Drawing an Anime Face - Basic Proportions

[rabzero01]

this was pretty good. :)

[abec7]

I can't even draw the circle

[BarloDaDawg]

One word: Oh My Gawd!



[xdante0vergilx]

Oh my god...

man i hate my self after watching this

[niddasa]

sometime i can draw a picture and it will look AWESOME. then, the next time i draw i may never even get satisfied with even the face simply because one side is slightly off from the other and it looks weird. its killing me. i need to know how to fix this problem.

[dnachosen1]

@niddasa thats a good sign about yourself it shows you have artistic side in u

[PKMNwalkthrough95]

Man! I want to learn about drawing anime in a piece of paper not in PC!

[Envoid344]

@PKMNwalkthrough95 same concept :P

[HenWithLogic]

@PKMNwalkthrough95 He certainly used a graphics pad, so you can almost get the same result with a sheet.

[embrace123ful]

okay now im pissed. i have been trying to draw that stuff for two years now and i still am not there yet >.< how the hell does she do it?????? the world may never know............

[SpeedyAvatar]

i just realized almost every manga/anime how to draw video always has at least a bit of a girl

[Leafshinoby]

It looks like saber from Fate Stay Night, man I like how she's drawn :)

[WalomNor]

the music makes me feel like a retard that cant draw at all....

[L4ionh4rt]

@WalomNor Lol, the music makes me KNOW i'm a retard that can't draw

[bprayer]

[Patzertje]

awesome tut!

and nice music btw :)

[bondgo444]

thats great

[MrDami123]

When you work with layers it is easier ;D

[cadlm7]

Hmmm because of the eyes, I can tell its a girl..... but I must say.... the shin.... its quite big, big enough and rough enough to be that of a man's.

I recomend to try and make the shin with two lines from the ears, it makes it look much more slender, and gracefull, you should try it out.

[chazz6666]

@cadlm7 he didnt even draw a shin though but he did draw a Chin* =P

[cadlm7]

@chazz6666 lol yeah, well I've never studied english in the U.S. so im bound to make mistakes, so thank you for pointing it out, I'll make sure to not make that mistake again.

[gaaxsakugirl13]

haha the music sounds like it should be in a miyazaki movie! xD

[Germanspirit21]

pro... his sketch is very slumber style....

[ultimaterobloxian]

the music made me smile :D lol

[tirumal909]

you are genius! thanks for the video.

[WhiteWingedBaka]

This reminds me of Kara no Kyoukai, "Garden Of Sinners"

Great anime

[nyckats]

[therealdmt]

Wow, excellent.

[TheSkaterx3]

[sirmousalot11]

[xxheroguyxx]

impossible for me to do this in com == i made a mess out of it D=

[animechannel111]

i like the music!

[Yxtela3014]

jajjaa funny music

[GaryTheMoomau]

this was better than most vids from people who only do "how to draw manga" greatness

[superpaper99]

my bigest trouble is the hair.

and to me. if the hair is wrong the whole thing is bad. its just something bout it... nice drawing btw. i prefere god old fasion grafite. lol.

[juicyapplegirl]

[TheGameHeaven]

That's awesome!

[HellGnomez]

this person doesnt really asnwer anybodys comments..

[juicyapplegirl]

LOL your right he/she dosen't

[demonqueenzeo]

Heh, I agree, with this account as well as my other account i've commented so many times, yet no answer.

Well people have lives it's understandable when you have like 60k viewers on every video, and more than half of them comment.

[GaryTheMoomau]

yes..he/he does...

[Dragoniak93]

PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE MUSIC 1:40 , pleasee can you call me the Name of all Music Titles in this Vid, Thx !

[alunawulf]

[DantendoDS]

[gaetatt]

[fireflowerretardet]

[MattBikeeer]

[plakky]

awesome! good work , which program are u using because i want to learn this things to :D great job

[00GuitarHeroGod00]

I ADORE you as an artist, and I am hoping to become one with a fraction of the skill you have. You are my idle, and I hope you keep coming out with AMAZING videos! I'll keep practicing =D

[18tomgirl]

AWESOME!!

[supyall]

Instead of drawing on one layer, try using multiple layers so when you erase, you can erase the whole layer rather than carefully doing it :)

[Eremenatar]

wow u got to be a super pro to draw with a mouse

[akasunanosasori01]

tablet :p

[tubehax]

wow how do you go from crappy to amazing in such a way ?!

[mofo1223]

wow that was so amazing.

very artistic 5 stars all the way

[animeaddict2817]

omg you have no idea haw helpful it is!

[piegames1]

the mouth isnt connected but besides that its amazing 5/5!!!!! :-)

[RKAS43]

I think there are some Manga styles that don't connect the mouth.

[KingDanteKillsYa]

yes a lot of anime artist dont connect the mouth^^

[rdxroseroberts]

super cool Drawing

[DysisChimaira]

Great video, but (if you are able to) you should use layer but probaly thats not a possibility on painter. Keep on doing these!

[akavioletcarson]

Very helpful video and much appreciated! ^-^

[ballpointpen333]

its a gret vidoe and im not givin u shit but that music is GOD AWFUL

[bobthedwarf135]

it's just a different style :P

[AngelosJay]

wow nice ^^

very beautiful eyes :)

[Kieru002]

realy awsome ._. i bet you would be ( if you'r not already) a great Mangaka ._.

[AwesomeGirl86]

Awesome! :)

[darkvegeta4]

Also if anyone wants the music that begins at 1:30 I have the mp3 for it. It's actually easy to get. Just download this video as a mp3 then use a editing program(like mixcraft)and take the part from 1:30 through 3:30 out. Now you only have that part:) If someone wants it but can't get it themselves just ask me for it. Later.

[anime1245goddess]

is it just my computer or is the youtube video screen thingo gone wide screen? please reply, i need to know if, for the who time i have used youtube, i just noticed it. lol.

[darkvegeta4]

The screen has been made into widescreen. They just did it today. I really like it.

[anime1245goddess]

oh good, thanks for letting me know.

[ButterF214]

u keep your hand so steady..how do ppl do that?

[TreeOfMemories]

ButterF214 :

They use graphics tablets, those make it equal to drawing with a pencil. :]

[armorofcruxis]

Wow, this is awsome. Are you using your right hand when drawing this?

[bolowke666]

it was very easy to do that too xD but thank you before i don`t know how xD

[AntiXRoofXBomber]

That was so pro XD

[Jusu09]

omfg he uses a tablet what means he uses a pencil cursor u know..drawing to tablet/drawtable goes to screen :)

[john305305]

man u a pro u make it so easy

[soulcaptor12]

very nice... what program is being used and is it free and small? also is there an easier way to rub off the markings you do when u start off instead of rubbing out good work? help would be much appriciated.

[neoneo23]

your not even using a pencil and it looks GOOD 5/5

[di3happy]

PC's are better than pencil's...

Just saying.

[GetLikeLacey]

I SO agree alllll the way :|

[johnxtech]

hey possible u give out the tiles of the songs? thier rly nice

[johnxtech]

cool oni the hair and eyes i am having troubles

T_T

[ayushcss]

amazing what some people can do with just some paper and pencils.

[aledivn88]

WHAT PAPAER AND WHAT PENCILS???

[neilcarilla]

holy crap i cant do it... :(

[ImHereToRule]

dam i have so much problems with hairs i just cant make them...omg can any1 help me plz

[619ver1]

i think the hardest part are the eyes, somehow i dont manage to draw good eyes T.T

[BurningWater666]

how the hell do you make it look so easy.

at the start i was like 'thats a really rough outline'.. but 3 minutes later realtime it was better than any of my drawings T.T..

[Alania123]

Whyyyy why do you make it look so easy :'(

No matter how much I try, my drawings turn out like shit.

[Tagud]

practice, put your style/twist in it. then it'll turn out okay.

[soulfoodmonkey]

the music reminds me of a movie about lil kids..lol

[mofohofo]

i am new at this.. she seems rather old is this cause her eyes were more smaller

[FaithyTheWeird]

That and i think it looks like that coz the face is rather long and pointed. Check out my page for more tutorials :)

[XxPinkChaoxX]

wow thats nice

X_x

[ProGamer1508]

Is this a program that u use? And where can i download this?

[carefuleugene12]

before i start to draw anime tell me this. are you gifted with such skill? or can anyone pick up anime drawing skills. someone respond to me.

[Albee91692]

Just like many other things, you have to learn how to draw. Anyone can draw anime if they practice. Sometimes people pick it up faster than others, thats all.

[Avakeda]

The song that plays at 1:30:

[Malevolancy]

Thanks a lot for posting! I used to draw things realistically, like still life, but i don't see much excitement in drawing what is actually there. Anime is much more imaginative.

[sketcherlove]

what is anime anime is (BIG EYES) different colur hair and that

[KillaTequilla83]

anime is an art style =P

[Csp499]

Aye, I thankyew fer this.

[runescapeluvr1]

perfect...but...............wt­f is anime

[VildeChan]

Anime basically means japanese cartoons ^_^ Though it's different from other types of cartoon in both the type of stories and drawings..

[LondonMuffins]

Anime means 'animation' in Japanese, not Japanese Cartoon.

[2SunMedia]

isn't anime the ANIMATED version of manga style characters???? Well its a Japanese drawing/cartooning style where there characters have very large glassy eyes, spiky/pointed hair, sharp features and less attention on the mouth and nose.... just look at the vid you'll see

[BleachyNote]

wow good job but can someone please please tell me the name of the second song that starts at 1:30

[Avakeda]

It's from the Noein soundtrack, most likely a piano variation of "Haruka's theme." Check it out on Galbadia Hotel.

[dragonbz123]

what program u using?

[isatyp]

fantastico!!

[Omnivoe]

I like the music from 3: 41 to the end. What is it called. Nice drawing

[lgchocolate200]

Ace, this has improved my drawing by 100%. lol. plz post more vids of how to do more detail.

[brandonviz]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeet!!!!!

[KoolAiddroolaid]

YESS!!!

Thank you for reminding me to use proportions!!

[xLubzix]

[MissusVanHelsing]

[Estagon67]

[kittenloverforever]

[neplix3chic]

[KlaasTuil]

Gratz and go on!

[Romeo15671]

thanks alot i kept on not sueing tecnics lol and i could never do animi i could only do cartoony stuff but after ratemydrawrings i love it !!

[Animefan885]

thats really good.

[acov11]

why are anime people always angry, EXTREMELY happy or EXTREMELY depressed? Just wondering. I'm a HUGE fan of anime just to clear things up.

[nfwu]

Search google for Hiro Shitaku. First link on newgrounds. It's a vid explaining the history of anime.

[blackswight334]

what did you use to make it ???

[KCrenshaw09]

god mines came out hideous, i did much better on the realistic looking male head

[Sandline99]

Excellent video! Please do more

[caramandunga100]

k chevere dibujas brother...

[Rafusdibarbarius]

...amazing...lol

[ApprenticeAlchemyst]

nice eyes. having to draw using a mouse is also amazing too. However, I don't like pointy heads.

[bartasbxx]

it not a mouse that he is using

[lockmyheartaway]

i love the second song so much. and amazing drawing too....i love the anime style of drawing, and no matter your drawing ablitlites it seems to come out pretty good :)

[hackedbg]

or LACK of proportions. Does everyone have pointy heads ? God i hate these 'artists'

[ElectricRain0]

...Go away.

I thought she was pretty. :D I need to see color though... I'm trying to find videos where they add color to see how easily that can be done... man I wish I could draw. :(

[sarahb15]

its anime style stupid -_-

[AnimeladyOMG]

WHAT? No it's not!

[AnimeladyOMG]

ANIME is a type of CARTOONING. As in, things are distorted and exagerated. CARTOONS as in Mickey Mouse are the same story. Do mice really look like Mickey Mouse? NO. Do people look like anime people? NO. They are just fun, cartoons made for the enjoyment of children and maybe even in some cases, teenagers and adults when it comes to anime.

I thought the video was VERY nice.

[SdrawkcabEesI]

This video is titled... "basic proportions".

[HookedOnHarry]

Hey, do you have any sketches you need linearted? xD

[HookedOnHarry]

Corel Painter is a great program. :)

[ImaCSGamer]

is sycra not using camtasia studio???

i saw it on other tuto's

btw ITS AWESOME as ever

[ugh255]

no ears!! lol..

[fmaneko217]

Most likely they are hidden behind her hair...

[elegantTURTLER]

i was thinking sycra, you know how adobe is used for this stuff, i'm getting into the anime business slowly (hopefully, still at college) but i was wondering, since your using adobe to draw this quick but finely drawn picture, can you not jus create another layer..one for your rough layout and one for your main piece...just wondering, adn trying to help :D

E.Turtler

[Mangotropolis]

I forgot to ask.. Which Wacom Tablet do you use..?

[Zakira666]

hey, looks nice. Using different layers would make it easier for you to erase the sketch lines^^

[frelly01]

great!

[EvilFartMaster]

the first song suck btw good drawing :)

[SonOfAnIdiot]

WOW.

That's a great picture!

(Wish I could draw like that!)

[krazEEkunai]

beautiful drawing and music

[cky727]

No ears?

[xeroaxlvx]

beutiful... LOL the songs 10/5

[XAytherxRedictusX]

Photoshop+ a drawing palet. You're one bloody helled lucky guy to have a Pallet.! D:<

My parents won't let me buy one. ._.

[dajoker2007]

what program is that??? i whant it!

[TWOHEADEDOGRE]

That's cool

[Gryffindorwizkid]

Thats so cool how do you get the lines so perfect mine keep going all crooked.

[Daeowan]

It's a rather emotionless sketch, but I'm sure your focus was showing the process rather than an exceptional drawing. You have a wonderful simplistic approach, and I especially enjoy your attention to the eyes, neck, collar bone, and all the muscles that make the upper body so attractive in a portrait like this.

[lpbassics]

Wow you are very talented, I've been watching a lot of your vids but this is the first one that made just want to post! Speed sketch #5 is still my fav tho =D

Keep up the great work!

[moogiedude]

omg u r so far one of the best artists ive seen on youtube

[ZennyChan]

I draw eyes differently...but I think this vid changed my habit xD

Great tutorial. ^_^

[MrDuDeTheFirst]

amezing !

and very helpfull !!

[DrawAmatour]

OMG this is good! The only thing here better than this is the one about Kiba - but that was by an proffesional, though. And her eyes... i practised that somewhile and im getting good at it! Exellent video? BTW any1 who knows what that piano song is called?

[biscotti2u]

ah! thank you so much! im usually pretty hopeless with drawing people, but this helps a lot

[TheSilverLightning]

Omg zomg...

I can feel her emotions.... Her eyes so are... live and full of feelings!

[Br0kenW1ng]

cute

[Sefearion]

Nicely done, was happy to see the gradual process of how you created that face. The eyes I really loved ^_^.

Props on the music, keep up the good work!

[gunosaguki]

why must your music choices be so good. i get distracted by the music and forget im watching a video XP

[Lovedoctersar]

excellent!

Do you have a DA account??

[etane1]

Does anyone know the piano piece that starts around 1:30?

[pakisupp]

That was actually really helpful.

Thanks ;)

[RandomNigel]

That is it. I <3 you.

I'm so going to use that technique to draw regularly. XP

[aniMeteor]

amazing thanks ive got some new ideas now really maybe u can make a manga comic

[tintappo]

Thank you that was so good to watch. You have amazing talent. I am so pleased to be able to subscribe to your videos. Good fortune. Barry

[70k0]

As said before, another good video.

Really liking that even though you're drawing an anime type sketch, you keep the realism in it, which is a style that I'm very fond of.

Keep up the good work.

[Lovedoctersar]

Nice job, looks good!

[paperback333]

once again, great drawing Sycra!
