Her repertoire of tutorials on how to draw figures and faces is stellar, and unlike the others, all her videos have subs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/08\/1080-Archipel-Image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-812607\" title=\"Archipel\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/08\/1080-Archipel-Image.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/08\/1080-Archipel-Image-980x414.jpg 980w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/08\/1080-Archipel-Image-480x203.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1080px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honorable mention: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ArchipelDocumentaries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Archipel<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ArchipelDocumentaries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Archipel <\/a>isn\u2019t an instructional channel, but a series of beautifully-shot documentaries on Japanese creators of all stripes, including a gamut of anime and manga artists.
