How to DRAW FACES (From ALL angles) _ Drawlikeasir

Hi guys , my name is Marcell .

And today you're gonna learn how to draw faces from every angle like so I pulled out all the stops for this video .

So there's gonna be a step by step part .

I made animations as always .

And this time I even made 3d models .

I prepared everything I could like some crazy doomsday prepper because this video topic ain't easy and I wanted to make it as simple as humanly possible because I struggled a lot with drawing faces back in the day .

So I know how it is .

The only catch is you need to know how to draw your typical basic face .

If you cannot , then I would suggest you watch my tutorial on it first because you need to learn how to walk before you can run , right ?

So this video is more or less part two and maybe they will even be part three or part four .

But I'll show you guys how to shade or color faces .

You guys are supporting me like crazy right now .

You are sending me so much love and I'm super motivated to return the favor .

So if you're new , you can subscribe because I'll upload more videos about drawing face and also my 100,000 subscriber special soon .

So join my crew become a and we're gonna start with the tutorial .

I suggest you're only watching the tutorial first and then start drawing yourself .

You can use any kind of paper or pencil that you want .

But if you're curious what I'm using , you can check out my website .

There's a whole list of all of my pencils and art supplies there .

Well done .

Let's start with part two of drawing faces .

Let's go .

So since we learned how faces work in part one , we can now arrange those parts in every perspective .

Let's start with a popular perspective .

First , people ask how to draw faces from a three quarter view all the time and that's why this will be first , if you guys recall how we drew faces from the side , this will be almost the same thing with just a few extra steps .

Let's start with the circle as always .

Now , if the middle line is in the middle , your face will be drawn from the front .

And if your middle line goes to the side , your face will be drawn sideways .

And for a three quarter of you , you have to draw it halfway between those .

All the other guidelines will be the same as before .

For example , the next guidelines will also be in the middle and at the end of the circle and don't forget on the device when it comes to proportions to 11 .

And maybe you also noticed how my lines are slightly curved .

It's not that obvious from this perspective , but try getting used to it because other perspectives will require curved lines as well .

You need to start thinking 3d from here on out .

As always , we're placing the ear between our guidelines doing that from the sideways perspective is pretty easy because you can just place it right in the middle of the circle .

But where is the middle of the circle in a three quarter view ?

And like I said , in order to draw this , we need to think more 3d .

So the middle line would be over here if you're not as good with thinking 3D .

That's OK .

That's just a matter of practice .

As always connect the ear and the chin with a jaw and you have one half of the face as a beginner .

I always had problems with the second half , but don't worry , the second half is pretty easy if you know how to draw it .

And that's what I'm here .

For .

First of all , you need another guideline and this guideline will end right here at this horizontal guideline .

And now here comes this guideline into play the cheekbone and of course , that's not a perfect shortcut .

You kind of need to know what you're doing .

But knowing that the cheeks a bit dent in due to the cheekbone is knowledge that can help you a lot when it comes to drawing the face shape .

And speaking of the face shape , we're pretty much done with that .

Everything we still need would be our building blocks from last time .

I now want to face the elephant in the room because most of you probably have problems with placing eyes in this perspective .

As a beginner , you'd naturally think that both eyes are drawn on the same line .

But if you listen carefully , you'd know that this line is actually slightly curved .

So yeah , no ruler in this world is gonna save you here .

I know it's probably not gonna work out perfect right from the start .

But drawing ice like this will get you a lot further .

The most important thing is you get the guidelines and thus the building blocks correctly and then everything else should be relatively easy in comparison .

But if you're still having trouble , art is not only knowledge about how to draw something , but also a lot of practice and actual muscle memory , I've asked people on Instagram if practice , our knowledge was more important and the outcome was kind of what I anticipated .

So you can guess where I'm getting at after this video , you have the knowledge how faces work , but you still need to put in all the practice to actually get it down .

So yeah , it's probably not gonna work out the first time and that's OK .

So when adult always remember knowledge , plus practice equals your artwork .

This is very simple mathematics .

Believe me , I know what I'm talking about .

Really ?

So you were a good student back in math class .

Let's continue with the video .

Of course , there are many more angles from where we could draw a face .

Let's stick to the obvious ones like drawing a face from above or below .

And you guessed it , we're always using the same guidelines as before .

So what we're doing now is to shorten our faces .

I made a whole video about for shortening , but in case you didn't see it , it basically means the parts that are further away , get smaller while the parts that are facing towards us are getting bigger or in layman's terms , 311 and this may look complicated , but the rules are still the very same as before .

The years are still between those two guidelines like I showed in part one and also the nose is still between those two guidelines and the same goes for the eyes .

They are right on the same guideline as they were before .

So yeah , the most crucial part is getting those damn guidelines right ?

If you can do that , you basically have your framework and then you just need to apply the rest on top of the framework .

And yes , I bet there's people out there who don't need guidelines , but they are practically priceless when it comes to learning .

Placing the building blocks is something you should have seen coming .

And now I'm drawing a very basic face out of this .

OK .

Before we draw a face from the bottom angle , there's something you need to know first because we now truly need to think in 3D .

That's the only way we can spot the final part of our puzzle .

And that's this kind of plate right here .

That's a big problem for a lot of artists .

They don't think 3D and miss out on this part right here .

And yeah , I'm aware that this shape isn't exactly anatomically correct because you have your Adam's apple right here when you're a guy and also the shape at the end of the jaw is a bit different .

But you guys know how I roll in order to learn something , we need to keep it simple .

So let's keep this part a triangle for now .

So now we know everything in order to draw a face from the bottom angle .

We're starting out like always with a circle and our basic guidelines .

And now we have to push those guidelines up .

But always keep in mind that those guidelines are always fixated at the ears , maybe imagine it like a visor of a helmet or something .

As always , we now split the face in three parts .

So let's add the new part .

We just learned about the triangle , just be sure to keep the proportions just like before the part that faces towards us is bigger when we draw it in perspective .

If you want to learn more about perspective and want to draw more for shortened objects , you can just watch my video on it .

I think it's one of the best videos on this channel yet and you should definitely give it a watch if you are interested .

You guys know what's next .

That's right .

We add our building blocks , place them like you did before .

You know , the eyes are at the upper guideline , the nose is between both lines and so on .

Something very important I need to mention , since we're drawing everything very curved , you also need to draw your building blocks more curved .

So drawing an eye in this perspective looks kind of like this .

All of this could seem a bit much .

But believe me , once you have the basics down , those things are just details .

So you probably noticed how I've been repeating myself over and over how you're starting with this circle and then you add your guidelines on building blocks , blah , blah , blah .

And that's because it's always the same procedure .

I don't have anything new to teach you guys .

So this is goodbye for now .

But before that , I want to give you guys a little tool that could help you out in the future .

As you guys know , I always give you guys a cheat sheet at the end of my videos .

This time , I have something a bit more versatile .

I've made this 3D model for you .

And yeah , I know it's not pretty or anything .

I have no idea about 3D modeling .

I just made this to be practical .

It's not supposed to win a beauty award or something .

So yeah , it's not gonna be Miss America soon .

But if I make another video about trading , my models will look a bit better .

I promise .

Anyway , on this model , you can see all of the relevant guidelines and building blocks .

So if you ever have problems with throwing faces , just skip to this part of this video and pause the video and then you have your reference for pretty much every angle .

Pretty cool .

Huh .

That was the best visual aid I could think of .

If you guys appreciate the effort I put in all of this , then you know how you guys can return the favor if you haven't already using 3D models is cheating .

No , using 3D models is not cheating .

It's the same as using an anatomy doll or a drawing from a book .

All of those are references , there's only one difference and that's that you are paying actual money for a book or an anatomy doll .

But videos like mine are completely free .

Sorry , I'm a bit worn out from working on my art book for about seven or eight months .

Now , I'm also working on a tutorial part for this art book right now about how I sketch and draw my artworks .

But sadly , it's only gonna be available in German when it comes out .

But don't worry , you don't need to buy it because you still have all of my tutorials here on youtube and they don't cost anything .

They are completely free .

Anyway , here , some lovely people that picked up on my car thing .

And if you're still interested , you can watch more of my videos right here .

Also , if you're interested in my art book , you can check out my website right here .

I've linked all the infos there and my name is Marcel and I'll see you guys next time .

Goodbye .
