The anime mouth thing is a perfect example of the problem of people copying style over substance. Anime mouths are drawn that way intentionally to save time because they can keep the head as a single drawn frame and then only have to animate the mouth, not the jaw line as well. It saves on the amount of drawing they have to do which is essential for what they’re doing but not super useful for people wanting to copy the anime style who don’t know the intention behind what they’re seeing.

@DuoMaxwellDS Жыл бұрын

Glad to see someone understand the intention and reason behind that. You will sometimes see anime that have fully facial feature on side view of a head when they want to convey the important of a scene. That one from K-On was for cost and time saving, but people just copied it mindlessly and then claim anime look dumb.

Man, I absolutely hate it when people copy the “anime art-style” of making everyone’s chin pointy as heck. The worst part is when these type of people ask for feedback and you point out the chin and they go “No actually, it’s the aRtStyLe”.

@0Jenna7 Жыл бұрын

It's probably a lot easier to forgive something that's entirely unrealistic like a mouth misaligned with the entire head than be bombarded by something being wrong and not being able to tell exactly what. Jaw movement, plus mouth movement, skin stretching so on.

@maincharactermisty 9 ай бұрын

it’s not even just that I think it is also the fact that people don’t actually know what they’re doing and they’re not willing to seek out new information to get better at the craft because they’re not passionate about it but they are trying to make money from it most times😅

FOR YEARS when I was younger, the techniques I was taught to draw heads (many shapes, cylinders, lines, etc.) just never made sense to me, and it's why I went for a more "cartoonish" style. The shield/bent paper and dotted line down down the side to bring the forehead, nose, mouth and chin out are SO SIMPLE AND EASY!! Thank you so much. You've earned a new sub from me! ♥♥♥

From watching this I have found that I actually use all of these tips already, I think that the head is my strongest point as a draw a lot of them, If I’m drawing a full pose, it’ll include a head, if I’m drawing just the head and shoulders, there’ll be a head! I’m definitely not perfect and need to work on my art outside figure drawing especially with outdoor backgrounds but this just gave me a little boost of serotonin. (I use the loomis method for anyone who wanted to know)
