggested this to you and of course this is an opinion and you can take it with a grain of salt. I love the content of your videos. I would like to see some more editing. There's a lot of pauses in your speech and ums and uhs. Things that in my opinion take away from the effectiveness of your videos. One thing you can do is record audio and video separate. That way you can just clip all the pauses out or make clips of audio that you insert when you start doing something new. You can do this without changing how you talk or really doing that much more work. I seriously can't get through the whole video because the energy and flow of it is completely killed every time you say um or sigh or make other thinking noises, but I know the content is good and I want to finish so I force myself or skip ahead. Again, just my opinion, but I think it'll really make your videos more approachable, easier to follow and more interesting.

i really like that "new" style of yours :) you talked in a lot of videos about your struggles with drawing and how you didn't really like your style, how you thought about what the "People" like and how you studied every little thing you didn't even really wanted to know. Then you started discovering that you like sharp things and you adapted your style to what you like (i think that's how it roughly went down haha) I have a Problem myself, i try to do a style that's really working for me and i don't really care what others think about it but as soon as i can somewhat draw what i had in mind i suddenly don't really like it anymore and jump to the next thing i think would look cool and then it goes on and on and on, do you (or if anyone else reading this) think it's just a matter of time to find a suiting style or is there a "trick"? sorry for the unrelated comment and for any bad english

The eyebrow rhythm you talk about is simply that the eyebrow sits on the upper ridge of the eye socket. Put your finger on your eyebrow - what you feel underneath is the top of the socket. So, you can just say that the eyebrow sits on the socket.

Something I've noticed is the corners of the mouth are usually directly below the pupils or slightly inward from there. I mostly draw female portraits if that seems to matter.

Im drawing about 20years from now. To me, its the best hobby and the only way to recharge myself is by beeing alone for a while, for someone who is not comfortable with silence, it might be the wrong hobby. With all my knowledge and experience i can assure everyone that i stil struggle a lot, because im trying to discover new things, i hate repeading myself. But i barely feel like i nailed it 100% when im finished. Maybe 2-6 times a year im satisfied with a drawing. And thats exiting to me, beeing creative. Sometimes i feel like im gonna fuck up anatomy as bad as u can and i come up with the scariest monsters you could never imagine. The feel of satisfaction is so strong when i do one of these 2-6 times a year picture, i cant quite compare it with something else. Id have to fuck 500 times a year and it wouldnt be close to what i feel. I have one friend in particular who doesnt get my art, or art in general. Never ask those people or random people what they think of your drawings, not everyone has the capacity to understand the diffrence in amateurwork and masterpieces. That friend i mentioned has only an eye for realistic pictures but lacks the knowledge to diffrenciate between wrong anatomy and deliberate proportionchanges. The other friends of mine or lets say the majority of people that saw my pictures say random shit, like ...nice picture, great work blabla... Dont listen to that, learn basics, and only trust yourself, go for the gut feeling. If you are happy with it, it is great. Let your art check by skillful people on the internet if you are not sure about mistakes. To get better, you have to know anatomy in and out. Even i make mistakes, more often than i want to admit, but i have an eye for finding my own errors. I spend 20-30 hrs on a picture on average, hand drawn. I need much longer for digital art, because i dont feel comfortable with it yet. Sometimes i draw 50 faces from scratch until i am satisfied with the result of the musclestructure / bonestructure and so on. Time has no value once i hold a pencil. I hope my insight can help you on your journey, young padawan. If you made it til here, i a certain that you have the paitence to be one day my equal at the very least.

I think, nobody cares about it... :) BUT this rhythm from eyesocket to eyebroow is one of the first things I realized, when I started drawing and observing my own face - it´s really a prominent feature! I don´t understand, why so less artist care about it?!?

That eye and eyebrow rythm connection naturaly exist, you can see that under specyfic light conditions. I've been using it as well as a building tool since I'd discovered it even if they're not visible from the actual point of view. :)

One thing I have a lot of trouble with is placing a hat on the head, how the lines meet and placement - I just can't seem to get it right. I'll have a look to see if you have a video about this, but if not you might consider doing one on placing clothing over your model drawing.
