I’ve seen people that didn’t know how to draw at all improve amazing by practicing it everyday. But to draw or paint everyday you need to have passion for it. So it’s easy if you like it.
Super useful lessons I learned in the first 30 seconds without ANY sound. - use a gloss medium on paper before you paint, especially for paper not meant to hold paint. -use a ball point pen when doing graphite paper transfers because it GLIDES OVER the paper and doesn’t need to be sharpened -work from the darkest colours up -start around the eyes because they’re THE most important part of the face
I am mostly okay with using "shortcuts" in my art. But I also try not to use them all the time, because I think its important to practice basic skills like anatomy, perspective, line quality... I feel like it sometimes sucks having to rely on references, because they don't always match up with what I want to paint.
I don’t like sketching directly on my paper cuz I erase a lot and the paper is texture is ruined (I use watercolors) so I sketch first on normal printer paper and did the shortcut to transfer the sketch into the paper. This makes me feel less bad on using “shortcuts”
That's a really good idea, I struggle with erasers too and I often do watercolour so it's even worse, and it inhibits my painting as I'm scared to use lots of water or washes.. I can't believe I didn't think of transferring the picture after drawing it elsewhere! Thank you :D
What I do is create a basic gesture of how I want the image to be, and then use references to help me make the shape more realistic. They don’t have to be making the same pose or expression to be helpful. That way there is no pressure to replicate the reference, and you get the advantage of using one.
I agree. And with all the answers under this. I don't agree with tracing an image printed from google tho, unless it's for training and experimenting. I get it it's for a video and obviously, he knows how to paint, but to whoever sees this.. learn how to measure, anatomy, perspective, and the fundamentals of drawing rather than tracing a printed image from a random person from google. This is not art... it's copying. U are just a human printer. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️👎🏼
I'm up at 4:16am. Have not slept, I am in so much pain...my legs....anyway when you said "tickle your pickle" i went from crying to bursting out in laughter. Thank you for that. The small things in life sometimes makes the biggest difference.
After a long career as a designer/illustrator, I got out of it and did something else. Seeing these small painting "sketches" that are so lovely has given me the courage to get out my brushes and maybe start a painting career. Thank you so much.
This video had PERFECT timing! I could do paintings with one light source really well and find the ambient light and occlusion, but two or more light sources always eluded me... this actually helped to clear some things up, thank you!
I remember when I started out drawing, years back, I thought "Oh I'll draw in these great 5x8 inch sketchbooks, that'll be nice and portable and I'll get better every day because it'll go with me. And I learned so quickly that drawing smaller is so much harder before you've gained confidence in how to draw accurately. I love that you bring it up in painting, that at such a small scale it's best if you've had experience and you understand what you're doing. That being said, totes did not stop me from trying to paint a small gemstone in my own moleskine the other day.
I feel extremely called out by this video haha, I've been working on a bit of a smaller portrait and in doing final adjustments I completely messed up some proportions. It is always inspiring to see your beautiful works though. I loved seeing the other paintings in the background as well :)
Wise, humble, informative, skilled and damn good. The thing is he doesn’t need likes or praising comments to do what he does. He makes something really hard look easy. Teaches in a way that makes you pause the video. Inspired and informed. ✌🏽❤️🌎
The nuance is incredible. Jack of all trades, Master of none is a saying in 🇺🇸. Some dumb asshole came up with that one. His skill level and French perspective proves that. Not every word is translated to every language. It would do the world good to be multilingual as the EU is if only for perspective. (Cough cough) 🇺🇸
Stunning. I do not believe that this was/is an easy painting, or that the brilliance is from the Cinematographer alone. This is an incredible painting; You are amazing.
I always learn something new from your videos. This time I took those 4 divisions of painting the face. I've never tried to paint a face cause I was too scared but now that you've inspired me I might as well get it a shot. Thanks once again. Hope you're doing fine.
I finally found a pro painter/ content creator that makes sense. I have been a pro painter since 1987, and am recently starting out on the content creation road. wanting to reach so many and help so many more than the students I physically teach. I have as you have, watched many channels creating art tutorials, to see how they do it. I have watched several of your videos and agree with much of what you say upon this matter. Its refreshing to see and hear a fellow artist, telling it as it really is and without dressing it up. many thanks and glad a came across your channel. best wishes Paul
OK, let's get to drawing/painting......Just gonna watch a Motivational Alpay Efe video.....Three days later, still watching Alpay Efe videos: yep....gonna start painting soon.....soon.....after the next video.....
Maaaan, thank you for the tip for the lamp.... I was already looking for some good lamp for a while , so I was like 'mmmm sounds good, I'll try' and I do enjoy it very much. 👍
Always so soothing. I wonder whether you're into using masking tape and such. Seeing artists peel masking tape makes it ever so satisfying. To each their own I guess. Anyway, it's good to see you post a new video again, especially painting familiar scenes and/or object/characters from different media (I'm really curious on how you'd paint the old classic movies or even paintings from the time before our own). Thank you for uploading, and you to you, too: Have a good one. 😊👍🏻
@@AlpayEfeI am so glad that a great artist like you loves drawing movie scenes as well. Thats how I learned drawing. How about the selling rights of movie inspired paintings: am I allowed to sell them or do they need to be twisted to be not too similair to an original still foto? Thanks in advance.
You're channel is my favorite out of art channels that I know.... its very calming and peaceful + really useful tips .... thank you so much for making your lovely channel.🤍
Gosh I LOVE your voice. It makes me really pay attention. You have taught me a lot. Thanks for all you do. Hope you are doing ok....you know, since your dog passed.
Alpay: I will continue to use a ruler to draw a straight line because that's what rulers were made for Measurements of the sides of rulers: Am I a joke to you?!
Put a bunch of graphite on the back of your image and then place it on the surface you want it of, then on the side of the image press down firmly with a pen to press the graphite on the surface. By graphite I mean with a big pencil, hope that helps!
All you need is faith trust and a little pixie dust ;)
Wouldn't pixie dust make you fly though? I would imagine that would make it harder to paint :\
I saw that on your mug! Haha love it 😆
@@kiaraintheforest ???
@@somesortofgeek oh at 7:57 I noticed the mug on the desk. I think it's a quote from Tinkerbell, not too sure
@@kiaraintheforest Oh! i was just kidding around :) But thats cool too :O
every time he mentions how easy painting something is I feel like im being bullied haha
kat g
Not gonna lie me too😂
righttttttt?>???
“There’s no right or wrong... whatever tickles your pickle” he says so calmly 😂
The feeling is mutual mate😂😂

“Whateve tickles your pickle” made me super happy because the meaning of what you were saying about shortcuts

Thanks bro
The animations are so cool! 😍
Dude, you need to narrate some audiobooks. Your voice is really soothing 👍
I was thinking the same thing.
Ditto. 👍🏻
I really disagree, he has weird pauses, he pauses in the wrong spots. It’s jarring and disconcerting.
@@DisgruntledPigumon yeah, it really is..annoying. I find myself..waiting for..the next words..he's going to say..everytime. And it was..frustrating.
I would fall asleep...
"Whatever tickles your pickle" best quote 2020.
Richie tozier be like:
Best quote of 1978...
I heard that phrase in like 2017
@Otie Jason why the sour comment?

Mr Lime One nobody really cares, dude
You have so many talents! The editing, your voice/narration, you're educational, a great painter, bro you're the full package!
Thank you so much for the compliment 😀
I was giggling so much the whole video and “whatever tickles your pickle” came I lost it😂
Personally, I find painting at small/extremely small scales easier & more fun than big things :)

Painting is just simple as possitive and negative, Dark and light, like and dislike... It doesn't matter we are artist...
Great artist...

Thank you for the heart :3
The early worm is eaten by the bird ;)

That's a damn good movie scene 😤👍🏽✨✨
Whoa that skateboard/briefcase piece on the wall at 7:15 so in love
oil paint on a sketchbook? :00 show us your ways
Just put 1 or 2 coats of gesso on the paper, sand it down and you are good to go
@@julius4054 What do you mean by sand it down?
@@michazytecki965 Sand it down with sand paper to make it smoother
@@dun1626 cool thanks 👍
Oil painting on sketchbooks is a very common practice.

The moment he said “whatever tickles your pickle” I was like aight time to sub.
Very nice painting~^^ I enjoyed watching your video till the end~^^

Mükemmelsin ya gururumuzsun seni seviyoruz😍
Good art are capable to break boundaries...n come out uniqueness of the work...doing very well!!
I admire your skills.. Beautiful art
One of the best channels thank you Alpay!
Love all your videos, but there is something extra special about this one... both the painting and the messages. I keep watching it.
I LOVE watching your videos😍if ever happened you made a podcast I'd be the first to listen to. Your voice is relaxing!
I love your painting techniques
Always a pleasure watching your videos
The ASMR in the beginning 😭😭
You're channel is my favorite out of art channels that I know.... its very calming and peaceful + really useful tips .... thank you so much for making your lovely channel.🤍
boy! was i happy to receive the notification for this video!
Gosh I LOVE your voice. It makes me really pay attention. You have taught me a lot. Thanks for all you do. Hope you are doing ok....you know, since your dog passed.
The tiny thumbnails in the corner are really helpful
The editing for the video and the painting is superb! Love your content!
What he said about using tools that are at your disposal really stuck with me. I really needed to hear that.
Alpay: I will continue to use a ruler to draw a straight line because that's what rulers were made for
Measurements of the sides of rulers: Am I a joke to you?!
so glad you're back! I love your videos and your vibes thanks for the advice! 💕
Showing 3 tones,, in a drawing is an amazing 😍😍..I love it..
Really enjoy the new style of your videos :) Keep up the great work! And the lamp looks pretty usefull to me :)
Oh wow so amazing 😍
Great video, I love the animations
Qué gran obra de arte, colega. No hay duda de que toda tu experiencia te ha valido este dominio del pincel. ¡De corazón, felicidades!
very nice indeed!!!
This is the video I was looking for.. Many thanks
The still you decided to paint really compliments the lamp with it's cool and warm tint functionality
Love this Alpay! Your many hours wielding the brush are overwhelmingly apparent!
that's just so amazing and 🌟-s p e c i a l-🌟
I love your honesty. Subscribed.
Wow simply Amazing
^Wishing I had a second lamp^ - now that’s a clear statement to BenQ to provide another lamp to Alpay. Blunt but effective.
So cool, if only i can paint like this. Admire your skill.
I love this! ANd yeah, the lamp is indeed amazing tbh. But 200 bucks... Damn!!
Glade You Talk So Calmly, It relaxed me through all the video.
No Need To Mention but You're A Beautiful artist and it helped me :)
I enjoy watching your paintings as a source of inspiration. Please continue to do the amazing work you do
Yes absolutely nice
So beautiful
your words are always comforting to hear
Bingeing your content - absolutely LOVE your work (both your paintings as well as your videos - you have the heart of an educator!) Best to you
awesome...😍
your painting is very characteristic.
👌👌
Wow! It's so cool. I think you expressed the character's characteristics well. I learn well. I want to draw it once too~
found myself tearing up, thank you for the commentary in this
Please do a tutorial on how to trace sketches. And a sketching tutorial in general.
Put a bunch of graphite on the back of your image and then place it on the surface you want it of, then on the side of the image press down firmly with a pen to press the graphite on the surface. By graphite I mean with a big pencil, hope that helps!
I love you, your skill and the fact that the cup you are drinking out of has to do with pixie dust 🧚🏾
Great video! Thank you for the part where you isolate the different color sections!
I love the process that goes thank u so much for sharing . beautiful work
Wow! Thanks for sharing your awesome tutorial. ☺️❤️
God bless.🙏🏻
I love your spot-on tips and guidance, it’s the best 🥰 thank you for helping me become a better hobby artist ☺️
Beautiful painting! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Loving your video and felt in love with your super cool Tinker Bell mug!
You motivate me so much!!
Looks great!
I always paint at this size (mainly because a sketchbook is way cheaper than 1 canvas)
I am subscribing (love that mug)
really like the color choices for the skin tones, also this idea of painting well lit and well design ed movie scenes is super cool
Amazing Art Alpay! Love the way you paint the most Amazing Character!
Excellent work sir
wow awesome voice and artworks! I'm a fan! 😍
This is amazing 😍😍 love your style💕 I do art tutorials too
Oh and I have to get this lamp😍
My new favorite art channel. Thank you
Your art style is so unique! And i loved the painting!👍👍👍
Your german bully narration is suspenseful and dramatic in a Das Sound Machine(Pitch Perfect) sort of way. I like it.
Maybe not so german maybe more Israel, near Nazareth, but totally gettin das sound machine vibes
The color of your painting reminds me of Edward Hopper~! :)
