I wanted to finally learn to draw pretty faces, so I sat down and did six days (non consecutively, I need rest ofc) of studies to learn how. I'm surprised at how well this training regime went, so I decided to share it!

The details to recreate my pencil and brush for free is also provided in the Gumroad links. But you can also buy it if you want to support my channel!

I'm 32 years old... due to certain personal issues, I got a suggestion by my therapist... the idea was to pick an activity I've never done before, hopefully something that appeals to creativity. Well, I chose drawing. It's been 3 amazing weeks! Just found out about your channel and will definetely take a look at all your videos!

I am absolutely guilty of delaying face studies. I think this is the sign I should stop running from my responsibilities. Thanks Pikat, wish me luck.

"Appealing faces is not the same as conventionally attractive faces" !!!! Thank you!! As a character designer and illustrator, I always stress this to people wanting to learn. That appealing is not always the same as attractive, and that learning how to draw different facial features can really broaden your understanding of facial structure!

"I thought I wasn't able to draw detailed art. Turns out, I just never really tried." ( 12:06 ) That is probably one my favorite things to experience when drawing, or doing anything in life, tbh. I definitely wanna seek that experience more often. It can be easy to get discouraged, especially if you're struggling to define success with your art, but I think it can be so valuable to aim for a positive experience like that.

One thing I have found from drawing not only from other artists, but from portraits as well is that you will make PERMANENT progress! It might just be one thing or two at the beginning, but as you become more advanced, you'll learn quicker and more. I have found that taking certain elements from the artists you like is a way to boost and build your own style!

Pikat, I can't explain why, but your videos are one of my biggest sources of motivation when it comes to doing art. It's something about the way you're so comfortable showing all your mistakes and how you go about fixing them, along with your very positive outlook that reminds me that we all start somewhere and to be easier on myself. Thank you so much and never change.

I am an 12 year old artist about to turn 13, and the skull thing actually helped me a TON, simplified heads now make so much sense in my head that I was like, in disbelief, staring at the model on the screen as everything clicked lol. But thanks for the tip !

That line art looks professional, there's just something so satisfying about it, reminds me of disney line art as a kid and certain concept arts.

Fear isn’t just the practice. Its how I constantly feel I have to catch up and BE something of worth. So I feel I have to practice loads and be good NOW which makes the process hella worse. Its when I am not wholly fearful of studying and can just get lost in making something with what I’ve learned with no interruptions that I am in my element. When I’m not thinking about goals or being somewhere is when I ironically do my best. Also just studying one thing until I feel comfortable. Not every fundamental and every anatomical structure at once. You will eventually be good. You don’t have to be good rn. With time and practice you’ll do good

I love that you always go out of your way to add your eyebags while still maintaining AND encouraging such a good mindset and outlook on art. It couldn't be more relatable, and I enjoy your videos so much.

The neat thing about drawing from real reference is that you can pick out appealing features from a photo that you would never imagine without it. Like, maybe this guy has a really nice chin! Maybe that girl's shoulders are really cute! Maybe that old man's wrinkly forehead makes him look really cool! Then you come up with your own solution to represent those features using lines on a canvas.

I’m gonna be completely honest, no matter which channels I watched, I always found that art tips were so inaccessible because they give very broad advice. But I’m a huge fan of your videos because they show the process of improvement and they give the whole journey, not just the high points. Best art channel!

Here are a couple things I've learned on what can make faces more appealing: (note: appeal can vary from person to person. I'm sharing what I've learned.) 1. Analyze the space between each section of the face (hairline to brow, brow to nose, nose to chin). I learned the "cat theory" from Zeronis in his Class 101 class where he highlighted the proportions of a cat (large forehead to nose area, smaller nose to chin) and applied it to a human face. It resulted in a more appealing face. 2. Analyze the size of the facial features relative to each other. For example, in anime, the eyes are LARGE and the rest of the facial features are small. In more realistic faces, the facial features are pretty much the same size. 3. Analyze the ways facial features are simplified. I don't know what it is, but simplifying things just has a certain appeal to it. When looking at different styles, the more realistic the subject, the more information is indicated such as structure, form, perspective, details, etc. For more stylized work, it's often a lot simpler and shape design driven. I hope this helps! 😄
