That first one I had so much trouble noticing weirdly enough. I thought it was a curve ball (I've also been stuck for a few years now on not being able to notice what's off in drawings despite having that "it looks off" feeling). Thanks so much for this!

[MrHighIQ]

This is probably the best video for intermediate artist ive ever seen explaining with concepts and showing the before and after to really train your mind to see how big of a difference the correction makes it’s perfect for someone who understands the basics and is ready to learn at the next level well done!

[jerrydease]

I usually don’t like riddles & puzzles. 😌 I just like information and answers. 🤩🥳 But this is actually a really fun game! Thanks! And I can’t stand suspense when I’m learning and you weren’t a jerk at all about teaching. 😎 Just straight facts! Bless you, Josh! 💪🏽

Keeping features in perspective is so hard!!! It's something I'm trying so hard to recognize in my own work more. Man, even just recognizing where the mistakes are is such a skill on its own.

I think this would be a great idea for your shorts/reels. A nice quick heads-up for everyone, when you find a unique mistake while you're drawing.

[immanuel]

Thank you so much for making this. Seriously, I'll be refering to this as a test for all my faces from now on, because some of these are so detailed and precise. Like many say, half the work of making art is editing.

[wheatoniswhat]

I just fixed so many mistakes in a drawing that's been driving me crazy all day! Thank you!

[blondewisteria]

Thank you for helping to improve my art, Josh! You’re really constructive, positive and helpful!!!

[paolaanimator]

Thanks for this lesson. It’s amazing how these small changes greatly improves the face drawings. I really need to study anatomy again just for a refresher.

[De_Gecko]

That was super helpful and interesting. Im still a newbie to art and glad to see that even u make some mistakes here and there, makes me feel less
intimidated haha. <3

[MadmanMarkus]

This is so freaking helpful. Thanks for this video :) It's great.

[sirdopaminesjournal]

I really needed this. It’s one of the best ways I learn, finding & fixing mistakes. Thx for this!

I do traditional art but draw almost all my characters in front view and sometimes side view. I rarely draw 3/4 view because I am not comfortable with it. I don't use references because I like to use my imagination when I draw and I think references make it boring. One of my main art struggles also has been identifying the direction of the light source and how to color and shade shadows and highlights on the face and body of the character.

What a coincidence, I was drawing faces and looking for something to listen to when I see this video!

[ptqvirx]

amazing knowledge ergo, you studied this well to help other artists :)

[reyreybaebae]
