hi everyone
welcome back to another video this is
going to be
a two-part video the first part is
in real time and it is going to be a
follow along with me on how i draw
the face in a three-quarter view and
tilted up pose so
that part of the video follows the
techniques and the methods that i
mentioned
in my how to draw faces tutorial videos
so if you haven't watched those yet i
highly recommend that you watch them
first
before watching this one they will be
linked in the card section
so go ahead and watch those and then
just come back
to this the second part of this drawing
is only going to be a
time lapse i'm not going to explain my
process
in a lot of detail as i would with the
first part
so it'll just be basically me continuing
and finishing
the drawing so for the drawing
i am using a reference image for the
pose
and i got this image from instagram from
the
beautiful mika montez or micah montez
i hope i didn't say that super
incorrectly but
her photos her aesthetic oh my gosh her
style they're just
absolutely gorgeous i will leave her
links in the description box below so
you guys
can check her out as well and like
always
when it comes to drawing the face i
start off with
two basic shapes we have the circle and
the upside down triangle and because
this is going to be in a three-quarter
view we want to make sure that the
upside down triangle is asymmetrical
one side is smaller than the other and
the side
that is smaller is the direction
that the face is turned to so for
example my reference image
has her facing to the right therefore
the smaller side of the upside down
triangle
is also on the right
i then add the guidelines such as the
vertical center line so in my tutorial
video
i explain why this one isn't actually
located on the center
of what we just drew that is because
this center line is located on the
actual center
of the face therefore if this person
is looking towards the right or looking
towards the left
that center line shifts as well
so for the reference image she is facing
to the right
therefore the vertical center line um
has shifted towards the right as well
then i add the horizontal
center line which is also pretty much
the same
so normally in a full on front view the
horizontal center line is located
on the halfway point between the top of
the circle
and the bottom of the inverted triangle
however because with this particular
pose
not only is it in a three-quarter view
the head is also tilted
up so just like the vertical center line
it also shifts but instead of shifting
right or left it's shifting up or down
based on where
the head is tilted so it's tilted up
therefore it's gonna sit just slightly
higher than the actual halfway point of
the circle and the
upside down triangle i then add
the six other horizontal guidelines and
this is kind of where it gets a bit
tricky and it's not actually that
difficult to understand
however explaining it is a different
feat and i will try my best to actually
explain this
and i do recommend that you watch the
very first tutorial that i
created for this in hopes that you
understand this concept
and this technique much better so like i
mentioned
in that tutorial i have three simple
rules
one of them is perspective perspective
comes into play
with a three-quarter view and
in my tutorial i demonstrated how
perspective plays in
one direction so moving the face left
to right in this particular pose
we're using perspective in two different
directions
so we're moving the face left or right
as well
as up and down and as perspective
suggests
the further away an object is from the
viewer
the smaller it is therefore
when we have an object that is tilted
either
right or left up or down relative
to the viewer one side always moves
further away from the viewer
and the other side simultaneously moves
closer to the viewer
so this is pretty much the same as what
i've talked about in my tutorial
instead of just applying it to left or
right you also apply it to
up and down so tilting your head up
means you're moving the top of your head
further away from the viewer making it
appear smaller
and that is why we shifted the
horizontal center line
up that way the
top half of the face appears smaller
than the bottom half of the face
and that's when we add the three
guidelines on the top of the face
and they are equally spaced apart but
you will see that
the distance between the horizontal
guidelines
on the top of the face are shorter than
the
distance between the horizontal
guidelines on the bottom half
of the face and that basically explains
how i add guidelines on top of
the basic shapes as always each
horizontal guideline represents a facial
feature so
that's also on the screen and i use
those to start drawing parts of the face
such as the nose which goes on the nose
line
and since i am using a reference i try
to draw the nose as close as possible to
the reference image
maybe in a future video i will
talk about how i draw a nose in more
detail
however i am still using the basics that
i showed you in my tutorial video for
example
i'm drawing a small circle for the tip
of the nose and then i'm using
curves for the nostrils however for this
particular nose
i've drawn them a lot a little bit wider
and they're not as
curved and i also drew
a line for the bridge but it's not as
pronounced so i leave a gap around the
eye area as you can see
next is i draw the lips which is a very
common pose
for lips so i start off with a trapezium
shape for the mouth opening and then i
draw the upper and lower lips using the
asymmetrical leaf shape as a guide which
i mentioned in my
tutorial video once again and
because the face is turned to the right
this
shape for the lips are actually
asymmetrical
where the right side is smaller than the
left
side after that i move on to the eyes
making sure that the right
eye is slightly smaller than the left
eye because her face
is turned to the right and then i draw
the curves for the eyelids
much higher um than where i normally
would draw them
for a subtle deep set eye but also
because in the reference image she's
actually lifting or raising her eyebrows
which um shifts the line for the eyelid
higher up as well and with that said i
then draw the eyebrows
and then i draw them a little higher up
than the guideline
because in the reference photo she's
subtly
raising her eyebrows to give off that
model
sultry look after that i then draw the
ovals for the cheeks
i add the outline for the face
and then i draw the ear on the left side
i don't draw the right ear because
with this view it's not visible and then
i also draw the hairline
and that pretty much finishes how i draw
this particular
pose for the face and
from here on it's not going to be a
step-by-step
in-depth explanation as to how i draw or
what i do
with this particular drawing since we're
going to enter
the speed paint part of the video
this video is also sponsored by
skillshare
and i do want to thank skillshare for
making yet another video possible for

and hopefully they can help you learn
the basics
and advanced techniques on how to draw
faces
so like i said the second part of this
video is mostly going to focus
on the speed paint and me continuing
the sketch that i have drawn in the
first part of this video
and coloring that in with watercolors
and then adding the line art and
finishing touches to it
so i won't go through all of the
techniques that i've used
in this drawing in this video because
i have tutorial videos on that
and i'm hoping that in the future i can
have a video kind of like this
where i will create a new drawing and
the focus will be
on a different part of the drying
process for example
this one focuses on how to draw a
specific pose
in the next video maybe i can focus on
how to draw a specific hairstyle or how
to draw
um skin with different lighting effects
something like that so that's what i'm
hoping to achieve with
this kind of format video and this is
definitely the first one out of
many so i am open to feedback and
suggestions
on how i can best improve this kind of
content for you guys
but the main reason as to why i created
this kind of format
is because i get a lot of comments from
people on my tutorials
asking for more advanced techniques and
the reason why i don't really
want to create a separate tutorial with
just
advanced techniques is because i don't
really
have a lot of advanced techniques other
than the ones that i've already
mentioned so
my advanced techniques are basically me
using
the basic techniques and methods from
the tutorial videos that i've created
and just applying that
differently so as you can see before
when i was talking about the
three-quarter view and how perspective
plays
on one direction left and right which i
showed in the video
in this video i basically just used that
exact
concept or idea onto
perspective in the direction of up and
down
so it's basically just that and i didn't
really want to sound super repetitive
but if you guys don't like this kind of
format let me know as well i wanted to
give this a try and i'm very
much open to feedback and suggestions
and just before i end this video i do
kind of want to give a tip
for the sketching part because since
that is the main focus of this video
i want to give a tip because when i'm
sketching normally
and when it's not for a tutorial video i
tend to leave the pencil
sketch very roughly and very lightly at
the very beginning
so you might have seen me or you might
see me pause
a lot in the video like there's those
mini pauses where my pencil is kind of
just
hovering over the drawing and i'm not
doing anything
and the reason for that is because that
actually allows me to look
at the drawing and see if i like it or
not and usually
i would suggest doing this at the very
end
of i don't know some section of your
process for example once you finish a
sketch you
pause you look at it and then you assess
however
i've noticed recently especially when
i'm viewing my own real-time videos
is that i actually pause a lot
throughout
the sketching process and not just the
sketching process but throughout my
entire process so whether i'm sketching
whether i'm refining the sketch whether
i'm adding colors to it i'm always
pausing all the time and i realize that
that's actually a really good habit to
get into because that allows
me to look at the artwork and
assess as i'm going therefore
i can pick out mistakes before they even
happen i can also pick out mistakes that
are still you know new and fresh and i
can salvage them especially when you're
working with watercolors because they're
not dry
yet so i can immediately see it and i
can actively
take action to fix it so
this is also very helpful when working
with a reference image
i like to see and to check if i've
gotten the likeness correct
or if some parts don't look right and
then i can make adjustments as
i go sometimes when i'm using a
reference i also tend to focus on
one thing at a time when it comes to
sketching for example
if i'm drawing the nose and i'm trying
to get that right then i'm only really
focusing on the nose
however it's not just the nose or it's
not just one part of a face
that captures the likeness it's all of
those unique facial features
that are working together to create that
person's face
so once i've drawn all of the facial
features all together
very roughly i tend to kind of sit back
and then look at it for a little while
and see if everything that i've drawn is
working together
in the way that i am happy with and of
course if i am then i move on to the
next stage
which is usually refining that sketch
making the lines darker
or adding um colors to it
or adding shading to it basically the
next step in my process
however if i'm not happy with it then i
make adjustments accordingly
so i think that that's something to kind
of get used to
and to develop that skill of looking at
your artwork and criticizing it in a way
that you know is healthy
and allows you to improve your drawings
um
as you go as well so not just at the
very end
of the process but also during the
process
and that is it for my video i'm going to
end it there i hope that you guys
like this video and like i said

format

um more advanced techniques in an actual
