1. 0:10Hello everyone, I'm glad that you’re here. I finally did the tutorial video, yey!!
2. 0:20So, before we start, I just want to say, this anime tutorial it will cover the very basic of drawing
3. 0:28like how simple shapes and lines can turn into anime artworks :)
4. 0:32So, if you want to start or just starting to drawing anime or manga, these series of tutorial will help you!
5. 0:38and now let's begin! So Ready your pencil and paper and draw along with me.
6. 0:44Part 1. conditioning exercises / warm up
7. 0:50to start your practice you don’t go with the complicated techniques right away, always start small,
8. 0:55condition your weapon, on our case as an artist our primary weapon is our hand and pencil.
9. 1:01We must sharpen it. How? By drawing basic shapes.
10. 1:10for now, let's do lines and circles.
11. 1:23just draw random circles on our paper
12. 1:36Do it with just a single stroke
13. 2:14now this is a bit harder because we are going to draw the circle in uniform size.
14. 2:37put lines on your paper and draw the circles.
15. 2:53again do it with a single stroke.
16. 3:32don’t use any measuring tools, like compas or protractor.
17. 3:45don’t worry if it’s not a perfect circle.
18. 4:04do not do this, this is a bad habit.
19. 4:18be confident when you draw shapes.
20. 4:39do this, practice your single stroke.
21. 4:48you can draw it over and over as long as it’s one stroke.
22. 5:04Do this for 2 – 3 pages. If your hand feels tired just rest for a bit.
23. 5:30Now, next are straight lines.
24. 5:46let’s do the vertical first. Once again, fill the whole page.
25. 6:12always use single stroke, don’t speed up,
26. 6:34again, no measuring tools like rulers.
27. 7:05again, do not do this.
28. 7:34do this.
29. 7:51speeding up the video :)
30. 8:05Do the same on the horizontal lines.
31. 8:20You may wonder why we do all of this.
32. 8:28It’s to improve your free hand skills.
33. 8:37Free hand drawing is when you draw things without the help of any other tools
34. 8:48Only pen and paper.
35. 9:01This will help you do fast sketches and backgrounds.
36. 9:12sometimes when I do backgrounds I just freehand them.
37. 9:27and doing a single sketch should only take a few seconds.
38. 10:00Always do these conditioning exercises when you practice drawing.
39. 10:14Part 2. Drawing the face
40. 10:21now that you have warmed up. It's time to draw the very first thing you need to learn.
41. 10:31the face.
42. 10:41Remember to always start with a sketch.
43. 10:49especially when you are just learning how to draw it.
44. 11:08If you see someone draw a face without a sketch…
45. 11:15it's because they have done it a thousand times.
46. 11:22that they have the muscle memory of it.
47. 11:31or they are just that talented.
48. 11:38Now this is the sketch of the face look like.
49. 11:45some people ask why we need to draw this first when we can just memorize the shape and that’s it.
50. 11:56drawing anime is not just drawing a character looking straight at you.
51. 12:05You need to learn many angles and direction of the face.
52. 12:44Again, this is how you start the sketch.
53. 12:51Each lines are guides for the facial features.
54. 13:03The horizontal line is for the eyes and ears.
55. 13:18The vertical line is for the nose and mouth.
56. 13:34Now here is the tricky part.
57. 13:42Drawing the jaw.
58. 13:50Because you’ll have to draw a shape that will reflect to the other side.
59. 13:57It doesn’t have to be perfect but they should be visibly identical.
60. 14:06The usual and direction is inward curve.
61. 14:15Not making it inward enough and the face will look fat.
62. 14:31There are many kinds of shapes for the face.
63. 14:40It depends on your art style.
64. 14:50One way to spot any mistake is to watch where you apply the curve.
65. 15:09The best way to learn this is by repetition.
66. 15:23draw it over and over again
67. 15:36just draw the circle and then the jaw.
68. 15:44or just the jaw itself.
69. 15:54draw one side multiple times and then the other.
70. 16:03then try to draw it both sides.
71. 16:14do it over and over till you fill the whole page or pages.
72. 16:27Best part is, the front view is an uncommon angle in manga or anime.
73. 16:36You don’t see a scene or page with just the front view of the characters, that would be awkward.
74. 16:47In fact, the most common angle is this one.
75. 16:56The semi side view, the ¾ or parallel view
76. 17:20In this angle the centerline is moved to one side.
77. 17:29that means also the chin. When drawing the jaw.
78. 18:07the side that is more visible will have a wider jaw line.
79. 18:16and the far side will have a short one.
80. 18:24the eye on the far side will be narrower this time.
81. 19:05I'm only drawing simple eyes because we are concentrating on the face for now
82. 19:15and also next video is drawing eyes and detailed face tutorial.
83. 19:43and just like the front view.
84. 19:49mastering this angle is to draw it repeatedly.
85. 20:10fill your paper with sketch.
86. 20:34the last angle that will be learn today.
87. 20:43The side view.
88. 20:53As can you see, the centerline for the side view…
89. 21:00Is straight but it’s on the edge of the circle.
90. 21:09Now you already know where the eye should be because of the horizontal line.
91. 21:17Just draw the nose below the horizontal line.
92. 21:24That’s your guide for the side view.
93. 21:32This angle is both easy but tricky.
94. 21:42Because this has a lot of curves.
95. 21:50But its only on one side.
96. 22:00The curve will depend on the contours of the face.
97. 22:11The basic ones are the forehead, nose, lips and chin.
98. 22:29some artist don’t add the shape for the lips, that’s ok too.
99. 22:38It depends on your art style.
100. 22:59This is how you map the facial features.
101. 23:14No matter what angle just follow the guides.
102. 23:34Always remember the curves, forehead, nose, lips and chin.
103. 23:43And just like always, do this repeatedly to master the shapes.
104. 24:27Part 3. Recap.
105. 24:35Now to recap all that we have learned so far.
106. 24:48every time you practice drawing, exercise your free hand skills by drawing lines and circle.
107. 25:02When drawing the face, always start with a sketch.
108. 25:12you can draw a circle and lines over and over for your sketch…
109. 25:20but always do single stroke.
110. 25:32And I can’t stretch enough how important repetition is.
111. 25:43Just draw one simple part or shape and repeat it.
112. 25:50All drawings are made up of simple shape.
113. 26:01like one side of the face, do it until there are no more space on your paper.
114. 26:16do it anywhere anytime you have a pen and paper with you.
115. 26:29Do it on your desk, on the walls.
116. 26:37on other people shirt. when they are not looking
117. 26:45Ok... maybe not those, but you get the point.
118. 26:53Ok that’s it for now, thank you for watching and see you on the next tutorial video.
