Hi there ! I´m a Concept Artist from Berlin, Germany. This channel is all about art development and life as artist. I want to inspire you ! so you start drawing & painting and create art.
ive watched a lot of videos on how to draw the head and face, and none have helped like this one. thank you so much for making this easily accessible! i love how you dive into the individual parts of the face.
@@Danny-rp4xp it is a great starting point to learn the basic ratios and how to build up heads, the down side is the dependability we build up by using this method over and over again. Because faces and heads are so different it makes it harder later on.
I started off in elementary with "drawing what I see" and got really good at it. It only made me suck all this time later at drawing perspective from the head. Now I'm trying to learn from scratch because that drawing what you see thing, messed me up.
Thank you for the interesting video. I'm trying to navigate between my job, my dogs and learning. My big problem is that sometimes when I start learning session I just lose the count of time and i end up learning all day with only breaks to walk my dogs and play with them. Sometimes I even forget I ve to eat lol. It took away a lot of my social life but I'm feeling so rewarded turning from someone who couldn't even draw a straight line into someone getting somewhat confident with drawing.
Actually ,this guy is not telling you the truth."Art" sells for two reasons: "Fine art" sells only if it's famous and if it's famous it sells to investors who plan to sell it when the price goes up to make money on their investment.Commercial art sells because it's POPULAR and commercial art is created according to a popular formula.Examples of commercial art are greeting cards,t shirt designs ,art prints and posters
Hey Adrienne I appreciate your engagement, but I must firmly address your comment. Accusing me of not telling the truth is unfounded and inaccurate. It's evident that you did not fully listen to or watch the content in question, as the topics discussed are distinct from the ones you're addressing. The things you speak of and I speak of are not as close as you might have thought. Which means your understanding in general is limited. Your perspective on the reasons "art" sells whether fine art or commercial, is limited and misses key nuances. Fine art can sell for reasons beyond fame, such as its artistic merit, emotional impact, and cultural significance. Similarly, commercial art's success isn't solely tied to a "popular formula" but also to creativity, market trends, and audience connection. More over do you not even take the service component of a designer/problem solver into perspective. I do refuse to explain the whole video again because I can read a bit of ingnorance inbetween your lines. It's important to engage with the full content before making such bold claims. I stand by the information presented. Have a nice day
From this comment, it looks like you don't seem to have any information about concept art in film, animation or games industry and your comment is irrelevant to the video.
@@enchantercometome Animators are a different type of artist than I am.Gamers are a totally different type of person than I am.Those activities are not very artistic.They're really more technological
[Aug 20, 2024] Gonna be starting my art journey and committing to art daily! I can't wait to see where my progress stands after a year 😊 ill be commenting and being a part of multiple communities to show my progress. I'm excited to be taking on this dedication and this journey! I know I'll have my ups and downs with it, but wish me luck! 😄 To those who are beginning as well, dont stop believing in yourself. You will get there! Just have some patience and have fun along the way, dont give up! You got this 👍😁
I know this is off topic, but your video quality looks very sharp and professional. What camera and lens are you using? By the way, fantastic video and very helpful. Big thumbs up. :)
Hello ... @Janos.Artzone I am interested in seeing more of your experience and perspective from using copic markers for landscapes, and the learnings about light values (b&w) that you mentioned. I think it would be good for working with tonal balance, plus being a great way to learn and develop alcohol markers skills. It would would be great if you could walkthrough some of your method/techniques - they looked funcncool! New viewer - great breakdown and advice. 😌 I will subscribe 🙏 Thankyou
@@Joshua-ts6ij what work ? No professional problem solving only generated random images. That has not much to do with real work. 🙃 it’s funny so far I did not heard other professionals or co workers complain about it. Only people who instantly gave up working on their dreams which their where not able to work hard for in the first place, because they are mentally weak. You need to have mental discipline otherwise u won’t achieve this. Ai became the ultimate excuse for people to why they not make it in this industry before they even tried it. Poor society
@@Janos.Artzone i've been in this situation as an anxious beginner in the art industry because of the arrival of ia thank you for this message, it really puts my mind back in place to continue to pursue what i really love to do.
I think people say to draw from reference and to draw from life to reinforce their imagination more than anything. I agree youre shooting your self in the foot by strictly going for reference but as long as youre properly breaking references down and applying that knowledge to imagination pieces, it's only a boon. Maybe not directly with stylized stuff only but referencing as a whole is a good way to grow your visual library. Combine that with geometry, perspective, and anatomy studies and you have a good study method. Even the old masters didnt do a lot of perspective drawing and box practice, most of their stuff was honed through observation and gesture drawing so theres at least some merit to it.
@@wafam.4597 Ai is only as good as the people using it. If the person using it has no clue of the core fundamentals it is still low quality and people with the knowledge can see behind that. Everything else is impressing people who have no knowledge at all 💁🏻♂️ which means Ai is pawn and only king if you put it on a throne 🔑
As someone who is studying and practicing to become a professional artist, I find this video extremely helpful, thank you for sharing I have taken some notes along the way :D
I am honestly scared how much time it needs to be spent just to learn to draw a perfect head. I will try to stick with this plan and hope for the best. Thank you for this video!
Portfolios make no sense to me. You’d think as a prospective employer you’d want to see the artist’s process, to include less rendered works as well. I’ve seen sketches with more expression and impact than hyper realistic and fully digitized “finished” images. I agree, a good foundation is paramount, but that can literally be seen in some artists’ gesture drawings. 🤷🏽♂️
Hey Zak thank you for your comment. Well in very rare cases “sketches” or more high quality drawings lead to getting jobs. It is because a lot of instances of the hiring process are not artistic people. Recruiters, producers and sometimes even big lead positions in companies. What they need is the high quality work that aligns with the vision on the companies project. It’s not all about the expression rather than that it’s visible that you can start with an idea and finish strong. All they want is somebody who is useful for the pipeline. With a view gesture drawings you don’t come far. I met only one guy in my career who was a hell of a draftsmanship and he did all his designs with line art🔥 this is 1 out of many.
As in employer I want to see results. And I want to know that the person is able to do the type of work that I need an amount of time that I need. The whole idea that it’s how you get the work done that matters, is usually something that is only the number one important thing when getting the job done is not important. I’ve never seen any type of employer who put getting the work done second and wasn’t clear about what they needed and making sure that the prospective employee did the match, who was able to get work done. The whole idea decimation Kim more about how you getting Sun then you getting things done, or the expressionism and not be concerned about you doing stuff that they need, and I think like a Bility to actually get the work done. Which is an indication of whether you can get it done in a certain amount of time, is absolutely absurd. Your guilt buying people for knowing what they want and making sure that the people they hire can give that. That has nothing to do with creativity. And it has everything to do with knowing what she want and not settling for less because people make a logical argument that makes it seem like doing what she want it’s not how horrific. And besides if you don’t like somebody’s hiring process that’s a good reason to go someplace else. Or make your own comics. It’s kind of weird how you wanna work for people but then tell him how to do the hiring, and vilify them for actually needing to see results. Even when it comes to elementary school and focusing more on how you come to the map conclusion then it’s official you come to it still is unproductive. Because it vilifies you for your process even though you may have gotten the answer right. Which is also culturally biased. In other words focusing on everything except the results is self defeating. As it is insisting that people go about things ass backwards. If you have your own hiring process then search on business and try it out see if it works. Who knows maybe it will. But otherwise you’re choosing to work for other people only to complain about working for other people. That’s a real Cameron move.
Thank you, it was very helpful. My finding references phase is very distracting. I don't know which one to choose among thousands of references, and I keep scrolling. It makes the study very frustrating. What do you think, can you make a video about it?:)) 👍🏻
its amazing what a talented person can do ^^. here i am 9 months in and i cant draw for Sh*t yet he learned to become amazing in less then 3 to 4 months talent people talent.
@@Morphexxer nah it’s just about mileage, I started drawing with 23 years of age and the first 2 years I drew like crap even though I drew 6-8 hours a day. Just don’t stop consistency 🔑
One thing that hurt me the most was that I started focusing on painting much too early on, so my drawing foundation was not trained enough. Last year, I started to e.g. do weeks without even thinking about painting, only drawing, and it helped so much to get looser when e.g. I draw over a 3D base. For the rest of this year,too, I only want to focus on drawing & rendering figures because I also neglected this prioritizing interior environments. I can also say that mentorships don't always work out. I had much better experiences with online classes than with mentoring, the worst one of them really broke down my mental health for several months. :/" What would you tell/advice someone who isn't at the "ready" level after 6 years+? I have the feeling that I won't be able to make art a career at least 4 more years. I am no beginner, I can produce ok-decent pictures but nothing industry level high. Which also stems from studying wrong, because so many people told me so many different things to do, at the end I started learning my own way which has been... much more effective for the past year lol.
Heyyy RukileinchenChan thank you for comment and sharing your experience and journey with us. :) It is clear that you've put a tremendous amount of thought and effort into your art, and your reflections show a deep understanding of your strengths and areas for growth. It takes a lot of courage to recognize where you've struggled and to take the necessary steps to improve, so I want to acknowledge that first and foremost. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the desire to produce finished paintings and forget how cruciaal the fundamentals are. By taking the time now to really hone those skills, you're setting yourself up for much greater success in the long run. Regarding mentorships, it's tough when they don't work out as expected. Buuuuut it's important to remember that not every teaching style or mentor-mentee relationship is going to be the right fit for everyone. The fact that you've found more value in online classes and self-guided learning over the past year suggests that you're discovering the learning methods that resonate best with you. This self-awareness is invaluable and will only serve you well as you continue to grow so you are what a type of learner you are and this is awesome. Over the past 4 years I tought maaany different personalities of artist and for some it also did not worked out. But in most cases they could not bring up the effort it takes to work with 100% dedication and focus on their craft (which is still not easy to do and never to underestimate) As for not being at the "ready" level after six years, I completely understand how that can feel discouraging. But remember the path to mastery isn't a straight line. Everyone's journey in art is unique, and some paths are longer and more winding than others. What's important is that you're making progress andyou're learning more effective ways to study, and your work is improving. The fact that you can now produce "ok-decent" pictures is a significant achievement. You might not be at the industry level yet, but that doesn't mean you won't get there. Your ability to critically assess your work and adjust your approach is a sign that you're on the right track. Also if there's one piece of advice I'd give it's to be patient with yourself and trust in the process. Moreover you're clearly dedicated to your craft and that dedication will pay off. Focus on the progress you're making now rather than the timeline you think you should be following. Every artist's journey is different and what's most important is that you're moving forward in a way that feels right to you. Keep pushing, keep experimenting, and don't lose sight of the passion that brought you to art in the first place. You've already come so far, and I have no doubt that you'll continue to grow and achieve your goals. You are not alone in this journey and every challenge you face is just another step towards becoming the artist you aspire to be. So please keep going ! you're doing great :) ps: sorry for any typing mistakes wrote this on my phone xD and sorry if this was too much of an response just felt like saying that.
did he had prio knowledge? I saw that pretty often that people had a pretty good base and while there were in school they skyrocket its completly different for people that have literally zero knowledge and never had a pen in their hand
@@Janos.Artzone well the problem is am from a third world country and our banks don't support international credit cards so I can't pay for a member ship even tho I'd love to support u and any other artist online
Nice Video Janos! I really like your realistic approach about this topic, most channels try to sell courses with some sort of magic trick or try to lead people into expectations that there is some "easy way around". Your approach seems to be realistic and also achievable as long as someone is determinted enough to push through the hard phases of creating something and sticking to the game plan to improve your skills (doesn't matter if it's art, playing an instrument or starting to lift). Having the possibility to have you has a mentor is quite a nice chance for everyone who really wants to break through in the indstury. :)
Hey Dosenbrot thank you very much for the kind words and I do appreciate your analytical way of seeing the art journey as a realistic approach ! I also really appreacite your words about me beign a good mentor ! I also dont want to be always pushy in every video about the mentorship, I just wished back in the day to have that as a possiblity because I was alone with every mistake I made. At the end I fought through but having this these days is good oppurtunity in my opinion. So sorry if it sometimes comes accross like I try to sell it too much :D Thank you :))))
@@macariolopez8965 but that realisation is gold ! Now write down what you need to work on. Break it down in task and start with the first one :)))))) !
Structured, focused, and deeply intentional practice is required to learn how to produce engaging entertaining art. Perspective and drawing are essential skills to build. Great art requires devotion. Being a professional requires taking both art and yourself seriously enough to believe doing this quality/quantity of work will yield results.
hey, im a beginner and im gonna start this week with that plan. I had a doubt, u think its better for me, as a beginner, practice using graphite, a ballpoint pen or a Nankin?
@@caiomartins6700 hm good questions, I think if you start with ball point right away it will be the hardest but you will get better the faster. Otherwise graphite 😊☀️
@@Janos.Artzone alr thank u!!! I'll take the opportunity to ask you another question hahahahaha on the exercise 2 u said to do action lines. Im confused, im supposed to make action lines out of my mind and use them to create the gestures? or i have to look for gesture references( like exercise 1) and use them to identify the action lines? or neather and i dont get it at all? hahahahshahah
@@caiomartins6700 I would start with learning these from references if u completely new to it. If you are more advance you should start creating ur own action line 😊
@@user-crvgbhfgw5tjx ah thank you it is helpful, I’m working recently on a general informativ video to manage future goals better. So make sure to subscribe 😊🙌
