      You should never start working from the eye bro. The ideea is to separate light from shadow in the beginning

    Well done, Sergey. One of the better tutorials I've found on RUclips. Sometimes it seems artists do these just to say, "This is what I can do and you can't." But in his narrative, Sergey gives enough info to make it useful - a light pencil sketch to start, and of course be able to draw all proportions perfectly because otherwise your portrait will never look right. Then he describes the paints he uses for the eyes, cool & warm shadows, highlights, etc. All in all, well worth watching.

      This is not a tutorial, but just a skill. You will not be able to repeat it, because the person does not show you the stages of work (which he was taught), but only the end result.

      Painting with oil is a completely different compared to pencilsketches. To get used to the new medium you can start with painting a tomato. Less difficult to sketch, less shadows, but you'll lose the fear of painting with oil.

      correct. if you cannot make a face with a pencil, pen or any other medium, you can't with paint either. Same rules, same hand and arm techniques, understanding of anatomy, light and shadow, drapery, color theory and general experience.

    it was my first time painting with oils today but i was surprised when it didn't look like a beginner piece at all. it was probably about the fact that i haad experience from painting with acrylics and already learning the basics about light and dark already but never the less it made me really happy. so dont look at it and give up because it looks too hard cause besides the extra stuff to use, its pretty simple.

  • @Cryptidsim
    @Cryptidsim 6 лет назад +4

    A lot of this I already knew, but a little something extra for me just clicked while I was watching you paint! Not all the light parts of the face (or the dark parts) get the same amount of light (or shadow). It seems like a pretty simple observation, true, but there was a bit of dissonance with the thought while painting previous paintings. I feel like I can apply the concept more effectively, now. :)
    Sometimes it's impossible to put what's missing into words, but I feel like I got it now

    • @renzo6490
      @renzo6490 6 лет назад +2

      Brooklyn “....not all the light parts of the face get the same amount of light.”
      Correct.
      The face is composed of curved forms...nose, cheeks, eye lids etc.
      You might review videos that show how light shining on a sphere creates a sense of volume .
      The gradation of light to dark shows how light behaves as it shines on a rounded surface.

      Paperbackwriter Stop being a sissy and go spend $50 on some basic oils. You'll never know if you never try, right? Start with a basic colors set and some medium and solvent. You won't regret it. It has a reasonably steep learning curve if you're just starting, but if you can already paint with WC/Acrylic, you're 90% there already. Good luck and happy painting! 👍
