    When the "don't" drawing looks better than anything you could ever do...

    It's funny how she is deliberately trying to make a bad example and it still looks good.

    That awkward moment when the “bad” eye looks like something I would draw in 4 hours, and be proud of it

      Nevir202 dont say you cant do anything. Im sure you could anyone could. Ffollow the tutorial. I personally wouldnt even beable to share a tutorial of my work. Shes doing alot here, by sharing this, just follow it, youll see its really not as hard as you would think. I usually go by these tutorials for practice, i would never completely copy an artists work and share it as my own.

      I cant draw the eyes because you need to curve the infront thing (sorry im not good at explaining) and Im not good at drawing nose and lips even hair but i can draw the face shape (Im only 11)

  • @nadined9185
    @nadined9185 5 років тому +3

    The reason I prefer your do’s and don’t’s series over every other artist’s do’s and don’t’s is because your don’t’s are actually realistic to how a beginner would go about drawing it, therefore bringing out what the real mistakes are. Other ones have an exaggerated 4 year old art piece and don’t offer any specific explanation as to why it isn’t the “do” side. ❤️❤️

      "Who the hell draws an eye like that?"

    Hey everyone! Today I am talking about the Do's & Don'ts when drawing eyes. If your drawing does look like the Don't version then don't feel discouraged. I am simply giving my advice on how you can make your drawings even more realistic! If you enjoyed this video remember to like and share it with all your artsy friends 😊💕ALL MATERIALS USED ARE IN THE DESCRIPTION :D

    These 'do's' and 'don't' videos are fantastic - I seem to learn so much more from common errors, than watching a great 'do' video/tutorial .... it really helps to know specifics about what I may be doing wrong and also gives me more confidence in the learning process. You are a fantastic artist, teacher and personality/youtuber! Thanks so much

    @leenb.7936 5 років тому

    I mostly don’t comment because I’m learning a lot and writing something down in the comment section prevents that knowledge to ‘settle’ in my brain (yes, I’m weird but this is one of the more normal things lol) but I just wanted to let you know that you’ve taught me A LOT, even though I’m not quite there that I’m sketching and stuff, I’m growing towards it. For now I only put the things in use colouring-wise (colouring books), you have improved my technique with that as well. So THANK YOU. I’m currently learning and searching so I can buy the right sketching tools for my beginner needs. Although you’ve made it clear that normal pencils and copying paper is fine for now I just want to know more before I start. Not that just watching this will give me talent but still, I might prevent some of the ‘don’t’ parts
