    It’s so nice to see artists as practiced as Sam struggle in the same ways I do sometimes with faces. It helps you to realize that “failure” as Sam calls it, is normal and even good at times to help you grow. It makes my own failures feel less detrimental to my art journey

    12:45 - When I started doing more anatomy practice with muscular men, I found that drawing action stars works very well for that! Actors such as Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren were my main references for muscular male bodies because they are two of my absolute favorite actors. I don't think I would have learned the anatomy as well as I did if I had not drawn guys I really liked.

    I’m so happy you’ve shared this with us-I’ve been in an artblock for months now and it’s been so draining, I’ve tried atleast a doodle each week, but what was throwing me off each time was my faces. And I’ve been wondering how will I learn to draw them better, and this video has helped tons already.

    This was so so so helpful. I love that you focused on giving your followers specific strategies that they can apply to their own studies and drawings to create an individualized plan for themselves. In hearing how you were able to assess your drawings and make a plan for improvement helps me a lot because I often just blindly start over and "hope" the next one looks better. So I like the amount of time you gave to the importance of intention. Thank you for posting this amazing video.

This video reminded me to be loose with my art, not getting bogged down on every detail. I’ve now created a piece which I actually like and had fun creating and only in 10 mins too.

    This is great, amazing work! These are continuous line drawings btw, a contour drawing is when you usually only draw the outline (the contour) of an object but more importantly this done while not looking down at the page. You “scan / trace” the contour with your eyes and blindly move your hand at the same time, drawing the same part you’re looking at, without looking at your page. It’s really cool to do, you’ll surprise yourself!

    @celticmanga 2 місяці тому +1

    Something Sam does here (that's not really explained at all, especially to newer artists) is really important to understand if you're a beginner:
    Sketch like a painter. Don't fill, indixcate.
    Let me explain: He almost never fills in every single line for every single feature, detail, etc. Rather, he *indicates* these details and leaves gaps in the lines, or variance in the lines, or different levels of thick and thin in said lines. All of this for the face, eyes, nose, shape of the face, the hair, everything. You need gaps and variance, it's important. The shading works the same way, Different levels of dark in the shading, sometimes it's ultra light or ultra dark. It's how you get things to look natural and not "forced".
    Hope this helps!
