Auto-correction de tes dessins : Technique de la ligne du milieu

Hi ! In this video, I'm going to correct one of my mistakes So I'm going to correct this drawing which will allow you to understand why there is an error if you don't see the error, I see it right now I will also give you a technique which will allow you to correct the error by yourself and later use it in your own drawings and you will see, it's a magic technique which will allow you to reveal the errors because when you do this kind of drawing you tend to get used to your mistakes and this technique will help you to correct your mistakes So I'm going to do a set why I give this kind of exercise this kind of exercise allows you to understand the volumes of a face that is to say, to draw this head it's much easier than drawing a real face a real face, I understand well it's not a drawing of a method that you find in a book with 10 pages Here, Anne-Marie follows a 3-month course I shape her in a very precise way in the character drawing that is to say, we go through the simple shapes of the face to the realistic shapes and then we attack the body She's been with me for 4 weeks So this week it was the bust or rather the head of John Acero This head of John Acero Acero is a painter who created the sculpture and in fact he created this sculpture to be able to simplify the light and the shapes of the face so that beginners and painters can use it as a reference in their paintings and in their daily drawings It is therefore a tool that we use even the most experienced still that I use regularly too We put sculpture So this face, compared to this drawing what can you see? First we will see what is very well done and well done in this drawing In terms of final results it's pretty clean I'm pretty satisfied and happy with Anne-Marie The proportions are pretty good even if I see a small mistake It will be a little higher otherwise the lip is well placed The lip is one of the biggest mistakes beginners who often come back Even when I say you have to be careful we make the mistake But that's why I'm here to always say that there are mistakes and in the end Anne-Marie put the mouth well at this level and she doesn't make the mistake anymore At the beginning it was the nose because that was the second drawing she had done She had made a small mistake but now often, generally we don't make the same mistakes anymore once we have seen our mistake and we know why we made the mistake It's perfect In terms of general volume It's perfect It's very very good The line is pretty clean because you cleaned it However, I see some mistakes We're going to cheat You have to be careful when you draw Anne-Marie's lines You have to be careful It has to be parallel Parallel We feel a little bit that it's cross This area is a little bit chaotic I understand that you have trouble This area too It's complicated at the beginning But really You really have to master the simplification For example here I would have done the outline first And then I add the line and I detail more Go step by step in the big plan The plan I drew And then we decompose more and more I told you The problem is that the lip is well placed but it lacks volume If you notice the lip makes this kind of line It falls a little bit more And it's really this angle that gives all the volume to this lip The problem is that it's a little bit flat You have only one line A little line here Otherwise it would have been good I would have added this line to give more volume It's important Otherwise we feel that it's flat Here, here, here It must be parallel It's not bad Here It's often this kind of thing that causes problems and that's what creates small errors It's here and here On the same line Here it's not bad I told you you made a mistake You corrected it You corrected the nose Be careful here It lacks a little volume But don't worry At first it seems complicated But over time you will see that we will come back in a few weeks It will be much simpler And I will show you how to use it in painting Here It's a shame You did a very good job in the structure But I'm satisfied because the 3 quarters is much better But here you have to be careful You have to stretch your lines We often have this kind of lines that are a little bit soft And what I call stretching is really stretching You have to do it clearly and precisely religiously Here Your lines are pretty good In terms of contrast we will talk about it later But you start to master it I don't talk about it yet because it's too much Otherwise it's perfect You master the proportions better and better compared to the beginning It's perfect There are almost no proportions Then We are almost at the 3 quarters Sorry, 3 quarters doesn't exist On this drawing We will look at what's wrong This is the final blur Then here it's Anne-Marie's tracing that she redraws What can you see on this drawing? If it can help you I tell you right away where the mistake is It's the nose and the mouth It's a problem When you don't have a lot of experience I mean experience on several years Of course in a few weeks with my methods you will have them But when you draw It took me a lot of time to have the right silhouettes It took me several years Even after school I master it It's perfect Don't worry So Anne-Marie You have to compare the lines you draw and give the right volume I already told you It's a process It will come with time Then It's easier to give the right volume The nose is well placed but it's a bit big You can see your mistakes It's just a few small volumes on the right that will change your drawing You will have a well placed eye but it's too shy You have to be sure I mean I think you are wrong from the beginning because of this diamond It's much bigger than you think It's like you drew it It's too thin It should go up to here It's true that this line is beautiful as you did It's very feminine For women, it's much smaller But here we draw a big man I mean we caricature We do a caricature of the face It's like we create a contrast effect on the value to see it better It's the same here It's perfect A little tip to check if you drew well and if you put this drawing in perspective I don't know how to write How do you do that? It's a simple technique I told you in the training You really have to use it It's important If you use it in your drawing You did the diamond line But since it was erased it means you don't use it a lot Think about using it From here you can see you made some mistakes It allows you to check everything We often have cognitive biases on our way of drawing So we need to add this kind of reference to help us and put points to rest on So we have a fairer drawing and it avoids to draw by eye That's why I'm against the instinctive drawing when you don't know the rules So you accumulate mistakes Always remember to check this axis which is very important It's the same for the 3 quarters If you draw the axis here We say it's the middle the middle and here we can feel the mistake It's a bit weird It's like when you make a cut of the head You see the mouth is already wrong We can see it Then we cut the plans and we can see the base the top of the chin needs more volume on the right and it falls here I think you put it too far back If we would have put more volume here we would have put the mouth a bit more this way Here I start again For me it goes a bit more this way I see the reference For me it looks more like something like this We go more in the silhouette Here Like this You see the nose is very good You notice when you cut that your nose is too big It's because it looks very big because it's in your way of drawing I think if you would have soften a bit in terms of lines in these areas it would look less mastoc I recommend you to apply the same line everywhere I recommend you to go a lot less strong It's a complete correction It's not a precise video even if I tried to specify on the technique I just showed you from the middle Remember that it's very important this technique from the middle to cut everything in the middle It allows you to understand I add a little trick I swing Maybe later it will be more precise as a video Here I go a bit in all directions The same way you can reuse in these areas the cuts It allows you to really understand what you draw Just by drawing this line you see by this line and this shape that this shape is pretty good You cut like this and it really allows you to understand what you draw Next week we will do this and you will see that it will help you in the shadow drawing Then in terms of lines I go back to what I wanted to say just before In terms of line design it's always better to draw really strong on the outside Here I do it in a very rough way You will see that even in a rough way it is much more structured In fact, you should really do only a few lines Do not go too deep in the uniqueness of the line Your line is clear sharp and precise That's great Even if your noise is a little bit messy It is much cleaner than this Because from here for example your circle your circle here it should be much cleaner Much much cleaner That's why I ask you to take several steps in photos of your process From there it should have been erased to have a clean line like this In terms of silhouette it's perfect I have the impression that here it is better than here The outline should always be much thicker than the inside Otherwise we lose the silhouette we lose our landmarks And what I would have done I would have just drawn that as I showed you Otherwise we talked about the bird here Do not hesitate to contrast that this line that I call the bird It will be on the next drawing So you miss this drawing which is just on the left I'm in a hurry to see it your next drawing I think it will be top especially with this correction video You will just pay attention in terms of space and volume and if you place the symmetry it will be perfect I wish you good luck Anne-Marie Don't hesitate to subscribe and if you like it don't hesitate to contact me if you want to learn drawing and private lessons coaching, 2-3 months of follow-up in medium intensity for the moment we are not 100% but we move very quickly without getting too tired because these are very precise lessons so we progress quickly with the right exercises we don't go to a workshop to draw and get advice we have a course before so we move much faster See you next time Ciao
