Hello, I'm Amelie.

I started drawing with a pencil when I was sixteen, initially focusing on pencil drawing classes. During these early years, I developed a strong foundation in portrait drawing, figure drawing, and facial features design. I also honed my skills in working with colored pencils, ink pens, and watercolors. These diverse experiences have given me a comprehensive understanding of various techniques and styles.

As my interest grew, I discovered a passion for character design and animation, which led me to pursue professional character design classes. My university education in the field of animation further deepened my expertise. At the age of twenty-four, I began teaching character drawing with a pencil, combining my knowledge of traditional drawing techniques... See full profile

1. Introduction: Are you passionate about drawing and looking for a solid foundation in portrait sketching? This beginner friendly class is designed to introduce you to the essentials of drawing facial features. Throughout the lessons, you'll learn how to sketch individual features such as eyes, noses, lips. And ears with clarity and accuracy using simple pencil techniques. Well, then bring everything together by exploring the proportions of the entire face and creating a complete portrait. This class is the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to build confidence in drawing faces and develop a strong base for more advanced portrait work. Before we want to start our work, I'm just going to tell you about the tools that we need for our work. It's just a usual etched eraser, a normal pencil, and a basic pencil. So with only these three tools, we are going to start our work. So let's go. 2. How to draw a lip: Hello to all of my dear friends and welcome to a new chapter of sketching Tutorial with me. But this time, we are going to see how we can sketch a face. First of all, I'm going to tell you how you can create different parts of a phase. And then at last, we are going to place all different kinds of face parts together and have a face. Okay? So that's what we are going to do during this whole chapter. We are also going to tell you how you can place them right next to each other, aside from sketching them individually. Okay, so let's start together. In the first part, we are going to work on one of the face parts, which is the mouth or more specifically the lips. So just right in the beginning, I create a straight line, a horizontal straight line. Okay. Now, over here, first, we should create two ovals which are actually kind of sideways, and they're kind of sleeping on the line. So it's very easy up to here. And between my two ovals, I create a circle Okay. Now I've got the exact same thing as the ones that I did above my line. But this time my ovals look like this, and they look a bit more like circles. So I determine the beginning and the end of our lips or better say the two corners of the lips. Now, with the help of these geometrical shapes that I've created earlier, I'm going to create the shape of my beautiful lips. And then little by little, we're going to pay attention and take care of the details. So you start very generally, and then we add more details to them. So, for example, I've got a curve here on the top of the lips. I sketch it a bit more, then I calm down. Then exactly similar to that side, I do on this side, keep that in mind that your lips should look symmetrical on both sides. So don't forget that. Whatever you do on one side, you should do it on the other side. Then I go over this line, I come up and down on the circle and then go up again, which creates the line between the lips for me. And then again on the corner, I come toured up a little bit more. This is our upper lip. Now let's see what we can do for the lower lip. Between these two circles that I've created, I create a curved in part, then I create a part coming out and then I bring it again, toward up creating the quarter. Well, the shape of the lips are very general, but based on the face that you're sketching, based on the other face parameters, you can choose how big you want your mouth to be or how thick you want your lips to be. So I raise these extra shapes inside of the mouth, and then I start shading the lips, so the lips would actually get a volume as well, so I can show that in some parts, they are more prominent, and in some others, they're not. For example, over here, we've got some darker shades near the lip lines then from here, I'll do the same thing. Basically, for shading the lips, you should keep that in mind. You should notice that we are going to shade darker around the edges, and then we are going to keep it light in the center because the center of the lips are usually more popped out and more prominent. Another thing that you should keep in mind is that you should fade all of your lines toward your negative space or your inner space of your work. So we do not Actually, we shouldn't have any specific lines or borders in our sketching. All of our lines should be definitely faded by shades and mix and fade into the whole thing. Okay. As I told you, I'm going to dark. I'm going to shade darker around the edges and on the side of the lips. And as I move toward the center of the lip, I make it lighter to show that the center of the lip or the middle parts of it are, you know, more prominent. That's how we do it. Okay. Now, right from here, we should start shading again in this direction. And you should also pay attention to the direction that you're shading because that direction actually shapes the volume, the directed volume of your lip. You know what I mean? You should show that it's kind of around, and it goes up in around shape. So that's what you should do. I also do the same thing from this area at the top part of the lower lip. You should be careful about that, too. All right. Now, again, I say, the thing that you should pay attention to is that on both sides, we should have the focus of our darkness, and in the center, you should have less darkness, and you should actually work more with the lights. So we can also have a good volume for our work. See? So the focuses are mostly on the corners of the lips and also near the line between the lips. So all in all, most of the edges and sides of the lips. And at the same time that I'm doing the shading, I'm also trying to fade all of the lines that I have left in my work specifically. So I'm just trying to fade all of them as much as I can and just blend them into the rest of my work. For this part, below your lower lip, you should also create another shape so you can clearly show that your lip is actually coming out of the face. You know, the whole mouth is more prominent, and this shade below the lower lip just emphasizes on that fact that we have a dip right below our lower lip, and then we've also got a dent above our upper lip too, then I'm going to create that later as well. So when you do that, you are actually separating the mouth or the lips from this whole area, which is the thing that you should do. As I told you, we also have another curved in part. Dent over here above the lips. So above the upper lip mostly. It can also have a better volume over here, you see? It's really like it's coming out of the paper even. It's been separated from its background. Okay, I also don't forget about the corner lines of the lips. Okay. Let's move to work on another way of sketching the lip. Let's see. Maybe this time, I want the lips to be sketched in a way that we can see a bit between them. We can even see a bit of the teeth, so the lips are a little open. They're not totally closed. Okay. Now, this time, I also want to create the lips in a way that they are almost in a three faces view. So this is the open parts between the lips that I've created with this oval here, and then I create the rest of the geometrical shapes here. I place my circle here, an oval on top of it, one on this side, and one on this other side. As you can see, one of my ovals are showing bigger is showing bigger and more stretched because as I told you, my face is a little turned this time. Then I should determine the ending part or better say the corners of my lips and my mouth. That's why I go from here to the sides. And then on the lower lip, I should create two bigger ovals because the lower lip is a bit more stretched. And again, they're sideways, not totally straight. Okay. Now, let's start shaping the lip, the lower part of the upper lip. I also have a shape like this going up. And then from the top of my upper lip, I have a heart shape, we call it. And then I come down toward the corner of the lip Okay. Now, I do the exact same thing. On this other side, again, I emphasize on the fact that you should pay attention that your lips should be totally symmetrical. Even if they are sideways, I mean, the shape should be symmetrical. Maybe the sizes are a bit different because of the perspective and so on. But the sizes should be symmetrical. For example, the thickness and stuff like that. Then I've created the teeth between them, and then I want to work on the lower lip from here on. Then from the sides of this oval, I continue to work up my lower lip. And then I'll also do the same thing on this other side. And on the bottom of my lower lip, I also create a small little curve, and then I connect it to this other side as well. Okay. Here we go. Okay. Now, I'm just going to erase these extra lines from inside of my work. So I can show the main sketch better to you, and you will get, you know, confused, as well. And, of course, I want to start shading it, so it should be pretty clean. I don't want any unnecessary lines or shapes there. First of all, I'm going to shade this part completely dark because it shows inside of the mouth right next to the teeth. Okay, now, I start from this corner of the lip. And then I start my shadings right from here. Then I also work on these edges And as I told you in the previous session, the previous part, better say, we should definitely fade all of the lines that we have in our work. We do not need any specific or separate lines in our work, in our sketches, in anything that we're creating and shading. Okay. As you can see, I'm just doing the same thing. And also from here. As I told you before, we have two prominent parts on the lower lip, so I just try to keep them really light by shading all around them, mostly on the corners and a little bit in the middle. Just a touch, see? Don't forget you should shade the whole thing, but it's the intensity of the shading and the amount of your darkness that shows which parts are more curved in and which parts are more prominent. That's what we're doing right here. Okay. We're almost done. As I told you don't forget to shade below your lips and above them, to separate them from their background and show that they're popping out from the face or your paper. So very easily, we created these to be beautiful lips and mouth. I hope you've enjoyed it. You've learned it and practice over and over to get the result that you want see in the next part with next face parts. 3. How to draw an ear: Hello again and welcome to a new part of Tutorial or Face Mart tutorial with me. Okay. This episode, we are going to work on the nose sketching and the ear sketching. So First of all, I'm going to start with sketching the nose, and let's see how we can do that. First, for creating a nose very easily. First of all, we create a circle. See? This would be the circle. Okay. After that, you've created your circle. Just create two kind of lines going up. But as they go up, they should be also a bit curved toward the center. The curve should not be too much. It's just a normal no, so the curve is not too much. We just want to create a natural nose. That's how we do it. Now, another thing that we should do is that we should divide the circle into half horizontally. Then again, I divide the lower half into two parts. Now, this place would be the placement of the nostrils like this. Okay. This area would be the nose tip. The ending part of the nose bridge, which is actually our nose tip, the most ending part of our nose. Okay. Then let's work on the sides of the nose and the nostrils, as I told you. These sides of the nose are exactly looking like parenthesis. I'll do the same thing over here, just like that. Okay. Now, how much I should just continue the volume of the nose sides, they should just form a triangle together. So the sides of my nose will come all the way up until they hit the nose bridge. See? For example, they would be finished here and Okay. So these would also be shaded. Don't worry about it. We finish the lines there, and then later we shade the sides of the nose and nostrils and attaching them to the nose bridge. Okay, now, if I want to divide it like this and also I drag it up like here, this part of the nose would be the very tip of the nose, which would be the most prominent part of my nose and which leads to be the brightest part or the lightest part of the nose. So based on these facts, we should just complete the nose and start shading it. So you should also connect these two parts together, and then we can start our shading. Okay, let's start. First of all, in the shadings, I start from the darkest parts of my work. So, of course, in the nose, the nostrils would be the darkest parts that we can start our shading with. And as I move on, I try to fade this darkness into the upper parts of the nose, also fading the lines. Okay. Now, right. From the darkness that I've created here, I try to shade toward that circle that I've determined as a tip of my nose. But as I'm doing it, I try to fade it more and more because that part is the lightest part of the nose. I also do the same thing from the sides. You see? Also I'm doing it from this side, moving towards center and fading it. Now, beneath these parts should definitely be darker because we want to show that depth inside of the nostrils and also the separation of the nose from the face and other parts. It also pops out, so we should do that. Okay, so try to getting the nose similar and symmetrical on both sides. But the point that you should pay attention to is that the faces are different from each other. So what we're saying here is only about the basics of each face part, but they're going to be much different in each face. Then right from here from the side of the nose, I start shading it and connecting it to the nose bridge going all up and I'm shading in the exact same direction of the step of my nose bridge. So this way, I can have a better volumizing in my work. I can give him better volumes and better shapes. And as I told you, the shades of the nose should just continue all the way up to the top of the nose bridge. Okay. I've got right over here. And I'll just try to work on each one of the darkness that I'm working in my nose and fade each one of them with the lines, blending them together, and at the same time, I'm paying attention to the direction of them and also the placement of them because in the center of my nose bridge and on my nose tip, I should keep it lighter comparing to the sights. So that's exactly what I do here. As I told you, I'm also shading a bit on the side of the nose itself, so I can separate it from the background. You see? I also shade the center part, but it would be very, very light. I don't want to leave it white. Okay. Now, for the bones on both sides of my nose *****, I'm actually getting the volume of the nose pretty well. Then I also shade this area on the nose tip, making it even darker just below here. And I'm getting the volume of my nose perfectly, you can see. Okay. Just like that. Very easily. I'm just mint. Okay. Here it is. It's all shaping very well together. Then from this ending part of the nose, I also bring a darkness upwards just to make the shape better and more complete. Then I also shade a little tour downward as well. So this is the completion of the nose, and we've sketched a nose in the easiest way possible, and we shade it. Now, let's start working and sketching the ear together. Just like the previous parts, we are going to start with geometrical shapes. The whole shape of the ear looks like a peanut or a nine number. You see? It can be a six or nine depends on how you're looking at it. But anyway, the whole shape and the general shape of it looks like that. Now, from this semicircle that I'm coming in, I just go in from the center of it, from the middle of it exactly like a nine. From here, I'm going to connect to this bottom part as well. It looks like a beam now. Okay. Okay? Now, again, I make the general shape of this ear a bit more deformed because I don't want it to be totally with the straight lines. No ear looks like that. You know, I want it to be more realistic, so from here that I went in, let me erase it. From here that I went in, it's just like I'm creating the same shape, but in an inner layer. So we can say that 80% of the ears look like each other, but they've got some different details, but the general shape of them is the same mostly. Unless it's broken or something, you know. Okay. Also, from here, I come toward inside to create the ears whole, and it comes back again. F over here, it's got a bump, and it goes toward the inside again. Looking like this. Okay. Now, we finish this part together. And then I've also got a prominent shape over here. Well, definitely, it's going to show that it's prominent after the shading, but now I'm just creating the shapes of them. Okay. If it's too hard for you, you can also place a model in front of you, a picture of an ear to get the lines maybe a little better, but do a simple one. Don't get the complicated ones. Okay. Now let's start our shading together. First of all, I just want to shade the ears lines toward the negative space around it in order to just fade the lines out of it. Okay. You see? This way I'm separating the whole ear from its background with shading toward the negative space on the lines on the edges. They'll do the job. Trust me. Okay. Now I would also shade this part a little bit more, just a bit making it better background. Now I would also like to work on these deep parts here. And then I move the darkness toward the lights just like that. I'm starting my shading on the darkest areas and then I move them toward the light, decreasing my hand pressure in order to get the lighter shades there. Okay. These parts are really curved in, so they should be really dark. And obviously, over here, we get to the ear hole. So what do you think? Of course, it should be definitely and strongly dark. Okay. I would go like this. Then I also shade the lighter areas a bit more, just to give them a color, not to leave them totally white and unshaded. Because I want the whole package to be shaded. I want them to look cohesive, you know. So this way, they turn from a surface to a volume. That's how we do it. Shading the prominent parts lightly and the deep parts darkly. Okay. So here is a general normal basic ear. Again, I say, each one of these body parts can be different in different phases, but it's good for you to train and practice on these basic shape so you can get a hang of them and you can actually be more skillful about the body parts sketching. See you in next part and in next tutorials about the rest of the pace. A 4. How to draw an eye: Hello to all of my dear friends. Welcome to a new part of this face sketching tutorial with me. Okay, in this part, we are going to work on the last part of the face, which is obviously the eye. So for creating an eye, first of all, we need to consider the eyeball. Sure. Our eyeball is looking like a ball, of course. Basically, our eye is created by an eyeball, eyelids, iris and cnia. Or people. Now, if I separate this eyeball into two parts right from the center and like this from here, you see, this is the shape of an eye. Okay, now, right here in front, I've got the inner corner of the eye, which is the place of there are tears coming down, and then I bring it up in order to create the whole eyelet. I'll do the same thing for the lower eyelid and keeping it close at the end to make the outer corner of the eye. Again, I emphasize that each person's eye is different, but you try to just make it as similar as possible. This is a general shape. Now, over here would be our upper eyelid. And over here on the lower part, we've got the lower eyelid, obviously. Now, if you close the inner corner of the eye and we already close the outer corner, how can we place the pupil inside of the eye? See, basically, inside of the eye, we have the place for the size of two pupils. So, we should place this pupil in a way that the rest of the area should actually include another pupil in itself if it wants. In the centre of our pupil, I've got the iris. Okay. Now, the lower part is here. Let me just make this into a lane here. This lane is the eye gum or the placement of the eyelashes to grow out of it. I have the same thing for the upper eyelid as well, but you can only see the upper eyelids gum or the placement of the eyelashes growth. You can only see them in a position that the eye is looking up and you're looking down from it. You're seeing it from below, and the eye is looking up. That's the only way you can see them. This is the behind the eyelid. And again, I say, it's different for each person. So you should do it based on the face that you are going to work on. Okay. Now we should also work on the eyebrows, too. They start from this inner corner of the eye. Then with a distance and with a space between the eye and the eyebrow, I take the eyebrow higher and then it will start to grow like this. Also, again, I insist on the fact that even the eyebrow shape is different based on each model. Okay. Now let's do more of the detailing and say shading of this eyes model. So first of all, let me take this. I consider a light inside of the pupil like this, and then I color the rest of the iris totally dark. Then I fade this darkness toward the sides of my IRS or better say throughout the pupil. You see, I'm just fading this darkness. Now, from the sights, I move toward the center of the pupil. And it would look like this. Here we go. Okay, now we cannot see this icon, but still, this is the eyelid and it has some eyelashes on it. So I'm going to shade it dark, and it is also going to create a dark shade toward the whiteness of the eyeball. I also give the eyeball a little shade from the surroundings. I don't want to leave it too white. So I try to keep the shine inside of the eye, as well. I also should create some wines in sight of the eye. Okay. Now I want to work on the lower eyelet. Then I just leave a lighter space in our lower eyelid gum, and then I start shading the rest of the eyelet. Again, obviously, it's darker on the corners and then lighter in the center. As we move on, the center would be lighter, of course, and the sides are darker. So we can have a better volumes. Then I faded toward the corners and toward the negative space, of course. I also consider darkness to separate the lower eyelet, and then I do the same thing for the upper eyelet. Again, first, I just do a general shade to blend it over, and then I'm going to work on the details a bit more. Of course, I'm going to say the prominent part less as usual, in order to show that it's prominent. Okay. Then moving up, I try to guide the shade until I hit this bone above the eye, and I would even have less hand pressure there and also less shade. These parts should be darker because they are more deep and curved in. Okay. Now let's start working on the eye lashes there. For the eyelashes, make sure that the tip of your pencil is totally sharp because we need very sharp lines for our eyelashes. Okay. Then with your sharp pencil, start creating your eyelashes from the outer corner of the eye. One of them would come right on top and the other would go right under. The whole principle and the whole rule of creating the eyelashes is this. One of them is coming out from the top and one of them is coming out from below until I get to the center, and as I got to the center, I change the direction and the angle of the eyelashes, and I even decrease the number of them as well. And also, I make them shorter. Okay. Now, for this lower part, I'll do the same thing. But of course, these eyelashes are shorter. I don't start my eyelashes from inside of my eye. I do them from this gum or here, as I told you, this lane, which is the placement of the eyelashes to grow in. And again, as it gets to the inner corner of the eye, it gets less and also shorter. Okay. Just like that, I finished with the lower eyelid. And let's just work on better eyebrows for it. For the eyebrows, it's the same thing. For both eyebrows and the eyelashes, try to make lines which are sharp at both ends, starting sharp and then letting go of your hand at the end of them. That makes your lines to be sharp at both ends. So it would be less darkness on the ending part. And in the center of the eyebrow, which is the focus of the growth of the eyebrow, we would definitely have darker shades and darker lines, which means we have more lines and making them darker. Okay. That will be the crown of the eyebrow, the beginning part of it, basically. And it would go lighter again, 'cause it gets actually to a part, which is, you know, we have less concentration of the eyebrows there, soo. Again, we get back to the last outps and the last shading that we should actually apply here on the eyelet or above the eyelet in order to make the volume of our eye even better and more than this. For these parts, I'm just going to use a bit more of shading. And shaping the whole eye. As you can see, it's coming together more and more as we proceed, don't worry about its initial shape. Never do. And as it goes, that will be the outer corner of the eye. Again, we get to the concentration of the eyelashes, making them better and more. Okay, don't forget to shade this area. I'm doing some last touch ups. No anything major. Okay, here we go. Just like that. And here we've got our beautiful eye. Add some more darkness here, placement that our eyelashes have grown. Again, I want to add some more eyelashes here. And that's it. Again, I say that so many of eyes are different in many shapes. The eyes, the eyebrows, the eyelashes, the pupils can be much different from each other. But this that we have touch you here is a very basic and general shape of an eye. So these are all the face parts, and now we are going to see how we can put them right next to each other. So follow us in next parts. 5. Facial proportions: Hello to all of my dear friends and welcome to one of the last parts of creating face parts together. Okay. Today we are going to know about the proportions of the face parts. I mean, how eyes are going to be placed next to each other, based on what balance and what sizes. Okay. First of all, the face is being created from a circle, so first, I'm going to create a circle. Just try to be really clean and neat around the circle just like this. Okay. Now, another thing that you should know that the face that I'm working for you on right now is in a full front view. Okay, after I've created my circle, I divided it into two parts I divided it into half right in the middle horizontally. You see? I have two semi horizontal circles. Now, with a little distance from the top of my circle, I create another line and again, I divide this area and separate here. Then I'll do the exact same thing from the bottom. So with the same distance that I considered for the top, I come from the bottom and I separate this area. Okay, then exactly as the size of this part that I've got here, I come down and I create another line on the bottom of the circle or basically below the circle. Okay, now. Now let's place our face parts here. This would be the placement of the hair. This is the placement where the hair of my character will be placed. Okay. Now, Over here would be the placement of the eyebrows. Then with a bit of distance below the eyebrows, I create another line in order to create the isolator. Okay. Now. Let's see. From here until here, it's actually a placement for creating even five eyes. So I just divide this area into five different parts because in this space between the right to the left, I can place five eyes. Three, four and five. Okay. Now, between the two eyes, we should have a distance as the size of one eye. So it's like we're placing three eyes next to each other, but we omit the middle one. So first I placed my eyebrows here this line was the line for our eyebrows. This is their placement. And so here would be the eyebrow part. I'll do the same thing on this side, trying to create a symmetrical shape. Okay, here we go. Okay. Now. This is the eyebrow line and this would be the ending of the ear. The ear with a start on the eye line and it comes up to the part that we have our eyebrows and then it comes down until the end of this line, this line is for our nose. We've got the nose here. So we've got the placement of the eyebrows, the ears, and even the noes. So onto the end of this part would be the nose area. Sorry, the ear area. I finish my ears right there. Okay. Now, the shape of the face as it starts from here, would come up it goes out a little bit based on the hair that we've created. I also have volume. Then I also complete it over here on the forehead, and then I bring it down to the sides right next to the ears. Okay, so this is a hair coming down to the ears. From here is the beginning of our jaw and over there would be the ending part of our jaw and our face or basically our chin area. So here we've also created the junk. This is a general shape of our face. You see? We've also created the nose. We've placed the ears in the wrong placement in the wrong position. Okay. So that's the shape of the ears, placing right next to the head, beginning from the eyeline and ending on the nosline. This was the eyeline. So this is where I should place my eyes, as I told you. Just remember to put a one eye size space in between them. So it would be there is not visible eye between our two eyes. Okay. I also create a pupil form easily. Okay. Now let's work on the mouth. You see my dear friends? This is, which is the ending part of your circle. This line exactly on the bottom of your circle is the placement of your lips. So I create my model's lips and basically the mouth right over here on the bottom of my premiere and first circle. Now, something that you should pay attention to is that this is the ending part of the nose, and the signs of the nose is as the amount as we've got the inner corner of the eye, you see? As I move up my nose, it should go toward the inner corner of the eye. But again, I should tell you that some people's faces are different, some might have longer or more stretched chins, travier face or bigger nose or smaller nose. So these can be really different, but in the basic shape that I'm just telling you about right now, this is the most basic face you can create. That's the placement of everything. Now, for example, the size of the mouth would be as the center of the eyes. You see, if I come down from both center of my eyes, I can get both corners of my lips. That will be the size of the mouth, the size of the lips. And then over here, I've got the chin. See, I was really easy to create a face with correct proportions. You just have to pay attention to them and do them for several times in order to remember them and hack them in your memory. Now, I'm just going to add a bit more details, for example, to the ears, creating some shapes inside of them. Just like that. Okay. Now, we've also got the eyes. I'm going to darken the pupil, so it can be seen better, of course. Also, maybe add a bit of details to the nostrils, darken them. Then also on the size of the nose and bringing up the nose bridge a little. That's the nose tip. Then again, I work on the lips, also on the lower one and the chin. Here we go. Now, as I told you, the general shape of all faces and a very basic face would be like this. So first, you should create the basic shape of the whole face, and then you can actually shade it or create ok. And then you can add as many details as you like, and you can create your character based on the reference that you're creating it from. So just remember before you start sketching your face, you should analyze your reference, your model, and then really look deep into the details of that pace and then when you're creating the general shape, if anything needs to be bigger or smaller, longer or shorter, you create them and then adding the details make them really, really similar. So don't worry about it. You just have to work on your observation on your reference and also creating basic faces or different ones several times. So that you remember where everything goes and how big everything goes. Let me also tell you about the neck. The neck size would be actually as the width of the head. You shouldn't create necks like this. It's totally wrong. It shouldn't be that thin. The neck is actually as the size of the width of the head. The width of the neck is the width of the head. So this would be the neck and I can even create some kind of clothes for him like this. Okay. We've got the color going around his neck, bringing out the shoulders from here, and as you can see, our character has came up together. I hope you would enjoy this part, which was the last part of principles and basics of the face parts. Let's see in the next exciting tutorials, which are mostly about creating a whole character together. Let's follow and enjoy. A
