Drawing Faces From Any Angle

- An old-fashioned art tutorial video. No series, just a quick lesson. I get asked about this a lot, so I wanted to jot down my personal opinions on how to best improve at drawing a face from any angle.
Feel free to check out my patreon at: / sinix
And check out a trial of Corel Painter 2017 here: store.corel.com/1103/cookie?a...

Step one: draw paper
Step two: draw face
If you draw a face, then erase the features, you get a perfectly drawn sheet of paper
How to draw a horse:
1) draw unicorn
2) erase the horn

Sinix is great for keeping it relatively simple and to the point. 5 stars, thumbs up.
Art teacher :draw a head
Rest of the class: *starts with circle*
Sinix: *draws paper*
Paper is the best advice!
You draw a circle and then a piece of paper running down it
circles are overrated
@@Paopao621 yea

"you'll discover that the interior eye sockets have a lot of depth"
me: *cries in asian*
Don’t cry friend, that makes it that much easier to draw!
Don't cry! Water reflections and rivulet pathing is hard to draw :(

I have been shown the light. My art has been saved, my crops are flourishing, my skin is clear. Bless this video.
Like, the zits cleared up, and stuff?
William Joyner Jr. lol I wish that could happen for me
put a smile on my face lmao
Hallelujah!
Same here :')
This is a great, practical lesson. Found myself using it in some recent work where I had to paint a bunch of partygoers from all angles. Thanks!

Hi
at first: People should understand that there is NO definitive method. The ones crittizing Loomis' method or other methods are forgetting that. Instead we should experiment different methods and approchings, finding in each of them aspects that help us further. This "paper" approach is also very insightful and I will definitely make use of this. Thanks Sinix for sharing his knowledge with us :)
*THIS*
I wish someone had told me this, I spent so much time trying the Loomis method and got really frustrated, I stopped drawing for two years because I thought I'd never be able to achieve anything.
Now I am more open minded, tried this and got better results. But I'm sure there are others who will have better results with the Loomis method, you gotta be open minded when it comes to art.
@@rickydo6572 thanks for you guys' advice man
"hey can you draw a face for me?"
"sure!"
*starts furiously drawing pinocchios*
This is blowing my mind. A lot of things just clicked.
Same here. I spent over an hour today trying to draw a head from a low angle to no success, watched this video, tried it again and nailed it in like five minutes. It seems like such an obvious thing but it had just never occurred to me to try this.
MAAAAAANNNNNN DUDE BRO!!!! This is the first video I watched of Sinix and I'm blown away by how easily he taught me this in less than 10 minutes. I'm not kidding; it's like I felt my brain rewrite neural connections to forget what I've know from my 32 years on this planet and re-learn this method.
This is what happens when teaching goes right. You get inspired to create. I know I am. Thanks, Sinix.
Arjunpsk well his video IS only 8 mins long lol
Thats EXACTLY how i felt...! This is my first ever video of his ive watched and im hooked
Same! Real lightbulb moment. This dude is an awesome teacher.
*That feeling when God suddenly blessed you*
bro...
This video helped me DRASTICALLY improve my art. I seriously can't thank you enough. When I used to draw heads with circles I could never make them look up or down or with any dynamic pose. I'm so glad I learned this at a young age.
I can’t draw a sheet of paper without reference I’m basically broken.
It hurts my brain doing this
become a plumber
become a baker
become a farmer
become a brain surgeon
Become a sheet of paper
sinix, i really gotta say this, you are such a positive influence on my art - i dont even know how to describe it.
a few years back i was really awful at drawing (maybe i still am, idk) but i enjoyed it a lot, until i hit a brick wall, no more motivation, fun, i hated everything i worked on.
i found your shiny mech video through some yt recommendations or something and it just gave me that motivation back, that was probably 4 years ago. ever since then ive always been watching your stuff. while i do like your art style, i think the biggest influence youve had on my work was in terms of workflow, finding inspiration and most importantly: enjoying what i do. so thanks for that!
and you know, for the genuinely helpful informations about drawing fundamentals. I GUESS.
hope that comment wasnt too long and creepy. whoops.
We need more of these kind of tutorials that are not based on rules, like draw a circle OK, now draw a curved line, draw two balls, draw one more curved line. Now that's a face. Do it again over and over.
This tutorial essentially relies more on your ability to see, which is what you need to have as an artist.
Mars you're all rigth man, I'm Brazillian, but a follow and see everyday the sinix's channel, Sinx you're the best. thanks for all
PS: If have something write wrong, sorry because a don't domine de English.
I feel the same way, Sinix has such a refreshing and fun approach.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. This was golden.
You literally said what I wanna say :D This vid is simply incredible, I had fun practicing this tut again and again. Yes so inspirational
God, I've been struggling with the loomis method for more than a year now, and it never came out right. I spent an hour just drawing curved paper and already I can see a huge jump in the quality of my art and the organic forms of my faces.
This is really an awesome technique for people that can't get ridiculously technical! Thank you so much for sharing!
to be honest you should tackle bridgeman before loomis imo
Tried Bridgman too! Helped a lot with my anatomy and my hands have jumped in quality like no tomorrow, but it still didn't feel comfortable for me, and would throw me right out of my drawing.
have you tried the riley method. or is that just for faces?
Haha same here
Same here. The Loomis method was great for me to start drawing from imagination, but only after I studied other artists like Burne Hogarth I feel like I got the grasp for drawing heads/faces, and this technique from Sinix, just a great adition to my mind.
You've cured my art block and helped me improve my art style. THANK YOU😭

This seems better than the methods I see splattered across TH-cam that say "from any angle" but only cover the same 3: profile, side profile, and maybe 3/4 view if they were ambitious. Plus they would only draw adult males. Proko was one exception to the angles part, but it takes so long to obtain any progress.
I have bad news, pal...
LMAO!
seeing the curved "sheet of paper" just unlocked a part of my brain I was struggling with lol. foreshortening the facial details in the extreme poses is what I need practice on - like what you said they fall into that uncanny valley. Nice tips! Thanks for sharing, I'll be keeping this tool in my kit for sure.
My thoughts: Excellent, this I can do.
Opens up Krita, can't even draw a paper
can you draw paper now? I hope so! tell us if it worked out for you :]]
Krita gang !
I remember using Krita as my first digital art program when I started drawing. I’ve then moved on to FireAlpaca

Thank-you.
A really useful thing to do when first using this technique is legit cut up a piece of paper to reference. I find it more help if it's smaller, more square than regular and you're able to hold the paper in hand so you can draw it with the other.
I've always drawn circles and wondered why my art looks so flat and lifeless!!! but this is so much better! I'm in love with your channel! thankyouuuuuu!
When you can impress someone by drawing paper :\
As soon as you started drawing in level 2, you broke down all the walls for me. This is a really great tutorial, thanks so much Sinix!!
I've never seen this method before. I tried it out, and now I do feel a little more comfortable drawing faces in different angles. Not to mention it was a lot more fun. Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful!
I like this refreshing method, but I suggest not abandoning Loomis' or Hogarth's methods of drawing faces. These latter methods are about more than "just" the face, but the entire head (which is where the ellipses, that sinix hates :), come in handy). Loomis and Hogarth's approaches provide geometrically informed introductions to concepts like ear placement, lip overbite, and jawline construction.
Agreed. I love Sinix, but I hope beginners don’t take his authoritative tone too seriously. He made a video where he explained his idea of authority when teaching which totally makes sense, and he is by far one of my favorite teachers on TH-cam, his perspective is so unique. But admittedly I used to follow a lot of his rules a little too strictly and have realized that things like “never use circles in organic drawings” eliminate a whole world of shape language. Look at the way Vilpuu draws, and I think his work is full of life. “There are no rules, only tools”
Ive been drawing for YEARS. Struggling w very specific angles, this is the ONLY video that helped. Thank you
I'm writing my first ever youtube comment because I needed to say it--this changed my life. I've struggled for years with this, and suddenly after a few days, I can draw angles I'd never managed before. I can't thank you enough for making this, and making it available for free, no less. Cheers!
I literally just started crying because I've avoided drawing for about 5 years because I couldn't improve on basic straight angled faces and bodies. I got frustrated that even though I enjoy art I want to be GOOD at it and being stuck drawing the same thing over and over made me discouraged. I dunno what possessed me to search this topic today and click on your video but... everything just clicked for me. The second you showed us the paper masks. I got it. Immediately. It's like my brain just needed the right teacher!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I can finally move on from the place I've been haunted by for HALF A DECADE!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I had watched this video a while ago, thought it was interesting but didn't try it because "I have been drawing heads for 15+ years no problem."
Fast forward to this month working on a comic idea I found myself struggling to keep my characters consistant in the style I was trying to achieve. No matter how many studies I did of my references, they would look all wrong. Headaches everywhere, felt like I was hitting a wall.
But then I remembered THE PAPER!!! Using this method really helped me iron out those issues I was having. Honestly, I might never go back.
Thank you Sinix for being an amazing teacher and sharing this with us!
If you sit down with your sketchbook and watch this video, pause after every step and take 10-15 minutes to practice each step and this turns into the best art lesson you've ever participated in.
This is literally the most useful tutorial I've ever seen in my entire life. Thank you for your contributions to the art community.
lol that paper boi reference at 3:28
Kamishiro Rize i loved it so much lol
This is a great way to think of the face! I've been having problems visualizing how the face works at extreme angles and this was really helpful, thank you so much for this video!
This technique has exponentially helped my drawings. In a single day, I see so many improvements by going through the steps and practicing throughout the day. Thank you so much.
Thank you Sinix! This video has really helped me with keeping everything in perspective. I was so used to trying to plot things on the head but this helped me realize that drawing the head last works better for me.
Wow! This is actually the best way to imagine and construct a face, I have never got used to the circle/ sphere method, so now I must start applying and studying like that! Thank you!
thank you so much for this advice. I've been practicing for half an hour at level one and already making breakthroughs
I’ve been binge watching videos on face and body anatomy and crap like that and yours is honestly the most helpful.
I've been drawing for a long time, but faces still get me from time to time. It's good having these types of exercises to help me get back to the basics. Good stuff.
that was so good
This video changed my life.
every once in a while when I feel frustrated with my art I'll come back to this video (or any of your tutorials really) and it helps me to get out of my head and remember what to focus on. thanks for continuing to remind me how I can enjoy art! ♡
This is by far, the best video I’ve ever seen regarding perspective of faces. Thank you so much. This is exactly what I’ve been needing!
This video has literally 180 flipped my perspwctive on human faces, I already know most of the anatomy, amd I feel so relieved to actually start making progress on human faces :') thank you
I've been practicing with the circle methods for so long and getting nowhere. I lost all motivation for drawing. Finding this video gives me a rejuvenated feeling to get my sketch book out and start again. Thank you so much for this video
this is the best tutorial i've ever watched, and it helped me a LOT! thank you so much for taking your time to help us out. you're amazing!
I am so glad i found your channel my guy, without your anatomy tips i would've never built the courage to do portraiture but you gave me so much confidence! Thank you so much and keep creating art 💗
This video was amazing, I just spent 2 hours practicing everything in the video and my faces are soooo much better in just 2 hours!!!
Ever since I was a child, I've loved art, drawing specifically. After years of practice, and now currently a university student in arts, this is by FAR the BEST guide I could have EVER come across to draw faces for any perspective. The basic circle shape always confuses me. But this? Made it SO much easier! 😩 Thank you endlessly!! ❤
This was actually super helpful! Been having issues with pushing my work recently, especially when working on bigger scenes or images where my characters are doing something I have no reference image for! so thank you!
Thank you so much I've been drawing heads with circles for so long and I struggle with the shape of the skull, this helped so much! ❤
Great video ^^ No art teacher has ever said 'no circles' to me before but it clicked with me in a strong, poignant way that I think is really going to help my art. Thank you :D
This simple solution of using a curved sheet of paper as the basis of the head has helped me get past a long standing problem with my drawing skills. Much obliged to you.
Oh my God... where has this video been all my life. I’ve always had trougle with this but something about your method clicked with me immediately bless
This tutorial is a blessing and I can tell has already made a difference in my art! I always struggled with perspective but now I hope to not struggle with face perspective as much! Blocking the face into different shapes (exciting circles ha) really helps! Thank you so much!
This is amazing. I'd never heard of this technique before, but now I love it so much. My faces in perspective/at angles have never looked better. I'm really glad that I saw this video today.
Sir you just blew my mind. My brain just latched onto this so fast, wtf!?! Thank you, you’re amazing.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I've always been terrible at drawing faces, but I have been practicing for two days using this technique and I am already seeing the results!
What I like about your tutorial is that it's to the point and not long-winded
it's so weird that I've been drawing for so long but I keep forgetting the fundamentals esp when I stop drawing people for a little while for other subjects like landscapes and non organic objects. This is such a great video. should actually have double if not 10x the amount of views. love it.
The way my art has literally upgraded and I’ve watched 2 vids?
I love listening to this guy talk. He seems so nice and he really helps me.
Thanks so much for all the tutorials you make, they're always super helpful and fun to watch!!
That escalated fast. Guess I'd need a whole year for mastering what was shown in an 8min video. You make it look so easy.
I watch this TH-cam channel in art classes because it’s like 100% better than my art teacher
You’re not the only one lol
This really helped! I’ve been trying to learn to draw from different angles to spice up my art a lil bit since, I mostly draw front facing positions.
This method has helped me so much. Before, I struggled with the placement of eyes but now it’s been completely fixed. Thank you so much
SINIX YOU ARE A FREAKING GENIUS 😦💥
Good tutorial! Breaking it down in "stages" or "levels" makes it useful for both novice and experienced artists, and also for art styles that have dimension but isn't aiming to be realistic. These can also be used as "warmups". I agree with you on circles; using cylinders and cubes helps a lot more when it comes to adding dimension to your drawing. And the human head isn't a perfect sphere after all.
Thank you, this was a very helpful video. Level 4 took a couple more tries to get the hang of it, but I feel fairly confident after the exercises. I was always able to draw faces from boring stiff angles, but I used to have a lot of trouble drawing them from more dramatic and interesting ones. This is something I can always fall back to when I start to have trouble
I FREAKING LOVE YOU, this is one of the most informative videos ive watched so far! i was so struggling to draw heads and now everything suddenly seems sooo much easier!
I just had a religious experience, I’ve seen god, I know all the secrets of the universe, thank you
You are the best online tutor for me
This is probably the easiest way to draw a face from any angle. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A few minutes and I'm suddenly fearless with angled faces. Bless this video. Subbed.
This video really blown my mind, it clarified in 8 minutes things that I never really understood before and... Idk, it is just gold. It simplifies the complexity of a face in the best way.
Dude. Whatever you just showed me made so much sense.
I'll never draw faces the same way again.
Thanks man. Subscribed.
3:25 you thought no one was going to notice that “paperboi” was playing in the background?
I thought I was the only one 😂😂
Really like this video, I keep going back to it from time to time. Very well explained, very useful and as a bonus: the combination of the way you talk and the way you draw is just so relaxing ☺️
Thank you so much! I have been trying to find tutorials that work for me but have not been successfull in my search, until I found this video! It’s incredibly helpful and I have never thought about perspective faces in such a way before, I really appreciate this video.
Waaaaa, thank you so much! I also have a hard time with rounded stuff, boxes and straights are so much better - for me.
Sometimes I 'forget' how to draw faces a bit (or at least forget the building blocks), and I've often struggled with drawing faces from different/unusual angles such as the worm's eye view. This is seriously a game-changer in so many ways; curved paper is so much easier to visualise than the often difficult ball-and-curved-triangular-prisim-thing that some people seem to use!! Having a strong foundation is so important but often hard, thanks so much for this! :)
I was recommended to watch this as just started learning to draw faces. Every video thus far, start with a circle. This makes so much more sense.
I have a friend just starting with the basics of art. I might send this to him when he becomes more comfortable with perspective and shapes. Thank you! This is so well done.
My god I understand face perspective now.
I have NEVER understood the other way with drawing circles. It just goes up and over my head. Can't manage it for some reason. So I am SO GLAD I found this.
Thank you! I've been so stuck on the Loomis method because I can't visualize how the head and face move together in perspective. Separating the face into its own plane and then giving it the rest of the head once it's figured out really broke me out of my rut and lets me just draw cool faces.
Sinix, you learned me to draw a head with a nice face in 30 mins ( combo how to draw a nose and this video ). I will never be thankfull enough and i just can't wait to check out the other tutorials.
Thank you a lot,

probably the most helpful video i've seen on youtube for drawing faces from different angles!
the little triangle thing is really great for getting the nose, but I'm still having trouble with the eyes and lips at different angles
Oh thanks a lot. Although this video was uploaded 3 years ago, it’s still helping many people. Thank you. After watching this i really feel dumb for not understanding this for years, it’s just so amazing
That was dark man, "They almost like to look human but they lack chins and stuff like that" I'll use that quote someday. Nice vid too
