People that say there's no science in art are so wrong, anatomy is freaking complicated and even more when you start making animals and made up beings.

As a traditional artist, I do in fact have a symmetry tool and can copy paste my character silhouettes

I like ember, she doesn't look like pure evil, you can tell she has motives and a personality of her own. I want to see her in your story!

I'm animating a character turnaround at the moment too and here are some things i noticed as well 1. torso is biggest in front view and thinnest in side view.. so 3 quater will be bigger than side but smaller than front 2. head is thinnest in front view and biggest in side 3.feet in side view will be centered as compared to the front view and hands as well

The trick with the top view is phenomenal!

I have been hired by an animation studio, and they gave me work for character's turnaround sheets. It's gonna really help me, thank you vv much!

Dude I hope this channel grows like crazy, your style is one of the most pleasing ones I've seen in the art tutorial space and it's obvious from this video alone that you know your stuff. My jaw dropped at that three-quarter view trick.

Dude, I NEEDED to hear you say work towards likeness instead of geometric perfection- I thought I SUCKED at character turnarounds because of how I couldn’t get the individual facial features or individual fingers to lineup with the features and fingers on a different view

"work towards likeness instead of geometric perfection"

I´d LOVE to see Ember again! Her design is very appealing, I love your art and the animation control you have. It is amazing, congratulations!

Never clicked on a video faster.. and I surely wasn’t disappointed .. really engaging video! And the animations in between!!! Top level 🙌🏽

I've not seen it done better than this. Excellent tips.

This video is a 10/10 1. clear, concise explanation with visual aids for kinaesthetic learners ( most tutorials ive seen just voice over whilst showing a speed drawing of something disconnected from whattheir saying just for video filler, which is frustrating) 2. methodology is fantastic, you show you know your stuff in a very digestible way and not overcomplicating the audience with over the top jargon. 3. short and to the point but makes the audience want to know more about turnarounds I have some suggestions for future videos. Maybe do a "draw with me" folllow up/ live stream video of turnarounds. reviewing Turn around submissions. Fantastic Job Joshua, this is honestly the best video ive seen on turnarounds, and ive seen alot lol. cant wait to see more of your videos. I've subbed.

Woah that 3/4 tip really is a game changer for me! Gotta try it sometime!

This video is literally my bible when it comes to making turns for my characters, tysm for making it🙇🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️

I'd like to add, another example of drawing side profiles to their likeness and not to geometric perfection is the 3D animated Peanuts movie! Pretty much every character's facial features move around depending on what limited angle they're in to capture the same likeness of them from the comics and shows. Just thought that was neat :))

I never knew how involved character turnarounds are but makes sense to set a foundation to start. I struggle with 3/4 back views 😅 Would love to see more of your cool villain!

Drawing a top view to get the persp of the 3/4 view is so 5 head. This vids a keeper holy, and yes, model sheet video would be appreciated

this is so useful! I'll have to rewatch the 3/4 view tip a few times and try it out for myself. I get hung up on planning turnarounds because I think they're hard or boring ( i

In general I think that your art + animations are really cool, but I especially like the way you draw hair! It has so much dimention and personallity. Keep making cool videos!

thanks for making such a precise and to the point tutorial. no fluff just info and super easy to follow. can't wait to draw turnarounds of all my characters now

Love this concept for your character. She gives this vibe of antihero and I’m rooting for it. Thank you for this tutorial! It is straightforward with the right information. I always had errors with my proportions so I’m gonna give this method a shot. Keep drawing

Gosh I love her hair and the orange glow I love her already!!!

It's funny that my process is sort of the opposite--- I sculpt my characters in 3D using Blender and then use that model for my drawing reference when I'm creating comic boards. Uploading the 3D models to Mixamo to get my characters in a specific pose also really helps. But I've also run into having to alter features slightly for better likeness, so my technique definitely isn't perfect.

As far as I can see, UKposts Gods has finally paid attention to your channel, but still, you deserve so much more! The quality of your educational shorts is outstanding

I do the most things myself, and yes you are right with the lines to line up the features, it helps a lot to draw every part in the correct place.😊

Man! Thanks for this video, I've been struggling with 3/4 views on my character turnarounds for ages and this is really helpful.

i think this is the best turnaround tutorial i've ever seen, not only explaining what to do but why you do it or how it works i'm going into 3D work as a hobby so this will definitely help with building a believable character 🙏

This is such a helpful video! It would be great I think to expand more on the 3/4 view technique because this is the first time I've seen this and I'm honestly a little lost on how to approach it.

bro thanks, this is one of the best videos I have seen. you explained everything under 5 mins.

Thank you for explaining what character turnarounds are and how to make them. Your art is amazing

This video is awesome! I really needed this, thank you so much! The animations that go along the video give so much life to the video, they are so beautiful!

Ooh, I never thought of doing a top down view to make the 3/4 angles! Very cool idea, I'll have to give that a try sometime. Thanks for the helpful tips!

Absolutely enraged that I can’t spam the like button and have all of them go through. Thank you so, so much! Friendly, concise, educational, and that tip with the top view translating to 3/4 absolutely blew my mind! I never would have thought of it! I’m about to give two of my designs glow-ups and can’t wait to try this.

Incredible video! Super happy Im being recommended so many underrated art videos

I love ur artstyle ! SO dynamic ! Ur chracter is so cool too !

Duuuude, I've never thought about picturing the 3/4 by making a top view and rotating it. It changes the whole game, thank you so much!

This QUICKLY became one of my all time favorite youtube art tutorial. My aunt worked for DIC MARVEL MTV liquid television. Sonic the hedgehog. Denver the last dinosaur…Johnny quest…silver surfer…x-men,,,Iron Man…anyways the drawing sheets and character turnarounds of the The sonic the hedgehog serious..like the serious dramatic series not the goof ball one. Just Those diagrams of yours are just so damn beautiful thanks you for making this and it was entertaining

Your videos are godly, please don't stop making them! As for a beginner character designer, this is extremely helpful

Really love your art style! You are incredibly talented and explain things perfectly! Just started getting back into drawing cartoons and you've already provided some good pointers. Subbed and look forward to all future videos!

This was soooo good. There isn't anything that I've found that is as useful as this video is for turnarounds. Thank you!

I just came back here to say that the two animations at :19 and 3:16 are jaw-droppingly good. Would love to see how you created those - any rough sketches, keyframes, breakdowns, timing charts, etc. That's some Marc Davis level stuff!!!

As a 3D artist in constant need of references - THANK YOU

I love the way you explain the process, very underrated. Also your character deserves her own show very badass!

I am so happy for finding this tutorial 😭😭🫶🏾 giving us visual examples with an gorgeous animation made it so satisfying to watch. Thank you very very much🙏🏽

Aaaaa I wish I saw this sooner!! I've been getting into animation and started making sheets for my characters, I'm definitely going to follow your advices, it's brilliant!!

Great video, I love it, subbed and liked - excited to see more!

ferociously helpful and brilliant content. Thanks, Joshua!

This helps so much! I hated having to do turn arounds cuz to me it was a pain in the arse and because of a bunch of details i had to put in the character. I wished the algorithm wouldve reccomended me this video while i was still taking charcter design class.

That was amazing! I always struggle with putting together turnarounds that are actually gonna be useful for my 3D modeling process, so thanks for all the tips :] Would love to see a vid about character sheets

Great value, this is so on point! Love something on character sheets - Keep rockin' Joshua!

First time watching your channel. Clear, instantly useful and straightforward. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!

just discovered your channel and I absolutely love the way your videos are short, but contain so much information. instant subscribe!

Fantastic tutorial. Definitely picked up some things

Came here from the model sheet video. Another great video and no audio issues this time. Guessing the other was a fluke. Thanks for the tips

Excellent lesson, for beginners and experienced cartoonists alike. Clear, precise, thank you for these precious tips. By the way, Ember is captivating, I'd like to see more of her. I appreciate your work.

why does bro only have 491 subscribers??? this is quality teaching

Thank you for your tutorial ! Im applying to the gobelins this year and i hope my turnaround will make my portfolio a lil better 👍

Yo! That's some quality content man. Subscribed without a second thought💯

Great character design. I will be following to see more of this!!

One piece of advice I've gotten from an industry professional that helped a lot was when it comes to turnarounds, sometimes looking good is more important than looking accurate. If Mickey only had a single ear on his side profile, he'd look weird as hell.

Great tutorial and yes to model sheet! Character concept art are among my favorite things to analyze and appteciate 😍

Thanks for the video. The bit about Belle was really eyeopening 👌

Would love to see how you do a model sheets. I'm also curious on how you would explain what types of shapes and forms are used in Anime vs Western Animation. The top view tip is definitely something I wasn't aware of and will try it out on my next turn-around pieces. Thanks for creating a great video!!

Very underrated channel ❤ , and btw i love the character ember , I'd like to see her more, the design of the character is unique 😉

Yes to the model sheets‼️

I just found your page and I am excited for these tutorials! The biggest thing I struggle with is timing. Could you break down how you time out an animation?

dude you are a legend simple as that! thank you for this video!

Joshua, beautifully explained. It was very clever to apply the geometry projection technique to an organic shape. Than for sharing it. Since now I’m subscribed to your channel. 🎉
