Binge Drawing
Добавлен 19 фев 2022
Hello! I’m Ammar and I am obsessed with drawing portraits.
For the past two years, I have been teaching myself how to draw and making an effort to make art consistently. I love to document what I learn about drawing on my art blog and I'll be sharing snippets from my art journey here!

Exercises that TRANSFORMED my Portrait Drawing
When I got back to drawing two years ago, my portrait drawings lacked structure, depth, and art style, and getting them to look somewhat believable was a long and often frustrating process.
Recently, I have been practicing a lot and just exploring different exercises to improve my portrait drawing skills, and in this video, I share 6 of my favorite exercises that have improved my ability to draw consistently better faces as a beginner over the last couple of years.

5 Face Proportions that Solved Portrait Drawing for me
Просмотров 17 тыс.Месяц назад
When I got back to drawing two years ago, my portrait drawings lacked structure, and getting them to look somewhat believable was a long and frustrating process that was far from reliable. Recently, I have been practicing a lot and just studying different approaches to drawing the human head such as the Loomis Method and the Reilly Abstraction to improve my understanding of facial structure, an...
Thank you for a great video! Your drawing and explanation are a great inspiration to me. I wish you lots of success 😀
@amandaninow2508 thank you so much for the kind words 😊 🙏 means a lot to me 💌
How do you like the Blackwing pencils?
I love them. Especially the white one. I like how they feel in the hand, the buttery texture, the convenience of the built in eraser, oh and they look a mazing. A bit pricey to be honest though 🙂✏️
I want to practice with that reference
Here you go 🙂 www.pinterest.com/pin/1098596902844708533/
Thank you. appreciate you!
Such a great video and thorough explanation! This helped a lot and I feel inspired
@@nathanlobdell2072 Thanks for the kind words 😊 🙏
Such a helpful video! Thank you for walking us through the different methods. I have a clearer understanding on how to approach things now! I hope you will continue with more videos. Seeing your progress and hearing your thinking regarding your process is appreciated. ☺️
@courtneyfarley3152 You're most welcome 😊 I'm glad I was able to help you in a small way. I just finished recording footage for my next video. Will probably edit tomorrow and upload on Friday. 🤞🏼 Thanks for the kind words 😊 🙏
Thank you so much !
@@dorinases You're most welcome 😊
Great channel! Maybe you could do a video on the materials and techniques you use to produce a pencil drawing of a sculpture. Thanks man!
@simonjohnson3106 I'm planing to do a draw with me video about sculptures probably end of next month 🙂 My next video is about how I shade my drawings and I'll be discussing the materials and shading techniques in that video. Recording the footage in the next couple of days and hopefully it will be edited and uploading by Friday 😊🤞🏼 Thanks for the suggestion and kind words! 🙏 💌
5:26 it’s my favorite I’m majoring nursing my drawings improved after my anatomy classes 😅
@lastcaresss that's so cool! My niece is studying anatomy for her dentistry exams and she loves drawing anatomy diagrams. I showed her anatomy drawings by Professor Rey Bustos for inspiration and she was blown away ☺️
@@ammardrawsThank you for the tips!!!
thanks for these tips, great books
@@LouisBonbonart you're most welcome 😊
I had been going to the local art museum to draw directly from actual portrait and figure sculpture. Very helpful.
@hoopyfrood4391 oh wow. That's something on my bucket list when I travel. Unfortunately not many sculptures around where I live. Would love to sketch David in person some day 😊
@@ammardraws That would be awesome! I am lucky enough to live about a fifteen minute drive to the Cleveland Museum of Art. Lots of sculpture to draw from.
@hoopyfrood4391 sounds like a dream ☺️
your voice is so calming ! tysm for this video
Oh my. Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️ I have always been really insecure about my voice so this comes as a pleasant surprise to me 💌
Thank you for this wonderful clear instructional video. I found it really helpful. I appreciate that you have taken the leap of faith to post it and look forward to your future videos. I am a new subscriber and wish you lots of success.
@anniebelanger7562 thank you so much for the kind words 😊 🙏
BRO I saw you from reddit
You're the second person to say that 😅 I'm quite surprised because I haven't posted there recently
Wanna know
Great video. Very helpful tips. Thank You :)
Thanks so much 😊🙏
Ngl your art Style is so nice and clean! Hope you best and hope you keep making some portraits on this Style more pls don't abandon this style :D

@sniper1902 thanks so much for the kind words 😊 🙏
Day two of not watching RUclips shorts and finding good quality content that I wanna cry
🔥
Keep making videos! This is amazing!
@@AyaSmith thank you so much for the kind words 😊 🙏
This is so useful! I was scared to start drawing again. But I'll do it today and start with drawing sculptures
@@lenakataeva7525 You got this! ☘️
@@ammardraws thanks! ❤️
Great video !! Please can you do more? Figures, still life , urban drawings , I have a hard time learning to draw street , buildings 😭
Thanks 🙂 I'll do figures later but probably won't be doing much urban sketching or still life any time soon though 😕
@@ammardraws oh just take your time! I'm just asking because you did recommend a lot of useful books about the portrait drawing and they're really helpful so I wanted if you could talk about it in other fields too 😁
Thank you for the triangle! You have a style. A good one. I am developing one that accommodates the tremor in my hand. I like to think it goes down a bit like smoke. Portrait drawing is addicting isn’t it? In a meeting I try to create a recognizable sketch with few strokes. Layout is my weakness. Where I am now, I don’t turn my pencil sideways or measure. I fight it out. Trying to clearly see the angels and how they are spaced, waiting and waiting to place the eyes, barely any value, now, is that Roy Rogers?
You're most welcome! As a fellow portrait drawing addict I can relate to your obsession with drawing faces 😀 You're an inspiration for us all for staying with your passion despite the tremor in your hand and I hope you keep at it! 💌 The model is actually Liza and I believe she was photographed by Elen Alferova
Your drawings are cool! You are on it, I mean, your skills are almost polished. What I need to improve mine, is some good inspiration.
@elcazacharlatanesycorruptos thanks you so much 😊 🙏
You're great. I love your drawings. Everything you showed shows mastery of line, values and form. I love the subtle stylizations on your portraits.
Thanks so much for the kind words 😊 🙏
Good luck on the channel! These videos are very helpful in gaining practical knowledge. I look forward to following along and learning more
@@giakaur5969 thank you so much!😊🙏 I'm glad you found the videos helpful :)
thanks great video
You're most welcome 😊 🙏
Awesome Videos!!! Links in your description- AWESOME Exercise 1: Drawing sculptures Exercise 2: The Bargue method (COPY) Exercise 3: Skull practice Exercise 4: The Loomis head Exercise 5: The Bridgman head cube Exercise 6: Master studies
I love your videos so far but please push your site a bit more. That’s where we can find the real gold! Thank you for everything.
@iHyRisk thanks so much! I plan to publish more posts in the blog once I figure out a routine that works for RUclips. For now I'm pivoting more towards RUclips because lately it's been really hard to get an audience from search with a standalone blog. Appreciate your feedback 😊 🙏
thanks a lot!!! it helps me improve faster!!!
This is really good advice! I also I love your work, and enjoyed seeing your process! Thank you so much
@bamanster5020 thanks so much 😊🙏
It's nice to see videos where the artist shows how they started and the progress they have made, thank you.
@@gwdavidson065 you're most welcome 😊
Oh, please don't second guess yourself. I really enjoyed this video, it was very well done. I hope you keep it up. I'm 66 and redabbling in art and seek excellent guidance such as yours. I found this very helpful, thank you. Someday perhaps you will even be confident enough to do patreon.
@RuthJohnstonaworldofgoods thank you so much 😊 🙏 I hope I have the energy and passion to do creative projects at that age and you are an inspiration for us all! 💌 I love the patreon idea 😅 who knows, maybe one day 🤞🏻😊
I never know that a4 paper are performing so well for sketching
I switched from sketchbooks to cheap a4 papers a while back because I was being too precious with my drawings. I actually like the smooth texture that you get with these and I buy the 90 or 110 gram paper stacks so I can make some corrections without ruining the drawing. 🙂
I have found Bridgeman's very useful. I like your video :)
Thank you! 😊🙏
Add more tutorials
realy good tips! actualy make so much sense that is more easy to my brain understand face shapes when i´m not drawing a human face. (plus: what a exotic pencil grip you have, brother)
Thank you! ☺🙏 I know I have a weird way of holding the pencil and I'm actually trying to get used to gripping the pencil further away from the tip to draw more loosely. But, old habits I guess 😅
You have a nice voice. Your drawings are great! thank you for the advice =)
@onepartyroule thanks so much! 😊🙏 honestly I have always been a bit insecure about how I sound so I'm quite pleasantly surprised to hear that 😅💌
@@ammardraws Oh! Well you must stop feeling insecure because you have a lovely voice =) It’s quite relaxing actually. I hope you will continue to make your videos 🙏🌻✍️
@@onepartyroule you're too kind! Thank you 😊
wow great video dude
Thanks 🙂
Such great information! Thanks for posting!
You're most welcome! Thanks for your kind words ☺🙏

He did this to wash away the burden of sins, and if you open your heart to Him, He can take away the burden of your sins and give you a peace incomparable to anything in this world. ✝✝🙏

Coming from fellow graphic/artist, you are amazing! Do not doubt your skills and keep going!
It honestly means a lot to me! Thanks so much for your kind words! ☺🙏
I found this very informative and extremely useful. I hope you keep it up. Give it at least a full year of putting up videos every week and you should see quite a decent growth. Good luck.
Thank you so much for the encouragement and support! ☺🙏 I'm going to try my best to do so :)
Good job!
Parabéns por seu trabalho! Deu-me ânimo para voltar a estudar os grandes mestres. Obrigada pelo vídeo!
Thank you so much for sharing these art tips! I’m glad I came across your channel in the right time(the start), I’ll be able to watch every video you post and improve in my art journey ❤️ Could you please enlighten us on achieving likeness in portraits, I struggle with this aspect and I’d love to watch your take on it
Thanks so much for the kind words! ☺️ It would be a privilege for me to make content that helps you in your art journey in a small way. 💌 When I started drawing faces, I wanted to draw my favorite characters from the movies and famous celebrities and I got really frustrated when I was unable to get the resemblance right. Initially what I found helpful was to not obsess too much about likeness when I was just starting to learn the basics about portraiture like the Loomis Method and anatomy. And I think as a beginner it can be very liberating to draw faces of strangers so you don't feel the need to make your drawing to look exactly like the reference. With that said, I think drawing the likeness well without using a grid depends on your ability to draw the basic structure well in terms of basic shapes (such as using the loomis method), knowing the basic proportions of the average face, and identifying how a particular face differs from those average proportions. If you're interested, I wrote a blog post about tips for drawing the likeness in portraits if you're interested bingedrawing.com/portrait/tips-for-improving-likeness/ I hope this is semi-helpful to you. Good luck and have fun drawing! 🍀
@@ammardraws Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
