another video to make me think "internet is a gift we take as granted way too much" Thank you Proko for all the amazing work and Morgan for the amazing advice and demos
Don’t be overwhelmed. Just try them all and see which ones feel most natural to you. I’m completely confused by measurement systems like Loomis and my work always tends to look weird when I’ve attempted them because line work is not my bag. I tend to see in blocks of color and tone and negative shapes,, so that’s the way I create things.
Even as a beginner this was totally comprehensible! For whatever reason I took to holding the charcoal like a brush but so many of the other Steps and Concepts that Morgan shares have been eye opening. If I can just apply these, I feel like I will be on the road towards my goal as a serious artist. Many thanks for this one! So inspiring!!🙏🏼
Charcoal is a nice segue into brushwork, since it just plain works better once you use it brushily. Easy to snag it and break it in the paper when you revert to 'writing' style overly precise grip.
An amazing talent! I'm honored to call him my best friend. Follow his advise! Information like this is so hard to come by. Nice job Stan and well done Morgan!
when ppl use *"talented"* like its a gift ,it makes the artist look like they had it easy ,but not everyone uses it in that context cos a lotta ppl think talent=skill ig
@@facto222 tbh, talking about some people who don't speak english as a native language, i believe that some think that talented equals to skill. in my language, talent is skill and gift is talent. i'm not speaking for everyone as there are people who indeed means to say talent as a natural thing that you have since bday. (i hope i made myself clear)
As I make the transition from working with graphite to painting I find it so interesting how what is considered a "finished" varies so much. This has more of a rough look, while I've seen other artists show how they perfectly blend all the skin tones together seamlessly. I suppose there is no right or wrong on when you feel you've reached your own version of "finished." It's just a new world for me.
it's nice when someone carefully explains something that is almost what you already do, and the difference is enough to make you think. Personally after drawing in this general manner for some time, I think there is one thing I'd add: canvas size matters, A4 is good, A3 is better. Important because IME a habit of drawing too small is something that naturally goes together with the too-precise 'writing' grip. Making it bigger helps expose flaws in the way you work out placement, shapes and proportion. Less technical.
Yes! I always have the problem of drawing too small, it annoys the hell out of me because sometimes I don't notice until the end and have to reframe the whole thing
So much information packed in to a short video, and so clearly explained. I have had a lightbulb moment while watching Morgan work! It's given me some of the answers as to why I've struggled with (and avoided) painting for so long. The way I approach my drawing practice doesn't translate well to other mediums well, and being overwhelmed with colour. I've always wanted my drawings to look this way, but never quite figured out how to achieve this painterly quality. I'm over halfway there in how I already work, just some tweaks to how I think about drawing. Going away to adjust how I approach drawing first and then I'll revisit painting again!
6:55 Thank you so much that you are drawing without a projector. Even you get the nose a bit to long there...that is really refreshing. I am sure you will paint it in a correct way! Thank you so much! Thats the way I wanna do it!
oh yay. this is exactly the type of drawing I wanted to move towards. it is challenging bc I am so reliant on line. but I think this is really great. thank you
Inspiring! This looks like the natural way to progress from drawing to painting that I've been looking for :D Also love the relaxed "adapt and make it work for you" attitude. Thanks a ton!
it's an interesting point with not using your knowledge until after you've worked from observation. My own teacher was always very flexible, and would challenge you to do the opposite of what your routine was, so that you never stagnated, so it's difficult to say what his true belief was, but i do remember him saying that we learn anatomy so we can place it as an exaggeration before we have the observational skills to see it. Then as we develop our eyes we tone it down to what actually happens.
I've been digital painting for two years, I keep my finger at the end of the brush and let my arm do the movements. I could not stand my arm being in the way of the painting. I always tell people the thing that made me learn how to paint was throwing out the notion that I was painting an "eye", "hair", "mouth" etc. Instead I painted objects and how they interacted with light. It was not a human I was painting. It was not a dog, a book, car, etc. They were foreign objects being painted and how they interacted with light. Then as the shapes get smaller and smaller, I start to see the person, car, book dog, etc. That's when I know I can start anchoring the details that define the object into those things my brain associates them with. It's crazy because when you say "I am not using my brain I am just capturing shapes" that is EXACTLY how I felt I had to do to get better. They make those beginning stages less daunting when it looks so foreign. I am also somewhat self taught by the way. I watched YT videos like this. So I can't really say I am self taught. I find it crazy we came to similar conclusions though. Now here goes a funny thing, when I remove the association of the things I am painting. It feels like I've connected to the energy of the universe and my hand moves with ease to capture what is in front of me. I don't even think or process. I just do. Some people call this flow state or something. That feeling when things that are unsolved feel solvable and one moves forward with confidence.
I was searching for 'drawing painting integrated' to find out any integrated approach of drawing and painting, and found this video. What a wonderful video! :)
I don't usually leave comments but this one stunned me! It was so great...I learned so much from this 20 min vid! Thanks again Morgan and Proko! Btw , to you Morgan I've used Fred Fixler's and your technique of the tile method on my portraits and it works! Thank you!
Like the "6 steps to draw anything" video, this one is going to be a staple on many artists lives - mine included. One of those videos that enlighten you about something groundbreaking for your career in this field. Not Isaac Asimov, but definitely a Foundation! Thank you very, very much!
Love your approach of drawing like you're painting. will try that! The German artist Felix Scheinberger calls his way of mixing drawing and painting "drainting". Although he is much more on the drawing side, nearly an urban sketching style. Love this Wild West Stan!
I still don't get what that means. To draw like a painter... honestly, what he did there just looked like a drawing process to me. You put down some lines, shapes and start upping and downing values.
Oh wow! I'm at the point where I roughly understand the anatomy and the shapes of features, knowing the planes etc. But I was getting stuck on likeness and an abundance of construction and sketch lines.... This is just what I needed!
This video has pulled so many things together for me about drawing and painting…absolutely will be doing painting studies in the two recommended colors. Many thanks for sharing all of this knowledge!!!
Recently been looking to move into more traditional mediums to supplement the digital stuff, and this looks like a really fun way to paint! Thanks for making this, definately going to be giving this method a bash!
I use a similar technique when drawing because I was a painter first, so I tend to use drawing media like a paintbrush. The painting is beautiful but the tiny brush makes me nervous. I use much bigger brushes and paint in big blocks of color based on relationships and values. It eventually takes shape into the subject I’m painting but I let it look awkward and like crap for a while. Lol
Loved this. Thank you. I wish someone would have explained this in art school way back when. Your work is amazing and appears almost effortless, but there is so much measuring and comparing going on. Wow!
fantastic and so useful. Thanks so much for this lesson. Color has always been so confusing to me, seem like this way you presented is a portal that opens in the brain to start slowly understanding what colour is all about.

Merry Christmas to us!
Merry christmas Marco
Thanks for being with us sir !
Yay marco 👍
Can we have, Morgan Weistling , for Christmas again?
Merry christmas
another video to make me think
"internet is a gift we take as granted way too much"
Thank you Proko for all the amazing work and Morgan for the amazing advice and demos
There are so many different ways of drawing and painting that I'm just completely overwhelmed :-:
Never give up, though. Fight through It!
Just pake a way and use it
Do what's fun
But isn't that what's fun? To try everything and see which you like best? It's refreshing to try something new every time! You can do it
Don’t be overwhelmed. Just try them all and see which ones feel most natural to you. I’m completely confused by measurement systems like Loomis and my work always tends to look weird when I’ve attempted them because line work is not my bag.

I affiliates held it like a brush but never thought to sharpen! This was super helpful to me too
Its incredible that with only a few lines a likeness starts to emerge. That's just something special.
It amazes me how one stroke of the brush can totally transform the feeling of a painting!
Let me know if you ever need me to model again, Morgan! Check out more of his work at www.morganweistling.com/
We want him again❤️
That would be great Stan. You made a great model proven by the fact that the painting sold instantly. I see a series ahead of us.
Hell Yeah! Bad Hombre! :)
Hope it happen again ASAP!
Morgan is so talented, one of the best modern day painters of our time.
Skilled*
@@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA943 no dude. He was born knowing how to paint like this. All he had to do is learn how to hold a brush/s
@@IGarrettI ahh... yes of course no hard work needed everything was handed to him by the Gods.
@@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA943 best and skilled.
@@YTuseraL2694 Truth. Talent will get you half way there. It takes discipline to get the rest of the way!
An amazing talent! I'm honored to call him my best friend. Follow his advise! Information like this is so hard to come by. Nice job Stan and well done Morgan!
Greg is the guy that first told me to think of the brush as a piece of charcoal.
I hope you're having a good day too Greg

The way he struck Stan's likeness in the canvas was impressive. I'd like to see more about him!

As someone who struggles with color I can't express how helpful this was! Thank you
I love watching Morgan draw. You can see him instinctively use the Reilly rhythms. What a fantastic artist. Had the same teacher as Jeff Watts.
it's nice when someone carefully explains something that is almost what you already do, and the difference is enough to make you think.

Yes! I always have the problem of drawing too small, it annoys the hell out of me because sometimes I don't notice until the end and have to reframe the whole thing
That reference photo of Stan makes him look a lot cooler than he normally does.
Wow, Weistling! I had no idea this video existed. His work at the Prix de Ouest is a yearly highlight.
Appreciate the thought-by-thought voice over. This is helpful.
omg Morgan Weistling's paintings are SO gorgeous!!
Phenomenal painting, beautifully rendered. Thank you for your time, sir.
This video, and the Draftsman video you did on James Gurney and his influences have really stepped up my game. Thanks Proko.
So much information packed in to a short video, and so clearly explained. I have had a lightbulb moment while watching Morgan work!

Proko is the only channel i recommend to my beginner artist friends
The loose brush strokes created magic
6:55 Thank you so much that you are drawing without a projector. Even you get the nose a bit to long there...that is really refreshing. I am sure you will paint it in a correct way! Thank you so much! Thats the way I wanna do it!
This was the best Christmas present ever! To see Morgan painting is a dream come true! Thanks forever!
Great video! And such a direct, confident, dependable approach! Thanks for the great tips!
Keeping the phrase: "vibrate that into your painting".
This is awesome, thank you x

i feel enlightened. this is amazing :) the whole journey around this portrait is amazing!
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand :::::
Best thing I've watched in.... wow! I must watch this again! Thank you Stan!
Looking at ones "older stuff" not only helps me continue but lets you appreciate the progression. You are amazing brother!
What a treat, to watch and listen to something like this!

Best video of Proko youtube channel Amazing! As an artist, this is one of the best lessons I have had! Thanks!
That painting was so well done. Absolute master
As a beginner artist....this is JAW DROPPING!!!
Badass painting! Drawing/shapes/values all completely nailed to a fine degree. Thanks for the inspiration.
Glad you liked it!
Love the tear duct in the finished painting!

Morgan=Master artist
Love his work
Fantastic video. Truly life-changing information in regard to drawing and painting. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! Amazing work!

Hello, the trainings are happy and complete.bravo
Masterful Summary.
Thank you Mr. Morgan Weistling and Proko for this video.
Now I have the confidence to start my drawing.
Absolutely amazing! What an artist
Like the "6 steps to draw anything" video, this one is going to be a staple on many artists lives - mine included. One of those videos that enlighten you about something groundbreaking for your career in this field. Not Isaac Asimov, but definitely a Foundation!
Thank you very, very much!
Morgan. Good seeing you again. Learned a lot from you in the past.. hope to see more new lessons.
Fantastic, just fantastic.
Fantastic everything. This is drawing and painting gold!!!!
Love your approach of drawing like you're painting. will try that! The German artist Felix Scheinberger calls his way of mixing drawing and painting "drainting". Although he is much more on the drawing side, nearly an urban sketching style. Love this Wild West Stan!
xtremely helpfull... Very nice delivery . Humble an knowledgeable . Indpiring ti say th least . Thank u for your time an effort....
One of my favorite artist, thank you!
Using the overhand grip is the technique that the masters use, when we were in school the tripod grip aka writing grip was what used all the time
The demonstration of sketching and painting along with excellent communication skills are awesome. Very useful video for serious art students.
In my undergrad days, I had a drawing instructor tell me that I draw like a painter. It's just my natural approach. Now I see what he meant.
I still don't get what that means. To draw like a painter... honestly, what he did there just looked like a drawing process to me. You put down some lines, shapes and start upping and downing values.
This video changed my life, thank you!
What a great video. That is something to cherish.
Oh wow!
I'm at the point where I roughly understand the anatomy and the shapes of features, knowing the planes etc. But I was getting stuck on likeness and an abundance of construction and sketch lines.... This is just what I needed!
Lol I love how he make it all sounds soooooo easy and his obvious massive talent is just a small component.
Very informative and helpful to assess the observational thought process!
This video has pulled so many things together for me about drawing and painting…absolutely will be doing painting studies in the two recommended colors. Many thanks for sharing all of this knowledge!!!
Thank you for taking the time to present such enlightening videos!
I love the fact that he is using his left hand. impressive
I was finding oil painting so frustrating compared to watercolour and drawing but this really helped me realize it's not any different really
Another great and helpful Proko presentation.
Recently been looking to move into more traditional mediums to supplement the digital stuff, and this looks like a really fun way to paint! Thanks for making this, definately going to be giving this method a bash!
This is gonna sound weird but im happy and inspired by the fact this guy is left handed. First time I ever saw a lefty hold the pencil like that.
Wonderful tecnique, beautiful result
TY i really needed this
I use a similar technique when drawing because I was a painter first, so I tend to use drawing media like a paintbrush. The painting is beautiful but the tiny brush makes me nervous.

What a fantastic, helpful video! Honestly blown away! 😮
I bought Morgan’s ‘homework’ DVD over 10 years ago and watch the whole thing once a year … highly recommend
excellent excellent demo! I love the connection from drawing to painting and the use of the limited palette at first. Thank you!
Wow, Morgan made the poster for last action hero! That movie is awesome
Very enjoyable. Thanks a lot for sharing this!
Love this one! A really excellent and simple demonstration how to draw!
Wauw 👏👌🏽 Thanks so much for this great lesson! Stunning painting 🔥👏
me encanta su dominio en la simplificacion tonal
Fantastic information. Thank you so much!!
Loved this. Thank you. I wish someone would have explained this in art school way back when. Your work is amazing and appears almost effortless, but there is so much measuring and comparing going on. Wow!
Excellent! informative demonstration..... The Best!!"👌
Wow you paint amazingly

Very useful and enlightening video. Thank you so much for sharing!
Loved this. Kept trying to give it several more thumbs up.
I’ve watched this video so many times it’s soooo good
excellent. Got a lot out of this demo. Thanks!
such an amaizing and well explained advise, thank you!
Interesting approach to drawing and painting from a great artist!
Thank you so much Morgan!! Very clear and helpful!!!
As short as this video is, I learned a lot from it!
Thank you! I will try this
Really loved this demo. Very well-explained.
I've just watched your video. It's superb!
I recently made the transition to draw like a painter. I’ll be taking up painting for the first time this year 🎨
Love his work.
watching this gave me an idea to experiment on with my next planned art piece
i realized i should prolly put in more work on understanding values
