I'm not weird :(
Oh, you poor thing. I'm really sorry.

That's an odd tutorial though.

[Terro]

Zwickel, don't listen to the numbskulls :p this is a great tut and thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. BTW weird is good if your an artist. I'mpretty freaking weird myself.

You've just earned 1 Bronze Talent for your Tutorial Submittion.

nice tute tho

Heh, you seem to know facial porpotions pretty well. (although it's kinda weird how the eyes were placed lower on the skull than normal, but got offset and balanced by the fact that the hairline barely raised above the skull) And this tutuorial is good at teaching what people need to know, but with enough freedom for them to take their faces wherever they want.

Plus I dont think I'd ever have the guts to post a tutorial. I mean, I don't think I'll ever reach a point where I'm so satisfied with my art that I feel I have the right to teach other people how to do theirs (even if they are complete newbs).

[Zwickel]

I'm not satisfied with my art, NEVER. lol
But I just wanted to show what my knowledge so far is...thanks to you, Burne Hogarth :D

Oh yea, I kinda moved the eyes a little bit down...and made them big.

Yay, talent point!

[NOOB!]

nah,its not wierd zwick,its a nice tut.

Tutorials seems to make things seem more complex than they actually are though don't u agree?.I just hope people aren't to confused when it comes to placing eyes and stuff.I remember when all those lines used to confuse the hell out of me,but when u get used to drawing u never even use those lines,it just comes naturally.

*i can't stand hogarths anatomy btw,its tooooo round,hahaha*

i love his book on folds and drapery though.:D

[Zwickel]

What books do you recommend then?
Round? Like what, the way he draws hands?

I like how you guys didn't put me down like this: http://www.fluidanims.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=81

[NOOB!]

i don't know who those guys are,so i'm not gunna go calling them names,but they are right in the sense that life drawing helps u to see and learn the face better.

I disagree with this point about *u don't need tutorials* thats bull****,tutorials are there as help,something u can refer to when u get in trouble.Then again i think someone on that form did say that.

ALL tutorials are the same,they teach people how to draw how THAT artist draws.

But i think it was highly unneccasary to bring that up,your just trying to help people.
...

with this tut i think some of the features aren't placed too correctly.

what books do i recommend? u say that as if ur gunna stop reading hogarth,part of being an individual zwick it to stick to whatever YOU like.Me not liking hogarth is my taste,u don't have to change yours;)

[Zwickel]

Nah lol, can't stop reading him. hes a damn genius. But I was just asking which ones do you recommend?

[jackhalfaprayer]

I recommend sitting down and drawing a still life of a bunch of pumpkins stacked in a wicker basket next to some open ears of corn. Keep your eyes on the subject 90% of the time and only glimpse at the drawing the other 10%. Learn to trust your hands.

Hogarth is great IMO - I love how he sets up 3-d geometry and carves out of it. But I never used his books per se, and I have no books to recommend. There's a great stretch of diff between learning and doing. Just tryin' t'help. That said, I still think that's a nifty tutorial:)

[NOOB!]

i don't reccommend any books other than loomis lol.He explains everything from drawing to painting........to perspectice to how to draw children,babies anything....well everything except animals

My fave books for anatomy learning are a mixture of loomis and george bridgman who taught loomis,lol.

But on top of all that,life drawing! if u can't do that,go the gym,gain sum muscles,get nekid and stare at urself in the mirror,its only now i realised,hey...i have human anatomy too hahahah.
