I’m convinced that artists that can draw or paint realistically have a special part of their brains activated. A true gift. I could always draw well up to a certain age while a teen and then could never get any better even with a lot of trying. My mind’s eye limited
It's interesting to hear your perspective! Realistic drawing and painting do indeed involve a combination of skills, practice, and a unique way of perceiving the visual world. While some individuals seem to have a natural inclination, it's important to remember that artistic abilities can also be developed through persistent practice and learning. It's not uncommon for people's creative journey to have periods of progress and plateaus. If you're interested in improving your skills, don't be discouraged by past experiences. Many factors can contribute to artistic growth, such as exploring new techniques, experimenting with different mediums, and seeking guidance from experienced artists or resources. Remember, each artist's journey is unique, and every step forward, no matter how small, contributes to your overall artistic development. Keep your passion alive and keep creating! 🎨😊
I highly encourage you to look into "Drawing on the right side of the brain" by Betty Edwards! I used to have that same mentality and this book helped me tremendously. I obviously still have much to improve, but this book is a fantastic tool you can always revisit, no matter your level. Keep creating!
Incredible portrait. I really like that you included the lines of the subject on top of the image. It made me understand the method a lot more. It also helped me see the shapes more too.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you found the portrait incredible and that the inclusion of the subject's lines on top of the image was helpful for your understanding🎨😊
I enjoy watching different artists drawing styles. Everyone unique. Once I went to a Picasso portraiture exhibit at the MoMA. I expected to see Head of Woman #11 and such. When I entered, the first panel was one small pencil sketch of his first young wife. It stopped me short. I've never seen anything like it before or since. Every line was thoughtfully placed with a touch and grace that's unparalleled. If there was any lingering question about his exceptional gift, it was laid to rest right there in that little pencil sketch. The rest of the exhibit was outstanding too, with biographical waves of his relationships with the women in his life. Each wife starts with a beautiful painting and ends in twisted agony, except for his daughter, which was always beautiful.
Thank you for drawing this picture so slowly so it can seep into my mind as to what you are doing. The music is very calming. Thank you for taking your time in this video.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you appreciate the pace of the video and the calming music. Taking time to explain and demonstrate the process slowly can really help viewers understand the techniques and concepts better. If you have any questions or if there's anything specific you'd like to learn more about, feel free to ask. Your feedback is valuable, and I'm here to assist you on your artistic journey!
Nice job. - At first, Andrew Loomis was not a very good art student. He was told by his teachers at the American Academy of Art to give up and try something else. But he persevered. By staying with it and working hard, he improved dramatically. He became a successful artist, teacher and author. Loomis is an inspiration for all. 11:07
Wow, look at that. From being told to try something else, to having his own method. No matter what, we just need to keep pushing. Thank you and blessings to you & everyone continuing on their art journey🙏🏾
To a non artist this is fascinating. I can see from this what a massive amount of patience one needs and intense concentration coupled with a deep experience of how to form the geometric shapes in two dimensions and create the illusion of 3D. I think you need to be brought up with visual talents being encouraged more than auditory talents which is why some can become excellent artists or when they have the other talent, become brilliant musicians. There is definitely nurture and nature in equal measures going on.
Great portrait. But I didn't get the method. It seems like you drew a circle, flattened 2 sides, added 2 circles for eyes - Then drew a perfect portrait over it.
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you liked the portrait. The method used might seem a bit challenging to grasp at first, but it involves starting with simple shapes as a foundation and gradually refining the details to create a realistic portrait. Practice and repetition can help you better understand and master this technique. If you have any specific questions or need more clarification on any part of the process, feel free to ask. Happy drawing and keep honing your skills! 😊🎨 This comment is from my second channel, don't forget to follow me there❤❤
This is not a great video BUT, what He is doing is finding the placement of the features. How they relate. Once this is done it looks like he just drew a perfect portrait. Also, a footnote, portraits that are perfect are boring and say nothing about the artist or the sitter. The objective of all Art is NOT perfection but interpretation and enhancing. He is just copying a photo adding nothing to the final image. Either about himself of her. Second footnote: Bridgman’s techniques was aimed primarily at drawing quickly for advertising. He was a illustrator for ad agencies. The client would tell him what they wanted and he would draws scetches …on the spot for them. They had to be perfect. But is isn’t what art is. Art is adaption, invention, interpretation…. Not perfection.
I disagree- I think it is a great video and maybe you just weren’t paying attention. The original “circles and lines” define the shapes/size, placement and then you can draw and shade and create a “perfect portrait”…. It’s the Loomis Method crystallized….great job.
Thank you for your excellent demonstration. I still need to develop my observational skill. My hand wants to get ahead of my eye. The result is drawing what I think the shape should be, rather than the actual shape. Practice, practice, practice - the key is concentration. It’s easily said, but sometimes, so damn hard!
I took drawing in college as an elective over forty years ago. This reminded me of what I learned back then. Now you have me thinking about sketching again. You did a great job and it was fun watching.
Thank you very much for the kind comment! I am very happy that my work reminded you of what you learned in the elective drawing classes you took in college over forty years ago. I believe that drawing is a valuable skill for everyone, regardless of age or experience. It is a great way to express yourself and your creativity, and it can also be a great way to relax and clear your mind.
Best tips for me from my own favourite art teacher: Draw what you see, not what you THINK you see. There is always a highlight with a shade. Spend more time looking at the subject than your page. 🤗
Your art teacher has provided some fantastic tips! Here's a breakdown of their advice: Draw What You See: This is a fundamental principle in art. Instead of relying on your preconceived notions, focus on observing the actual shapes, lines, and values present in your subject. This helps you create a more accurate representation. Highlight and Shade: Understanding light and shadow is crucial. Every object has highlights where light hits it directly and shades where light is blocked. This interplay creates depth and form in your artwork. Observe More, Draw Less: Dedicate ample time to studying your subject. The more you observe and analyze, the better you'll understand its intricacies and be able to depict them in your drawing. These tips are valuable for artists at all levels. Keep them in mind as you practice and create, and don't hesitate to experiment and explore your own unique artistic style! 🎨🤗
One exercise we did sometimes was drawing the picture upside down. Never really came out as good but it made you pay more attention to details and stuff the next time you drew something normally.
Instantly my new go to drawing lesson. If possible, can anyone please describe the various pencil shades that were used-including the white pen-colored pencil?
I think the most difficult concept in portrait drawing is getting proportions correct. Thank you. This was telling on how to help me start portraiture.
You're absolutely right! Getting the proportions correct is indeed one of the most challenging aspects of portrait drawing. It's a crucial foundation for achieving a likeness and creating a realistic representation. I'm glad to hear that the information provided has been helpful in guiding you through the process of starting portraiture🎨😊
This is an ineffective method for those who want to make a likeness portrait. The only, true, valid method is that of the academies where they teach you to take measurements with an outstretched arm. All other methods are beginner stuff that will get you nowhere. ruclips.net/video/y6D0UIkcO3E/видео.html
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the process and found the beginning to be helpful! Achieving a strong resemblance can indeed be challenging, but with practice and patience, it's something that can improve over time. Remember, art is a journey of continuous learning and growth.🎨❤️
For those in the comments who say they can't do this, consider this: We ALL possess an incredibly sensitive ability to recognize the most subtle of facial features. It's how we distinguish one individual from a million others. If we didn't, millions of people would appear identical, right? So, you DO have this skill. Additionally, each of us can sign our names uniquely. If this weren't the case, all our signatures would look identical, right? So again, you DO possess this ability. You might have convinced yourself otherwise. However, if you can recognize people and sign your name, you can certainly draw as impressively as the artist did in the video. What artists need is knowledge in the form of techniques aligned with their interests-perhaps a method similar to the one shown in the video or something entirely different. Learning a card game might seem daunting until we familiarize ourselves with the rules. Search for techniques that resonate with your learning style and practice them. What you're missing is the practice of knowledge. Techniques represent this knowledge. It's a journey that demands effort and time both to uncover the answers and to practice techniques. Continue experimenting with various techniques until you identify the ones you prefer. If you genuinely want to, you'll excel. I promise. And if you decide it's not for you, that's okay. Maybe as you've aged, your interests have evolved, and dedicating time to this no longer appeals to you. That's entirely fine. There's only so much time in a week. However, don't beat yourself up and try to assert that you're incapable. If you can recognize a passerby on the street, sign your own name, and are willing to invest time and effort to learn and practice, then you certainly can achieve proficiency, just like the artist in the video. Just understand that this artist has probably put in thousands of hours. Nobody is saying it's easy. But it's doable!
I am almost 60 years old. I started drawing 1 1/2 years ago, and you are 100% correct! I have tried colored pencils, pastel pencils, pastels sticks, and finally graphite. I have fallen in love with graphite, unlike the others. I felt like giving up until graphite, but I knew I should persevere, and here I am loving it and drawing so much better because I found what I love. I just love seeing the different tones in a drawing, especially the darkest darks, so I’m going to try my hand at charcoal, too. Thank you for the encouragement. Best comment on RUclips I’ve seen in a long, long time!
i am blown away, never did i think i could pick up a pencil and on my firsta ttempt at drawing a portrait actually get so close to something that resembles and actual human. i will do all your tutorials and maybe one day have the confidence to branch out to my own reference photos! you've taken a burned out doctor and given her a healing outlet
Artist are known to be visual learners and this type of teaching how to draw portraits are what I'm looking for long. There are many artist who teach portrait but verbal only but you made it better mate with this one
Very interesting video but I, although not an artist but having some talent as an amateur, i find that it is much more easier to copy a photo portrait than a real life model... I would like a tutorial in captivating a real life model face than a mere copy... Thank you...
I just realized that the circles on either side of the head are the indents in a skull. I’ve been drawing all wrong and centering the ears inside of the circles. Thank you for this.
Magnficent talent! It's a photocopy sans the photocopy machine. All the facial features and the emotion were on spot. May I know the type of pencil and the shading pen you used? I know it's the gifted hands that made the superb art possible, but having the right art materials can do miracles to a hopeless picasso like me.
m glad to hear that! Art has a wonderful way of bringing relaxation and joy. It's a great way to unwind and express yourself. If you continue enjoying the process of watching and creating art, it can have a positive impact on your overall well-being🎨😊
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! I'm glad to hear that you appreciate the way I present the artwork, showcasing the process from start to finish alongside the reference photo. ! 🎨🌟😊
Thank you for bringing back good memories of Mr Loomis method. I am 66. I found an old,beaten up book 50 years ago in a public library of La Paz, Bolivia. It was the only copy available of Mr. Loomis’ drawing book. I loved it! I fixed the book and returned it to the library. I hope it is still available for someone to benefit from it. Your skill is just wonderful. Blessings!
Thank you very much for your kind comment. I'm glad that my work has brought back fond memories of the Loomis Method. It's great to hear that you found an old Loomis book in a public library in Bolivia 50 years ago, and that you loved it so much. You did a wonderful thing by repairing the book and returning it to the library, so that others could benefit from it.
This is amazing.... drawing portraits can be quiet challenging at first but practice is the key am sure.. P.s what's the pencil type that you're using if you may
Resim eğitimi alan kişiler,tüm bu hesaplamaları bilirler.Lisedeyken hocamız bu teknikleri öğretmişti ve bu hesaplamalar tüm vücut için de geçerli.Aynı şekilde perspektif hesaplamaları da peyzaj çalışmaları için mutlaka gerekli,yine de eğitim almayanlar için çok faydalı bir video olmuş,teşekkürler 🌺
Nice work. I wonder at 21:15 when you use the different pen for shading, what type of pen is it that give the darker ink? is it a pencil? I’m a very beginner to art.
Great Drawing! On small thing I've observed: The right eye is slightly at an wrong position and both eyes are a little bit to large. From my experience: it so difficult to meet the right proportions, so the Loomis method is a very good advice - Thank You very much!
Its a great exercise in geometry, expecially the placement of features or points of intrest, the humam body has certain mathamatic rules, even here it was only a visual simple measure using the pencil, the geometry is stil present through familiarity. I liked it.
Nossa que dom!! Queria eu ter um dom assim.muito legal tirar e fazer qualquer tipo de cópias, dessa maneira.usando só as mãos e dedos, lápis.perfeito este desenhista.
Great portrait drawinh...your skills are extraordinary... 90% similarity of the techniques you teach are very accurate and easy to understand.. you are a master in this field, make me your student
Thank you for the kind words! I am glad that you think my portrait drawings are great and that you find my teaching methods accurate and easy to understand. I am always working to improve my skills, and I appreciate your feedback.
I truly appreciate your kind words! It's wonderful to hear that you found both the music and the artwork captivating. Capturing the essence and beauty of a subject is one of the joys of art. If you have any more thoughts to share or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss, feel free to let me know. I'm here to assist and support your creative journey! 😊🎨
Interesting method. I've been drawing portraits all my life. If you keep shading it will look like a black and white photo. It will take hours though. Also a tip I learned from an art teacher. Draw the hair coming out from the scalp at the top and follow it down like the hair goes. And keep doing it until it looks like hair and not pencil lines. I also use my eraser to highlight.
I'm glad you find it beautiful! Remember, artistic skills can be developed over time with practice and dedication. If you're interested in creating similar artwork, don't hesitate to start experimenting and learning. Everyone starts somewhere, and with persistence, you can achieve amazing results. If you have any questions or need guidance along the way, feel free to ask. Keep exploring your creative side! 🎨😊
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. I'm always happy to answer questions about drawing and art, so please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any other questions.
Me gusto mucho tu método!! Ubicaste el circulo, pero lo partistes en la mitad, y la mitad de abajo en dos mitades, tambien adjuntastes 2 circulos para los ojos, observé que el circulo grande estaba un poco girado, de acuerdo a la posicion del rosto. Con toda esta tecnica tuya, no podemos fallar. Muchas gracias ❤
¡Me alegra mucho saber que te gustó el método! Es genial que hayas notado los detalles como la división del círculo y los ajustes para los ojos. La precisión en la ubicación y proporciones de las características es fundamental para crear retratos exitosos. Si tienes más preguntas, comentarios o si deseas aprender más sobre el arte, no dudes en decirme. ¡Estoy aquí para ayudar en lo que necesites! 😊🎨
Hi, can you please let me know if you also placed the reference lines in the reference photo also or you just imagined those lines in your reference photo?
You're very welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that you find the method helpful and accurate. Giving it a try and experimenting with new techniques is a fantastic way to improve your skills and create wonderful art. Remember, every step you take in your artistic journey contributes to your growth😃🎨🌟
Haha, it seems you've cleverly coined a new term by blending "revealing" and "unveiling" together - "unvealing"! Language is always evolving, and creative combinations like this can result in new words that effectively convey a concept. While "unvealing" isn't a standard word in the English language yet, it's a playful and innovative way to express the idea of revealing something through the act of unveiling. Keep exploring the beauty of language and creativity! 🌟🗣️
As a beginner artist, i find it really hard to draw a person's eyes, especially on a portrait. Can you please make a video specifically about this one? Thank you very much.
Of course! I understand that drawing eyes can be challenging, especially for beginners. I'll be more than happy to create a video tutorial specifically focused on drawing a person's eyes in a portrait. I'll break down the process step by step and provide tips to help you master this important element of portrait drawing. Keep an eye out for the video, and I hope it will be helpful to you.

Who tought you to draw with this style.. I thought I was the only one who used this style to draw.

Thank you! I'm studying how to learn to do portrait and this video has helped me a lot with the guided lines.
I think the most difficult concept in portrait drawing is getting proportions correct. Thank you. This was telling on how to help me start portraiture.
You're absolutely right! Getting the proportions correct is indeed one of the most challenging aspects of portrait drawing. It's a crucial foundation for achieving a likeness and creating a realistic representation. I'm glad to hear that the information provided has been helpful in guiding you through the process of starting portraiture🎨😊
I just can’t get the hang of this method. You make it look so doable. I need to practice more I think.
Thank u ♥️
Don't EVER stop practicing, it's the one secret to success.

A BUS LOAD OF PRACTICE!!.. even after you get it, keep practicing lol.. the only way!!
It’s A Ridiculous Tutorial - Best Lose the TERRIBLE music … And Add a level of Narration 💣😝
Simply beautiful to see how it all came together.
The initial guidelines of dividng the face into 1/3rds is very important.
love the process, the beginning was amazing, truly helpful. the resemblance part is always very though.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the process and found the beginning to be helpful! Achieving a strong resemblance can indeed be challenging, but with practice and patience, it's something that can improve over time. Remember, art is a journey of continuous learning and growth.🎨❤️
Awesome job thanks for shearing
Una manera perfecta de enseñanza, un poquito observador y se completa y vamos pintando y dibujando si lo quieren. Muy bueno. Gracias
fascinating watching you making the "mathematical calculations" as you draw....thank you!!!!
i love the patience in this, slowly crafting the perfect end result

I suggest using the tried and true old grid method. More accurate and less basic skill required.
Such a beautiful subject and what an accomplishment.
Great work and also I love the piano music in the background. Very tranquil.
Brilliant! Best explanation of Loomis method- I now get it, thanks
This video has inspired me to get back to my portrait drawings, loved it!
I'm so glad!
Very interesting video but I, although not an artist but having some talent as an amateur, i find that it is much more easier to copy a photo portrait than a real life model... I would like a tutorial in captivating a real life model face than a mere copy... Thank you...
Excellent 👌
I’m an amateur Artist and work on portraiture. Your video was an inspiration.👍
When I cross my eyes I can see where tiny errors came from... Amazing skill! And very hard! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for posting this amazing tutorial. It is really precious! thank you!!!
😊 You're welcome! I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful. I hope you continue to enjoy my tutorials.
Brilliant. Great tutorials without a word spoken.
💞
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad that you found the tutorials helpful.
I just realized that the circles on either side of the head are the indents in a skull. I’ve been drawing all wrong and centering the ears inside of the circles. Thank you for this.
Eres un gran Maestro. Muchas gracias por compartir. Pulgares arriba y me suscribo a tu canal. Saludos y bendiciones para todos desde Puebla, México.
So talented, the technique is just a detail. Thanks!
It's all about observing ... angles, proportions,lengths. shapes lights, darks.
Magnficent talent! It's a photocopy sans the photocopy machine. All the facial features and the emotion were on spot. May I know the type of pencil and the shading pen you used? I know it's the gifted hands that made the superb art possible, but having the right art materials can do miracles to a hopeless picasso like me.
Thank you very much
Lindo trabalho eu amo.parabens e muito sucesso
Muito obrigado pelo seu apoio e palavras gentis! 🎨😊
I don't know why, but just watching it makes me feel wayyyy relaxed
m glad to hear that! Art has a wonderful way of bringing relaxation and joy. It's a great way to unwind and express yourself. If you continue enjoying the process of watching and creating art, it can have a positive impact on your overall well-being🎨😊
Amazing thank you for so much peace watching such talent.❤
💞
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad that I could provide some peace and enjoyment for you.
I just found you for the first time very nice artwork I like how you show it from start to finish all in one take and have the photo next to it
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! I'm glad to hear that you appreciate the way I present the artwork, showcasing the process from start to finish alongside the reference photo. ! 🎨🌟😊
That was fabulous, thank you. Just subscribed. Getting a likeness is one of the hardest things. I'll definitely give your method a litle try.
Thank you for bringing back good memories of Mr Loomis method. I am 66. I found an old,beaten up book 50 years ago in a public library of La Paz, Bolivia. It was the only copy available of Mr. Loomis’ drawing book. I loved it! I fixed the book and returned it to the library. I hope it is still available for someone to benefit from it. Your skill is just wonderful. Blessings!
Thank you very much for your kind comment. I'm glad that my work has brought back fond memories of the Loomis Method. It's great to hear that you found an old Loomis book in a public library in Bolivia 50 years ago, and that you loved it so much. You did a wonderful thing by repairing the book and returning it to the library, so that others could benefit from it.
Very helpful! No cuts straight tutorial process thank u
You're welcome! I'm glad I could be helpful. I try my best to be clear and concise , and I'm always happy to provide more information if needed.
Fabulous. Very well done and easy to follow. Thank you.
Thanks! Good luck ♥️
This is amazing.... drawing portraits can be quiet challenging at first but practice is the key am sure..
P.s what's the pencil type that you're using if you may
H & HB and 2B for pens and for Canson 150g paper
Resim eğitimi alan kişiler,tüm bu hesaplamaları bilirler.Lisedeyken hocamız bu teknikleri öğretmişti ve bu hesaplamalar tüm vücut için de geçerli.Aynı şekilde perspektif hesaplamaları da peyzaj çalışmaları için mutlaka gerekli,yine de eğitim almayanlar için çok faydalı bir video olmuş,teşekkürler 🌺
Very impressive!! Nice work!
Nice work. I wonder at 21:15 when you use the different pen for shading, what type of pen is it that give the darker ink? is it a pencil? I’m a very beginner to art.
Great Drawing! On small thing I've observed: The right eye is slightly at an wrong position and both eyes are a little bit to large.
From my experience: it so difficult to meet the right proportions, so the Loomis method is a very good advice - Thank You very much!
What channel do you show `your` perfectly proportioned sketches on
Its a great exercise in geometry, expecially the placement of features or points of intrest, the humam body has certain mathamatic rules, even here it was only a visual simple measure using the pencil, the geometry is stil present through familiarity. I liked it.
I'm am so glad you are able to do that 😊
thanks a lot 🌺🌺
Merci pour cette démonstration.
Merci beaucoup
Nossa que dom!! Queria eu ter um dom assim.muito legal tirar e fazer qualquer tipo de cópias, dessa maneira.usando só as mãos e dedos, lápis.perfeito este desenhista.
Great portrait drawinh...your skills are extraordinary... 90% similarity of the techniques you teach are very accurate and easy to understand.. you are a master in this field, make me your student
Thank you for the kind words! I am glad that you think my portrait drawings are great and that you find my teaching methods accurate and easy to understand. I am always working to improve my skills, and I appreciate your feedback.
I got it. Beautiful portrait. Thank you!
Music and that photo. She’s mesmerizing.
And May I add…the way you drew her photo is breathtaking.
I truly appreciate your kind words! It's wonderful to hear that you found both the music and the artwork captivating. Capturing the essence and beauty of a subject is one of the joys of art. If you have any more thoughts to share or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss, feel free to let me know. I'm here to assist and support your creative journey! 😊🎨
Impressive!
I recommend learning basic shapes in perspective ASAP, as this will help you trouble shoot difficult angles where it matters alot
Can you do the same as this (with overlap[ lines in the picture) but with your voice teaching us what you are looking and thinking while drawing?
Interesting method. I've been drawing portraits all my life. If you keep shading it will look like a black and white photo. It will take hours though. Also a tip I learned from an art teacher. Draw the hair coming out from the scalp at the top and follow it down like the hair goes. And keep doing it until it looks like hair and not pencil lines. I also use my eraser to highlight.
Absolutely amazing video...very helpful....so accurate!
I wish I could do that. It's so beautiful!
True and real art!
I'm glad you find it beautiful! Remember, artistic skills can be developed over time with practice and dedication. If you're interested in creating similar artwork, don't hesitate to start experimenting and learning. Everyone starts somewhere, and with persistence, you can achieve amazing results. If you have any questions or need guidance along the way, feel free to ask. Keep exploring your creative side! 🎨😊
Thanks for these videos you made me understand this method more, thanks a lot👍🏻👍🏻
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. I'm always happy to answer questions about drawing and art, so please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any other questions.
You are so awesome for this Loomis Method. Looks so super amazing portrait drawings. I love enjoying this 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank U ❤
Me gusto mucho tu método!! Ubicaste el circulo, pero lo partistes en la mitad, y la mitad de abajo en dos mitades, tambien adjuntastes 2 circulos para los ojos, observé que el circulo grande estaba un poco girado, de acuerdo a la posicion del rosto. Con toda esta tecnica tuya, no podemos fallar. Muchas gracias ❤
¡Me alegra mucho saber que te gustó el método! Es genial que hayas notado los detalles como la división del círculo y los ajustes para los ojos. La precisión en la ubicación y proporciones de las características es fundamental para crear retratos exitosos. Si tienes más preguntas, comentarios o si deseas aprender más sobre el arte, no dudes en decirme. ¡Estoy aquí para ayudar en lo que necesites! 😊🎨
Hi, can you please let me know if you also placed the reference lines in the reference photo also or you just imagined those lines in your reference photo?
Wonderfully done! However the right side of the lower nares of the nose needs a bit more work. 🤗😊
Very well done, looking more like perfect🎉😊
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic response!🎨🌟😊
This is probably the least complex but most accurate method I've seen to date. Real keen to give it a whirl...... 😃
Thanks for sharing your skills.
You're very welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that you find the method helpful and accurate. Giving it a try and experimenting with new techniques is a fantastic way to improve your skills and create wonderful art. Remember, every step you take in your artistic journey contributes to your growth😃🎨🌟
A grid is easier, more accurate and forgiving of lack of skill.
Always back(ing) to drawing board! Good job!
I'm glad you appreciate my work. I do my best to be helpful and informative.
Maravilloso!!!!!
Quel talent, j'ai toujours été subjugué par le dessin artistique... 💗💞 art que je ne maitrise absolument pas

Bravissimo grazie di tutto cuore ❤️

Great Job!

Wow that is amazing!
Unvealing? Is that a new word? An amalgamation of revealing and unveiling!
Haha, it seems you've cleverly coined a new term by blending "revealing" and "unveiling" together - "unvealing"! Language is always evolving, and creative combinations like this can result in new words that effectively convey a concept. While "unvealing" isn't a standard word in the English language yet, it's a playful and innovative way to express the idea of revealing something through the act of unveiling. Keep exploring the beauty of language and creativity! 🌟🗣️
As a beginner artist, i find it really hard to draw a person's eyes, especially on a portrait. Can you please make a video specifically about this one? Thank you very much.
Of course! I understand that drawing eyes can be challenging, especially for beginners. I'll be more than happy to create a video tutorial specifically focused on drawing a person's eyes in a portrait. I'll break down the process step by step and provide tips to help you master this important element of portrait drawing. Keep an eye out for the video, and I hope it will be helpful to you.
정말 멋져요. 저도 배우고 싶네요. 영상 잘 봤습니다. 대한민국에서 봤습니다.
