Few things in this world successfully walk the delicate balance between being cute and creepy; innocent and sinister.

"Ghost Dogs" is one of those things.

Hi so I wanna know if any good ways to draw humans because when I try to draw them, they come out weird look but at the same time I also find any type of people boring and ugly to draw and I feel kinda bad because it, so if you have any tip to fix this problem I'll be every thankful.

btw I like art, it's really good

(Sorry it took so long to answer this; it's just one of those questions that requires a thorough response.)

Thanks! I guess the first step is unpacking what specifically you find boring about drawing them. But it never hurts to know how to exaggerate expressions. You may have heard the phrase "squash and stretch" in an animation context, but you can also apply it when you're drawing faces.

I mentioned this in a previous post as well, but tilting the facial axis even a little bit will make the drawing so much more lifelike than it would have been otherwise.

It also helps to think of a particular expression you enjoy drawing. I'm partial to forced smiles, personally. It's a fun contrast when the mouth says one thing while the eyes say something entirely different.

In addition, it's okay to "cheat" facial anatomy a bit if you need to. Something I figured out recently is that expressions can have more life and appeal if you draw the mouth before the nose. Mapping out realistic proportions in how the nose relates to the other facial features is all well and good. But of all the features, the nose has the least to do with expressing emotion, so it's okay to de-emphasize it as needed.

You may also be familiar with the "straights against curves" concept, but I find it very useful in making human anatomy more fun to draw, especially for arms and legs.

And I don't know about you, but I've always found the idea of drawing the same pretty face and petite body over and over about as exciting as reading the phone book. Some variety keeps things interesting not just for artists, but for viewers as well.

If you're better at drawing animals, why not draw some humans inspired by animals? That can result in some pretty unique-looking faces.

(The movie "The Triplets of Belleville" is a good example of this, featuring certain characters with a symbolic link to horses and one character who was clearly modeled after a mouse. It also has an intriguing, caricature-like art style in general, making everyone look simultaneously elegant and repulsive.)

You say your humans come out weird-looking? Embrace the weird. That's a great way to set your work apart from everything else out there. Joe Cappa is a prime example of this. His purposefully amateurish and at times off-putting art style is a perfect fit for the offbeat humor in his videos. He's created his own unique flavor of animation and I adore him for it.

Sure, it's important to know the rules of anatomy before you break them, but where's the fun in pressuring yourself to produce a perfect drawing every time? Where's the fun in doing every single thing by the book without leaving any room for play or experimentation? Don't be afraid to get abstract now and then. Think of it not so much as drawing people, but drawing emotions.

Hope that helps!

because i have an incessant need to curate lists....

i feel like short films, in general, get sort of overlooked. so for halloween, here are some horror/horror-adjacent recommendations. i split the list between animation and live action, and i ordered them by length. also, a general tw: blood, gore, etc... not all of them have any of that, but just a heads up.
