    Hey guys! You have all been asking for this video for sooo long so I thought it was time I made it! I hope you enjoy it and find it useful :) Do you want to see me create an accurate sketch for a realistic portrait next time???
    All likes, comments, shares and subscribes are really appreciated!

      Kirsty Partridge Art i was so excited to see this. I primarily prefer reference-free invention. Can you do more like this? Especially with hair? Hair is the weirdest for me and I don’t feel like the references help enough.

      Kirsty Partridge Art yes! An accurate sketch for a realistic portrait tutorial!! Also one for animals😁

    The best part of Kristy's videos is that she teaches throughout the video instead of a background music which other artists usually use. 😌 Thanks to that I am improving 😊

    The most important things in selftought drawing is to learn shading and not beeing afraid to make a mistake. It's amazing when you can express your mind on paper. The most annoying thing in selftought drawing is that people will see it as a talent. They don't see the hard work and frustrations you've gone trough, they just say it's talent.

    I'm finally getting back into drawing and I am blown away by your art. I just discovered your channel and I really appreciate these sort of videos as a new artist. In most tutorial videos no one ever explains proportion. This helped me in so many ways. Thank you and I hope to see more tutorials for beginners from you. Have a wonderful day.

    Thank you so much for this video! Your teaching method is super great and encouraging! I am CONSTANTLY having issues with faces and I am CONSTANTLY having people ask me to paint faces on small figurines with no established features, like angels. I have tried other methods that seem to have 800 measurements/angles for the head to establish proportion properly, and your gentle technique seems easiest for me!

    I'm happy to see someone else drawing with a fineliner and then "colouring" with pencil and stompf! That's how some of my best artwork has been made. So freeing to know you can just erase if the shading goes wrong. I'm inspired to do more in this technique now!

    This is exactly the videos i'm looking for. It explains exactly how to get the proportions right. I think you should make more videos like this for beginners, because most people who search on RUclips for tutorials are beginners anyway.

    Thank you for this! I have drawn most of my life and really I have just been "winging it". If it works, it works ... but now I am frustrated how I am unable to recreate proportion and movement (in the body and length). Now, whenever I see artists, they seem to start out with a rough "guide". This was fantastic, and humbling to watch - as i see there is still much I need to learn. I jumped ahead at some point and missed the basics... So embarrassing. This is y I am a "amateur artist" ^_~ lol

    Came across your tutorials the other day. I have to say, amazing and brilliant work. You definitely make it look easy, but you do explain things well. I have started to draw in 2016, but mainly have done sketches only and really have not done much in terms of guidelines nor shading. But I am getting to the point of wanting to make more realistic looking drawings. Keep up the great work!

    Thank you, SO much for not only taking the time to do this, but in the extremely step-by-step camera work. Best I've seen. I'm extremely new to sketching and drawing, but have always wanted to try it. I have bought good quality pencils, some decent paper, erasers, etc. However, I also have printer paper and normal HB pencils - I love that you almost encourage that. I cannot wait to get onto the inking on stage.

    the thing is u need to practice i decided that i need to be pro at art and im sketching faces everyday , i just sketched this face and it turned out not good but tomorrow im gonna do a new one everyday im gonna sketch a face practice makes perfect , many fellow artisians have practiced a lot before actually becoming pro and they did succeed u should hope to become better , but hope alone is not enough practice and hope and that is clearly enough please dont compare urself to others and say that u cant draw u can u r truly amazing the way you are and you are beautiful with all of your flaws many people will discourage vut u need to stop listening to what they think , listen to what you think , listen to your heart , do you like your drawing ? , do you like your art ? practice and it will become excellent , and never discourage yourself and saay u cant because then your brain will take this fact and insist on it then you will keep on thinking youcant , my sketch looked bad i cant give up , not now
    YOU ARE AMAZING AND TRULY EXTRAORDINARY AND YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO ❤💖

    Yes I would like to see more proportional tuttorials. Especially with the focus on realism. I've been getting a lot out of your videos.
