Drawing a realistic skull just to get the positioning of facial features correct feels like when SpongeBob drew a realistic face in order to reverse engineer it into a perfect circle.
@@jdos5643Sure, that's why we have one tube in our throat that is used for eating, drinking, and breathing. So wonderfully designed that we as a species regularly choke on food cause it goes down the wrong exit chamber.
You need to get better resources because it seems like you are wasting your time and not making any progress. This should be learned in a month at the most. At a better level. Newmastersacademy for example could help you
Also, just a small tip, if you feel like the ears you drew are too small The ear is as tall as the distance between tip of the nose and the eyebrows. This helped me so much because everytime i drew a face the ears would be too small. Hope this help others❤
I feel you've described the *average* ears, bc not all are created equal! I find everyone's ears begin and end in different spots (taking mental notes makes it easier to determine if someone is the same person as an older photo of them, or just a slightly different angle... or someone who looks very much like them but is possibly impersonating them!) The technique is a forensic trick, and it helps if you have known photos of the subject at different angles, and different years/decades. Looking straight at the face, take note where top of ear aligns-- bushy part of eyebrow? Outer corner of eye? Lowest point of lower eyelid? Then do the same, noting where earlobe corresponds-- many go just to dark part of nostril; others go all the way to lowest portion of lower lip. Think of the guy whose ears you noticed while watching an interview or TV show. I've often commented "Look how BIG his ears are!!" Other times, someone's ears will look like little dried apricots! On a large guy, it will be startling, but still acceptable, of course. Because God don't make mistakes!!♡ Point is, all NOSES, MOUTHS, HAIRLINES, TEETH, EARS, etc, are unique. One size does not fit all! Start noticing and comparing, you'll see what I mean.
@@youresoakinginit2113of course, everyone knows not every ear is the same. I'm just saying a tip I learned after starting anatomy classes. This is just something to help someone get a base to understand ear placement, since an average ear would be at that length. What you said is right, but that comes in the next level. After understanding the base, people can truly explore and understand more on other types of ears.
I really struggle with side profiles so this video is really helpful. I like how you break down specific parts, rather than just showing the drawing with no explanation.
As a (failed) 3D artist, this actually helps ! Sometimes (often ?) books are showing too much and the content is too overwhelming to process, but this very simple method of showing very basic thickness of what's above the bones is quite helpful, especially for the skull and throat (not that sure for the limbs and other stuff which is actually easier, not sure why though). So thanks for the video, will definitely put this one in my anatomical knowledge playlist.
What’s really cool is mammals protect the orbitals and teeth my moving as much flesh and muscle in front of those places when aggression is displayed. The face we picture as someone angry or aggressive comes from this(mouth and lips drawn tight and eyebrows lowered) horses do it too by protecting their ears eyes and teeth (ears flat back and upper lip lowered down over their teeth and eyes squinted or rolled away)
It's giving: "First, i draw this head, erase some of the more detailed features, and 1, 2, 3-a *circle*, eh, thing." But seriously though, this was very helpful with envisioning the anatomy underneath the skin and muscles and why the steucture of the head is such. Super informative, thank you!
Thank you!! I'm an illustrator, and my mom asked me last year if I could teach her how to draw, and technically, I can. But what I struggle to help her do is visualize and understand. This is so simple and clear that I think it may help it click!
it's because unconsciously our brains know this information and understand that that's how a human should look, so when they add the line your brain starts connecting things together without you really thinking about it
As someone who doesn’t draw , i found this interesting, and as such: i got value from this content. Here’s my comment and i left a complementary like too for your soothing voice.
As an artist, i love these little art and drawing tips about bone structure because I can’t afford and don’t want to have to take an anatomy class and this gives me a basic understanding of mistakes I could be making
Oh, okay, now I get it. Next time to draw someone's head I'll draw a perfect skull first and then just add some skin on top, can't believe that it took me so many years to find out! Thank you very much!!!
It's videos like this that do make it clear why it's been so important for artists to learn, know and draw anatomy, and skeletal representations. It really helps you know why facial features are where they are
Yes please in every single way, i immediately as an artist wanna pull out my sketchbook and start my own little version of what you’ve done in the video and it’s very greatly appreciated.
I've heard some people feel uncomfortable seeing images like this because bones and muscle tissue is not supposed to be outside of the body so our brains might ring alarm bells that something is wrong even if it's just a picture.
Thanks i was training to be an EMT in the early 00's but never completed my training. one of the learning shifts we worked at Ben Taub hospital and the paramedics brought in this guy from a motorcycle wreck. his body looked liked a person's reflection in one of those wavy funhouse mirrors bless his heart. he made a sound when they rolled him over at the scene so they had to perform CPR on him from the scene all the dang way to the ER literally pumping on his chest the entire way even though they had to put a plastic bag around his head to keep the brains from leaking everywhere. Anyway, he had a triangular avulsion on the back of his head about 6 to 8 inches per side of the flap and we got to palpate under that avulsed area . under the flap his head was almost still hot but what really surprised me was how thick the skin was!! It was like almost a dang inch thick!! I had no idea! Anyhoo ur drawing tutorial reminded my of that poor souls avulsed skin flap. love u bye thanks
Okay, this video just made me realize things about my body I didn't notice before. Now it will pop on my head on the most random days and make me question reality. Thanks, loved the video ❤
Im an artist and man this is practice I still need today. Helpful tip- draw a face over the print of skeletons in deffrent positions/expressions- helpful for sculpture structure too!
Wow, the space between the teeth and the lips really started making sense, but it was a foundation for the whole chin and throat. That makes so much sense
The skull is not right though. What bothers me is especially the middle section of the face part and that it's not in the right proportions. (this is just my personal opinion, because I've looked at a lot of skulls and ortho xrays, because I am a dentist.. Not that I could draw a better picture)
Since each skull is different, anatomically, the skull here is perfectly fine since we only have general proportions. What he is saying/showing is very worthwhile and simplifies drawing a profile.
That's what practice is for. I couldn't even draw a heart when I was 3 years old. I had to keep working on it. I wound up with an entire notebook scribbled with oblong circles until I got it right.
I've been doing art for a long time, and I'm actually now in an art magnet school for art. This helped me a lot and I even showed it to my teacher and she loved it. Thank you❤
Actually very interesting. I’ve been getting back into drawing, I’ve been drawing more cartoon style than realism but mainly because I struggle with realism.
At high school I loved drawing anatomy. I genuinely thought I could draw the chambers of the heart better than anyone else….i can’t explain why I enjoyed it…
I don’t draw or anything but this is a good note to understand why the human looks the way it does thank you for a very simplified look into how we sit on our skeletons
I am not an artist, but I really like your content and the way you deliver your info.
Thanks.
same
You are an artist. You can implement this new knowledge in many more ways besides paper.
Same here.
Also hi from Germany :D

I was bouta comment the same thing lol
Was I the only one that touched the bridge of my nose when he was explaining this?
No, I did too.
Me too
Immediately did that
Back of my head too
Was about too

Beat me to it
The human head design the work of Gods hand

Crazy shout
I was thinking the same fuckin thing lol!
I've never had something explained to me with a voice so calm. Wow, i didn't even know that's possible
You make things that appear difficult so doable. Thankyou for your teaching.
Everything is doable Pat. The end result is the only thing in question.
I always get stuck on how to outline the face after I finish sketching the photorealistic skull base.
That’s because he is skilled. What he did perfectly is difficult
Things are only as hard as you make them. If you remove you as a barrier then everything becomes easy😊
Tip noted, draw an exceptionally detailed skull everytime I draw a head
Yeah, I don't have any skull paper I can do an overlay on. Lol Fresh out!
Like spongebob drawing a circle
@@TheDoomSlayer_666 well that's the only way to do it
why does this remind me of that one SpongeBob episode
@@TheDoomSlayer_666that's exactly what I thought.
This was so relaxing to hear. I guess it's time to get back to drawing. Thank you for the peace and inspiration.
this was so well done! so quick and simple, only a pro could do this so concisely
It seems obvious when illustrated like this, but a lot of artists never consider this when drawing human heads. Very helpful guide! 👍
Didn't think I'd see useful content in my shorts feed, let alone YOU
i love the matter-of-fact way you speak. idk why, it’s just so calming
I know right, it's like the voices in my head
You show your information clearly and your voice is clear and calm. Very good video!
As a self taught artist, this was the most informative bit of info I’ve learned about the subject in my 40 years of drawing and painting. Thank you!
You need to get better resources because it seems like you are wasting your time and not making any progress. This should be learned in a month at the most. At a better level. Newmastersacademy for example could help you
Shocked and in awe at how easily you drew that ear with so few lines
It was incredible
Practice.
Also, just a small tip, if you feel like the ears you drew are too small
The ear is as tall as the distance between tip of the nose and the eyebrows. This helped me so much because everytime i drew a face the ears would be too small. Hope this help others❤

I love this. The perspective helps me understand how they make molds of what people looked like just from their skull!
these are the kinds of tips i need as a beginner artist! thanks for explaining this so simply. truly appreciate it!
I really struggle with side profiles so this video is really helpful. I like how you break down specific parts, rather than just showing the drawing with no explanation.
Nice
Tjis guy's voice is so calming and soothing, he should do voice narration for audiobooks...
i always type j instead of h accidentally, and this is the first time that i've seen someone else do that, and it just made me really happy :)
Yeah, his voice is really calm and soothing, just like Bob Ross's.
I got value from this content. Knowing it and seeing it is very different. Thank you.
Nice bit of info. Also helps to be able to visualize the skull when you are drawing a head
The seemingly effortless tracing of that drawing is INSANE
I'm an artist and your tutorials are very helpful
Thank you!

I enjoy how you explained it all and the art work was the icing on the cake.
It makes sense that there’s that much space between the lips and the teeth, but I’d literally never thought about it before. Thanks for the heads-up!

It's actually quite informative to see the face structure drawing being put on the bone structure. Interesting.
You're the kind of art teacher that's needed desperately 💕
Thank you!! I'm an illustrator, and my mom asked me last year if I could teach her how to draw, and technically, I can. But what I struggle to help her do is visualize and understand. This is so simple and clear that I think it may help it click!
it’s so wild how one single line brings so much life to a piece. I could never understand how artists can do that.
A lot of it is breaking down what we see into smaller shapes. I don't know if that helps, but wanted to pass on just in case.
Hehe... bringing life to the skeleton drawing...
it's because unconsciously our brains know this information and understand that that's how a human should look, so when they add the line your brain starts connecting things together without you really thinking about it
@@megsmileyface6202 smaller and or simpler
I'm an upcoming artist and this was more helpful to me than you would think, thank you
I like how this dude talks so soothing
Nothing is obvious to those of us who can't draw. Thank you.
Nothing is obvious to those that don’t need to draw around skulls either.

Thank you!
@@markliamsmithMan, but what about jawline? It must mean tha5 the space under the chin can differ among peoole right?
Oh, okay, now I get it. Next time to draw someone's head I'll draw a perfect skull first and then just add some skin on top, can't believe that it took me so many years to find out! Thank you very much!!!
Trace it.
Sheesh, these people really need others to give them fish.
It's actually not particularly accurate, at least in the maxillary (upper jaw) area - it's set far too back/flat. But skulls vary!
Spongebob ahh artistry
You can print some and them add the face as practice.
Very helpful. And it makes me less self-conscious about my skin between my chin and my neck.
I have been distant from my art recently, this reminded me to get back thank you
It's videos like this that do make it clear why it's been so important for artists to learn, know and draw anatomy, and skeletal representations. It really helps you know why facial features are where they are
I honestly just like stockpiling these anatomy/drawing advice videos despite not even being an artist. Thank you for the information!
This looks like a really cool art style, sick work🩵
Mind Blown! This is such important information for artists, but I've never seen this type of info presented.
This is sweet. So much easier to visualise with the actual skull underneath. Thank you.
Super cool. Made me feel good to know the front of the neck isn't so close to the spine!
Dude what
have people just never touched their own necks
@@safinhh8312have people not heard of a joke
I was aware of the shape, but I've never seen an outline like this! It's super helpful, thanks!!😄
Wow, you drew and explained this so well!
Yes please in every single way, i immediately as an artist wanna pull out my sketchbook and start my own little version of what you’ve done in the video and it’s very greatly appreciated.
That's awesome! Remember to do it multiple times to really solidify the practice. That's what I'm gonna do!
Why does anatomy always give me tingles where ever im looking at

As someone who doesn't draw but wants to try it, i can say that was smooooth af
Awesome love these highly informative for a artist that struggles with proportions.
So green with envy, but fo you realize that you make it look easier than it is for some of us without your talent?
I love all your drawing tips
If by talent you means years of dedicated practice and perseverance.
That's what practice is for. I couldn't even draw a heart when I was 3 years old. I had to keep working on it. I wound up with an entire notebook scribbled with oblong circles until I got it right.
I really love your videos. I’m actually trying to learn watercolor, but, I realized
I should learn how to draw first!😅

Good to think about. Glad for the instruction!
"so start with a sketch..."
*draws a skull*
This makes so much sense!! Thank you
I'm no artist, but seeing someone get anatomy correct is beautiful.
The skull is the art here. Beauty.
At high school I loved drawing anatomy. I genuinely thought I could draw the chambers of the heart better than anyone else….i can’t explain why I enjoyed it…
So much talent! 🎉
This is actually so interesting. Learned something new!
It’s always nice to have a reminder :) thanks for posting! Subscribed!
Thankyou for this very well formed video. It was simple, easy to understand and i actually learned alot. Cheers to art and anatomy
Incredibly succinct. Thank you
I did a drawing similar in art school! Def used to drawing anatomy. It’s Nice hearing it from another artist !
The value i received from this video was the fact that you taught me quite a few things
It's so interesting to flesh out a skeleton, especially the skull.
Something tells me that the skull was your work too. Nice work!
Thanks for helping make those connections
This is really helpful, thank you, I’ve always had trouble with the side profile and this looks like a really good exercise to get better at anatomy
