The Best Way To Practice Drawing

And then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna curve a line up here so that this eyebrow will come down and meet the cheekbone right now .

It kind of looks like it's more of a mathematical drawing .

And from here you can kind of continue that uh potato y shape , find the ones that you like .

So there's always like this weird V thing that happens right here .

You can see this a lot when you do like cartoon drawings because you'll see like the cheek comes out little alien guy or whatever .

Ah oh no , it's baby Yoda .

This part echoes that part .

It's a V same how this part is a V right here .

When you turn it , it becomes sort of like this shape like you're folding a piece of paper , you know what I mean ?

Which is ironically kind of the same shape as lips .

Isn't it crazy how everything is all related to each other ?

Like humans , don't we all come from the same person .

Kerman problem number eight .

Whenever I draw the ears , I always have to draw an erase and draw an erase over and over .

How do I get it right ?

The first time , generally , when the face is facing towards you straight on the ears will go from the eyes to the nose and I like to make it kind of thinner at the bottom .

Now , if the head is tilted down , then the ears will go up , head is tilted up , ears go down .

Ears always go the opposite of the way that they're facing .

Problem number nine .

Ok .

I watched a how to draw an eye tutorial .

I got that down but I can't get it to look right when I put it on the face , what can I do ?

What I like to do is make the insides of the eyes darker and then gradually get lighter as you go on .

So what this will do is it'll kind of imply that the eyebrows and the bridge of the nose are kind of cast in a shout and we kind of imply that there's like a little bit of eye bags right here too .

Now all of a sudden it looks like you just went squished his eyes right into his face .

It looked like they belonged on that face .

Now , your face doesn't look so flat .

Problem number 10 .

OK .

I drew a good face but I'm not sure how to do the hair .

How do I make it look like those really good artists that I look up to ?

OK .

So a big common thing is like people try to draw their hair like this , right ?

And the problem with this is you have to draw literally thousands of lines for it to look good .

If you only draw 100 lines , it's gonna look like their hair is falling out like they're a zombie or something .

Ok .

Don't use lines , use shapes .

So if we're gonna block out this person's hair , just the outline , that's your hair .

I'm just colored in the cool thing about doing it this way is that when you have really lightly shaded hair , you can go in and add some volume to the hair if it wasn't right the first time , you know what I mean ?

And because this part is too dark right here compared to the rest of it because I messed up and I had to add some parts to it .
