Question: When you design characters an abstract or stylized look, is your knowledge of human anatomy still essential?

i love using references which makes sense considering i mainly draw fan art but of course also of more specific things but for those i never really think that deeply on it, i just kind of think “yea that-ish” and then i draw something different, i do keep the idea but i never seem to be able to stick to it, i just run away, covering my ears and eyes lol

I enjoy that you/Jackie often draw black people. Also lots of body diversity in your work too. I sometimes have trouble finding other KZitemrs who do any of that. I am curious about how race has affected or entered your artistic journey. Not sure if that's ever been addressed. Either way, thanks for not being weird about diversity in your characters!

I don't think so either. I mean, you have to have some reference if you want it to look accurate, no matter what you're creating. Usually I will have a few references for commercial stuff and just incorporate my favorite aspects from several photos. Also putting the references away to do some work and then pulling them back out to compare them, but not making a direct "copy" can help. (:

I always use copyright free and Creative Commons sites like Pexels, Unsplash, ect. Because Pinterest and google are notorious for stolen works, and you never know if that photo was put their with the photographer and models consent or knowledge and you never know what the original intent for the photo is. Where as on Unsplash and other such websites photography theft isn’t an issue and the photographer specifically says it’s ok to use their photos

@@hoshi-15 I don’t think it’s lazy either since a lot of thought was put into the drawing, but I think what the others meant that the nose/lips lacked some of the ‘expression’ that the model had on her face. She also showed a previous life drawing she did (min. 7:18 I think) which shows that she could stylize the nose to be round but didn’t and the lips weren’t curved like the model’s. Tho tbh, it’s just a reference for a drawing, not an exact face study or anything. Honestly my main issue with the drawing is how expressionless the face looks and maybe that’s why it gives off this ‘generic’ look idk (there was more focus on how good it’d look conceptually from the shapes/colors than the subject itself. Idk what feeling I should get from that face, like maybe the whole ‘bold and beautiful’ thing, but I don’t feel ‘confidence’ or anything, it just looks like she’s staring into the distance at something and shows no emotion/interact with the butterflies and flowers around her. Basically, to me it looks like a drawing that needs a scene behind it; ‘what/who’s she looking at and how’d they get the attention of someone with butterflies/ flowers in her hair?’

Kind of wish you didn’t make her beautiful round nose into a pointy (more European) nose. Very few black people have pointy noses, and I think it’s important to be aware of that, especially considering black girls grow up being told they would be more beautiful if they had a pointier, smaller nose
@otaku-chan4888

I do see your point, as someone who's also been hit with the 'you don't have a tapered, pretty nose' comment.. but at the same time, we can't really police how people draw every last detail of their characters. Features exaggerated in a way that's disrespectful and triggering in a way that no one; not even the artist, actually intended is one thing- but cracking down on the slightest features like this will actually make artists reluctant to include different races in their art, fearing the slightest angle or feature they miss will back them into a corner.

@@otaku-chan4888 She showed another drawing at 7:18 and the lady she previously drew had a stylized round nose, so her making this nose sharper was what I thought the ‘Don’t do this!’ in the thumbnail was referring to that sort of ‘stiff-face model’ look and thought the video would cover how to make a stylized face that shows more emotion to your art or something ‘cuz many beginners struggle with dynamic facial expressions for characters. There was a lot more focus on shape language/color/details that the emotions for the character/the main subject felt like an after thought. When you get into the zone, it’s hard to realise that you’re repeating bad habits from what you’ve been used to drawing and why the stylization looks iffy to some people (nose/face). This looked like something that needed the ‘take a break from drawing and look at it the next day with fresh eyes’ approach since I feel like she would’ve been able to add more diversity to the face/expression if it had some more thought put into it like with how she experimented alot with new techniques for the colors/textures.
@MegaCapricorn73

Also I doubt making a person’s nose rounder would destroy a learning artist’s journey for improvement. Just like how there’s many anatomy practice vids, if someone’s interested in drawing people they’ll *HAVE* to practice different shapes/features. I also think you’re misunderstanding the fact that you don’t have to settle for less if someone wants to draw a POC. Knowing/implementing the nuances in faces is one of the learning curves that’s necessary for proper representation (I think that’s why there’s these ‘100 faces’ challenges and such). You notice how good she was able to make the colors complement the skin tone from experience and many trial and error, so getting better at diverse faces is just part of the process of learning. The ‘nit-picking’ on the slightest details you described is is more about the trolls who are probably also beginners ‘cuz they don’t give proper advice to those who want to improve their art, just bash/mock the artist ‘cuz they don’t understand how long it takes for a person to improve their artwork and that making mistakes is apart of learning/improving as an artist.

Also maybe make it look more LIEK how the skin is perceived because colour drops usually end up more saturated than they appear especially with dark skin in my experience.

Another thing that good use of references makes is that you have a great liberty of changing the mood or context of a piece to suit your wish. To use your sticker as an example, the referenced picture had a much more summer-y and grounded tone, while your work ended much more autumnal and fantastic. By not stricly using the reference as a holy guide you can tell many things the original piece doesn't.

5:07 I…actually learn A LOT from color picking personally. But I only do it if I’m really struggling to find the right colors. I will color pick 5-6 different spots on the image and then paint little swatches on a blank canvas of each color so I can get a better idea of what’s actually going on instead of what my eyes THINK is going on. This helps me avoid the optical illusion issue where I think I’m seeing one color but it’s actually a completely different color. The more I have done this, the easier it is for me to see correct colors right off the bat and the less I end up needing to do it later. Maybe color picking comes easy to some people, but it certainly doesn’t come easy to everyone. Just thought I’d point that out.

I wanted to ask you a question about the coloring process. And it would be about keeping the lineart of the drawing until the end of the coloring process, more painterly styles often don't use the lineart in the final illustration, do you usually use it until the end or do you only use it as a basis for coloring the drawing? I'm usually always in doubt, I don't understand if this choice depends on the drawing style you have. Thanks so much for your answer!!;))
