character turn arounds are my nightmare man I suck so bad

this character looks so cute, I love him

For the people who keeps saying the turning around has style, The reason why this senior artist keeps advice in face match, *because the freaking LINE.* If you don't wanna follow your line in turning character sheets then don't put it in there in the first place.

Guy had guide line but didn't even used it. Edits: Thinking about it, he paint it somewhere else and copy/past it on the characters sheet so that why he didn’t used the guide line to help keep everything consistent.

Honestly! Thanks for the tips! First time actually GETTING an art tip since they can be very vague sometimes, and usually SUCH a learning curve! 😅

Those lines were a nightmare but it did help me notice that things are inconsistent (like the chin and nose) Of course you gotta use if it you add it, or else it’s better to leave them out if they show inconsistencies

I like your style of constructive criticism. You calmly point out what could be improved about the art pieces without ripping the artist's work to shreds.

This reminded me of a different short why "The Charlie Brown Movie" was such a nightmare to develop. The 3D model had to morph in different perspectives to keep with the traditional 2D appearance because nothing was consistent.

I'm surprised by people's lack of context comprehension and knowledge of how the animation industry works. She's a professional giving very valuable tips to people who submitted their portfolios to her. She's not even changing their style! She's giving VERY valuable constructive criticism on how to do a basic turnaround which is very important when building an animation and character design portfolio!! How was that not clear?????

That's has a lot sense now, damn I really didn't noticed that before on drawings X'D, I need to learn a bunch of things about perspective... Thank you very much!

the thing with turnarounds is that i think it’s hard to imagine it as the same figure in place from 4 angles rather than someone turning around in place (like a mugshot). so things like the hat etc being different angles seems “natural” based on how we’ve seen front/side photos irl

genuinely don’t get why there is so much hate, it’s obvious none of u ever went to a critic this is great advice if u want to improve

Put the layer with the lines on top and the ones you draw on below it helps you orient yourself on them better than if you draw over them ❤️

I COMMENTED ON THE WRONG VIDEO IM CRYING

To me it is the inconsistant nose

omg its felps

I REALLY wish I could get this exercise right but this is helpful thank you. It DOES look like he's looking down a little bit on the 3/4 I didn't notice that till you said it

Overall the character is pretty cute

His hat just falled down he dosent have any ropes in his hat 😂

Hes so cute

Reminds me I need to be doing turn arounds for characters I want to animate

Wow a lot of know-it-all's in this comment section. Art professors and directors hate this kind of attitude if you want to work in the industry. Good luck getting work being a smartass

Having the lines for decor in a character turn around is wild lol. I did one turn around once ever and it had multiple layers each with dozen of lines each color coded because i just could NOT keep up with keeping everything lined up. If i had them showing on the final product id have a solid background

I’m not an artist in any way shape or form but I like listening to you talk about art and break it down like this!!

Shes flat? Lois, spin around

I wish I had you as my art instructor, someone who doesn't insult my art but demonstrates the way bodies work. I LOVE anatomy, I draw it any chance I get. I want to have the skills to draw hard dynamics that seem almost like a character is performing on a page, mixed into the pages where I just draw naked characters because I don't really want to hide the anatomy or physique I give a character.. In the past art teachers would force me to draw things I didn't want and things that made me self-conscious of my own body. I had to do everything THEIR way and I never was able to experiment. That was until I was drawing on my own in middle school during classes, and at home, I was always drawing in MULTIPLE books. Now I look at my body and go, "okay" I can work with this. Then brain magic happens when I take a mental image of my body, exaggerate it and distort it, and often times I end up drawing almost "barbie" like characters but also not barbie. Before I would draw men all the time because.. Abs.. and muscles are fun. But now I draw women because THERES SO MANY CURVES AND LINES THAT JUST MM! ya know? 😂 CAll me a perv but the statues in museums are nude and I strive to draw like that. One day, I would love to be able to add my 🤌 fashion-experteese into my drawings and characters. The main thing that I struggle with is faces and adding hands after i have drawn everything else. I can draw hands perfectly fine.. realistically but I have yet to put them into my style.. its more easier to draw hands digitally because I can size everything the way I want to and fix anything that PAINFULLY sticks out. Like a leg not facing the right way, a joint not present, something too big or too small. I'm not good at sizing things right from reference. I can't draw with references.. I either copy them exactly or i get frustrated with my own art that I'm constantly comparing. Geez. I COULD WRITE AN ARTICLE! I can get so inspired by other people that I get mad at myself for not drawing what I see and it looks even more horrible than the art in front of me. I used to be able to just take a body base or a rough sketch of something and go off of that but I grew outta it. Nothing is the way I want it, nothing I'm looking for is on the internet. So I make it myself! 😢

Finding your channel has been so helpful. Ive learned so much about how little i knew

amei o character design do felps miniatura❤

ur hair looks AMAZING

How do we send art??

I love how HUGE the head is it makes them look so cute!

The style reminds me a lot of "The Secret of Kells"/"Song of the Sea"

Looks like the kid that was flattened during the rumbling

This is some really good construction critizism! Anyways, new sub!

i think that they tried to make the character rotate in the first two drawings, but because the feet are still aligned, it feels like it's just looking sideways and kinda misaligned. or it's like when you keep the feet in place but you rotate the rest of your body. it looks kinda off

id love to help in someway with storyboarding, rough animation, cleanup, etc. :)

i love this character so much

You probably won't notice this but, As a 2D artist, how do you get an understanding of this 3 dimensionality. It never works in my head.

"his head is tilted so his nose should be exactly where it was untitled but now it's pointy" makes sense

rotation is hard AF but I live the silly little character

bro that lil guy is so cute inconsistency aside

The character almost looks like baby Aladdin wearing Abu's hat and that's adorable

And if you handed this to a 3d character artist for a game or film they would hate you so much when they had to either fly by their pants or remake references. 😂

Hes such a cute lil guy

I agree with most of what you’re saying except for the nose.

Wonderful constructive criticism!

He looks like that kid that got stepped on and crushed by the rumbling trying to save his little brother in aot.

Wow i learned so much from this

From what I see( a non pro) the artist is also showing how it would look if the head was both tilted up and down. Though that could be better expressed in a separate drawing

1000% helpful and practical advice

Is perfect alignment the point here though? To me the real misstep is "character design portfolio" all lowercase 😅

Could you make a guide on what you want in portfolio (if you haven't already)?

É O FELPS!

Okay I get that she's a professional and has good advice to share and these people are asking for it, but not all her advice tracks. In stylized cartoon animation, features frequently shift based upon the direction a character is facing. It may look off in direct comparison, but it actually helps the character look more fluid and organic when animated. Like, Charlie Brown's nose! Different position from the front to the side/looking up or down, etc. It's purposeful and has a point.

i mean this in the nicest way but did the artist think the guidelines on turnarounds were just decorative?

He reminds me of that kid in aot😭😭😭

this video was recommended while watching a Danny Gonzalez video lol

I love this lil guy he's so cute

Love ur vids!❤ can you help with dragon drawings? Specifically wings of fire or as my book is called, DragonsDawn 😊

Can I just say this character is so cute 😍

It’s giving me Aladdin

Im currently doing a character turn around for animation class!!

Oh my god this character is so cute

That vocal fry is crazy

The hat is called a fez

ngl thought that said "how to fix your trauma" at first lol

This gives me shivers down my spine

Now I know how thanks

I didn’t even notice it to be honest, I was thinking how cute the character was 😭

It's like the character is tilting their head down on the second one.

and know that you don't necessarily HAVE to use it. the Charlie brown 3d movie is a good example of referencing the 2d art over 3d modeling

Animation course i took stressed how important those lines are. You meed them. Amd hos nose was fine just need toake it consistent

Cool hair

The second one was drawn isometrically when it’s supposed to just be to the side💀🤣

Me: Front and back, take it or leave it.

I do not even draw but DAMN are you SO educated it is unreal 😂😦😦😦😦😦

Remember that guide lines of any kind are there to act as restrictions to yourself and the drawing. You cannot just slap random restrictions on your painting and then ignore them. The character is very cute and works great as a character sheet in a character bible but the guide lines DECLARE it as a turning sheet and it simply fails at being that. It pretty much has the same effect as a false link on wikipedia when reading/viewing it as an outside. It confuses for no reason, especially if the link could have just been kept out.

i just did a spinning animation today, why did i have to see this vid AFTER that..

he’s so cute 😭

That's why i use smear frames still

Oh someone made turkish characters🇹🇷

You good boi :3

u look like a how to train your dragon character

Some of y’all just don’t understand constructive criticism

Turn around are the literal worst and I know it’s bc I’m an inconsistent artist. I will draw the same character 20 times and each time something will be different 😂

The hat is acting like Mickey Mouse ears before the edits

Cute but the nose bridge EXPANDS on the third pose

Very ironic to include guide lines and not use em to guide you lol

You should think about turnarounds as if they are 3d models.

É o @felps de chapeu

The second one is in the wrong angle, the camera seems to be more on the top than the other drawings

idk the hat seems right to me

earthbound

I'm never getting into art school 😭

I actually kind of disagree on the hair thing. I think characters that change hair direction on angle is fairly common in more simplified cartoons and it helps keep an interesting shape.

he’s so cute 🙁

He be looking like aladin

Looks like Ramzi from attack on titan

out of topic. you look like Sylvie from Loki s2. you're so cute

Looks like they're looking down at the turning 45° right and then looking up at 90° right
