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.
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”.
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.
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😅
@@smokebomb024 people click on a video for the content that the title tells them about. sometimes intros are very long, it's nice when videos get straight to the point
@@smokebomb024 but of course, no one should outright shame creators for having intros. this person didnt do that though, they were just expressing appreciation for how straight-to-the-point the video is (which tutorials and similar videos really should be imo)
I’m so glad to see the “sheet of paper” method!!! I remember learning about that technique in a Sinix video yearrrrrrrs ago and it was such a game-changer!!
okay but the bent piece of paper advice is golden. i've never had something explained so simply yet thoroughly and easy to comprehend. definitely subscribing! this tutorial is great!
I genuinely never learn anything from art tutorials, but winged cavas… you guys are just like- the way I learned how to draw people. Thank you guys so much!!
This video sold me on subscribing to you. You go in depth of the rights and wrongs of drawings, and I think its important for everyone to know that. Thank you for actually teaching in depth.
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! ♥♥♥
This is my favorite art channel to date. All of the information you give is extremely helpful. I've been drawing since I was 11 and even now I still have trouble with some of the basics. Thank you for all you do 💜
I just found your channel and I wish I could like… hug your face bc u have SAVED my art I never understood the lines and circles when building a sketch, but you broke it down so simply and made it easy to apply to any art style, not just realism/semi-realism. And for FREE? You absolute saint.
DUDE- This was all I needed to subscribe- Like, I struggle with head angles so much and this seems so simple and elegant!! I absolutely love it! Thank you so much for posting this, I'm beyond thrilled to try this out when I draw some more this summer!!
I love your videos so much because they teach you without being intimidating. Like, it breaks things down so wonderfully that it’s so simple to follow. Please keep doing what you’re doing, because you do it amazingly!!
I've been drawing for over 6 years and tutorials like this still always help me out. YOU ALWAYS HAVE ROOM TO IMPROVE ON SOMETHING!! You will NEVER be able to 100% master art.
I've watched a lot of your videos and I love how simple but specific your explinations are! Thank you for helping artists, like myself, improve our art issues :)
I was having a very hard time trying to practice heads, your advice about the bent sheet of paper helped me a lot with the perspective. Now I finally feel that I´m making some progress. Thank you!!
Omg the paper tactic is a game changer. I’ve been struggling to draw heads lately because I’m used to the “ball-shield” thing. But I’m 100% going to start using this!!
aaaa thank you so much, I’m binging all your vids rn, it’s like my 3rd eye is being opened. Can’t believe you don’t have more subs, these are some of the best tutorials I’ve seen on yt.
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)
Omg! This is the first video I found of yours and I can already tell you are gonna help me a lot. It’s hard to find actually helpful art tutorials on youtube, or generally just for free so I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the lessons that are easy to follow. Also, about why some anime has an oval for a mouth in a sideview, im pretty sure its just a cheat during animation process so that they can pump out these serieses faster
I love love love your content - but the pop-up dings/rings are sooooo annoying because you have a calm, soothing voice and a jolting jingle (yes to get your attention) but can you drop the volume on the jingle so it's very subtle, please? Otherwise keep up the great work.
I love these lessons and super appreciate the advice about the paper thing. It immediately helped with my sketching. I wanted to say though that bell is a bit loud and startling.

That advice about the face being a circle with bent paper is literally genius
I literally had an enlightenment. I felt like my life is no longer the same, divided into before and after this video. I'll go draw some heads
think it was sycra who came up with that
though he wasn't credited
I accidentally used the bent paper while drawing hands in the past, it worked really well
I saw that in a Sinix video, but it is possible for people to come up with the same idea independently

i really love how you don't even have an intro, you go straight to the point
I have absolutely no idea why so many people are shaming other youtubers for having intros

We are so glad to be able to help!
you know shes a good artist when she can make her donts look good for some reason
Yes 😂 my don’ts like like someone who doesn’t even know what they’re doing *at all*
okay but the bent piece of paper advice is golden. i've never had something explained so simply yet thoroughly and easy to comprehend. definitely subscribing! this tutorial is great!
I watched video years ago of Jim Lee giving this advice and Ive also seen someone explain it as a mask. Great tip
The bend paper for face angle is very useful! Thank you🤍
I genuinely never learn anything from art tutorials, but winged cavas… you guys are just like- the way I learned how to draw people. Thank you guys so much!!
I have been struggling with head angles for YEARS using the ball and shield method. You just completely blew my mind with the paper method.

perfect guide, you're awesome ♥
I have never heard of the bent sheet of paper thing. That’s so smart! Definitely trying that my next drawing I do
Envisioning a sheet a paper for the face has to be the single best piece of art advice I have ever heard. Immediate improvements with drawing faces.
I hate watching tutorials videos because I usually get bored but you went straight to the point and actually gave some solid advice. Thanks! 😁
I've been drawing for over 6 years and tutorials like this still always help me out. YOU ALWAYS HAVE ROOM TO IMPROVE ON SOMETHING!! You will NEVER be able to 100% master art.
Thank you for making this less than 10 minutes. Straight to the point
This is amazing how you explained heads in a simple way for everyone to understand.
I've watched a lot of your videos and I love how simple but specific your explinations are! Thank you for helping artists, like myself, improve our art issues :)
I felt a key open something in my mind when you used the paper method. I’ve never heard of that method in all my life of drawing. It’s really helpful!
I never knew about the shield. Imagining a shield that rotates around a ball makes this so much easier for me!!
I tried drawing a side profile, and now thanks to your advice it actually looks good!
As a new artist, this helped a lot. Thank you.
The paper-face technique really helped get my mind around the shape and perspective.
OMG! That bent sheet of paper is the awesomest drawing tip I've ever seen. Thank you. That's gonna help so much.
I hope...
I was having a very hard time trying to practice heads, your advice about the bent sheet of paper helped me a lot with the perspective. Now I finally feel that I´m making some progress. Thank you!!

Omg the paper tactic is a game changer. I’ve been struggling to draw heads lately because I’m used to the “ball-shield” thing. But I’m 100% going to start using this!!

your tutorial is gold its like simple bit plain helpful tysm
Took a break from drawing, ive been struggling with faces and this video showed me exactly why, ty ty.
I've been crashing and burning with drawing faces recently, and I feel like I used to draw them better. I hope this will help me out.
