Your teaching is fabulous! Having done a lot of portraits in oil and now doing them in watercolor, I agree the latter is so much harder! Loved your having discussed those challenges and seeing how you handled them. Love your videos!
This is wonderful. Thank u. Changing up these methods into this new one is sooo helpful. Your rite to sculpt and it makes so much sense. Thank u so much for your help!!
Really glad youre doing some portrait vids too, these have been very helpful and i can start and see the variety of puzzle pieces finally coming together myself!
Solid video. Would love to see a deeper dive into Riley for the head and for the figure. I’ve never seen a really clear example of the Riley method on RUclips.
Thanks glad you liked it! I’ve found a few of the Reilly ideas to be especially useful so I just focus on those. We teach those useful bits extensively in our course and I’ve shown them in this video and the previous one 👍
You did a great job. Watercolour is difficult. I learned a lot. Am doing w/c portraits now. So this was timely. Have already used your use of the Reilly Rhythms etc to lightly draw the portrait.
Dude! I did this method for the first time and it worked like a charm.. its still quite alot to get the big lines/shapes correctly, but once the access line is done (as close to the real picture) "everything else" feels like i'm filling in a coloring page lol no joke! it was SO easy afterwards.. I didnt clock the whole event so I cannot tell how long this took me to finish, but I dont feel drained after this method at all. thank you so much! this makes the 100 head challenge alot easier to finish :D Subscribed! :)
It is brilliant Kenzo--you may say so yourself. I am so amazed at how much progress I made just by learning the right approach to figure/portrait drawing after joining the study group. Realizing that practice doesn't always make progress...but practicing the right way does! Amazing Master Kenzo.
Good one again. If people only knew how easy drawing and painting a portrait was. Much more so than landscapes with all the geological/meteorological stuff changing all the time at each location on this big rock, all so different, from land to sea to polar ice caps!! LOL. Watercolor would be difficult for me, now that I'm so used to oils, but I have used gouache, years ago, it's a nice medium for Other animal paintings. With the humanoid heads it's basically the same thing done over and over again, with two main differences, or sometimes maybe whatever else (LOL). It's maybe not quite as easy as your thumbnail but pretty repetitive once you get the hang of it and have done it say 200 times to "get good". ;D. Getting a "likeness" may be a bit more difficult since little changes from your reference may take you in unexpected, but not always horrible directions, as long as it looks somewhat human. However, if someone is paying you big bucks to paint their sweet little princess' portrait, for example, and you accidently make her look like some kind of older loose Ho, that's a problem! LOL Funny story about "likeness", it is reported that the great John Singer Sargent once painted a portrait of a certain lady. And her husband, upon seeing it, said, "It looks like Hell, but it looks like you!! ....Nice guy!! LOL ;D
I went back to chalk and I think...eventually, I will get a likenes. I can now start on pesona. I lived my whole life and never practiced art. Now I can do this. I can illustrate my physics problems or my letters home. Most of all, I can be with Vincent van Gogh.

Thanks Kenzo! I've been practicing the portraits along with my daily figure drawing. It's helpful to have a condensed version of the steps.
Hey Bonnie hope you’ve been well!
Helpful, helpful, helpful. Kenzo, you have taught me sooooo much!🌺

Thank you, Kenzo! The best video on portraits on the internet, really! I wanted to ask what pencils did you use for the second sketch?
Thanks! I used a Pitt Pastel black, but also like Generals charcoal (the orange ones)
@@lovelifedrawing Thank you very much, Kenzo!
