He has tons of RUclips videos and he’s such a good teacher you’ll find yourself being successful! Joining his Enjoying Art Patreon has helped me even more. He has hundreds of demos, SO much useful material.
Giovanni Tyre - Agreed, I'm the same. Also, the students are at that age where they look as if they couldn't give a damn but they really are interested. (Honest!)
That’s the magic of vine/willow charcoal. You can turn an absolute mess into a masterpiece by constant adjustment and experimentation because it flows, moves, rubs and erases fairly effortlessly. It gives you a bit more room to play without total permanency. It’s the absolute best medium for loosening up, surrendering all control and feeling a bit more free and expressive.
I got hired for a live drawing gig last year, and I wouldn't have been able to pull it off without watching this video. I now recommend this to everyone I talk to about learning how to work quickly. Thanks so much for making this and sharing it!
I’m so glad to find these videos. I feel like you’re simplifying everything so many other drawing instructors overcomplicate and over-explain with too many lines and rules for a beginner to absorb all at once. This was easy to absorb and I don’t feel too overwhelmed and weighed down with details (some videos by others are so overwhelming that I get to the point that by the time I get to the paper to draw I can’t remember what was explained 😂). You made it fast and simple and made me want to pick my charcoal up immediately and draw. ❤️
I never had proper training as I had always been self taught. Your passion would have kindled me had I been In your class, I regret not having drawn more.
you know what , I've seen lots of tutorials videos but to be honest , you're the first one who discussed well and teach good , i really understand it how to draw in a good way and to have a beautiful result. Thank you so much , I wish i can attend one of your tutorial class. 😍💕
simplified . i desperately need your teachings . thanks for the vid and tips . i didnt see you go for much details but your work just amazed me. it really look like your model with just shadings and higlights . just WOW !!
I've been learning to draw portraits by my self for a year and it is tragic not being able to have classes like this here in Iceland without loosing a arm. Your teaching is remarkable. Pin pointed to understand it in the most simple way. Truly amazing and good teacher.
Oh my God my teacher never told me what all I was missing out in all the steps. This is brilliant. I learnt about all the mistakes I was making and how I can avoid them. These students seem so uninterested like wth. I wanna be a part of your class. Thank you so much for this 20mins video. Much help!
You make it look easy! I just watched 11 of your portraits basics, followed by this one, which wrapped up the series well. Can’t wait to dabble on my first portrait!!!! Thank you so much for sharing the joy of art!
now is2017 , watching it for the first time. thank you mr. yong chen. to hear your accent allready made me smile. and also your tutorial is helpfull, thanx
What an amazing and an inspiring teacher and artist!!!!!!! Tell me if you are coming to UK? - will definitely come to your class! Couldn't be more angry with random people in the video, who are relying on their entitlement!!!!
Man they are so lucky they have teachers for art..in my country ( morocco ) there are no art schools to teach the basics that been used by masters like frazetta or DaVinci, we are self taught unfortunately
im watching this with out no expereince and never thought about doing this type of art but i feel like you explaining it would be easier cause its simple yet its good, If i ever have a chance i would love to learn
I know this video is kinda old, but I want to say that your tutorials on how u drawing are pretty amazing, im really impressed how you can just clearify the details with shapes and shadows, its really fascinating :o
I’d love to be in that class. Those kids are so lucky...and just being so disrespectful. They are ignoring more than details, and they even see that it’s being recorded..and still don’t care... but great lesson! You make it look so easy. Wonderful teacher! Love all ur videos.
great video I like how you stress the fact to not focus on single features but the proportions and relation of everything as a whole to get more accuracy
What a great video! I myself know how to draw portraits with pencils as i can, but charcoal is quite different. Thanks for uploading these precious videos sir, it sure helped me.

It saddens me to see some of the students looking so bored. I would love to be in that classroom! So much knowledge being passed on.

I know such good techniques !
Idk people say i look bored
usually when im pretty happy
so don't pay too much attention to external looks
Giovanni Tyre - Agreed, I'm the same. Also, the students are at that age where they look as if they couldn't give a damn but they really are interested. (Honest!)

at the end i was like: wtf how did that scratch all over the place turn into a really good drawing?!
Yeah
That’s the magic of vine/willow charcoal.
