It's not a "mistake", it's a simplification. you can draw flat nails, you can even draw less phalanges in fingers than there really are (gasp!) for ease of rendition. If you're drawing comics, animation, or anything where you have to crank out multiple images fast - it's an option. And using the same style for a standalone piece doesn't invalidate said piece just because it's not a part of a serialized production.

I think what lots of ppl say in here is not that it just looks pretty, the way you show it’s anatomically correct, but drawing the nails more flatten gets a better esthetic look, even tho the anatomical way it’s more naturally pretty, for lots of artists, drawing the nails flat its more pretty bc of its elegance esthetics. (Just an opinion, sorry if there’s bad grammar.)

Flat nails are a more stylized way to draw them the slight curve is anatomically correct but either works it honestly depends on your style and what your trying to draw for if you want a more realistic approach then this is probably how you should draw them but if your just drawing anime or another type of cartoon style then either way works

this is why learning anatomy is so important. i always draw from real ppl so learning stuff about bodies is very interesting
this is good. and some ppl does have naturally flat nails so i think it's fine
This is what i love about sailor moon's animations(or at least the original stuff)! When there is any close up of a non-gloved hand (like during transformations or a character doing homework) they actually show this technique off very well!

Who knew that slight change would fix so much for me
usually I use my own hands as a reference, and I have flat nails, so i don't draw them that way 😅
I think it really depends what style you are drawing; for example, if you are doing an anime type sketch, it would be more simple and flat. For a realistic one, you would have to follow the anatomy more.

You don't need to draw realistic to draw anatomy correctly.

The transformations in the original Sailor Moon show this off very well. Simplified yet still better than flat
Haha this might be the first video I’ve ever seen that corrects it. Though this for sure a stylistic choice. Some artists don’t even draw nails!
honestly i think the upwards curve while drawing is so much prettier despite being much more unrealistic 😅 ill keep this in mind for more realistic drawings though ❤
For most people its anatomically correct, but for some people, their fingers nails are flat. I crush my fingers alot when I was young so my fingersdon'thave the dip before the nail. I guess it just deepens on what/who you're drawing.
I actually love these videos. It makes me wanna pick up art again.
So THAT'S why my nails always looked strange! Thanks man
also some people have different styles and draw for example "fused nails" (nails fused to the flesh even more than normal), sharp fingers, with the nails also completely fused with the finger and the square fingers (which are some more realistic), etc, Etc, ETC, *E.T.C.* ....
my nails have 2 subtle curves that make it look flat
*sees hand, gets excited* "A common mistake when drawing NAILS-" *Skip*
I swear bro can build an entire person just from his memory 💀
honestly the first drawing looks like a somewhat correct way of drawing acrylic nails! or at least a gel set, since they raise the nail slightly above the skin
I checked my nails out of curiosity and found out that I'm actually stylized in real life 😎
Although I draw in pretty simple artstyle, but I think it's useful!!!
Honestly I always used to draw nails convex since it is how real nails are and I just referenced myself always, but I thought it looked so clunky and ugly. It just interrupts the flow. I personally like the look so much better when learning to stylise the nails
It's not a mistake but rather an artistic choice
Clear explanation. Thank you ♡

Another constant mistake of artists is that they simply do not know how to draw hands))

The perk is that you don't need to worry to draw nails because you can't draw the limbs in the first place
Genuinely drawing the angles the nails would be at helps make the entire hand look like it’s at the correct angle with minimal effort. A thumb that’s just a wonky blob becomes dynamic id the nail is foreshortened and angled correctly. Shit’s wild
Can't believe I decided to look at my own fingernails and just noticed some of my fingers looks like the incorrect way 😔
Launch a book already ❤❤❤

The reason why artist do this is to make the fingers appear sharper, which is sometimes an attractive trait on women.
I think what lots of ppl say in here is not that it just looks pretty, the way you show it’s anatomically correct, but drawing the nails more flatten gets a better esthetic look, even tho the anatomical way it’s more naturally pretty, for lots of artists, drawing the nails flat its more pretty bc of its elegance esthetics. (Just an opinion, sorry if there’s bad grammar.)
more hand tutorials please, they are so hard to draw
also for toe nails the edges of the nails hool the skin it is more visible in front view
Excal: *draws* A mistake he made: I'm about to start this man's whole career
I think I like it better flat so I’ll stick to that but it’s good to know if I do realism again
tbh i think flat nails is more attractive in art, but it all depends on how you want your piece to look and what suits you best.
That's great but with howquickly I burnout there'sno way I'm gonnaadd any more details than absolutely necessary, my drawings are lucky if they even have fingers drawn separately x.x
By the end of my life I will be so knowledgeable with the human body and anatomy and not because I studied biology, but because of this dude
I’m guilty of giving my character flat nails😔🖐️ or forgetting their nails😅
This may be the first time that I like the "mistake" version more
These shorts are an absolute GAME CHANGER for me, a sad old stuck artist 💀
It's actually a correct way to draw nails, but if someone will REALLY draw such a small details like a lil nail bumps, it's gonna be kinda sus for me... It's like detailed armpit or foot.

Now you're making me realizing there might be people that are into nails 💀 BTW it's depends, if you're drawing full body then there is no need to draw detailed nails but if it's a close up portrait that contain hands in it, then it could be done with details
I want to get to the point where the thing holding back my hand drawings is the nails
I prefer drawing them flat for simpler drawings. When you need anatomical images then of course do it right but it disrupts the line to add them in unnecessarily
That curve is called the apex here to sprinkle tiny nuggets of info to tge internet as a ✨️nail tech/artist✨️
My nail plates dont have that curve at all

Yes different styles completely disregard this, yes nails can be more flat, he’s just saying this is a mistake sometimes done when going for is style
Flat nails are a more stylized way to draw them the slight curve is anatomically correct but either works it honestly depends on your style and what your trying to draw for if you want a more realistic approach then this is probably how you should draw them but if your just drawing anime or another type of cartoon style then either way works
My nails do not have the curve, it's completely flat because i bit it as a kid and destroyed something inside
Either everyone in the drawing has flat nail conditions or the artist is drawing it wrong
I just learned my nails are actually normal and not difformed
POV: you draw your characters with gloves
I already knew this but i just keep forgetting and ignoring it for some reason
Yeah but it’s hard to draw like that when you have to draw them a lot in limited time
I just realized that I literally have no nail fold
I don't have the brain capacity to draw nails properly... I just hide the hands every chance I get because they're my mortal enemy.
Nails can also grow different!! My mom's grow more in a square or straight angle and mine grow more up and arrow like.
"Hm how should I draw the nails?" "Nah nevermind, I'll just not draw them"
No wonder my nails look unnatural 💀
I thought it was gonna be a tutorial on how to draw fingernails. Some people also naturally have flat nails so I draw fingers that way.
Nah we going wolverine and freddy krueger with this one 😂
I once peeled off the skin around my nail.... Just the skin...
My nails are completely straight, i had no idea that's not normal lol
FORGET NAILS, I CAN'T EVEN DRAW THE HAND AND FINGERS PROPERLY!
My bf's thumb nails are actually flat. I've even out them against a ruler to compare. It's incredibly odd. Not something you see at a distance but weird once you do notice it lol
My nails ARE completely flat😂
i bite my nails so much that I don't have cuticles so maybe I should stop using myself as a reference :'3
I AM COPYING THIS HAND LIKE ITS SO GOOD🎉
Honestly? I think this is an acceptable "it's just my artstyle" moment because I think the flat nails look awesome. I've noticed people doing this too, but I actually really like how it looks. I guess if you're doing realism you can't do it though.
My nails are almost completely flat other then the skin going to it which is also flat but is triangular
Saving this. Was so fucking confused as to why the hands on a really stupidly detailed picture I'm drawing never looked 100% right, even though I basically copied the hand pose exactly from a reference I took of my own hand in that same pose. It was the fucking nails.
Broo please do one of how to draw arms
i cannot be the only one who like anatomically correct version more in terms of aesthetic
I think the first one is just a style choice
Im gonna be so for real, i cant even draw a thumb with tracing. Im too busy crying to care about the nail curve 😭
I like it flat and stylised tho
I don’t have a nail fold 🫠
my nails are completely flat..😭
That’s so good dude
Bold of you to assume I'm good enough at drawing hands to give them nails in the first place
We can also draw no nails to fix this problem...
Well yes but some people have flat nails and if they reference their own hands well..
Thanks!
