42:50 this lesson is worth years of understanding art. I was even telling my gf the other day that my goal isn't to draw photorealism. To me that's something you can just use a camera. Sure it's a skill that needs to be mastered, but what drives my love for art is what it means to me, what it means to whom the drawing is for. What made Rembrandt a master is the fact that you can see the psychology in the facial features, the purpose in why someone is rendered a certain way, the meaning in the apparel worn in the canvas. When you can captivate your viewer, even yourself, to focus on these particular gestures, then meaning can go from a puddle to an ocean from the impression that is has put in context.
Thank you well said
I just wanted to say thank you, a lot of artists wont understand how valuable this info is, It changed my game overnight and im self taught 15 years in
Thank you for the comment. Value is so important 🙏✍️
How is your art now? (im 15 now btw lol)

Thank you for the comment 🙏♥️ hello Philippines 🇵🇭♥️
I just finished this session today. As a self-taught artist, I consider you as one of the greatest online mentors. Thank you for this very insightful tutorial! Greetings from the Philippines
Thank you so much 🙏
Wow! I’m blown away by your candid and remarkable video! Your way of explaining light, values. Is great! What I loved most was the concept of designing a pattern! I had not thought of it that way! My. ‘Aha’ moment! Thanks 🙏🙂
Welcome. Thank you for the comment 🙏
Absolutely phenomenal lesson! I can't tell you how long I've had trouble with lighting, I thought I had all the variables and I just couldn't figure out why everything always seemed just a tad off. This is the biggest click moment I've had with art since learning about shape language and I am over the moon! Thank you so much for releasing something like this for free!
You’re welcome. Glad it was helpful ✍️
Im a 13 year old whos just starting to take art seriously, and ur tutorials help so much, Chris!
That's great! Thank you. Glad they are helpful.
I like the egg form for the demonstratrion figure at 27:17 for a couple reasons. First, it's a straight on shot with our eye level roughly the same as the figures, creating an overall oval shape to the head mass. The light direction produces a 3/4 Rembrandt style shadow effect, and int this case Egg lighting seems to fit the figure well. Box forms I would guess come in more handy when the shot is a 3/4 or from a higher or lower angle and one could maybe use the box to help solve perspective problems and deal with lighting when multiple planes of the head are visible? The cylinder also seems appropriate moreso for figures that are turned away from the viewer in some way, and maybe it helps capture wrapping forms like the mouth or browline.
Thank you so much 🙏
Fantastic tutorials as usual. Very helpful! Thank you, Chris for your teaching.❤❤❤
Love the review of basics. Always important to practice the basics as it all starts from there. I also love your candid remarks and how real you are in your narrative and teaching. Thanks

On the chin, did you use shade #4 pie square root of 6?
Boris Vallejo (a suburb & original fantasy Artist) says that it's the ILLUSION of a 3d look to aim for in painting/illustrating in his Art technique book,
As for hair/fur to me it's okay to take time to...describe it's texture but ONLY at the advanced stages of drawing/painting, & provided you know how, it can be done.
With this CARRAVAGIO type lighting I find it best to start with the darkest value first, & keep comparing one tone with another
Thank you so much 🙏
Your drawing is noticeably BETTER than the photo reference, which is often the case and the point of fine Art, the girl looks more...innocent & pure in your interpretation of her.
photography tends to be TOO sharp especially nowadays there is something about drawings...simplicity that makes an image more subtle &...dreamlike giving it the advantage,
not being able to precisely copy a photograph IS the advantage often.
Thank you so much 🙏
Butterfly lighting is front and above not directly above. You shouldn't have dark eye sockets just a small butterfly shaped shadow under the nose. It's very flattering and used a lot in fashion.
Thank you for the comment and suggestion.
This is so good. Thank you!!!

Hi! I checked out your website and most of the pages are disconnected, even though this video is only a few days old- could you advise where we can study with you, is it the New Masters Academy? I really appreciate your teaching style and am dying to learn portrait and figure drawing and painting!!!!
And I have seen Sean Cheetham's work before, such an interesting mix of subjects! and thanks for pointing out the lighting chosen, learning a lit here!
@@tumblingrosesstudio Thank you so much. Lighting is so important

Good choices ✍️
I was born in Thailand Bangkok, right now I am in New York
Very cool. Welcome
Three quarter
@42:00 “You need to design a pattern that create effect of realism “ “You can control the value of your drawing…” “Don’t just copy what you see. Design a pattern that creates effect.”
Yes! ✍️🔥
The eye ball much like a shadow isnt black, is NEVER truly white although minimal shading is required I'd say on it.
Thank you for your comments ✍️
Türkçe altyazılı olmasını çok isterdim
Thank you 🙏
I'm guilty sir. thank you.
We all are :)
What artists tend to do when drawing faces (especially from photographs) is to separate say the eye iris from the white of the ball more than it looks in a photo, I notice you've done this here which is an enhancement all part of improving on a photo (& some say using photographs, is cheating i would disagree.
Thank you so much 🙏
Very informative. but the language bro. Im pretty sure there are other kids watching this.
😂😂thank you 🤣🤣
What language?
@@myles5158 him using foul language might not bother u but it bothered me that theres some kids watching.
