at first: People should understand that there is NO definitive method. The ones crittizing Loomis' method or other methods are forgetting that. Instead we should experiment different methods and approchings, finding in each of them aspects that help us further. This "paper" approach is also very insightful and I will definitely make use of this. Thanks Sinix for sharing his knowledge with us :)

sinix, i really gotta say this, you are such a positive influence on my art - i dont even know how to describe it. a few years back i was really awful at drawing (maybe i still am, idk) but i enjoyed it a lot, until i hit a brick wall, no more motivation, fun, i hated everything i worked on. i found your shiny mech video through some yt recommendations or something and it just gave me that motivation back, that was probably 4 years ago. ever since then ive always been watching your stuff. while i do like your art style, i think the biggest influence youve had on my work was in terms of workflow, finding inspiration and most importantly: enjoying what i do. so thanks for that! and you know, for the genuinely helpful informations about drawing fundamentals. I GUESS. hope that comment wasnt too long and creepy. whoops.

We need more of these kind of tutorials that are not based on rules, like draw a circle OK, now draw a curved line, draw two balls, draw one more curved line. Now that's a face. Do it again over and over. This tutorial essentially relies more on your ability to see, which is what you need to have as an artist.

This seems better than the methods I see splattered across KZread that say "from any angle" but only cover the same 3: profile, side profile, and maybe 3/4 view if they were ambitious. Plus they would only draw adult males. Proko was one exception to the angles part, but it takes so long to obtain any progress.

I like this refreshing method, but I suggest not abandoning Loomis' or Hogarth's methods of drawing faces. These latter methods are about more than "just" the face, but the entire head (which is where the ellipses, that sinix hates :), come in handy). Loomis and Hogarth's approaches provide geometrically informed introductions to concepts like ear placement, lip overbite, and jawline construction.

@Alsyoutubeaccount

Agreed. I love Sinix, but I hope beginners don’t take his authoritative tone too seriously. He made a video where he explained his idea of authority when teaching which totally makes sense, and he is by far one of my favorite teachers on KZread, his perspective is so unique. But admittedly I used to follow a lot of his rules a little too strictly and have realized that things like “never use circles in organic drawings” eliminate a whole world of shape language. Look at the way Vilpuu draws, and I think his work is full of life. “There are no rules, only tools”

A really useful thing to do when first using this technique is legit cut up a piece of paper to reference. I find it more help if it's smaller, more square than regular and you're able to hold the paper in hand so you can draw it with the other.

I've always drawn circles and wondered why my art looks so flat and lifeless!!! but this is so much better! I'm in love with your channel! thankyouuuuuu!

I've never seen this method before. I tried it out, and now I do feel a little more comfortable drawing faces in different angles. Not to mention it was a lot more fun. Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful!

I had watched this video a while ago, thought it was interesting but didn't try it because "I have been drawing heads for 15+ years no problem." Fast forward to this month working on a comic idea I found myself struggling to keep my characters consistant in the style I was trying to achieve. No matter how many studies I did of my references, they would look all wrong. Headaches everywhere, felt like I was hitting a wall. But then I remembered THE PAPER!!! Using this method really helped me iron out those issues I was having. Honestly, I might never go back. Thank you Sinix for being an amazing teacher and sharing this with us!

I literally just started crying because I've avoided drawing for about 5 years because I couldn't improve on basic straight angled faces and bodies. I got frustrated that even though I enjoy art I want to be GOOD at it and being stuck drawing the same thing over and over made me discouraged. I dunno what possessed me to search this topic today and click on your video but... everything just clicked for me. The second you showed us the paper masks. I got it. Immediately. It's like my brain just needed the right teacher!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I can finally move on from the place I've been haunted by for HALF A DECADE!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I'm writing my first ever youtube comment because I needed to say it--this changed my life. I've struggled for years with this, and suddenly after a few days, I can draw angles I'd never managed before. I can't thank you enough for making this, and making it available for free, no less. Cheers!

This simple solution of using a curved sheet of paper as the basis of the head has helped me get past a long standing problem with my drawing skills. Much obliged to you.

This technique has exponentially helped my drawings. In a single day, I see so many improvements by going through the steps and practicing throughout the day. Thank you so much.

This is literally the most useful tutorial I've ever seen in my entire life. Thank you for your contributions to the art community.

*_How to draw Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot_* But for real, nice technique.

That was dark man, "They almost like to look human but they lack chins and stuff like that" I'll use that quote someday. Nice vid too

I've been practicing with the circle methods for so long and getting nowhere. I lost all motivation for drawing. Finding this video gives me a rejuvenated feeling to get my sketch book out and start again. Thank you so much for this video

If you sit down with your sketchbook and watch this video, pause after every step and take 10-15 minutes to practice each step and this turns into the best art lesson you've ever participated in.

That level 4 face from the bottom view is just dope

that was so good

My god I understand face perspective now. I have NEVER understood the other way with drawing circles. It just goes up and over my head. Can't manage it for some reason. So I am SO GLAD I found this.

This video just single-handedly gave me unlimited power, the cosmos of art is right at my hands now. My eyes have been opened... thank you

Currently watching this to reassure myself that I can indeed draw faces, and also because I'm overwhelmed after learning directly that I'm most likely autistic. I'm overwhelmed and this video is helping me to re-regulate. Thank you

Great video ^^ No art teacher has ever said 'no circles' to me before but it clicked with me in a strong, poignant way that I think is really going to help my art. Thank you :D

This video has literally 180 flipped my perspwctive on human faces, I already know most of the anatomy, amd I feel so relieved to actually start making progress on human faces :') thank you

SINIX YOU ARE A FREAKING GENIUS 😦💥

Sometimes I 'forget' how to draw faces a bit (or at least forget the building blocks), and I've often struggled with drawing faces from different/unusual angles such as the worm's eye view. This is seriously a game-changer in so many ways; curved paper is so much easier to visualise than the often difficult ball-and-curved-triangular-prisim-thing that some people seem to use!! Having a strong foundation is so important but often hard, thanks so much for this! :)

thank you so much for this advice. I've been practicing for half an hour at level one and already making breakthroughs

i ran into an art block years ago and it kind of made me stop drawing. I've tried to pick it up since and gotten discouraged through my drawings because nothing was clicking anymore. I'm happy to say this made me feel like i've had a real grip on faces for the first time in a while. It made more sense and i could actually start flowing my drawings and sketches better. And for the first time in a very long time felt motivated to draw again. Thank you.

What I like about your tutorial is that it's to the point and not long-winded

Wow! This is actually the best way to imagine and construct a face, I have never got used to the circle/ sphere method, so now I must start applying and studying like that! Thank you!

Sir you just blew my mind. My brain just latched onto this so fast, wtf!?! Thank you, you’re amazing.

I’ve been binge watching videos on face and body anatomy and crap like that and yours is honestly the most helpful.

I've been drawing for a long time, but faces still get me from time to time. It's good having these types of exercises to help me get back to the basics. Good stuff.

Good tutorial! Breaking it down in "stages" or "levels" makes it useful for both novice and experienced artists, and also for art styles that have dimension but isn't aiming to be realistic. These can also be used as "warmups". I agree with you on circles; using cylinders and cubes helps a lot more when it comes to adding dimension to your drawing. And the human head isn't a perfect sphere after all.

Dude. Whatever you just showed me made so much sense. I'll never draw faces the same way again. Thanks man. Subscribed.

I COME BACK FROM YESTERDAY I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I IMPROVED WHIT THIS THANK YOUUU

Anytime I struggle I come back and watch this video. Truely amazing

Thank you! I've been so stuck on the Loomis method because I can't visualize how the head and face move together in perspective. Separating the face into its own plane and then giving it the rest of the head once it's figured out really broke me out of my rut and lets me just draw cool faces.

This is amazing. I'd never heard of this technique before, but now I love it so much. My faces in perspective/at angles have never looked better. I'm really glad that I saw this video today.

every once in a while when I feel frustrated with my art I'll come back to this video (or any of your tutorials really) and it helps me to get out of my head and remember what to focus on. thanks for continuing to remind me how I can enjoy art! ♡

Oh my God... where has this video been all my life. I’ve always had trougle with this but something about your method clicked with me immediately bless

This tutorial is a blessing and I can tell has already made a difference in my art! I always struggled with perspective but now I hope to not struggle with face perspective as much! Blocking the face into different shapes (exciting circles ha) really helps! Thank you so much!

KIDS TRY THIS AT HOME! It's different but you'll get similar results. It's real easy... 1. Find a crayon, penci, or large bird that is elderly/sick and pluck several feathers. 2. On a random white surface, draw an oval shaped....oval 3. Draw eyes by scribbling two dark circles right at eye level. 4. To make nose just use your own by dipping your nose into the paint or ink or blood or whatever and smoosh your face into the middle of the oval. 5. Put teeth in the smile you drew by making 32 squares on top and 24 rectangles on the bottom... OPTIONAL: make fangs by drawing sharp triangles. 6. For ears its best to staple dry macaroni on sides of the oval. Now hold the picture next to your face in the mirror... the resemblance should be uncanny!!

Hey, everyone has their own opinion. I think this video is great for experienced artists, but not for beginners. In fact, as a beginner myself, it was way too confusing for me because I was trying to find a video where someone could explain to me the proportions of the face, but this explanation assumes that you already know them and can just _draw_ a perfect sheet of paper with a centerline, and a perfect pyramid-diamond nose. I feel as if it took for granted my experience, and that was frustrating to me, and probably to others as well. Even if the creator titled the video as a technique for intermediate-advanced students, that would be better.

This is probably the easiest way to draw a face from any angle. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A few minutes and I'm suddenly fearless with angled faces. Bless this video. Subbed.

This is by far, the best video I’ve ever seen regarding perspective of faces. Thank you so much. This is exactly what I’ve been needing!

where have you been all my life

You are the best online tutor for me

This really helped! I’ve been trying to learn to draw from different angles to spice up my art a lil bit since, I mostly draw front facing positions.

I have a problem with angles where the it comes to draw just one eye completely and the other one not at all or just hidden by the face. For example in the upper row the third face in the level four drawings. His left eye would be the difficult part for me. I think I have a general problem with leaving stuff out or hidden. I need to see everything and how it's connected to the rest
