Sketch Recycling: Fixing a 2022 Face Drawing with Proper Anatomy (Mary)

Описание: Sketch Recycling: Fixing a 2022 Face Drawing with Proper Anatomy (Mary)

In this video, I revisit an older 2022 sketch and walk through how I diagnose and fix face anatomy issues using simple structural checks, erasing, and redraws.

This isn’t about starting over — it’s about seeing what’s wrong, understanding why, and fixing it.

I cover:
• Facial depth and profile alignment
• Eye placement and proportional corrections
• Chin, mouth, and nose relationship
• Why drawings “feel wrong” even before you know the rule
• Traditional sketch repair techniques
• A bonus hair construction lesson using my Paper & Ribbon Hair Method

If you have old sketches you’re unsure about, this process will help you see them differently — and fix them instead of throwing them away.

📍 PINNED COMMENT (SOFT CTA, NON-CRINGE)

Ever look at an old drawing and feel something’s wrong… but can’t explain why?

That feeling is real — and fixable.

If this sketch recycling process helped you see old work differently, I’m doing a lot more of these.
Stick around — future videos go deeper into anatomy, structure, and repair techniques.

💬 FIRST REPLY (ENGAGEMENT SEED)

Quick question for you —
Do you usually redraw old sketches, or do you leave them behind and move on?

I’m curious how other artists handle this.
