RATING TIKTOK TUTORIALS ?

Introduction

There’s nothing quite like rekindling an old flame, and for me, that flame is TikTok. Today, I'll be diving into the world of TikTok art tutorials. These aren't just tips; we’re talking about full-on how-to guides. Buckle up because it’s going to be an interesting ride!

Anatomy Tutorial: Gravity Organs and Childbirthing Hips

Our first tutorial dives right into anatomy. The video suggests ribs don't exist and focuses on exaggerated features like childbirthing hips. This one’s quite a spectacle, earning it a 1 out of 10.

Face Shape Tutorial: Circle and Triangle

The second tutorial boasts 1.4 million likes but leaves much to be desired. The creator's process involves oversimplified shapes and steps, leading me to give this tutorial a generous 5 out of 10.

Simplification Lesson: Less is More

Next, we have a tutorial teaching that less is more, using minimalistic strokes to create a detailed face. This effective lesson earns a perfect 10 out of 10.

Parody Tutorial: Don’t and Do

A classic "gotcha" tutorial that flips the script. It is meant to entertain and educate but misses the mark for me. I rate it 3 out of 10.

Stylized Head Tutorial

Drawing a face with a hammerhead-shark-like appearance isn't common, but it's stylized and unique. Despite its unconventional style, the tutorial is quite informative. It scores a solid 10 out of 10.

Pencil Shading

A tutorial on the importance of pencil shading techniques, advising against using the pencil tip too directly. Although the method presented works, my high school teacher's method of circular motion for smoother shading is more effective. This one earns a 7 out of 10, mainly for the time it takes to develop the skill.

Overly Aesthetic Noses

This tutorial serves more as a process showcase than an educational piece. I’m not convinced that traditional nose shapes are wrong. Hence, it gets a 5 out of 10.

Artistic Expressions on Napkins

An adorable tutorial encouraging students to draw expressions and characters even on napkins. This tutorial brought back fond memories, earning it a nostalgic high score.

Dynamic Body Tutorial

A creative and dynamic approach to drawing bodies earns this tutorial a perfect 10 out of 10.

Cat-like Side Profiles in Anime

This tutorial associates stylized human characters with cat features and effectively explains the technique. It’s a valuable piece for anyone into anime-style art.

Abstract Drawing: Ovals Around Ovals

An abstract art process that’s hard to comprehend, but well-documented, makes this a solid 10 out of 10 for clarity.

Drawing Diverse Faces

A video targeting the misconception that some faces are too hard to draw. This powerful tutorial gets high marks for promoting inclusivity.

Eye Angle Tutorial

A tutorial on drawing eyes from different angles that’s both creative and practical. It could benefit from more curvature in some illustrations but scores a perfect 10 out of 10 for its unique approach.

Mickey Mouse Ears Misstep

A head tutorial goes awry with ears resembling Mickey Mouse rather than human ears. Despite a good start, it ends up with an 8 out of 10.

Conclusion

It’s been a fun reunion with TikTok. While some tutorials were perplexing, many were genuinely useful. If you want to see more content like this, subscribe to my channel. Batman’s got some Batman things to do now. See you next time!
