youre like the cool art uncle i never had,,, such amazing videos! i normally cant focus on watching tutorials and i end up skipping to the end, but with yours im able to watch the entire vid!
Thanks so much! Glad you commented! Comments like yours help motivate me to continue on and produce more (wish I could do it full-time, but alas, not at that point yet) 😊
I have one in the works. Fitting it into a schedule that suddenly got super-busy is the challenge. So, not sure when I'll get it finished and posted. Knowing that people like you enjoy the way I explain helps keep me motivated, though. Thanks for your comment! 😊
Wow! It's truly been years since anyone has actually given me some new technique for my art that I haven't seen before. I was skeptical there was anything here new to me. But I got TWO really helpful techniques out of this. I'm so excited to put them to use!
@@dianagibson4923 Vine charcoal is Wonderful stuff! I've used it for lots of things. Another way to transfer would be to use the vine charcoal on the back of the sketch, and then use the sketch like a carbon paper. Easy, but can be a bit messy.
@@artistchronicle I just found your channel and love it!!! I hope you come back with some new videos when you can! Thanks for all the informative and fun content! ❤️
This was a wonderful lessons. I have taught for years and this grid method seems to be confusing for so many…..breaking it down like this was incredibly simple. I am forwarding this video to all of my students.
In addition to the bonus tip, what also works is drawing lines diagonally from corner to corner to find the center. Then draw a horizontal and vertical line through the center (erase the diagonals also). After that you can divide these resulting rectangles in half to your heart's content until you have the grid you want.
This also works for parting of foods, an example is if you are baking bread and need yeast or butter but the bought cube is twice the weight needed, simply cut corner to opposite corner instead of guesstimating where the middle is. Need a quarter if the original amount? Make a cut from longest side of the recently created triangle, from the longest side in a 90 degree angle to the corner with the widest arc (the shortest line from the top of the pyramid to the base). And so on.
I thought this same thing when I first started watching, but the thing is, the squares will be different sizes in the end. This method he showed works good if you have a specific amount of grid lines you want(something that isn't divided evenly by 2 or 4, etc.) or if you have a certain size grid you want to do.
@@gozinta82 Thanks for your comment! So... I attended a traditional art school and the grid method I show in this video is the method I learned there. I have since seen the diagonal method and my first impression was that it was different, but pretty impressive. It's an especially good choice when doing a mural. But I go with what I know. Which is the square or rectangle grid method. Also, to me, something about it just feels right and is more esthetically pleasing. But, both methods have value. Probably just a personal choice in the end.
Thank you oh gods of the algorithm! Stumbled onto this video, and I could not be more delighted! Great host, great info, great presentation; subscribed!
Thank you for a truly helpful set of tools. Most ‘hacks’ are not useful, I do not oil paint, I do random crafts and this knowledge will serve me well. Oh and I shared this with my daughter who does oil paint. 😉💜
This grid method is brilliant! I am thrilled to see this method. I have a piece of vine charcoal that never works and I’m concluding it must be too hard I’m going to throw it away and get some soft vine charcoal.
I'm very surprised. I've never taken a single art class and I've been doing a version of this graph method as it occurred to me when i tried to recreate a Leonid Afremov painting. But i have never heard of soft vine charcoal, i was using pencil. Now I've got to find this particular charcoal. Thank you very much, the pencil has been a thorn in my side when trying to remove or cover it especially when on an area that requires a light color. Lovely video.
I absolutely love this video. its amazing how you took complicated and made it simple. I hope you get millions of views. Well done. Star quality video here
Hi Kyle! Yes it's been quite a while. Great to see you're still here on YT! You probably don't know this… but I first heard of YT from you. You told our illustrators club about a rap video (I think it was) you created that got a lot of views. Got me curious, so I decided to check this YT thing out. Forever grateful, my friend! 👍
@@Danielle26111 if you Google artist chronicle, he has a website where he addresses where he's been. He said he was going to start producing videos again soon but I haven't seen any
New sub from UK .... You sound like your from UK. Do you do private tutorials or lessons or whatever?? I love your humour etc. Glad I found you good sir!
Wow, that bonus tip is pure gold. I can't believe I've never seen that before. Thanks!
You're very welcome! I felt the same way when I first learned about it… and such a simple thing to do, too!

Yes bro😢
Yeah
Amazing tip. Especially the bonus tip. The simplicity just blew my mind yet it would never have occurred to me to do that ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know. Right? Appreciate your comment! 🙂
Couldn't you just take a photo of the subject and use a pantograph?
I need more tutorials from you 😍😭 love the way you explain 😍❤️

@@paigetomkinson1137Yes. That method works well if the final painting will be the same size as the preliminary drawing. Appreciate your input!
The editing of this video is amazing!!! I LOVED THIS VIDEO! It was so entertaining and informative
Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment!
You make the grid method so much more easier to understand.
Awesome! Glad you commented!

I was taught that style of grid when I was about fifteen but I didn’t know about the charcoal method - thanks for that - I will try that method.
Awesome! Thanks for your comment!
I remember doing those grid pictures in kids puzzle books when young. Haha.
LOVE the easy division tip. * smacks head. So easy.

Please sir, your videos are too informative and valuable, please upload more. (from a humble student fan)😢
That is quite clever the way you used the ruler to set lines in the grid.
The bonus is the video. The video is the bonus.
It's so obvious and I was oblivious!

Awesome video! Will soft vine charcoal also come of canson paper, and un-toned canvas like it does on your toned canvas? Thanks for the tutorial!
The soft vine charcoal should work really well for that, but you may have to erase instead to get rid of it at the end.
Genius bonus tip!
