Drawabox Lesson 5: Drawing a Tiger's Head

- In this demonstration, I explore how we can apply constructional techniques specifically to an animal's head to build out the muzzle, carve out the eye sockets and add the necessary bulk.

The biggest challenge I've across in this lesson is getting the proportions of the various parts correct. So far, the legs of my wolf were a bit larger than needed, and my tiger's eyes smaller than I wanted.
The struggle is real! But knowing is half the battle!
I know you get this a lot, and you should, but THANK YOU! You’ve given me confidence and helped increase my confidence with art. I really believe after completing the long process of mastering your fundamentals I might have a chance in the Art world. Thank you!
I'm glad to hear that! Thank you for the kind words - though to be clear, we never "master" our fundamentals, so that's a pretty high bar you're setting for just "having a chance". You may not believe it, but "good enough" and mediocrity are enough to get your foot in the door. Not that you shouldn't aim high, but there's no need to hold yourself back.
"And then I just add details" famous last words before being killed by a horde of angry students.
Thanks... For everything.
OMG!! What a lot of Christmas gifts in form of videos!! Thank you and happy Holidays! :D
My pleasure! And same to you.
My gosh this is so confusing. Even after watching all the tutorials, going through lessons 1-4, and reading all the demos, I still don't understand this. *sigh* Well, I better at least try and see what I can do. :P
Xp10d3 draw muzzles for 10 hours and you will get it.
i guess you arent paying attention
@@Roule_n_Scratche Man I'm just trying this out you don't need to be toxic about it
I think something that can help is doing the different phases of the construction in different colors, it allows you to see more clearly which parts look shaky and which look believable, and kinda how they relate to each other
@@zacharycieszinski5465 Thanks for the tip!
i learned alot in this one,especially the eyes
Really helpful demo thanks.
Wow thank you so much
My pleasure.
so glad i found this video 2 years later
Thank you for these lessons. Why do you draw stripes but don't draw the pupils in the eyes? Isn't it just color in both cases?
You're correct - although these days I actually encourage students to ignore all local/surface colour and patterning altogether. That's one of many minor points I'll be updating as I gradually work through the overhaul of the video content.
@@Uncomfortable Ah got it. Thank you for the response :)
wow this lesson seems like it will be very hard. In a good way though it means I m learning huh :)
but really, proportions and getting certain parts right is so difficult when I draw it together it looks like a frankestein monster XD. I feel that I should study some bits and pieces of the anatomy separatley first, then bring it together slowly because I dont want to wing it when drawing it as a whole and the details become small.
Great tutorial. Getting the proportions and positioning right is really hard! It's tough to get the 3D form of the muzzle aligned with the eyes and direction of the face. I always wind up with creatures that look like they have crooked noses. I guess that's just a matter of practice though.
Figuring out how all the pieces fit together, and getting them to align in 3D space is definitely a challenge, but it will improve as your understanding of 3D space as a whole continues to develop.

Could you make an example of a hippo head? It's a pretty complicated form.
I unfortunately do not have the resources to make demonstrations on request, but I do have a couple things that can help:
Firstly, as noted in the written material associated with this demonstration, in the years we've spent providing feedback on things like this, we've devised somewhat more structured approaches to head construction that align more closely with the core theme of the course. While we are working to update the video demonstrations as part of the larger course overhaul (which is progressing slowly due to being done alongside our usual work of managing the community and providing our official critique students with feedback, and so has only just entered Lesson 2), we do have "informal demos" to serve as stop gaps in the interim.
This informal demo: drawabox.com/lesson/5/6/heads is linked from the written material for this demo, and provides a more structured approach that focuses on fitting the different pieces of the head construction together like pieces of a puzzle. This approach can also be applied to other animals, because it all comes down to breaking things down into simple elements and building them up. This demo: i.imgur.com/fUIEAu0.png shows this approach being used for a rhino (a particularly banana-headed one at that, as we wanted to specifically pick something that felt weird and didn't obviously fit the more cat-focused demo to show that the approach is quite flexible). Much of what is shown there should also apply to approaching a hippo head.
Additionally, I recently made this demo of a squirrel head when providing a student with official critique, it may also be useful: i.imgur.com/TOYXEW1.png
@@Uncomfortable Thank you very much!
Can you please please do an elephant instructional video please
I won't be making any new videos for a bit, but for the time being, I do have this demonstration: drawabox.com/lesson/5/7/elephantconstruction

Thanks
I'm confused. You said it's best not to use local color for these lessons but you filled in the stripes with black? Is there a specific purpose behind this?
This is more a factor of the age of the demo. Over the years I've developed a stronger understanding of how I think about drawing, and how to convey it to students, primarily through the thousands of rounds of feedback I've done. As a result, the course itself has evolved and changed, but this has resulted in some contradictions within the demo material. Over time this will be rectified - I've been working on overhauling the demo/video material and reframing the text, but I cannot say how long it will take. In the meantime though, anything conveyed within the written material (including the point you raised) should be followed and should take precedence over anything you might see incidentally in the videos.
@@Uncomfortable I see, I will keep this in mind! Thank you for the quick response!
