I had a dream about a giant sunfish in the sky once. It doesn’t sound very scary, but it would be pretty terrifying irl.
I hate sunfish so that sounds terrifying to me!
@@pitchcanker why the unnecessary hate man 😭
Dreams are strange like that … sometimes there’s something terrifying but your not scared other times you wouldn’t be scared but are in the dream. It seems to be your brain seeing what gets a reaction and maybe forcing you into a fake reaction.

Im a horror artist too, its rare to find proper horror artists beyond a speedpaint. Im inspired.
I almost went the speed paint route, but I’m happy I’ve been explaining the process more! Thank you for watching
These thumbnails are jumpscaring me on the toilet. Keep up the good work Pitch 👍
Low key the perfect place for a jump scare- thanks so much for watching dude!
Did it scare the shit out of you?
Offsetting the face scientifically makes things more scary. It is an action all of us do subconsciously, usually when we are listening to someone. In other words, when we are focused on someone. Something that can be defined as “scary” like the things you draw here being focused on you tingles those little neutrones in your brain, Telling you to run. These things are so fun to analyse and use when you know a little about body language!
when he zoomed in at 3:21 it genuinely jumpscared me
When it comes to uncanny human faces I like to think of corpses! It’s actually the theorized origin of the uncanny response, where it would dissuade ancient humans from getting sick by messing with corpses. Bloated, dilated eyes, slacked features, and sunken eyes are my personal go-tos.
You should make more of these "uncanny aspects" videos, really good work
I might make it a mini series! It’s been fun so far
6:13 I noticed this, but If you cover the left half it looks like a guy threatening you, but if you cover the right half it looks like a super happy fella
I love those sort of accidental dichotomies!
he’s just a silly little fella!
Hi I love my analog horror and these videos really help a lot on using procreate and the uncanny expressions and your videos have opened a lot of doors of new ideas and drawings thank you :) ❤❤
Dude sick to hear you’re staying inspired! Procreate is a really amazing program, and amazingly accessible for the price point
@@pitchcankerBy the way, i love your brushes! Are they an imported set or from the Procreate library?
@@louisquartersson4555he talks about the brushes at 5:24 :)
Seeing the process of a scary face also helps make it a bit less scary, I have an issue with pieces like these because they get me a lot, and I keep thinking about them in the dark... But like this it is a bit more grounded, thank you!
I love spooky scary, and creepy looking caricatures. Need more content like this on youtube
I’m trying to fill that void! I’m always looking for scary art content but can’t find a lot
I’m so excited you posted this! Uncanny art is always top tier
Thank you! Excited to post more in this series of concepts
@@pitchcanker Heck yeah, I’m utterly obsessed with your art past few days and I’m excited to see what cool abominations you come up with next
I'm actually too scared to draw one of my OCs front view. He looks too psychotic in front view. It's as if I tried to fit the eyes of a wild animal on him.
My favorite creepy sketch I've made was just a woman turned upside down and standing on the ceiling in a hallway. Since at the time I was terrible at anatomy, she accidentally looked really tense and unnaturally posed.
god i love seeing how other artists do horror stuff! i absolutely ADORE how your work unnerves and sends a shiver through me :D
Having an emotional response like that is the biggest compliment I can get as an artist, thank you!
Simple scary eye, draw three circles and color the first and third one.
I’m a young teen artist who? Loves to draw on paper most of time and really appreciates how you discribe and teach how to really make things Uncanny. I also draw very upscure images and often draw things more humanoid with big claws & often with no eyes!
What I really struggle with is that when I try drawing these kinds of creatures I can never tell if it’s scary I have seen so many horror movies and played so many horror games I have seen a lot of f***ed up sh*t so I can never tell if something I make is scary or nerve wracking. This was pretty helpful I will probably be using these techniques in the near future thanks for the help.
what brush do you use??? btw I really love your style, now I want to draw only creepy stuffs because of your videos XP
I have a few of my own I made, and I used the default studio pen and turpentine from procreate! I’m glad you’ve taken to drawing creepy art, it’s a really fun style to play with
@@pitchcanker unfortunately I draw on photoshop and there are no these brushes in it :(
4:39 Bros aboutta have a heart attack after watching aot
I wanna make a monster that can take form of anyone but usually messes up with the jaw so this helps.
the thing you said about the cocked head made me think: a cocked head evokes a sort of gentle, animal curiosity, implying that as humanoid as this creature might look, it is decidedly _not._ being looked at straight on implies intelligence- and, maybe worse, fixation on You specifically. there are gears churning behind those eyes and you can't know what they're processing.
Love the video and your thumbnails keep somewhat jumpscaring me
Uncanny is one of those horror genres (?) that I like a lot but don't really know how to put it into practice. This is fantastic, definitely helps work out the kinks in how the uncanny valley effect is done! Horror art in general I'm pretty good at, but its that uncanny effect that I lack
As an amateur, teenage artist, I’m tryna step into the uncanny valley, thanks for the help! How long did it take you to perfect this?
And now we introduce the new addition to the man-eating AOT Titans, we have the FUCK NO Titan. (Absolutely love your art btw!!!)
Basically making mistakes can make it scary
I'm so early! since im one of the earlier people here, I just wanna say I absolutely LOVE your art and wish I could get to your level of uncanniness
Dude thank you for being one of the first to watch! I think without a doubt you could achieve something equally creepy if not more so in your own way. It’s definitely all about practice and research!
I'm a very, very amateur horror drawer, I draw a gorey and creepy kinda of horror (like a man looking at you with a very opened face with his flesh showing up and his skin falling while he touches someones shoulder and the person doesn't have a head), but idk, there is something missing, and idk what, idk if it's the shadow or the quality, so if you can do a video of the uncanny proportions, I would be thankful
Awesome drawing ❤
Thanks dude!
Thank you!
i believe i had a nightmare once as a kid about some mechanical, industrial looking worm that would "swallow" someone into a tube, filled with angled crushers and saws, bent at odd angles to mulch someone up to use for fuel, and i think you could make a really interesting looking drawing for you, maybe with some blood seeping out from the hinges too, reminiscent of its last "meal".
Great video man happy to see your work again ❤
Dude I appreciate that! Excited to be uploading here more
I use your videos to draw creepy dudes in cute(ish) scenarios like my first one was a creepy man giving the peace sign
Personally i think making that face happier would make it uncanny. Just imagine some random stranger (who on top of being a stranger does not even look right) just being super happy to see you. As if that random person you do not know has been waiting for you for years.
love horror art
Please reply pitch
Your voice Is very similar to qcento voice, another youtuber that plays Gwent
Imma try do this typa stuff in paint because im poor
Does anyone else here understand how being in a state of horror is comforting?
I love your videos I have been watching a few people on youtube lately because I have had a lot of issues over the last 15 years and over the last 6 months I don't really know why but I started wanting to kill myself and see things and I tried to kill myself 5 times and the Police made me go to a hospital for a bit to speak to people and I wouldn't talk to anyone but one of the Nurses was so cool and she was talking to me about stuff and my Cat and she asked me what I like ect and I told her when my cutting gets really bad I try to write things on paper and have lots of sheets of just weird writing and she asked me to try drawing and she actually gave me a pad and a few pencils and I got out of the hospital and started drawing demon faces and putting them all over my walls and then found it was helping if I felt sad I would draw a demons face that was sad or angry or however I was feeling and then started buying over the last 3 months pads and charcoal and pencils and now recently really been enjoying fine liner ink art and scribble style very aggressive because some of my favourite drawings are the ones I have done something and hated it so just messed around with the drawing in an unnatural way and it's turned into something I actually like so I started using pen because I can't make mistakes I just keep going until I find what I am feeling and I love drawing demons or stuff like you and it actually helps me not want to cut because I calm down when I do it and I posted a lot on my youtube community page if you can tell me what to do to get better and a couple of recent videos and the Police lade came to my house because they had to do checks and my wrists were cut open and she asked me to draw her something to calm down and it's one of my fav drawings I wasn't even thinking and I just aggressively attacked the pad with a charcoal pencil and drew a parrots face then did a pentagon and then the shadow behind the pentagon of the parrot but the parrots face at the front is normal and the one behind is sad and depressed then I wiped my blood all over it and it is a bit weird I know but it's actually one of my favourite things I have done, I will post that one again just now so you can see it.
Yup, this is how I'm spending my emo phase
Jesus H, that is scary af
Hello is it okay if i draw some fanart of your art and post it on my page
You should try to draw some marine life that could maby show a fear of ocean life or something like that
So I currently dont have access to digital art, but I was curious if you could do something utilizing only pencil or pen and ink? Im inspired a lot by your style but I feel like its hard to translate in that medium
So I have to draw women 😢
LMAO
love your work!!! blown open pupils always frighten me too, awesome video, thanks for all the tips
I had a dream with a literal Animatronic,i THINK im playing too much FNaF...
im making an analog horror too, i just need help with some details looking more realistic and more analog horror type
once I saw a man like this but his bottom lip was more like this: } he slowly kept opening his mouth in my doorway.then 5 worms that slowly ate away at me came out of his eyes and mouth.it was horrorific.this was all a dream but the hall he was creeping out from was a exact copy of my hallway.then I saw a symbol.I don’t know what symbol I just know there was one
I love all your art it helps me draw so much! Especially horror!❤❤❤
Nice dude keep on drawing!!
I have schizophrenia, this is like heaven to me!
when I try to draw scary stuff I think of what scares me the most ,which is eyes
Great work
Thank you
I have Anxiety:)
How do you know I am watching this at night? 😏
3:22 that zoom jumpscared me 💀
What pen did u use to draw the head? 0:32
reminds me of AOT
Cool :D
Do you mind if I screenshot your art 😭
this is insane
thats amazing, your drawing is actually horrifying! i hate uncanny faces, especially coming out from darkness...
I have just stumbled upon your channel, and I must say it feels like the biggest discovery in a long time. Your art speaks to me a lot. It is very eloquent, striking, and the way it conveys raw emotion and a nightmarish sense of dread is just sublime.
I first discovered the feeling of uncanniness some twenty-two years ago, when I first watched the Japanese movie Ju-On: The Grudge. I had never had been exposed to anything like that, and it certainly crawled under my skin and remained there for a few days - and their restless nights. What terrified me the most about that movie was the complete inability to find an answer to the question: why? Why does Kayako - the female ghost - behave like that? Why does she move, stare, like that? What is she thinking? Does she think at all, or feel for that matter? Or is she completely dead, dead beyond death, if that makes any sense? Or just empty and irrational, like someone afflicted by some extreme and inhuman mental ailment? To be honest, the fact that she killed everyone who unknowingly crossed her way was not even that horrifying compared to her mere presence and… well, uncanniness.
I got really obsessed with that movie and that character, and I recognise many common traits between your art and J-Horror, even if I don’t know if that’s your intention at all: stark black and white contrast, gaping mouths into the abyss of empty souls, and absolutely crazy and terrifying eyes. It brings so many memories, and you have become an instant favourite of mine.
Sorry if I don’t make a lot of sense, since I’m writing this comment after a long night of work - and I don’t even know if you’ll ever read it - but I just want you to know I really appreciate what you do, and the very didactic approach to your videos. Absolutely stunning work!
This is honestly gking to help me bring my nightmare drawings to life, while simultaneously giving me more nightmares😂😂
Man, i really love your work, you're one of my favorites artists and i inspire my artworks on your drawings
(Sorry about my bad english i'm fro Brazil)
There was that one, singular scene in Attack on Titan, where they were trapped in a tower and getting besieged by titans and Reiner opened a door into darkness and a titan face appeared, which was the scariest most uncanny face I have seen in all of AoT and is definitely in top 5 of the scariest anime faces (without counting Junji Ito creations)
i think it would be very interesting to see your process of drawing on a canvas or paper since the materials are different! im still trying to find my footing in horror art and you are a wonderful role model :)
It looks like Attack on titan😮
I always loved your art in twitter.
You inspired me to start drawing too.
Keep up the good work
I often imagine if the heads just detach/tear away from the body and float towards the sky to be so damn creepy
yet another amazing video by the best horror artist i've seen!!!!! :D
What app/website did u use to draw this? :0
What's the app name?
Procreate
Hahaha! Oh man! 3:22 actually got me! 😂
what art software do you use?
Out of curiosity, what app do you use?
i think the app they used here is procreate
anyone know what software he uses?
Art software?
Sometimes what I do is that I take a photo of someone and then try to deform it giving the final painting a creepy realistic touch, really helps alot
