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
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
How did Sam drop this exactly when I needed it
Ikrrr
Omg fr.
Sameeee idk why
yess
Saaaame
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
@@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).
So all you draw is a floating head with only eyes?
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 ♥)
grass to hide the feet...
smile to hide the pain
@@jemima26 and a big bush to hide everything else.
Wheres the mask to cover the nose and the mouth?
And an eyepatch to hide the other eye too!
@@jammingpython8986 or hair
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.
those 9 minutes were more useful than any time spent at art school
No kidding
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
Just remember don’t use reference. Ever.
"My forehead is small."
Would you rather have a forehead as big as mine then?
no pls
i have a big forehead and...
i dun want it ;-;
skrrrt skrrrt??? damn
a 5 head?
@@wilburscoot4621 Hahaha took me a while to understand.
His voice is so calming-
You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this.
as much as i enjoy ross draws, he is to energetic for my calm soul....then i found u sip tea and draw with me
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
OOHHH MY GOSH 😭😭😭😭 I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU DRAW , AND THEN YOU UPLOAD THIS VIDEO 😭😭💖💖 I REALLY NEED THIS THANK YOU VERY MUCH ❤❤❤❤
i gotchu
@@samdoesarts 🥺😭💖
Yes a tutorial
I can speak for everyone when I say we needed this ✨🙌
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!
LMFAO WHEN SAM PUT THE RULER UP AGAINST HIS FACE- 💀 it was a whole mess after that 😭✋8:17 - 8:54 when Sam has a smaller forehead than you 🙃 mbn 😫
"I'm not a certified art teacher " yeah right
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU 😭
Thank you for taking the time to do this! Sometimes I get frustrated at myself when sketching but it’s slowly teaching me patience. ❤️
I just love Sam's vids...as a beginner, they are so easy to follow 💖
Really fantastic breakdown! Great, helpful rules of thumb, and I can easily see how they could be tweaked to give different feel to faces.
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”
you should stop that-
@@ToastyShoe-lk7rg its a joke
O h .
Tracing is not cool dude 😌
@@lovecraze5741 if ur a beginner or u r doing a realistic portrait it is fine
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
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.
'not a certified art teacher'
...np...you're a legend 🤩
Amaaaaaazing tips btw👌
Love this guy. Thats what i needed. Theres bunch of tutorials for that but u dont get them clear. Ty
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.
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.
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 !
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 ^^
Thank you. You are the only one that really explains and shows how to do it. Love your art💗
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 !!
Am I the one who noticed he wears 88 rising’s t-shirt? welp, Sam kinda looks like Rich Brian at some angles XD
I noticed it too lol im not the only one ig
Yei finally a simple tutorial.... thank you so much.🥰
One of the best videos presenting portrait drawing basics! It's short and sweet. Love it! Thank you so much :)
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!
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! ✌️
0:48 1) shape of head
1:46 2) ➡️ hair line, brow line, nose line + eyeline, mouthline
3:30 3) ⬆️ eye corners + brows, 4:25 (outer edge) nose, mouth corners, (ears)
5:00 4) features, structure
5:40 ears!
6:40 render...
7:45 understanding why > memorising the steps, but its a good starting point
Omg tysm!!!
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 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.
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..."
Omgg so helpful I was having trouble drawing a face
This is really helpful! I've been drawing portraits for a while now but I have been figuring out proportions based on the reference pictures & by practicing. Using these grid lines makes it seem much simpler. Thanks, Sam
This helped me greatly, I feel like I’ve watched I million face tutorials and every time something different just clicks, thanks Sam :)
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 😳
Yikess. Good luck with that
@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 🤔
hows it going?
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👍
Thank you I needed to hear that 😌😊
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%!
I was waiting for the details and everything and Sam just *do your thing*. Thanks man you're truly better than most of art teachers
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.
This is like the tuts my wife Nina Blangstrup does a lot of - just realism ✏️❤️ good artist support artist vid - bravo!
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
Srsly the first head drawing video that's ever helped me - thanks!!
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. 😭🤣
not everyone wants to become "master artists" but still want to know how to draw faces better, so I really like this video!
this is truly the best explanation i've found so far!! thank u! it really helped me learn how to get the proportions right. i was drawing a massive head and then the smallest facial features so it always looked off. thanks!!
Can you make a shading tutorial? Is it just me or is Sam super good at coloring and shading?
You think you're so big? you think you're so tough ? 😂😂😂
Sounds like ethan
omg this video is literally the best face tutorial i've ever seen in youtube. Thanks!
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.
Yes i need thIs ♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♡︎♡︎
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!!
I love your videos 😭😭 they are always interesting, and you explain everything so clear and easy. You are really inspiring. Whenever I want to draw I watch your videos and it just keeps me going and it's a lot more fun
Hey Sam. Thank you! I love how you explain and breakdown each step. We need more videos like this:)
"When in doubt just put hair all over the ears" me: puts hair all over the face
F
I'm soooooooo glad you're doing this! Loved your art for a while now!
the way you explain is litterally the best, you're my teacher from now on!!!
I’ve been waiting for this kind of tutorial from you, it helps a lot! Thank you!🤗
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?
Not a "certified" art teacher... Boy!!! You're the one who needs to be teaching!! 😁
Finally.. a tutorial for beginners that is really for beginners.. thanks for covering all the basics in this..
Thank you for putting this out. I really needed a different perspective than the one I used before
I really like your pace and quiet clear kind voice...keeping it simple so a beginner can be successful.
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!
Please dude keep this series and teach us everything! Thanks! ❤️✌️
You are so easy to understand, thank you for breaking this down!
This help so much. I can’t believe how my face turn out.
Thank you Sam 🥰🥰🥰
You have an excellent way of seeing the world.
I really needed this!! 😭 thank you so much for this Sam!

You just made my day man ❤ Laughing and learning at the same time! You're awesome 👌
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 just really like both your art style and the way you teach
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
