How to Draw Portraits Quickly with Mass Drawing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- In this lesson, Stephen Bauman shows a technique called mass drawing, a quick way to create a portrait by focusing on large value shapes instead of lines. He starts with rough shadow shapes and uses measurements and triangulation for accuracy. Think of your pencil like a paintbrush, focusing on where values meet. This method needs good contrast in your source image and works best with soft graphite pencils. With practice, mass drawing can speed up your block-in process and improve your portrait skills.

What Would My art dream be without Prokos free tutorials?...
quite true
True
I think what I love most about this video is that the Stephen Bauman is producing quality work that does not exactly recreate the reference image. It comforts me because it tells me that I don't need to be perfect to be competent.
Stephen's block-in tutorials have helped me more than any other art exercise, they are just too good. Big thanks to Proko!!
As a HUGE fan of Stephen Bauman's work, I loved this video, thx a lot Proko!😁
Love to see this process, it feels more like sculpting than defining a contour. Trying to teach myself to draw again and this channel is insanely helpful
this really help for dreaming architects like me
I love the approach to drawing in this video! When I started taking art education more seriously, I struggled with the linear, form-construction approach, especially with portraits. Despite that difficulty and the poor results I produced when trying to practice that method, I was still able to produce more faithful drawings in my leisure time by recreating just the shapes I was more attuned to seeing.
This video does a good job of articulating how my mind/eyes perceived the world and offers really good insights on how I can take that to the next level. I am saving to hopefully get the longer course soon.
Love the render style of stephen bauman's work, great video proko❤❤❤
Love Stephen Bauman! Always inspiring
I really love this process of caring about the shapes of value
That's a really cool technique!
What a Godsend. Just the video i neede. Thx proko and friends!
Thanks for tips!
Although I don't plan to be a portrait artist, this video was really fun to watch!
Thanks for useful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
Great demo! Makes me want to get back into drawing!
Makes sense! This method would definitely appeal to a sculptor! lol
love your content guys ❤
Thanks!
super !
I've always done the point of truth technique and didn't realize it had a name. When I was a little kid I'd always draw some feature and base the scale and position of everything else off of it. They actually discourage you from doing this in traditional art classes. Kinda goes to show you, you have to go out and develop your skills on your own at a certain point.
Every teacher and even school will have a different way that they prefer and teach. It's an important thing to consider when choosing a who you're going to be taught by.
This method is also taught in traditional art classes but it sounds like your teacher preferred something else. Nothing wrong with that! There are a million ways to do the same thing and some will strike your brain better than others.
@@ProkoTV Yeah it's unfortunate they don't always tailor it to what's intuitive to the person they're teaching. As you say, every student is going to be different also.

My favorite drawing tutorial this year..
Send me more links please. 😊😊
Man !! This literally helps me a Lot 🎉 But trll me is you using a woodless pencil here in mass drawing?????🤔
Noroc!
I am from Romania!
Yep! That's one of the tools used here.
How would I block in a face with normal shadows? It’s troubling for me because I don’t know how
this reminds me of Josh Hernandez' style from tiktok, although he's a lot more extreme with how he blocks in shadows and he uses charcoal
❤❤❤
Is proko going to make a video about art Commissions in the future?
I'm asking because I want to start doing art commissions but I don't know how to start, and I don't know who to ask
Is there a certain part of the process you're curious about?
@@ProkoTV The beginning, what to say to the client during the process of doing the commission, how to Simply talk to the client when doing art commissions, what process of the work do you show and then making sure you get paid
How should the art be presented when doing art commissions, like when it's on a post
making portraits from photo's I have no problem doing loosely & quickly by hand and still have it resemble the original. However, for some reason, no matter how hard I try, how drawn out, focused and meticulously I work, I always fail to draw a looking-like-the-original-person portrait from a real life model, regardless how still they sit :/
when saying “measuring the source image” are you looking at the reference printed off side by side with the scale being the same?
It won't necessarily be viewed at the same scale that he's drawing at. But he'll look to a reference to the side of the drawing, printed or on an ipad, and check the relative measurements within the reference to check against his drawing.
Speaking of drawing, can you draw flies?
What pencil do u use?
What was the name of that eraser?
There are a couple erasers used in here. There's the kneaded rubber eraser and the long Mono Zero eraser.
Hope that helps!
@@ProkoTV YES that's what i needed to know... Mono Zero. Thank you
Is it possible to mass draw with a pen?
Thanks for the video! Pretty informative
Tools used?😭
We see a kneaded eraser, Mono Zero eraser, woodless graphite pencil, a sable brush, blending stump, mechanical pencil, short graphite pencil in a clutch. Not sure of the hardnesses for some of em so we don't want to send you in the wrong direction!
Go to town with your stump.

Step one: Spend 20 years practicing.
Practice definitely helps!
I extremely dislike working that much with graphite, too messy and feels weird on my skin…just hate it. It’s a necessary evil for cartooning and comics but I’ll never stray from clear line drawing simply due to my aversion to brake pad dust.
