oh hi, you looking cute today. Class is in session though so PAY attenttione. This has been requested on every recent videos so I hope it helps you have a great weekend, otherwise I'm sending you to detention.
@Elliepopcorn all it takes to learn the proportions and how to apply them is practice of Loomi's (?) method of drawing faces. Just draw them a lot and don't render/leave with a very simple shading, lines are all that's needed You can find a ton of tutorials online, or can read his book on drawing the head (I heard a lot of positive reviews about it)
finally a tutorial about facial expressions, I remember commenting on one of your posts in Facebook that recommended about making a tutorial on facial expressions because I was having a hard time drawing expressions at that time, thanks for making this tutorial
Tbh, expressions is the one thing that I need to take advantage of. It’ll bring my art to the next level but I was always so confused about conveying certain emotions, I’m so used to drawing my characters with a simple 😐 face lmfao. Thank you for this! 💕
I guess to get more expresive, you need to help with body language. You need to push your character that you can read how he/she feel it even without see their face. Man Marc classes are amazing!
Marc, can you give us some tips on creating interesting and unique characters, and then keeping them looking the same through different poses, outfits and expressions? Maybe you could explain how fashion composition, poses, expressions, and color theory make memorable characters.
I've been watching your youtube videos for a few months now, and I just wanted to say thank you for making these! As a kid I was always drawing something somewhere, and somewhere along the way I had lost that passion, but you've helped me in finding that spark again! You inspire thousands of people every day, and you are truly an incredible instructor and person. I'm getting teary eyes just writing this damned post but it's so important that you know how big of a difference you are making in peoples lives. I don't know if I'll ever be a professional artist, but the joy i've gotten from finding that passion again has truly been transformative in my life. I hope to be able to take your full course someday! From the bottom of my heart: Thank you, Marc.
I wanted to leave a comment with the same thoughts, but you already did, and there is nothing to add, great words! Really helpful channel, so inspiring! I'm very happy that one day I found it! Marc is amazing
This video is so helpful! Thank you Marc! And Marc ive been struggling with drawing Characters like characters sitting or juat standing in perspective, I hope you can make more videos about Perspectives more! Thank you Marc! ❤
I'd love to see a follow up to this with how lighting changes the different expressions. Have found a lot of my art gets very different expression entirely by which position I place the light source. Low angle lighting really does make characters look menacing sometimes when the same expression is a normal smile when lit from above
I love you're tutorials and tips so much man Im currently an 11 year old learning about art and striving to be an artist ever since I was young I always admired about how cartoons are animated, paintings, those youtube animations about theyre ocs and stuff😆 you're motivation honestly thank you marc🦍🦍💞‼️‼️
Thank you very much for your assistance; it is greatly appreciated ❤️. I've been having trouble painting facial expressions. But, in your next video, could you please make a tutorial on how to draw a character face consistently? I've been struggling with that as well.
And just when I needed it I found this video on my "watch later" Playlist. Thanks for sharing this knowledge🥺❤️ Also, it's not very important but when we express emotions our pupils react as well (with fear they get smaller and with happiness they get bigger) it's a little detail that is usually exaggerated on animation.
I cannot express how many things other people have explained and I didn't understand, that you do it is instantly 💡. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💯🏴☠️💜✌🏼💪🏼
I recently watched a video explaining how important it is for content creators to get those likes and subscribes. I had no idea how wild the RU-vid algorithm was. For anyone that doesn't like the video: please do!
Man this was amazing... Can you make a tutorial on how to draw faces tilting forwards and backwards one day? I really struggle with placing the facial features when I'm trying to tilt faces. As always thank you for all your hard work Marc ❤
As much as this helps with drawing it can also help with acting since you are showing ways to draw your expressions beginner actors can use this as a big help knowing what they have to do to get the expression!!😊
Ive been rewatching this quite a few times now just to refresh the info thank you for all you give to us marc, i hope to give something back to share to you soon! :) hope you had a nice day ps. your new video was great too because its what ive been doing past few weeks as well xD
Im two years late to thie video but omg this is FANTASTIC. Im attempting my first reference sheet for a character and this video is everything i needed to help me draw out their various facial expresssions. Will definitely be rewatching this a few times 😆
It's kind of a fun exercise to draw a dozen rather simple "smileys" with exaggerated expressions (not just typical emotions, but various reaction faces for no better description) and then try to copy those with the face of some character(s) you came up with. The first part of doodling the smileys seems to make it a bit easier, since you're thinking of the features of a desired expression rather than trying to get things right with proportions or other technical details. The challenge is getting what you did with the smileys to fit on the other character while keeping still its traits intact. Can be done for fun alone, but if trying to do it more like a study just block it out on a grid to do side-by-sides.
Other RU-vidr: **5 minutes intro* ***another 6 minutes of their backstory on how they got into digital arts* *****1 minute of tips saying "just keep practicing"* Marc: "im built different"
A suggestion for a future class: how to draw different ethnicities! There is hardly anything around as well explained as your videos on it ☺🤗🙈 especially not in a bundle with more than one ethnicity
What a great video ! BEST tutorial ever I seen, was struggling for a long time but with this I am getting so much better Thank you for this amazing piece.
Why I cant like this more? Thank you my friend. The last part was amazing. that simple trick of turn the head up/down helps push the emotions. I really like it.
That was super helpful! To the point and all you need basically, I've struggled a lot with some emotions and now I have a solid starting point for any expression. Thank you!
I recently got a Huion pen tablet, so I have been binge watching your amazing classes....I love the weird ways you begin your videos and I love how interesting your classes are.....also you have really nice cheek bones bro...you are very good looking,anyway keep on making amazing videos Marc
I very like idea of thinking how muscle will move, before making expressions, that's very valuable advice even if it's hard for me to distinguish them.
My method of thinking about emotions are what are they doing to our bodies: If you are surprised you want to take in as much information in as possible because of the sudden change in atmosphere. If your angry , your body tenses up.... But later I realize , that it only works on very extreme sensations and feelings so my characters usually look either nothing or world end. So this video filled those gaps in between
