me: [draws two drawings of the same character] wHY DO THEY LOOK SO DIFFERENT
emily chen I understand this pain
The struggle is real
THE REALIST THING
Your not alone 😂
HHH SAME ;U;
"Why does no body ever talk about same body syndrome?"
Me: I HAVE THAT. I HAVNT HEARD OF IT BEFORE BUT I HAVE IT.
i have it too
Same. Also if that exists I probably do same gender syndrome lol, I only ever draw girls and if it's a boy character I'm drawing a portrait
The day I watched this, I finally started drawing Alphys (Look it up, she's s cute lil midget from Undertale) kinda chubby like she is in the actual game instead of like frickin Marceline
@@teresedaigle7336 Oof. I commented on the same video on the same day with both my parents accounts.
@I'm a UwU monster I think the only advice I have is to stop drawing so many FNaF characters. Literally all the animatronics have similar features, with only a few exceptions like Balloon Boy, or the Toys, or the Puppet. Study pictures and try to replicate them. Only things I can think of - I kinda have it myself, only it's reserved for the boys. I guess it says something about how I see men.
I have the exact opposite of this syndrome lmao XD everytime i try to draw the same character or twins they always look so different ;-;
Try to take a big sheet of paper and draw again and again the character, and locate where you have difficulties to recreate! If it's the eyes, make references or change the shape to be simplier or more recognizable. Having sketches of your character around your sketch helps, so you will spy on the other sketches and recreate what makes the character.
If you know you're going to draw again and again this character, it's better to do something like this to register a unique way to draw them instead of going in every direction.
Twins dont have to be identical
Cookies an' Lemonade o
Cookies an' Lemonade but they want them to be so that you can easily tell their twins
Cookies an’ lemonade
Yes, not all twins are identical, I support your comment. But even siblings that were born 8 years apart should look similar.
Here’s a tip:
If you’re still struggling with same face syndrome
Start with changing the eye shape, then the nose shape, then lastly the mouth shape. Those first steps will help so much.
And if after those three changes, if it still look to similar; change the less noticeable facial features. It will really help.
Pretty sure you just described 90% of the human face, but ok cool.
Face shape is also just as important (Jawline, hairline, cheeks etc)
Yes
I make a character face based on his/her past, Examples:
The OC had a fight, make it look like a gangster maybe with some piercing (but not like JoJo 5 😂)
The OC has a quite life, make it look like a gentleman idk with hair like Yoshikage Kira (Idk how to say it lol)
Me who doesn't draw noses:
*nani*
*all around me are familiar faces* ,
OMG XD
Shadowtrollswords well this explains it!
Omg! What's the name of that song again? XD that comment was perfect for this vid XD

I'm on the opposite side where every face I make is different and unique but I struggle with comics and recreating the same thing .
Medicated Waifu maybe making simple faces and then add details to them after could help :/
Try making these body shape out of well shapes! That kinda helped for me
i always draw different eye shapes even when im drawing the same oc
I can relate
I used to do that but now i try to do the same eye shape whenever i draw my main oc and a different one for my other oc i also try to do different body types and face shapes
@@komahinacanon526 Okay, but I was specifically refering to the 'other eye' which most artists struggle with and how I have a very unsteady hand. I respect your input regardless.
Or something I'm not one of those people who put a block of text in the comments.

the ultimate same face syndrome: south park
EmoHairAnimations I love that art style I fuse it with the Powerpuff girls style all the time.
The only one who doesn't suffer from it is Cartman because he is a fatass. I understand it though because of how simple the style is.
Yet the characters are instantly recognisable due to their colour scheme.
*gasps*
EmoHairAnimations Haha I instantly thought of South Park when she mentioned same face syndrome in media.
Just do it like they do it in the animes and give everyone a different hairstyle instead.
SylenDraws That limits giving 1 character different hair styles.
Ahem....*coughs* Love Live!*coughs*
Sylen, every time I scroll down to see the comments of art videos I see you.
SylenDraws not all animes have similar faces with different hair styles... ;-;
Angel999Girl The girls in LL! are more realistic
All the girls are Japanese and aren't from other countries,so it's normal they have similar faces.The only exception could be Mari.
My problem is drawing different faces when I intend to draw the same face (like filling up a page with the same character and making their face too different)
Kitkat Bubble , oh my gosh same!
YES
Exactly!
Relatable AF
drawing characters inconsistently
just try to draw them many times to a look you remember them by, or you could count how many noticeable eyelashes they have or remembering the distance of their eyes. theres many ways on how to draw a character consistantly
*shows repunzel, anna, and elsa*
"Now two of these are related--"
*repunzel-elsa-sisters theory intensifies*
its not a theory,, disney confirmed it
Peeble Kitty lol😂😂😂
Peeble Kitty i know right lol
Lmao
You are making me triggered because you misspelled Rapunzel.
Anime is the biggest offender of same face and same body syndrome, a lot of anime characters, girls in particular, have the same body shape just with a change in height and chest size, and so many anime girls have the same base for their face. I think the one thing you didn’t really touch on (you drew but don’t say much about it) is face shape, because I know from my experience I used to use the same exact face shape for every character and it did take me a while to break that habit
Most animes are, but some are really distinct in facial features. Michiko and Hatchin is really good, especially since it also covers diversity in ethnic ways as well. Just avoid shows that pander to weebs and you can generally find good examples of a less-appriciated art style actually having decent faces.
Yeah great point, though the same about it, also ears can make a huge difference
The first thing I thought of was "Dragon Ball Z" but I haven't watched that show in literal years and I don't watch anime anyway.
Bnha is a good example of different faces. You can compare Momo's face to Uraraka's face and know exactly who's who.
Uhh.... Well, Boku no Hero Academia has some pretty different faces. Maybe you can start by changing the eye shape and the iris shape? I started studying the BNHA art style and I've learned alot from it.
The set of faces at the end:
1st row: Drama/Comedy Tv show
2cnd Row: Horror/action film
3rd row: people who could be found in a hospital
Camryn Garcia 3rd row is me lol
Soul Eater is the opposite, it's amazing. It's as if every character were drawn in a completely different style. The face shapes, the eyes, the hair. Everything.
Y E S
I WAS JUST THINKING OF THIS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
The one anime that doesn't look like a commonly used base
That’s why Soul Eater is my favourite anime-
yep it has an amazing way of making every character unique and still looks amazing and interesting
Do you have any advice on giving characters unique clothing?
It’s something I struggle with when designing characters and they all end up having bland stuff, which sometimes doesn’t even make sense to the story or the character them self.
Just add a little "something" to their clothes. What I usually do to add pizazz to my clothing is things like tears or stitches/patches, ect. Sometimes it can be as simple as a cute design or something. Depending on who (or what) you want your character to be, give them clothing that reflects their personality. Give them a hoodie if they should be reclusive and introverted, or a tank top or something extravagant if they're outgoing.
Idk, this is just some random advice from a girl on the interwebs. Hope this helped, though.
@@robynnhoud Axolotl!!! 😛
Look on Insta, Tumblr etc.... All the fashion girls and boys.
Yea, look at HEAPS of different clothing on characters. Draw your own characters, and then draw different clothing on them each time. Do an intensive week long practice on clothing.
Textures and maybe try exotics clothing’s? Like robes or a really big sweater dress? Idk
THE INTRO IS SO AMAZING AND CUTE !
What if your faces are just two dots and a straight line?

WHY ARE YOU

A really good way i found to see if your characters look too similar is to take out your Switch and make Miis of them. If you're having to reuse the same parts too many times you'll know. Not just that by the way, the Mii maker is a really good tool to make characters in general! I was playing Miitopia switch, decided to make a bunch of OCs on the spot to be the ten main heroes, and those guys turned out to be the most diverse looking group of designs I've ever made! I totally recommend trying it out.
what if I don't have switch
@@The_OriX_LoL maybe try doing some picrews?
@@The_OriX_LoLDo you have other Nintendo things?
@@XD-yn6hb No?
I think the reason why the female characters in some older Disney films look so different is because those films were stylized. A big issue I have with Disney is their lack of stylization. They used to be more daring with art direction and how their worlds looked, but now they seem to make all of their worlds (at least for princess movies) look the same. I agree that that is due to brand recognition. However, Disney is playing it safe: I respect studios more for taking big risks rather than creating vanilla or cookie-cutter aesthetics to guarantee more profit.
Cartoon Network has fallen prey to this too; many of their current shows look very similar and resist interesting art choices. I grew up with Ed, Edd and Eddy, Teen Titans, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. They all have distinct art styles. This isn't just an issue of today's animation industry; even earlier on we had Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo and PowerPuff Girls. To me, their art looked pretty similar. I don't know about back then, but I know that today, many of the people behind the shows on Cartoon Network worked on the same projects together, so perhaps they ended up being influenced by each others' work.
I hope that animation networks (and other places with character art) recognize the value in choosing an interesting artistic look.
Adventures with Sam as long as it doesn't create a monstrosity like The Problem Solverz I'm all for it
alexandra galici
I agree, all CGI Disney/Pixar films sort of blur together visually. Could anyone tell a human extra from Finding Dory apart from the extras in Big Hero 6? There used to be so much more variety in art styles when Disney still did 2D movies.
With that said, I think that there is still some variety in the faces... ....of the male characters. My big gripe with it is how Disney has a pretty big double standard for male and female characters, Hans, Kristoff, Flynn and Maui look nothing alike, yet Anna, Elsa, Rapunzel and Moana all have the same face with only slight modifications. As for the Disney Princess branding, there are a dozen things way more iconic than the face shape used to mark them as Disney Princesses, such as pastel ballgowns, animal friends and cutesy song numbers etcetera.
have you ever seen the concept art for elsa? especially when it was more early, less set in stone? it’s so expressive and beautiful imo, reminds me of something like the Emperor’s New Groove or Aladdin with how much personality they had.
… and then of course the final product for elsa is a plastic doll fit for the merchapocalypse after the release.
alexandra galici
Exactly! I thought Frozen looked ugly, not only do Anna/Elsa look like generic dolls, but there were several obvious animation mistakes as well as rather simple and unfinished looking aesthetics, such as their dresses looked like they were made from spandex with no wrinkles, and most of the snow looked more like melting rubber than real snow, and they turned trolls, fearsome creatures not to be trusted in Scandinavian folklore, and turned them into cutesy troll-dolls. Plus they reduced the Sami, an indigenous culture with a rich and complex history, and reduced them to uncultured slobs for the sake of laughs with Kristoffs character.
Ok ok, I pressed "show more" and got assaulted WHY IS THERE AN ARTICLE HERE THIS IS UA-cam NOT FRICKIN WATTPAD HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO READ ALL THIS?!?!
Edit: I read it. I read it and now im sad. But hey, you can always rewatch coraline! That thing scarred me as a child
For me, I've always associated "same face syndrome" as an introduction to "same character syndrome", because you might not notice characters having the same face if they have wildly different bodies, but have the same body and it doesn't matter what the face looks like- they look too similar. It all ties back to making your characters distinct from each other, which is a basic character development thing that I feel like your videos really help with, so thank you LavenderTowne!
Thank you for mentioning same body syndrome. That's been bothering me for some time now. I think muscle memory began to take over a little too much after I switched to anime style, and I've been trying to push myself back out of it over the last couple of years.
I used to worry a lot about same face syndrome, and I think I do kinda fall into that trap here and there, but most of the time I choose different facial features for different characters, even if they're already existing characters. For instance, in some fan art I've drawn of Hotaru from Sailor Moon and Sasami from Tenchi Universe, I gave them different jaw lines, different muscular build (slightly)., and different eyebrows (as well as different eyes and hair, of course). I think I even drew their ears differently, too.
I feel like I still have a lot of room to grow as far as same-face goes.
I've noticed that male characters, especially in shounen, often have wildly different facial features (the fewer appearances the character makes, the wilder), but in shoujo (at least for slightly older titles) the female characters are way too similar (think of Sailor Moon), and just about the only exceptions are the rarely-appearing characters (like villains). I kind of try to aim somewhere in between the two myself, for whatever that's worth.
I need help
I never draw the same faces again
Which is a bad thing because most of the time I made a good face for a character but I can’t draw it ever again
Anyone have tips for drawing the same face for a specific character?
Sakari's Edits I don’t know but I guess maybe trying to draw each characteristic separately until you remember? Just so that you get the hang of it and then draw them together. Honestly I am no expert, but I feel that might help.
take a piece of tracing paper, and trace their face 20-40 times. then try drawing the face on a piece of regular paper
Draw them over and over and over again..
Maybe..
Sakareeh
First, make a character design sheet. Heavily reference it so you understand the way the shapes curve, how sharp the facial features are and other shapes and figures. Soon you will be able to draw it without reference, and if you’re still not able to, keep trying! Switch things up a little, move out of your comfort zone! Good luck.
Sakareeh look at the face design get a spare peice of paper and draw its head and lightly experiment, trying to match with its personality (depending on what it is it can vary) and design it so you have other emotions, it works with most of my ones (except Echo and Aqua because their my main ones)
Edit: I am no artist, just my tips that help
That animated intro is so cute! ❤ keep it up hon!
My characters have similar face features becouse its a important story plot point, but when i draw my other characters i do go straith for the same face shape, its hard to draw different faces but, it is avoidable
Edit : Where the hell did these likes come from?
True
they all siblings? lol
*because
*straight
+ShinyShilla something like that
+Gidget Claws thank you for your correction
My problem is that all of my faces are different... My style is really complicated so when I draw the same character twice, it's extremely difficult to draw the same face twice.
Diana Turner well that is supposed to be a good thing then
Try and pick out a trait on their face that's most standout and make sure on every drawing of them you can see them

"... not allow myself to make their faces different by their eyes."

That's cheating!
Yup this used to be me emo hair big eye's and weird cat face's don't you just love childhood art T^T
yes, also me. in 5th grade.
stormie Pegasus yep....only an edgy teen could love this kind of art...*gags a little*
It just fits _so nicely_ on the cat
i guess it depends on what the cast looks like
if its kinda like "Happy tree friends" then i guess its not that bad, but if its a game like "Mario bros" then a character might need to look different and recognisable
Sugarlad the Cryo hehe, happy tree friends lol
I didn't think I'd take anything away from this video because I've practiced a lot to make my faces look different from each other but after watching it I still feel I learned something and the exercise you suggest at the end seems really fun! Great video!!
I don't make my faces all that different, but I usually give my characters defining traits. Such as with my characters, Alexis (Which is basically my self-sona, and looks pretty much like me, and has the same name as me, lol) and Mimi, Mimi's defining traits are blue and orange multi-colored eyes, a "Kitty" mouth, and fangs. Other than that the faces are pretty much the same, and even their hair is basically the same, so you can't tell them apart by hair. Except the whole cat ear thing, you can definitely tell them apart there. Oh and Alexis wears eye makeup while Mimi doesn't. That's another thing. So yeah, the main 2 characters that I draw have enough distinct differences that you can tell them apart. I may draw the faces pretty similar, but not similar enough that you can't distinguish them.
I don't have this problem AT ALL, however, I do sometimes have problems w/ poses...
Like sometimes I'll draw the same pose such as a piece sign.
Also, I think this video is very useful for beginners that have this problem, and can very well help people fix it.
You get an A+++-+ UwU lmao
Why do some people think you are evil HOW CAN YOU YOOUU BE EVIL??!!

This comment shows that MEME THEORY rules are true.
1. If there is a reference the adience thinks is funny, people *spam* it in the comments like there is no tomorrow.. thinking it's still fresh.
I have same face syndrome but it’s because of my character’s origin. The character’s traits got split so they have the same face but you can tell because of their personality and clothes.
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!!! I was sufferingfrom this but i didn't know, until i realized today. Luckily a vid was already set for me! And oh boy when i looked at the thumbnail was ur art!!! Thx so much Lavender!!!

Film Theory: *I think n o t*
Hi Lavendertowne, I’m an 11 year old wishing to be an artist when I get older! And I was actually wondering, when I draw my faces, I just draw different types of noses and eyelashes on the eyes. Is that ok? Or should I try more out of my comfort zone, and try something new?
P.s. I love your work! You’re my inspiration :3
Mr. Oscar thank you so much! I really appreciate the reply and advice!
Izzy Bizzy2468 I'm another 11 year old artist, you might want to try changing the proportions a bit. (Some have bigger mouths, some might have smaller ears.)
Always push out of your comfort zone. That's how you improve !
Zac Draws Stuff Thank you for the advice!
Try different shapes to base your faces off! Start with a triangle or a circle (any shape really) and place the facial features on. Just experiment a lot with the spacing of the facial features on the face too. I hope this helps.
Try telling this to a Tumblr artist... XDD
“ *iTSS JooSt mAh stYle u UnnCulTErEd SweEEn!1!!1!* “
Or like 50% of the people in Deviantart
I would say to leave them be since its Their art and stuff
Ok so I have something to say about the uh Disney one. A lot of people say that they are cousins, due to Rapunzel showing up slightly in the first movie aswell as both movies (first frozen and the rupunzel one) happen in very close timelines. Meaning they look the same because they are possibly related :)
I’m trying to avoid the same face syndrome but It’s hard...
I can't really draw people, so I stick to just writing people and drawing the bizarre cartooney characters.
Why did the first art of an girl looked like Melanie Martinez's.
not really- 😳
That face exercise would be a good way to create families that are still distinct from each other. I'm gonna steal that. :P
The left most column: Oldest sibling; might have been in juvie as a teen, now trying to turn his life around, probably mid-late 20s. Youngest sibling, probably early teens, scar is the result of bullying; also the cause of his more worried expression. Middle sibling, somewhat rebellious with the piercing, but not as actively rebellious as his older sibling, late teens or early 20s.
Left middle column: Youngest sibling, looks fairly naive and eager to see/learn about the world, late teens-early 20s. Oldest sibling or twin with third face, feels like a more masculine woman, the 'dad' of the group who's over protective of her younger sibling(s) usually via fists for the significantly flattened nose. Middle sibling or twin with second face, bookworm for sure, either a really nasty paper cut across the lip or got a book to the face, flattening her nose some and cutting her lip.
Right middle column: Monster family! Daughter, Father, Mother.
Right most column: The wise old triplets
The bodies I draw are usually same-ish, but that’s because I try to maintain a more realistic body type. I draw more like anime than western cartoons in general when it comes to bodies. I can add variation where it’s possible, but I can’t make a character have extremely large hips, breasts, or basically anything because it doesn’t suit the surroundings and detail level. If I make a character with large hips, it’s probably a character who’s overweight in general, everywhere on the body.
what do you mean by ‘it doesnt suit the surroundings or detail level’?
large hips don’t necessarily mean overweight. people can have pear shaped bodies.
Alright, to answer some people :
1. I don’t use anime as a reference. LavenderTowne just makes a lot of references to the difference between anime and western animation, so I used that as a way to say “I don’t draw things with the same level of stylistic choices as her”
2. I know skinny girls can have large hips, or breasts. People carry weight differently, plus people can have certain bone structures
3. I meant that a person’s body doesn’t fit the surrounding if I plonked Planchette into my style. Not to say any body doesn’t “exist” in my surroundings, rather that I don’t have the room to do extreme body exaggeration. I live in NYC, I see the different bodies all the time. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every body type possible. What I meant is that I can’t do *extreme body exaggeration*.
ahh the intro!! I love it
One of my favorite animators is so powerful that I can recognize the characters they draw by the eyes alone, I’m jealous
I'm shocked you really didn't mention CalARTs. Thats good though
I didn’t even get a notification.
+LexIsAwkward blame it on UA-cam
;~; I've been doing this my whole life.

Does anyone have any tips on how to differentiate facial features enough to make different looking characters, but still have them look related??
I'm working on some OCs, and they're all sisters, but I don't want them to look too similar, but I don't want them to be carbon copies of each other either
Hailey maybe you could give one a birthmark or something? Or try to use slightly different shapes for the eyes and mouth
Maybe start with a similar face and make tweaks from there (a smaller mouth here, different eyes there)?
Or try playing with all the different combinations of their parents' features?
I usually start with shapes of head and the noses, what shape I choose is based on personality.
Hailey its okay if none of them look the same siblings. Will never look like one another they'll favor one another but they shouldn't look the same.😊
Repeat some features, but not all of them. Or draw the parents and make different combinations of their features.
MatPat? Come here for a second...
Me, who's art style includes for dot eyes and line mouths: *slowly backs away*
The first one on the second row reminds me of Matt Holt from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Oh, quiznak. Who ever put that in their name, I got your reference. If it was even a reference.
I used to think I had to have the same face proportions for my art style to not be all over the place
The show I'm into currently is South Park...
I pretty sure it doesn't have this issue what so ever.
9:52 3rd row 2nd over, may I just say, THAT PERSON IS BEAUTIFUL! Like, can I just hug you?! They're awesome!
When I first saw this video I already didn't have much confidence in my art, so luckily, I now draw different features on the face for girls and boys, and even then I make there face features different depending on there personalitys like, if there a serious I make there eyes and nose and head shape (ect.) more bold, but if there more naive or nice there face shape eyes (ect.) more soft and circle like.
But that's just how I avoid same face syndrome😅😅😅
@@katiehunnes5136 lol
“Rapunzel isn’t related to them“
Film theory: “We’ll see about that”

I mean Film Theory says otherwise
TheClown FromUA-cam Yes he is. And he is *glorious*
TheClown FromUA-cam THOUGH he uses proper math and science and proper smart

I think same face syndrome is important in animal characters too. I'm not talking about Furries, I'm talking about Warrior cats, Seekers, Survivors, Bravelands. The characters are feral and out in the wild. Its important to make sure your faces aren't the same there because you don't get Hair or Clothes, the most you can have are scars. I struggle with same face syndrome so with all that said and my main drawing point is animals- yea my art isn't very unique
Me: *draws two different characters in the same page* Wtf they look like mirror images
Me: *draws the same character in two separate drawings* WHY DOES THIS ONE LOOK SO DIFFERENT

I have the opposite problem. I can’t get my characters to look consistent.
EARLY NOTIFICATION FAM!
This is so helpful, and also this is just like real life.
We all change are clothes, Hair, etc. but we all still can know who is who because our faces.
Anyways, love your videos so much they always improve my drawing.
Rapunzel isn't related to them
*cough film theory cough*
“Rapunzel isn’t related to them”
*huffs in theory syndrome*
apparently for the test we have, ahona/hyper realistic, gummi/cartoon, and sadako/anime, hachi/i dont even know
I have a friends who does this. She draws SO many OCs but they all look exactly that same. She always draws them at a 3/4 angle, they all have the same hair, they all have the same facial features and facial expressions. She shows me these things and I can never get excited about her work because it all looks the same.
Lavendertowne: 'Problems some or most new artists have.'
Me: *Slowly calculating the fact I don't have a lot of art problems.*
Draw people differently.

Thank you so much for making this video!
I have same hair syndrome
The way I draw eyes and mouths they’re all drawn the same way but they all have a unique flare by add something different to each one depending on the character
I can’t stop drawing the same face.How do I get rid of it.Please help!
Same SOS ;c
Jump out of your comfort zone, try new facial features, or look at how other artist make different faces and tweak it in your own style. Hope this helps :)
try different face shapes, like exaggerated shapes. A face out of a plain square or a hexagon, go wild with it (i kno this sounds kinda dumb, but it helped me, hope this helps :v)
There is a theory that connects all Disney movies to each other...
So Anna and Elsa’s mom and dad where going to the wedding of their niece, Rapunzel... and that became a theory when Rapunzel and Flin Rider came to Elsa coronation! There is also the theory that the ship in the beginning scene of Tarzan is supposedly Elsa and Anna’s mom and dad who actually had a baby boy, who is Elsa and Anna’s brother, and Rapunzels cousin. And in the little mermaid they say the ship she goes into is the ship of Elsa, Anna, and Tarzan’s parents! Also people say that Ariel’s soul in helping Moana because Ariel originally lived in the sea and is somehow connected to it. And reck it Ralph... you might be asking,”That’s a video game movie what that have to do with anything?” Well in one of the scenes in the second one we have baby Moana on her I pad playing the game!
I know there is more that connects more of the Disney movies... but I typed this all on my phone and my fingers hurt. So bye, hope you enjoyed reading the theory!!
