Thank you a million for your time work and absolutely fantastic teaching. I wish you were here to tutor me 💓💓💓💓💓
You are very welcome appreciate the kind reasuring words... always good to know my work is well received... thank you for watching the videos. 🙂🙏
Lovely video! Not only for the practical purposes of drawing but for the overall sense of calmness it creates! Thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome... Thank you for the wonderful feedback... thrilled that my video comes accross so. 🙏🙏
Love all your videos, Dave. I learn a lot by watching your technique, and your lovely calm teaching style is soothing and encouraging. Thank you!
Aww... Thank you so much Lynne!... that means a lot to me. Thrilled that you are enjoying them. It is a long learning curve with all the tech side of things to make the videos... enjoying the challenges 😊🙏
Miles to go before I sleep…..!
I love the longer slower videos. Having the reference photo was helpful to see the comparisons you were making with the pencil. You are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Paula... thank you so much for the feedback... Will try to include the reference image with the colour stages. It is difficult as the reference on screen looks a total different colours and it is hard to correct it... but working on trying to make it work. Thank you 😊🙏
You are such an excellent teacher and I am so grateful I found your videos! I love your approach to the portrait and your emphasis on the heart. I love your work, your voice and your approach! I love what you offer! Your portraits are stunning. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the wonderful kind feedback Donna!... really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I am thrilled that you love my approach... means the world to me... I love to share and it's great to know that people are finding value in what I do. Take care... bless you! 😊🙏
Great video and instruction, David! You said you like to use a small photo so you can see the whole of it, which makes a lot of sense. Question: How can you use your pencil to measure your outline against the original photo when the face you are drawing is larger than the original photo?
Hi Nancy..thank you. To answer your question... it is all relative... please check out one of my recent video uploads in my channel... I discuss step by step real time video and real time Audio. ☺🙏
Thanks mate. I’m just getting back into pastels after a long break and your videos are being very helpful. Exactly what I was looking for.
Cheers Michael... appreciate the great feedback.. chuffed that you found the video helpful mate... means a lot. All the best with getting back into your art! 😊🙏
MUCH better to see you work more slowly. Getting the image free-hand is soooo hard, but eventually, I hope it’ll come. Many thanks!
You welcome Steve... I realised years ago, making sure you can see the reference as a whole will make all the difference... I would suggest keep reducing the reference image until you start to feel it works better. All the best 🙏🙏
It would have helped me if Dave had explained in more detail his use of the pencil to determine spacing and angles.
Please join Patreon for more details... would appreciate the support. 😊🙏
Thanks a lot for this video, it was really helpful. But I don't understand what and how you take measurements with your pencil. Since your reference and your work is not the same size how do you now know the correct proportion
It is the same proceedure that I use to draw from life. I use the tip of the pencil and the distant from my thumb to compare. I work from the centre point and work outward from there so it is all relative. I have other video on free Hand drawing in my channel so be sure to check them out too. ☺🙏
In my opinion the longer the video the more you learn. Thanks again for sharing this video.
Thanks for the feedback. You are welcome 🙏
Loving the longer slower video. Looking forward to part 2 where I hope you will explain a little more your colour choices, mixing, base layers etc. Trying my first ever pastel portrait and have to say whilst I don't fully understand what I am doing, using the primary colours for the most part has enabled me to get close to reference colours something I had no idea of how to even start. Without you tutorials I wouldn't understand the basics, I would be struggling to find a similar pencil colour! Thank you for sharing your process usually most tutorials don't reveal their secrets or skills quite so openly.
Hi Sharon... thanks for the feedback... part 2 will have just that element in it... should be on next Monday at 8pm GMT. All the very best with your first Pastel portrait. :-)
The speed of this video is very helpful. Thanks
Thank for the feedback Teresa... much appreciated 💕🙏
Your amazing artist, fraid that is beyond me these days I need a grid or a tracing now. 🤓🧐🤨
Hi Lynne, its only practice... but if you feel more comfortable with grid that's ok... there is no right or wrong way to draw the outline... take care :-)
@@DavePortersArt I know Dave, my main aim is to just get skin tones working for me at this moment I will attempt to start drawing more, I managed to get to an art shop today and bought the conte pastel pencils in the colours your using Yay!! They were so expensive or I would have bought more but these will do for now.
Loving all of your advice and videos it’s so helpful.🤓🧐🤗
@@lynnemcnab76 that's great news Lynne... Will try to give a more in-depth look at how I mix the colour with the next video. So pleased you are enjoying the videos 😊🙏
@@DavePortersArt look forward to it.
Perfect just right
Thank Jay... much appreciated 😊🙏
I like your work, thanks for inspiration! I like to improve on my drowning s
Hi Dan... Thanks for taking the time to let me know... Thrilled my videos inspired you. All the very best with your art. 😊🙏
@@DavePortersArt all respect
Thanks Dave 😉 I think by setting up my drawing sketch I want to make to much details ... i am to much a perfectionist. I have to learn to build it up ...I will keep the faith to work my portrait till it’s done... I can do it....I only need some patience and faith 😉
My pleasure Julia :-)
I loved the pace of this video! It gave us a chance to study her face along with you. Very helpful!
That's great... glad you liked it. :-)
If I were not so interested in studying your style and technique, I would still find your videos so calming and serenity inducing. But you have a really awesome teaching style.
Hi Walter, thank you so much for taking the time to give this wonderful feedback. Means a lot to me that my video come across this way. Cheers and all the very best to you. 😊🙏
Hi Dave, I've been drawing off and on for the last 4 yrs. I like the free hand approach. Your videos are really fantastic as a source of skill demonstration and techniques applied. I'm learning a lot from the time and effort you apply to your videos. Much appreciated.
Hi Old Mate.... Cheers for the reassuring comment... great to know that my videos come across with clarity. Means A lot and fuels me to do more. Thanks for that 🙏🙏
I currently use the grid method. I also prefer to draw on cheap drawing paper first then I use tracedown to transfer my drawing to Pastelmat. I just don’t want to damage the tooth. It’s very inspiring to watch you free hand this way. I could give it ago on my cheap drawing paper.
Hi Gillima... it would be great practice... sounds a great idea. This method I use is the same one for drawing from life... so great practice for that too. It is worth exploring as it would give you so much freedom. Take care btw way the pencil I use and putty rubber would not damage the tooth if you use the pencil lightly. He is the number of the Carbothello great pencil I prefer to use... you could buy it separately online.... Carbothello no. 1400/726. I have a Amazon link to buy my preferred putty rubber in any of my pastel video description, 🙏
I really want to know what inspired you to share your skills and methods, like aren't you afraid that someone else would become better than you coz I used to feel the same way
I used to feel that way when I was younger. In reality nothering is really ours. I just observe what happens and take no credit for the result. So be giving all that comes up... it leaves more space for new developements to manifest. If we hold on to something that we think is precious to us it holds us back... can lock you in the mind too much (ego). I try to keep open and empty. All the very best to you... 🙏🙏
A longer, more explained video is very insightful and appreciated! This method, the freehand, when broken down makes this process seem more intuitive and approachable which is wonderful. Your artwork is amazing, even at the outline stage!
Hi Alexis, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, much appreciated. You have hit the nail on the head... that is why I LOVE this approach as it opens up more freedom and flexibility for intuition and just letting everything unfold naturally. Thrilled that you like my work... means a lot. :-)
I really enjoyed watching this. I tend to trace but would love to be able to freehand them. The speed was just right. Not too fast and not too slow. I shall use your videos a lot to come back and refer to. I feel we are so lucky to have such talented people to help us on our art journey. Thank You!
Thank you so much Barbara for taking the time to leave a comment. It is my pleasure I love to share. All the very best with your art journey 😊🙏
looking great Matey, Look forward to seeing the finished piece 👍
Cheers James! 👍
