it's a very good manga, I hope it can attract everyone's attention so that people know there is a manga this interesting to read, keep up the enthusiasm, thank you for the tutorial.❤
Hi shidzilla I am samarth from India I have read your Manga that was very much good I liked a lot I was luck that my friend was having that Manga but in India I have searched every stationary store but I could not get you Manga (in her world) can you pls can give the link of that Manga
Most artists just show how to draw in anime style but very few point out the absolute need to do warmups for circle and line confidence, let alone repetition. This is exactly the advice I was looking for. Thank you.
Never in my life saw a tutorial video 27 mins long,I usually skip skip skip and reach end part and I lose interest but I really find this video interesting and this video was really useful! This is the best tutorial anyone can get....
I remember watching this over and over when I first started drawing anime. Now I'm able to make perfect heads and slightly decent bodies.You've been a major help in my art journey, and I'd like to thank you!
I agree tbh. In youtube i see alot of STEP BY STEP guide but there isnt any step by step at all. Like they just start drawing hair or eyes but not explaining where to proportion it. Im having a hard time practicing becos my proportion keep feeling awkward. So i came to find a good video that tells me where i should position things
Started my artist journey in February and this tutorial has been my number one to come back to for refreshers and getting the basics down again. Thank you for posting this video and helping people like me get a foot hold in this incredibly difficult, but rewarding journey!
@@TopHat_ok Never thought anyone would really be interested in my progress, never had the chance to look at this until now. I'll admit, I'm not the best example to look at if you are looking for a case of linear growth as I am quite admittedly an extremely slow learner and I have absolutely zero "natural talent" when it comes to art or drawing in general. In fact I was mocked a lot growing up with how poorly I can draw, so I think its safe to say that I have a lot of work to do before I manage to make anything that I would feel comfortable showing off/posting. To maybe answer in a more proper way though; the last year or so has not been too kind to me so there was definitely a lot less practice than I should have committed to, but hey life sucks sometimes! What I can say though is that I feel like I am more "aware" of shapes and such now when I look at every day objects, which is something I could never do before. When I look at things infront of me, I can break them down in simple shapes at their specific angle to deconstruct them into a sketch and build upon them from there. When I have an empty page open and I am trying to draw a head or maybe the coffee cup on my desk, I don't freeze up and become clueless as to what to do or start and can make that effort in piecing it together. TLDR, have a long way to go and have much to learn still, and I think my age and my already extremely poor start is holding me back a bit. But I hope with more practice and dedication to nailing fundamentals I could maybe have a skill that I can be proud of and feel some kind of redemption. Hope that is somewhat what you were looking to hear!
Started drawing today and I'm using your series as a guide! One day, I cannot draw at all (not even stickmen), but I really want to draw manga one day, so I've started my journey. Going to keep on doing the conditioning exercises and consistently practice drawing faces until I've mastered each angle and can move onto part 2- anime eyes! Thank you so much for creating these videos. They're super easy to follow even for a complete amateur like me and I did manage to draw faces (though they're not nearly as good as yours).
thank you very much and i'm proud of you :) it makes me happy when someone follows the whole tutorial process, that way i will know if this is really effective
@@niharap1269 It’s going really good, thank you! Believe me when I say I cannot draw at all (I meant what I said above about not even being able to draw stick men), so I am horrible, but I’m already seeing small improvements. At first, my faces were way too big, but my circles have improved massively and now they look more realistic. I saw improvement from day 2. Now, I’m just trying to perfect my circles and the jaw line, but I’m excited for my progress. I’m loving it so far
I’ve been getting into drawing anime recently but only ever drew what I saw from a reference. I never really understood the fundamentals and a lot turned out looking kinda funny. After watching this, I feel a lot more confident and like I finally understand what I’m drawing and how to make it better! Thank you!!!!
You are the Drawabox of anime! So many videos I've watched and finally someone broke it down to even the curve of lines. I can't believe this is free for us. Thank you!
this video teaches me three things. 1: Be patient 2: Go with the flow 3: keep doing it what ive learn doing these things is my hand is like a wind that flow the pencil and make circles, i rlly like the tutorial thanks alot. Now i can make Ai hoshino
The go with the flow one is really a way to just think while you plan Also I never knew how to draw faces sideways before this(ESPECIALLY THE NECK BC I WAS ALL LIKE *ok how is this gonna work when the ear connects BUT I MADE A SMALL NECK* ), thank you so much
I swear I couldn’t even draw a good circle before this video and now I actually understand how to draw. This one video helped me so much more than anything else ever has. Thank you so much for creating this and helping so many people!
Finally, a tutorial for beginners... other tutorials are like, do this and that then add some features... never how to do the features, no exercises... I remember back in school we were told that when we teach a friend imagine the other person doesn't know anything about the subject. We beginners don't know anything and this is what we need. Thank you for the video...
shidzilla: *draw a circle* my hand: *let's draw an egg* --------------------------------------------------------- edit: i can die peacefully now my circle is perfect 🧚🏻♀️
My 9th grade teachers head was shaped like an egg and I spoke to her one time and started laughing. I lied to her and said I was just thinking about a joke the boys told me it's not appropriate for school when I was actually laughing about her egghead. 😅😬
I know I'm just repeating what others have already said but, I really dig this video. I've been drawing on and off for close to 40 years. I've never had any kind of formal training so your tutorial is just what I needed. TRAINING!!! This video is clear, FREE, and very easy to follow. I look forward to watching more tutorials!!! Keep them coming!!!
thank you very much, i'm teaching someone irl how to draw anime and i observe what parts they are having trouble with so i thought to myself many people are having this problem too :)
Just wanted to say thank you for the awesome tutorial videos! I had tried drawing on and off along time ago when I was younger but never really got anywhere in any serious way until I found your tutorial series a few months ago. Yesterday I finished the first piece of art I can feel proud of and it wouldn't have been possible without your tutorials so thank you!!
Be sure to finish the ads when it appears (please dont skip) It helps the artist to monetized the video. And Shidzilla definitely deserves all the support he can have ♥️
@@Shidzilla facs here Shid. Hows the Manga Music Video I made for My Little Goddess? I'm trying to learn how to draw by watching your videos. Cant find someone who'll draw my stories so maybe I'll draw it myself 😆 I got an old model of drawing tablet here. Wish me luck
Out of all the videos I watched in learning how to draw anime for beginners, I really get it more here. I've been interested in trying how draw recently and this is a great help tysm^^
Shidzilla this was very big help for me thank you because I’m trying to traditionally draw my science fantasy anime series and art style would be a love letter 80s and 90s anime and your tutorial was extremely helpful.
Your this video was the first video I've come across that teaches the basics very clearly. It was a year ago I saw your video.... then started drawing using your circle and + method. It was very helpful. There are many videos on TH-cam that teaches anime drawing basics. But if someone is starting anime drawing he/she should first see your video. Lots of love to you ❤
I've been practicing for a day straight and I can say I have found myself becoming so much more confident in my drawing / shape structure. I just started to learn drawing, and I wanted to learn a manga style as my end goal. This was a extremely good first step for learning for me, and I can't wait to check out your other stuff, thank you SO MUCH! P.S. You are correct, repetition is so important. Also, just being confident in a simple circle / line makes all the difference, so thanks for pointing that out!!
This tutorial is so perfect for my ADHD. Every other tutorial just goes by so fast with no instruction and I feel lost and discouraged, thank you for taking your time to actually show us how to do it! 🥰🥰
@@Shidzillayess, I am so happy that I found your tutorial, I started drawing recently and I wanted to learn how to draw anime characters, all the other tutorials are so demotivating and I get distracted easily I am glad to have found this tutorial, I hope my art improves
I really can’t say how helpful this has been. I thought I would never be able to draw something that seemed remotely good, but now I feel like everything is so much simpler, and even I could master it with some practice. Thank you for making this!
I wish more people did what you do. Usually tutorials like these just give us the steps, but you're actually teaching us how to think about the subjects, what to look for, and otherwise which steps are just a matter of grinding and how to do it efficiently.
This is probably the most helpful art video I've seen on youtube so far. I'm not exactly a beginner in art, but I haven't drawn any anime/manga yet. No one has teached me this before too. This was very helpful! Thank you! 🤗
Aaaah, I have been searching for your channel all these years, and I finally found someone to teach me the basics of drawing anime for free... With my best wishes, a follower from Iraq
This is the best! I rlly love the series alot! You teach stuff very very clearly! Most of tutorials never tell us to warm up by drawing a certain shape. Your teaching method is so good😭 i have been looking for tuts that teach Parallel and side views but this is the most understandable vid. The existence of this series is a bless to the universe. Arigato senpai!🥺
Hey @Shidzilla214. I am starting to sketch again after almost 12 years and I am learning it starting with your playlist. It is really awesome how your videos are well structured. No other playlist is as good as this one. Keep going buddy, don't stop this work.
I subscribed! This is really what I wanted, the basic of basic! Thank you so much please do some moreeeee. I've been wanting to make manga someday and I love to learn to draw anime from you!
YOU are the only one who teach to draw anime CLEARLY I wasn't able find anyone but you.THANK YOU SOO MUCH and keep up the good work. You really deserve more views and subscribers 🥺❤️✨
Thank you so much Shidzilla. When I used to search for 'how to draw anime', I always used to just get those speedart-type videos where they draw from beginning to end and I didn't understand how to copy or what they did but you helped me with it. Now, I know why my side and semi-side faces looked totally different from those guys. Thank you again and I'll definitely make sure to practice those difficult faces on all my friends' shirts XD
I will agree that when i started drawing anime, this was the first video i watched and it did help me, however, it is not a bad habit to draw circles with multiple lines, that actually helps me, and it is a matter of preference, but thank you for this wonderful video!
I would like to express my gratitude. Ever since i started following your tutorials, my drawing skills have tremendously improved and my dream of one day my own comic and animated series no longer seems so distant. I cannot thank you enough.
much love to you Shidzilla. Thank you for this. I didn't even realize it was 27mins till someone mentioned. followed through daily like my mantra for the past 3 days and now my hands feel way free unlike how stiff they were when I started. Again, thank you so much
Hello, Ive just realized I've been doing the very basics wrong for my entire life. I've asked around, apparently you're supposed to use your wrist and sometimes even your entire arm while drawing. I've just been using 2 fingers for my entire life, only moving my wrist when where I want to write/draw is out of range. it explains not only why my handwriting sucks and why I suck at drawing, but also why I dislike writing so much. this video somehow just made me realise what's been holding me back. thank you for moving your hand when you draw... I will return to this video after I relearn these absolute basics.
I can't believe I found a tutorial channel and also my own arstyle. This is where my journey as an artist starts. And I can't thank you enough for making these tutorial vids.
18:35 ok so this part helped me a LOT and imporve in drawing the face and understanding and observing the lines, So in short i'm just saying that your video is really great and easy to understand😊
Thank you so much! Finally a truly beginner drawing guide! Kinda nice to see even seasoned artists can't draw perfect circles or straight lines. I shouldn't be so hard on myself and just focus on the learning process you are showing here. And that slow sketching of a circle being a bad habit was nice to point out. I must remind myself to do it in one stroke. Thank you again.
I have been trying to get the basics down for faces for over a year now through books and online tutorials bit this one really breaks it down to basic level. I really think these tips will help me improve, thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge 😊!
Dude! , that's the best tutorial i have found not only about art, but the whole organization and dedication in it Unlike others who say watch my speeded time-lapse, you did it step by step and repeated it, that's so amazing 👏 You earned a sub , keep up the amazing work :D
Can you do a whole video just for eyes...or better yet hands? Hands are honestly an "artist"'s worst enemy. I said "artists" as in anybody who draws. .... cuz just because they draw doesn't mean they are artists.
For anyone having trouble, just remember, take it 1 step at a time till you perfect that and move on. Also do it slowly don't rush the circles and lines having patience is key.
I love arts and manga but I can't draw. So, I thought it's not late to learn how to draw. But some other tutorials were like from beginner in lesson 1 to artist in lesson 2. But this tutorials seem helpful. Thank you so much.
Great video, this is the best tutorial ever, real basic for people like me who can draw at all. and yet im still struggling as a beginner. i cant tell if im improving or not its only my 2nd day of practice. wonder how long ill need to keep practicing on the head alone before its safe to move on to the eyes and all that lol.
I come here to say your videos/series need more views. I sat and did circles and lines for like an hour or so compared to a channel I watched before spending like 3 hours drawing way to many technical lines- not understanding. This is so easy and simple and it unlocked my brain on perspective of the face. I was so excited I stayed up till 6 am just drawing perspectives. Thank you sooo much. Thank youuuu!
I've been trying to learn how to draw the Mark Crikey way in his book Mastering Manga. I was struggling a bit until I found your video! Your guide lines are so simple and easy to replicate!
This is my first tutorial and i checked out other channel tutorial after watching this ,all of them are just drawing for themself , not actully teaching .Really Underrated channel
I practicing drawing everyday but after I watch this I realize I've been doing it wrong,literally all of it were wrong,so I had to start it all over again.Anyway your tutorial is very very helpful and I would like to thank you for this masterpiece.
What Shidzilla sama forgets to mention (can't blame him. He's a pro, he probably forgot a thing or two about his newbie days) is how extremely slowly you need to start drawing these circles and lines. Once you nail the circle and continue nailing the circle your body goes "I have this hugeass stack of paper for drawing circles. Let's speed things up." and so it does. When I tried drawing on Shidzilla sama's speed first and drew turds. No, seriously, it looks like... I think bunny turds? When I slowed down extremely, I did get that nice circle, at which point my body sped up a little and I started drawing bunny turds again. I sped down just a bit until I got the circle, at which point my body sped up again. Lesson: start ridiculously slow.
Hey, man. I appreciate your work. Thank you for this, this was very informative. For once I wasn’t too overwhelmed when watching a tutorial. Might I ask though, what is the best to start practicing on. The face or human anatomy or does it not matter?
i dont know if which is better but for me i learned face first because i want to draw the anime characters that i like, i only started to learn anatomy when i started to do manga
I'm watching this a year later but I'm just gonna say this anyways - This is the MOST helpful tutorial I have ever seen! I've been drawing anime for 2 years now and I'm still a noob but this helped me so much to understand how to draw the faces side ways! I really think this channel is still very underrated and I hope it gets the fame it deserves. I'm excited to learn more from you ^ω^

@@Shidzillayess, I am so happy that I found your tutorial, I started drawing recently and I wanted to learn how to draw anime characters, all the other tutorials are so demotivating and I get distracted easily I am glad to have found this tutorial, I hope my art improves
"keep drawing circles on your paper"
Me: *draws circles*
One hour later..
Me: *still trying to draw circles*
I use a circle tool because I only draw on a computer lol
Lol i also use a computer to draw but im also learning traditional art as well
@@Katue noice
I practiced drawing circles for hours and I still couldn't get it right!
@@yurionedge2199 same, just got to keep practicing
I really can’t say how helpful this has been. I thought I would never be able to draw something that seemed remotely good, but now I feel like everything is so much simpler, and even I could master it with some practice. Thank you for making this!
thats so awesome! really makes me happy
I wish more people did what you do. Usually tutorials like these just give us the steps, but you're actually teaching us how to think about the subjects, what to look for, and otherwise which steps are just a matter of grinding and how to do it efficiently.
This is probably the most helpful art video I've seen on youtube so far. I'm not exactly a beginner in art, but I haven't drawn any anime/manga yet. No one has teached me this before too. This was very helpful! Thank you! 🤗
Wow, thank you!
I’ve never drawn before in my whole life, this video is perfect, instantly subscribed
thank you very much and good luck!
the pencil i'm using is a Mechanical pencil, 0.5 HB. you can get it in any art supply stores :)
Thanks for everything 💜🤗
gg
Bro can we use normal pencil
@@nitrongamer3103 nope, I tried and several people died.

Aaaah, I have been searching for your channel all these years, and I finally found someone to teach me the basics of drawing anime for free... With my best wishes, a follower from Iraq
This is the best! I rlly love the series alot! You teach stuff very very clearly! Most of tutorials never tell us to warm up by drawing a certain shape. Your teaching method is so good😭 i have been looking for tuts that teach
Parallel and side views but this is the most understandable vid. The existence of this series is a bless to the universe. Arigato senpai!🥺
thank you very much :)
Any body from 2024?

Meee
Yessss ❤❤
Heeeeeyyyyyyy!!!!!!

I like how he likes all the comments... so motivating!!!!
I was so bad at the straight lines but then I realized....I guess my hand is as gay as me-
LOL XD
why are the lines on the pride flags straight when you aren't?

Hey @Shidzilla214. I am starting to sketch again after almost 12 years and I am learning it starting with your playlist. It is really awesome how your videos are well structured. No other playlist is as good as this one. Keep going buddy, don't stop this work.
I subscribed! This is really what I wanted, the basic of basic! Thank you so much please do some moreeeee. I've been wanting to make manga someday and I love to learn to draw anime from you!
Thanks for subbing! glad this tutorials help you,i will post a new tutorial vid in 2-3 days :)
@@Shidzilla thank you so much I've been trying to draw anime now I really get it thanks for getting down to the basics.
@@levihankins2271 thank you! glad this vid helped you :)
YOU are the only one who teach to draw anime CLEARLY I wasn't able find anyone but you.THANK YOU SOO MUCH and keep up the good work. You really deserve more views and subscribers 🥺❤️✨
thank you very much! thats so good to hear :)
Thank you so much Shidzilla. When I used to search for 'how to draw anime', I always used to just get those speedart-type videos where they draw from beginning to end and I didn't understand how to copy or what they did but you helped me with it. Now, I know why my side and semi-side faces looked totally different from those guys. Thank you again and I'll definitely make sure to practice those difficult faces on all my friends' shirts XD
im happy you learned something new! yes draw on their shirts ahaha!
I'm sharing this video to my friends
I will agree that when i started drawing anime, this was the first video i watched and it did help me, however, it is not a bad habit to draw circles with multiple lines, that actually helps me, and it is a matter of preference, but thank you for this wonderful video!
great practice advice, hate when people say "just draw"
thank you :) i hate that too
I was having difficulty following some, Anime Drawing Books. You made it even more easy
[me] I can not do this
[my mind] you can do this
[me] I'm done
[My family] uh it's good
[Me]it's terrible
lol!
Never gonna give you up
@@yosefandre8399 never gonna let you down
@@dc-yu9mv never gonna run around and desert you
@@yukigi4826 Never gonna make you cry. Never gonna say goodbye
I would like to express my gratitude. Ever since i started following your tutorials, my drawing skills have tremendously improved and my dream of one day my own comic and animated series no longer seems so distant. I cannot thank you enough.
Because of you I can now draw a perfect circle without any instrument
nice im happy for you
much love to you Shidzilla. Thank you for this. I didn't even realize it was 27mins till someone mentioned. followed through daily like my mantra for the past 3 days and now my hands feel way free unlike how stiff they were when I started. Again, thank you so much
You are so welcome! im glad it was helpful :)
Hello, Ive just realized I've been doing the very basics wrong for my entire life.
I've asked around, apparently you're supposed to use your wrist and sometimes even your entire arm while drawing.
I've just been using 2 fingers for my entire life, only moving my wrist when where I want to write/draw is out of range.
it explains not only why my handwriting sucks and why I suck at drawing, but also why I dislike writing so much.
this video somehow just made me realise what's been holding me back. thank you for moving your hand when you draw...
I will return to this video after I relearn these absolute basics.
thats great! sometimes this tutorial does things i wasn't expecting, now you can improve your drawings!
I can't believe I found a tutorial channel and also my own arstyle. This is where my journey as an artist starts. And I can't thank you enough for making these tutorial vids.
Personally I'm pretty good at writing stories. The only thing I need now, IS ART SKILLS and then HIYA CHA CHA it begins
good luck to both of you! i will start how to draw manga series soon
18:35 ok so this part helped me a LOT and imporve in drawing the face and understanding and observing the lines, So in short i'm just saying that your video is really great and easy to understand😊
im glad that you learned so much :)
Its good to refreshen your memory every once in awhile on basic things, surely helps prevent artblock.
Thanks so much for this vid. I just started learning how to sketch and draw and this is the most informative video yet. Again, thanks so much!
this was actually very helpful this is the first vid I have ever watched from your channel and it helped me improve alot in the first 11;00 mins
thats amazing, im glad to hear that :D
Thank you so much! Finally a truly beginner drawing guide!
Kinda nice to see even seasoned artists can't draw perfect circles or straight lines. I shouldn't be so hard on myself and just focus on the learning process you are showing here. And that slow sketching of a circle being a bad habit was nice to point out. I must remind myself to do it in one stroke.
Thank you again.
I have been trying to get the basics down for faces for over a year now through books and online tutorials bit this one really breaks it down to basic level. I really think these tips will help me improve, thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge 😊!
thank you, i hope you learn from this too :)
Dude! , that's the best tutorial i have found not only about art, but the whole organization and dedication in it
Unlike others who say watch my speeded time-lapse, you did it step by step and repeated it, that's so amazing 👏
You earned a sub , keep up the amazing work :D
thank you very much :)
@@Shidzilla your welcome ^_^
The most accurate and helpful drawing tutorial ever. Thank you so much, now I can finally start drawing.
You're very welcome!
Me - wow this seems easy enough!
My circles - oO0o@[]
this legit made me laugh :D
LMFAOOO SAME BRUH
@@Shidzilla my progress since this comment is impressive thank you so much 🙏🏽
@@mizuki7yearsago626 you can do it XD
Yeah me too sometimes it's perfect sometimes it's not and I cried..😢
I have learnt so much. I deeply want to thank you. I'll keep on practicing.
happy that i helped you :)
EASILY THE BEST TEACH EVERRRRRRRRRRRR
Can you do a whole video just for eyes...or better yet hands? Hands are honestly an "artist"'s worst enemy. I said "artists" as in anybody who draws. .... cuz just because they draw doesn't mean they are artists.
the eyes, thats for sure, that will be on the next video. about the hands, i know what it feels like haha took me a long time to learn it too
@@Shidzilla yeah -___-
lol
Hands: ✋
Hands if i draw them: 🍟
@@AbleIllusionist 🤣🤣
For anyone having trouble, just remember, take it 1 step at a time till you perfect that and move on. Also do it slowly don't rush the circles and lines having patience is key.
I love arts and manga but I can't draw. So, I thought it's not late to learn how to draw. But some other tutorials were like from beginner in lesson 1 to artist in lesson 2. But this tutorials seem helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you!!
I'm a beginner and I want to learn how to draw!
This is really helpful 💗
im glad this was helpful, i'll be posting a new tutorial next week
Thank you this was really helpful and surprisingly i sat through this one unlike most tutorials i'll make sure to practice everyday thank you
thank you very much XD goodluck with your practice
this video really helped me get started considering most other tutorial just told you to copy people and not show you the techniques required
other: learning to draw a circle
me: *laughs in procreate*
Same except I use ibisPaint lol
in elem school i used to trace, its so embarrasing to think about, so i want to learn, and redeem myself, this tutorial helped, alot.
Tbh this may be one of if not the most useful beginners guide
Nice video!
I really wanna to learn to draw anime by myself long ago
This help me so much!
Glad I could help!
You worth 1 billion subs and views
Best video I have ever seen
Congrats new sub
Thank you so much 😀
I have browsed through dozens of tutorials...but this one is the only one that taught me PRECISELY how to draw an ikemen side profile. Thank you!!!!
People told me drawing is a talent that someone has to be born with
And I refused to believe them
yes don't believe them, talent is nothing without hard work
@@Shidzilla can I be great at drawing illustration even though I am already 17?
Great video, this is the best tutorial ever, real basic for people like me who can draw at all. and yet im still struggling as a beginner. i cant tell if im improving or not its only my 2nd day of practice. wonder how long ill need to keep practicing on the head alone before its safe to move on to the eyes and all that lol.
dont worry about your progress for now its just you 2nd day :)
I come here to say your videos/series need more views. I sat and did circles and lines for like an hour or so compared to a channel I watched before spending like 3 hours drawing way to many technical lines- not understanding. This is so easy and simple and it unlocked my brain on perspective of the face. I was so excited I stayed up till 6 am just drawing perspectives. Thank you sooo much. Thank youuuu!
I already failed at drawing circles in uniform style lol
lol your hand really gonna hurt in first few tried XD
😂😂😂😂
I've been trying to learn how to draw the Mark Crikey way in his book Mastering Manga. I was struggling a bit until I found your video! Your guide lines are so simple and easy to replicate!
thank you :)
underrated
Very cool 👍. Heads are easier than i expected. But one thing scares me yet to this day
Hands
Same
i know you guys will be fine :)
This is my first tutorial and i checked out other channel tutorial after watching this ,all of them are just drawing for themself , not actully teaching .Really Underrated channel
Yes looking forward on the series :)
thank you, i had fun doing it! i just wish i could upload videos faster but im busy right now.
It was hard to make the circle and the jaw line I paracticed this both and I finally improved thank you . And now the target is eyes and lips
Useful video. Any one can draw anime if he watch this video. Thank you to upload this video
I am having alot of trouble on the jaw and the circle
Use pro circle and scale it will help
I practicing drawing everyday but after I watch this I realize I've been doing it wrong,literally all of it were wrong,so I had to start it all over again.Anyway your tutorial is very very helpful and I would like to thank you for this masterpiece.
thank you very much! and i admire that you are willing to start over and learn a new way of drawing
This si the most basically step how to draw manga, very nice job Shidzilla :D
What Shidzilla sama forgets to mention (can't blame him. He's a pro, he probably forgot a thing or two about his newbie days) is how extremely slowly you need to start drawing these circles and lines. Once you nail the circle and continue nailing the circle your body goes "I have this hugeass stack of paper for drawing circles. Let's speed things up." and so it does.
When I tried drawing on Shidzilla sama's speed first and drew turds. No, seriously, it looks like... I think bunny turds?
When I slowed down extremely, I did get that nice circle, at which point my body sped up a little and I started drawing bunny turds again.
I sped down just a bit until I got the circle, at which point my body sped up again.
Lesson: start ridiculously slow.
thats a good tip :) yeah there are some steps i already forgot because of how long im doing things hahah
Hey, man. I appreciate your work. Thank you for this, this was very informative. For once I wasn’t too overwhelmed when watching a tutorial. Might I ask though, what is the best to start practicing on. The face or human anatomy or does it not matter?
i dont know if which is better but for me i learned face first because i want to draw the anime characters that i like, i only started to learn anatomy when i started to do manga
Thanks for making this video Shidzilla.
got inspired by inspired by pewds. Ill draw 30 min everyday for 100 days . let see how it goes
me too. pewds is a good drawer.
Ayy me too
you'll definitely improve you you draw everyday
How you doing?
How is it?
I'm watching this a year later but I'm just gonna say this anyways - This is the MOST helpful tutorial I have ever seen! I've been drawing anime for 2 years now and I'm still a noob but this helped me so much to understand how to draw the faces side ways! I really think this channel is still very underrated and I hope it gets the fame it deserves. I'm excited to learn more from you ^ω^
thank you very much! and this is the reason i still want to upload more tutorials! sorry that im kinda slow XD
