I've been drawing for almost 40 years and have always struggled to draw characters from imagination. All the methods I've learned always left characters looking stiff and formulaic. I'm completely blown away by how quickly I was able to adapt this to my own style. I saw a quick clip on TikTok that brought me here and I'm so grateful. Thank you for sharing this.
as someone whos been trying to learn to draw for the past month rodgon is easily best art youtuber to watch such a passionate guy that cares about his work and can have fun with it AND is also a great teacher thank you rodgon you da best
@@RODGONTHEARTIST -- I find that actually listening to what you're saying, instead of meandering off topic, is the best way to gain experience with your various methods. I've done life drawing, drew from accurate replicas of skulls and skeletons. So I have a good handle on shapes, I'd like to think.🤟 You're the badass here, Rodgon!
Love the facecam on this stream and that wholesome talk at the end of the stream was something I really needed, thanks for being a great teacher to us all Rodgon
From Spain... Neither Loomis, nor Bridgman, nor Reilly method...I choose Rodgon method...maybe with a bit of mixing or plus details but yours is the most intuitive!!! Thanks a lot!!!
I found you on tiktok and finally came here to sit thru some tutorials. I loved to draw throughout my entire childhood into my 20’s then life got busy and I haven’t had time to do too much. For awhile now I’ve really been wanting to pick it back up and this video was easy to follow. Thank you so much
That was so crazy helpful. As a mechanical engineer Im pretty ok with perspective and boxes and basic shapes in it... but faces and poses were always a struggle. This is such a helpful idea
Hello, I learned a lot more in five days of watching your videos than in a year of 3D courses years ago. I even gave up for years, you just give me back the hope I lost and I really enjoy training and getting even better! It feels good and I want to thank you!
I started watching these videos, I wanted to learn to draw for my son who loves to draw rodgon videos are very educational, he walks you through it step by step makes perfect sense. Thank you rodgon
Loving your videos! I have to illustrate my graphic novel for my publishing house to accept the manuscript so here’s me binge watching as many of your videos as possible!!! You’re a champ, thank you so much. I really like the split screen by the way! Wish I could be your “in house” student lol
Thanks for the end message! Ironically I watch this video after learning my car got towed! Gonna get my car back and keep drawing! Enjoying both sides of the coin!😊
Understanding WHERE things go never made since to me, seeing WHY they go there makes so much more sense. I have struggled for so long drawing faces and heads, using things like the divisional method for feature placement. I would end up drawing a decent face straight on, but, the minute that face had to move in a different direction everything fell apart.
This is very helpful- and I have that same issue with flat planes on spheres. Also it’s hard for me to take like the eye socket shapes you drew, and turn them for a 3/4 view, or any angle- like, let’s say I drew diamond kind of shapes for the eye sockets- it’s hard for me to see how they change shape as they tilt away from the viewer. Idk how ppl do that. I can draw like nearly photo realistic heads and faces, but I have to be looking at a reference… Anyway you’re so good and I love the tutorials like this- thx
Hello rodgon I am a fan of your art and was amazed how simple the face tutorial was but I noticed that you had new equipment for is I was wondering what equipment that you used to make your video? Would love to hear your response
I don’t need you to entertain me but I’m old and want to learn your system. It can hold its own without scat singing. But to be honest I’m the guy who thinks clowns who want people to laugh at them must need to be center stage. Why not put you fans center stage which I think you did do at one point.

If you haven’t already, you should take the end part of all the methods for drawing the face and turn it into a short.
I honestly think that you and Tim McBurnie really are the best art teachers on TH-cam.
