Me when I'm still a beginner: -Hates to draw side views -Only draws people with straight and smiling face -Not using references -Covers the mouth and nose with something -Uses airbrush in the whole rendering process -Takes about an hour in anatomy -Inconsistent style (Well, until now but only super slight difference LMAO) -Hates to draw clothes -Never draw hands and feet -If I draw a full body, it will be a silhouette My progress is slow but the outcome is totally worth it! I'm still practicing to master my desired style but I'm not a beginner already. Thanks sir Sam for inspiration!!!
We’ve all been there but the more you work at it the better it gets. It’s not going to start off how you want at first but eventually you work your way up to it
@@jaguar4118 My artworks were now better than my artworks when I was still a beginner (I mean it's obvious but using reference really helped me a lot! I t helped me to understand the anatomy of human body and how the light and shadows work).
Still pretty new to drawing. Everyone has their own take on how they do the guidelines for the facial features. This one is in depth but in a simple way that makes a lot of sense even to me who is a beginner. I'll be coming back to this again the next time I'm practicing with portraits. Ty
I love when Sam swung the ruler around in the beginning like “yes💅🏼I✨am🌝amazing🌚” because he really is amazing for making all these videos to help us 🥺😩💜
Sam: "When in doubt, just give them long hair to cover up the ears" Me: When in doubt, just give them: - long hair to cover up the ears, - pockets to hide the hands, - pants to hide the legs Oh well, I will just be happy with other's drawings :D (Love your drawings ♥)
This video was a massive eye opener. I've been sketching for about a month and have watched about 10 different face sketching tutorials, and every time, I draw something that looks like a clown from a nightmare. I'm not sure what it was about your tutorial, maybe the simplicity or the vertical guidelines, but my (still admittedly awful) face sketches actually resemble normal human beings now. Thanks so much!
Thank you. Best video for simple minds like me a 70 yr old who started late. I really don't want all that cranium stuff of watched. Can't comprehend it anymore. I knew some of those measures but you detailed it well. Like I had ? on eye line. Is it bottom top or middle. You answered my question I've had for a while. Thank you Thank you.
As a french beginner in drawing, I can say that this video is one of the best I’ve watched on TH-cam so far. I’m left handed so it can be tricky to follow tutorials but because you’re doing it digitally I can follow the steps so easily and your explanations are very clear, so thanks !!
Super helpfull! i draw faces better now! tip: when marking the ends of the eyes, mouth, nose, and brows, don't make them the same color as ur sketch you'll get confused and won't be able to see edges that you made that easily, I used blue which helped a lot, reminder:what works for me might not work for you so try at your own risk!
You're one cool dude. Have been coming back to drawing over and over throughout my life and always end up disheartened, or 'distracted.' Will definitely continue to watch your stuff, it's simple and to the point. Good stuff! Thank you.
Thank you ! I m studying animation and i initially wanted to do 2D animation but my drawing skills arent good so i focused on 3D instead. Your videos are helping me get better and Thank you again !
Even though I know how to draw faces, watching these beginner videos feel refreshing. Sometimes I draw so much to the point that I forget what I am even doing XD.
tell me why all day yesterday i was going around trying to find videos to help me learn how to redraw faces...and now u post this !!!! sam u are a mind reading legend
I had just started art digitally and this video helps a lot with understanding shapes because I was so overwhelmed when going from traditional art to digital, but this video helped a lot. Thanks Sam! ✌️
Omg omg I'm literally so happy rn cause I simply watched ur vid understood wtv u told and tried it out and IT WORKED!! U don't know I've been trying to understand this from a longer time and it simply just couldn't process in. Fr thanks man!
I'm thinking of buying a tablet, so i have been looking at art vids and i have given this one a save bc of how easy and clear it is! Keep up the good work!
Him: telling us how to draw the correct lines to make a proportionally beautiful face. Me (takes screenshot of the video and uses the face to trace on everytime) “ah yes, I’m a pro artist now”
I always struggled with drawing eyes but, this really helped👍 And a reminder for young aspiring artists, you DON’T have to be born with an artistic talent, you CAN mess up, and you CAN restart and learn from your mistakes. Stay positive y’all, as long as you enjoy art, and want to keep doing it, nothing can stop you👍
And on the flip side: if you *do* have natural artistic talent, it alone is not enough! For the sake of my point, I'll throw modesty out the window: I have artistic talent. I've had a knack for it from a very young age, and my art consistently turned out better than my peers while growing up. BUT. I never really applied myself. I didn't learn technique, I didn't study anatomy, I didn't even practice. The only 'practice' I got was when I was drawing actual pictures. And guess what? It caught up to me. My art skills were quickly left in the dust as I got older, and while I'm over thirty now there are artists in their teens/early twenties who absolutely smoke my art. I've only recently started studying art properly, and I'm realizing just how much I drew from 'intuition', and how often that intuition came up short. It was 'good enough', but it held my art WAY back. Now my art is improving dramatically from studying and *practice* (serious emphasis on practice), and it's thanks to people like Sam who generously share their knowledge with the rest of us. So to reiterate, don't let a lack of talent hold you back (you can compensate with hard work and practice), but don't let having talent hold you back either (without hard work and practice, your skills will plateau early and will stagnate). In summary: no matter what, hard work and practice are essential to developing your art to its fully potential! Also, since simply saying 'practice' in a void is kind of vague, here's an example for anyone wondering what sort of practice I've been doing: right now I've got a digital canvas covered completely in noses. Noses of all different shapes, sizes, and from various angles. I've learned SO much from drawing all these noses. Noses now look different to me, because I'm looking at them from a whole new perspective. The types of nostrils, the angles, the shapes, hours and hours of drawing noses has taught me so much (along with watching videos on drawing noses). I've found myself staring at peoples' noses while talking to them now, lol. I kept looking at Sam's nose while watching this video. But it's enhanced my game so much, I'm finally starting to become happy with how I draw noses. So when one is told to 'practice', it often means repetition. I learn the most from making mistakes, so the more mistakes I make the more I learn. I've learned how to draw a nose by learning how *not* to draw a nose, and the only way to learn that was by repetition. I know this is a wall of text, but I hope I was able to help somebody out there with this comment. Happy drawing, and know that I am rooting for all of you artists 100%!
Whyyy didn't i see thiisss videoo beforeee I used to try and draw faces and stuff and wanted to have my own art style(cuz ppl who have it just seem so cool to me) But one day ,i just randomly like started drawing better faces cuz of just random lines n stuff But if i had seen this Earlier(seeing it 2 years later when it wz posted) I'd have developed and learned so much,oh well, it's never too late to learn Thank u Sam✨✨😁😁 You're amazing
I know I'm late to the SamDoesArts party.... But you have no idea how thrilled I was to see that this new artist I discovered--one that FINALLY looks like what I'd like my work to emulate--has his own tutorial. I'm fairly new to portraits but I feel like learning from you, I'm already on the right track! 😁 Thank you for sharing your gift with all of the hungry learners like me!!
This is one of the best guides I've seen, truly. Sure many does this, but I think all the extra guidelines and explaination to them, makes so much more sense than many others who does these guides.
Start of the video: "We're not gonna study any antomy, nothing like that..." A half minute later: "So this is the part of the skull, what holds your brain and..."
I feel like my problem is that I’m a perfectionist and everything has to be perfect, but I’m not on that level yet, so I usually end up giving up after like 10 minutes. I hate this part of me.
I’m the same way. If I don’t like how it looks I feel like there isn’t a point because it will never be perfect and I give up but I know that if I keep trying it will eventually look really good. I feel like practice really is the most important thing and as long as you don’t give up you can do it but as a perfectionist it’s so hard to go from knowing that truth to actually using it and being willing to try when you fail
I can’t thank you for this tutorial enough, even though I don’t really use a lot of the stuff in this video anymore and I have a different style now this was the first good tutorial I found. Before this I genuinely had no idea what I was doing, and didn’t have a single drawing I was even slightly proud of.
Some art places I’ve been trying to get scholarships have asked that we provide artwork that we don’t use a reference on and I’m sort of freaking out 😳
@O that’s literally impossible tho. Even if u draw something entirely from your head you’ve built a visual library where you’ve seen it before, using a reference in your head 🤔
This STEP BY STEP video was extremely helpful as I started teaching (casual) art classes 2 days ago and one of the students wanted to draw a face. Now I can prepare properly for next week. Thank you so much.
I've been making art pretty much my whole life and everyone seems to like it but I know I can do better -- I don't actually like my own art much, so my goal is to be happy with what I make rather than relying on other people telling me it's good. So back to the basics with me!! Thanks for these tutorials!
This was definitely a great help. I just recently got myself a drawing tablet and am getting ready to practice the drawing fundamentals once the angled tablet/book stand I ordered gets here (it's a screenless tablet, but I've found it's far more comfortable to work with when it's standing up than when it's laying down horizontal). I'm looking forward to drawing some of my personal OCs to practice portraits, anatomy, and posing, so I figured I'd look for some videos that tackle the different parts and pieces of that, and this was a really helpful guide. I think I'll be keeping this channel in my back pocket going forward!
Sam: "The bottom of your ears are near the bottom of your nose, and the top of your ears are near where your eyes start." Me: I apparently have big ears
thank you so much for this! i watched a lot of tutorials before finding this and a lot were very unhelpful, talking more about references and style, but i didnt even know where to start! now i actually have a jumping off point which is really helpful just to rewatch and get the fundamentals down. again, thank you! 🧡🧡
thank you for this video, it really helps me a lot! I just started with drawing and I still don't know if this is really something I want to do long term, but you and your videos really just boosted my motivation to the moon.
i LOVED this tutorial, but i have a question because i’ve been losing my mind: HOW TF DO YOU DRAW YOUR EYES?????? i love your art style, and especially your eyes are something i really like, but they’re so specific and expressive that i can’t do it for my life 😀
*WHEN IN DOUBT JUST GIVE EM LONG HAIR TO COVER UP THE EARS!!* ***inserts sly smirk.*** i feel attacked personally - edit: ok hold on- I just got to the small forehead bit - i can't. 😭🤣
omg thank you for thisss ive watched many vids with the same technique but this is more easier to understand specially the length and the distance of each lineS. THANK YOUUUU SO MUCHHHHH
I’ve been watching your videos for a week or two now and I finally got the courage to do my first portrait painting, your tips definitely helped me a lot thank you!
I feel like Sam does a really good job at explaining how to draw the face. It’s the best video and it really helps me get an understanding of how to draw faces
Ngl started learning to draw a month ago but didn't do a lot because of college but i was able to free up a lot a time so i'm trying to learn from scratch and THIS. really helped thanks a lot
TBH you’re my FAVORITE artist OF ALL TIME. Yes that includes all the famous painters and everything. I just love your work. I follow your IG and wow. I also do art on IG but my style is completely different than yours. You’re actually amazing.
Fabulous tips and techniques Sam. I've started my drawing journal now, following your advice. Look forward to the journey ahead with learning to Draw with you. Have an awesome day 😊
Thank you so much for your help and for supporting all the young artists out there. I truly believe that my own art improved and evolved to a new stage because of your tutorials. I can't thank you enough for helping me find my inner artist
Looking back to these videos and getting into a whole other vibe from your current teaching methods. Thank you sensei for this very educative approach to face creations
this video helped me so much! im a beginner and I really want to get better at portaits and I just finished trying to sketch one out for the first time after being to afraid to for a bit and I gotta say I am actually pleasently surprised with how my sketch came out! I mean you can deffinetly tell it was my first time trying to draw a person but im still happy with it. without this video I dont think I would have had the confidence to start practicing portaits!
USE REFERENCES
so true bestie
Yes
Tysm this video helped me so much, I've been having troubled about the face lately (╥﹏╥)
Thank you very very very very much..........for this video.....❤
Hi Sam!
Yes. Whenever you do a self portrait, take out a ruler.
a l w a y s
Best advice ever.
What ya guys mean by ruler?
@@theunknown1760 they mean that they can't make a simple straight line, so they have to cheat and use a ruler 🙄 yeah no.
@just a weird nobody yup you should practice straight lines and shape for better drawing
"not a certified art teacher" you're deffo better than my old one 💅
Oooo gottem
@@samdoesarts ✌
UR PFP WTF
@@amandarockhold8390 what’s wrong with it- it’s just ranboo riding a horse
Omg true mine got fired from my primary school for being transphobic and then ended up being my high school teacher :’)
i like to practice by drawing these "guide lines" into real photos, the more different the faces the more you understand how it works.
Ooh, that's a really good idea! I love that.
Yeah i do that too!
This is so helpful, thank you!
that's genius
Oh nice
How did Sam drop this exactly when I needed it
Ikrrr
Omg fr.
Sameeee idk why
yess
Saaaame
0:06 is me when someone asks me "how was school today"
LOL
😂
LMAOO
You give them a tutorial on how to draw faces?
We have reached perfection
Me when I'm still a beginner:
-Hates to draw side views
-Only draws people with straight and smiling face
-Not using references
-Covers the mouth and nose with something
-Uses airbrush in the whole rendering process
-Takes about an hour in anatomy
-Inconsistent style (Well, until now but only super slight difference LMAO)
-Hates to draw clothes
-Never draw hands and feet
-If I draw a full body, it will be a silhouette
My progress is slow but the outcome is totally worth it! I'm still practicing to master my desired style but I'm not a beginner already. Thanks sir Sam for inspiration!!!
how u doing now buddy
How's it going?
We’ve all been there but the more you work at it the better it gets. It’s not going to start off how you want at first but eventually you work your way up to it

So all you draw is a floating head with only eyes?
My art teachers just yell, this man actually sat down and explained it calmy and made it sound so much easier and less complicated, THANK YOU

Just remember don’t use reference. Ever.
those 9 minutes were more useful than any time spent at art school
No kidding
I love when Sam swung the ruler around in the beginning like “yes💅🏼I✨am🌝amazing🌚” because he really is amazing for making all these videos to help us 🥺😩💜
I was confused for a sec what Samsung had do with this video.... But then I realized.
@@moolayenstudios i dont get it
@@eeeEEEeeeEEEEEE-eeeeeee "sam swung" is really similar to "samsung" so I read it wrong the first time.
Sam: "When in doubt, just give them long hair to cover up the ears"
Me: When in doubt, just give them:
- long hair to cover up the ears,
- pockets to hide the hands,
- pants to hide the legs

Yes a tutorial
I can speak for everyone when I say we needed this ✨🙌

I just love Sam's vids...as a beginner, they are so easy to follow 💖
Thank you for taking the time to do this! Sometimes I get frustrated at myself when sketching but it’s slowly teaching me patience. ❤️
Just when I thought about quitting.. you show up with what I exactly need😊ah I can't thank you enough 🙏🏻
Never give up on things you love ^^
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU 😭
not everyone wants to become "master artists" but still want to know how to draw faces better, so I really like this video!
This helps me AAA LLLLOOOTTT thank you thank you thank you I have been scrolling for the perfect video and you made it.Thank you I really needed it
You're one cool dude. Have been coming back to drawing over and over throughout my life and always end up disheartened, or 'distracted.' Will definitely continue to watch your stuff, it's simple and to the point.
Good stuff! Thank you.

Amaaaaaazing tips btw👌
to be honest, this was the best breakdown ive ever seen. for some reason, the drawing I got out of this video looks better than all the ones before
Love this guy. Thats what i needed. Theres bunch of tutorials for that but u dont get them clear. Ty

Really fantastic breakdown! Great, helpful rules of thumb, and I can easily see how they could be tweaked to give different feel to faces.
Finally.. a tutorial for beginners that is really for beginners.. thanks for covering all the basics in this..

I’m the same way. If I don’t like how it looks I feel like there isn’t a point because it will never be perfect and I give up but I know that if I keep trying it will eventually look really good.

like this is the first time an artist has actually helped me out-
You think you're so big? you think you're so tough ? 😂😂😂
Sounds like ethan
this video fell from heaven. is just what i need to improve my art right now. a million thanks from chile
*WHEN IN DOUBT JUST GIVE EM LONG HAIR TO COVER UP THE EARS!!* ***inserts sly smirk.***
i feel attacked personally -
edit: ok hold on- I just got to the small forehead bit - i can't. 😭🤣
omg thank you for thisss ive watched many vids with the same technique but this is more easier to understand specially the length and the distance of each lineS. THANK YOUUUU SO MUCHHHHH

omg this video is literally the best face tutorial i've ever seen in youtube. Thanks!
"When in doubt just put hair all over the ears" me: puts hair all over the face
I’ve been watching your videos for a week or two now and I finally got the courage to do my first portrait painting, your tips definitely helped me a lot thank you!

I feel like Sam does a really good job at explaining how to draw the face. It’s the best video and it really helps me get an understanding of how to draw faces
For beginners🤨🤨🤨🤨
The red line is easy to understand. I like your calm voice. It's interesting that you use your face. Thank you!
Actually everything about u and you're arts are exactly what i like
Ngl started learning to draw a month ago but didn't do a lot because of college but i was able to free up a lot a time so i'm trying to learn from scratch and THIS. really helped thanks a lot
TBH you’re my FAVORITE artist OF ALL TIME. Yes that includes all the famous painters and everything. I just love your work. I follow your IG and wow. I also do art on IG but my style is completely different than yours. You’re actually amazing.
Not a "certified" art teacher... Boy!!! You're the one who needs to be teaching!! 😁
I really like your pace and quiet clear kind voice...keeping it simple so a beginner can be successful.

Sam sensei.. you have improved my art so much. LONG LIVE SAM SENSEI
Fabulous tips and techniques Sam. I've started my drawing journal now, following your advice. Look forward to the journey ahead with learning to Draw with you. Have an awesome day 😊
Thank you so much for your help and for supporting all the young artists out there. I truly believe that my own art improved and evolved to a new stage because of your tutorials. I can't thank you enough for helping me find my inner artist
Hey Sam. Thank you! I love how you explain and breakdown each step. We need more videos like this:)
OMG THANK YOU! I’ve been binging your videos lately and have been waiting for this! 😁 Would also love a body or painting/lighting tutorial?

Thank you Sam 🥰🥰🥰
I just really like both your art style and the way you teach
Looking back to these videos and getting into a whole other vibe from your current teaching methods. Thank you sensei for this very educative approach to face creations
this video helped me so much! im a beginner and I really want to get better at portaits and I just finished trying to sketch one out for the first time after being to afraid to for a bit and I gotta say I am actually pleasently surprised with how my sketch came out! I mean you can deffinetly tell it was my first time trying to draw a person but im still happy with it. without this video I dont think I would have had the confidence to start practicing portaits!
I've been drawing for years and i was never good with people but this helped me a lot so thank you. Im gonna see what i can do by 2023 :)
Srsly the first head drawing video that's ever helped me - thanks!!
