I am back with another Do's and Don'ts for drawing a face :D I really hope you find it useful! What did you guys learn from the video? Do you have any tips to add?
My Hands : yes I can My eyes : let me see the picture woah it's easy to draw My brain : well let's do it together team work is best After a hour : wait who's that person I don't draw this person . Me : blaming my eyes you ruined it . My bad eyes .
She really has a point.. This isn't about different styles of art, Realism it is! especially when someone wants you to draw and pay commission just to achieve the sketch of their faces.. This is a perfect example of tutorial plus if you're having a good structure of reference.
When she was explaining all the "don'ts", I was literally cringing bc I do each and every mistakes and although my sketches aren't really bad, they definitely miss the ultra realism.
If you're a beginner i highly suggest that u trace your outline. That's how i started and now im pretty good at freehand without even tracing my reference. There's nothing wrong with tracing:))
tracing can be a good learning technique, but it's also just as important to credit the original creators of the media you traced, should you post your picture later 🤍
I've learned two things in my amateur attempts at drawing, and you've mentioned both of them, albeit with different phrasing: - Real life doesn't have outlines. - Draw what you see, not what you think should be there.
and if you're drawing digitally u can flip the image to c wuts wrong cuz sometimes u get too used to ur unflipped drawing that u dont notice the mistakes
@@CharbelY yeah but do you realize how many hours she had to put in unpaid before getting monetized? It takes a LOT to make tutorial videos, time editing, filming, plus all the money you have to put out for equipment and supplies. Just saying...

at my art school they didn't allow us to use an eraser or blend with fingers. Everybody can achieve a soft transition with a finger smudge but being able to do it by controlling pressure on your pen is something much more difficult and requires more practice, which at the end helps you a lot. As for the eraser, this makes you very conscious of your moves and actually frees you to see all of the lines you created so just like watercolor forces you to think out your move.
teaching somebody to not use erasers is a terrible idea, unless it's a practice or a study. as for smudging, only use that to put in big blocks of large very light color in my opinion
There's something special about a face... The face is the mirror of the mind, the eyes of people reflect the desires of their heart... I guess life is a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see... eyes are very similar to paintings in that regard, eyes often times say more then words can... if you can say it in words there's no need to paint it... Always love to see other artists at work. Great video.

The things that I learn from watching this video: -the softer the better -never rush, always take time Thank you so much. Btw, what pencils do you recommend?
I recommend the one that you have at home, bcs you should be able to do art with anything you have and have the same result using "cheap" and "expencive" pencils, erasers, etc...) 😂

@@saturn_stars she cut the sides off of a shoe box, and made us draw our other hand just from what we were seeing. we couldn't look at the paper we were drawing on. the practices turned out like shit, but once we learned how to draw without staring at what we were sketching, they turned out great.
Realism takes time, and I want to get things done quickly haha yeah that's basically why I probably always be more of a sketcher My attention span is about an hour at most :p then I'm off to do something else
I used to have a lot of trouble with getting an accurate sketch. I would always do it freehand and it took me at least an hour just to get a small, somewhat basic accurate sketch. Now, I don't use the grid method, but I find just simply measuring for perspectives really helps speed up the process. For example, I will measure with my pencil how the distance between the eyes compares with the size of the eyes. When I was a beginning artist, I loved these videos, they helped me out so much in learning how to achieve realism. Now that I really know the basics, I've been able to find my own ways of doing it, a more sort of stylistic approach. For example, the only pencil I use is an HB mechanical pencil. I love to just sit and curl up with a blanket and sketch realistic fanart. I find it super relaxing. I also don't use any sort of blending tools. I find I have so much more control and get a much cleaner look when I don't. I think this definitely depends on how well you can control your pencil and also the kind of face you're doing. For example, I love doing elderly people because I find wrinkles a lot of fun, but with younger women, there is more smooth surface, makes for more of a need for blending.
As an artists I trace myself to safe time and it helps a lot and like you said if your busy you don’t have time too draw something out all the way but you still have to fill it all in using layers and I think this is something all artist can agree on
this helped me alot! i found some don'ts what i do too, so this helped me to improve myself! and it gives me the motivation to do art, because i never know HOW to do these realistic drawings. i'm a realistic art lover and i do it myself, i have been doing that for past 2 years. and now i really understand that only by trying and being patient i can do something i want!
I would recommend really trying to take your time when sketching, and measuring everything out (can be with a ruler, your pencil, even your finger) before you move onto the coloring/shading. This can take a lot of your time, but don't be discouraged. I always rushed my sketches and called it a day until I realized that was my mistake. That, and practice a lot, because with each new drawing, you learn to observe more accurately. Good luck!
Grid method is really helpful. Lay a grid over your reference image(in photoshop or GIMP or something), then draw a light grid on your paper, and just take it a square at a time. It makes getting basic outlines, shapes, and proportions so much easier. Then you can just erase the grid on your paper and spend more time on detail and shading, etc...
I was never good at drawing, lots of stick figures and what not. But after the military I needed something to occupy my broken mind and drawing became ther solution. Im still miles away from being good at drawing and everybody in this comment section is undoubtedly leagues better than me lol, I don't deny that one bit. But I love these tutorials and I try my best to replicate them. I will keep giving er hell and hopefully one day I'll be almost as good as you, color not included in that goal as adding colors really really confuses me. Anyway, thank you for this wonderful tutorial.
For the proportion just try to use a photo editing software and use the grid lines ..Then draw the grid lines lightly in your paper now you can just fill the individual grid boxes and you will have a near perfect proportionate rough sketch ...Now you just erase the grid lines and start adding details
I'm a self taught artist , been practicing realism since I was 13, glad to know I'm following all of the "do's" 😊 I'm still working on perfecting proportions though, I don't like tracing, I feel more accomplished with the finished result if I've drawn out a sketch beforehand, just takes practice
Same I am self taught too! I found out my own ways to make exact proportions and sketches, and I followed all the do's in this and got amazing results! So glad she made this :D
This video has been so helpful to me... every time i feel a bit off with shading the face or the eyes or just drawing a realistic face, i refer back to this video... It's just "The One"...i hope other people feel the same way i feel about this video...it's super helpful...i will of course recommend to anyone hoping to learn how to draw realistic faces😊❤️❤️
@@coffeephrog4339 really? I know some of the gacha community is cringe, but some of them can draw. They are like any other artist, they just are also a part of the gacha community. This is the one of the reasons why artists are so awful to their work. I hope that each cup of coffee and tea you drink for the rest of your sad, miserable life filled with absolute degeneracy, each have a a disgusting, horrible, soft turd from your crazy aunt in it so you can get even a hint of the absolute bullshit that you're spreading around the internet.
I am am a good drawer when I was younger I always saw the negative in my drawing but you.....you made me see the positive side so thank you so much for helping me see the positive (I'm an 11 year old)
Even when you make "donts" . Look so good. Everyones style is diferent indeed. But i still follow you. I want to draw like you... even if i dont reach THAT LEVEL.
A very good way to improve base drawing skill is doing quick timed drawings, focusing most on the angles, shapes, and overall form rather than the fine details. This will be frustrating for some, easy for others, but will in the long run help most with drawing things in proportion. (I’m a 3rd year (illustration) at an accredited university for art and design. one of the biggest things they’ll teach you is this method when learning to draw). In this tutorial one thing to remember when rendering, don’t focus on one area, it can mess up the shadows/highlights in other locations in the drawing, the best thing to do is shade in bulk, do your darkest darks together, lightest lights (save for last usually) together. This rendering method is also much faster than sectioning off areas while shading.
True purpleboye, shading takes hours because it doesn't look right at first but when you are a professional artist you don't have to worry about how much you shade your drawing, so true shading is hard
A great great tip I find super helpful is putting paper over a tablet,of a celeb or person you want to draw and outline there proportions,then that way afterwards it’s easier to shade and make it look a little more realistic,make sure when doing this though don’t press to hard on the paper cause it will scratch the screen and to turn the brightness up!
Lol nooo this is about messing up proportions that should have looked like Selena! I know this was a light hearted comment but had to say coz the don't pic doesn't look alien at all, you could call it a good effort and see beauty in it, it's just not the person that the portrait is supposed to look like. For portrait purposes, that's a clear fail.
Passed up on the most inportant part of drawing, getting the proportions right. Can you show how to line up facial features and determine proportions on eyes, nose & lips? How to proportion the skull and shape? I believe that the foundation to having a great wire figure from which you start shading as you did on the correct drawing is what can help beginners most.
Her: using 4 different pencils, 3 erasers, blending stumps, etc Me: using one HB#2 pencil, one eraser, and q tips, etc Her: Drawing is god Me: happy Mom: Why did you make a dog
i still don't suggest gridding/tracing method (especially the tracing one) because freehanding your drawings will help you improve faster, practicing accuracy and proportions is way more important than shading/rendering. im good at shading/rendering but oftentimes my drawings are slightly different from the actual photo, and that is because i focused more on shading it rather than the initial outlines. plus i feel much more accomplished drawing in freehand because im definitely learning something new and becoming better at being a self-critique. this is of course just my personal opinion
if you are a professional artist who happens to have many commissions and have not much time, then tracing/gridding method is essential, but if you are a beginner artist then i suggest focusing on the outline first than shading/rendering. if your proportions seem correct, then thats where you start focusing on shading your drawings.
While I agree tracing isn't always the best, painters prefer to transfer the basic contour cause they're painting, not drawing. I think it depends on what you wish to paint or draw, if you're practicing shading then i think to focus on that it's okay to transfer or if you draw/paint from photographs but if you want to draw or paint from life then you should learn how to draw the contours and such
For me, and it seems you as well, freehand drawing is preferred because I am and (as it appears from your comment) you are currently focusing on our drawing skills. Once I start focusing on my shading and highlights I most definitely will use whatever technical tools available to help lay down the sketch so that I can spend more time perfecting those skills. I do agree that we should regularly return to freehand just to keep our hard learned skills up (mind you, those skills are still in their infant stage for me and it seems like it will be a very long time before they are mature enough to be comfortably put away for me to concentrate on something else).
I definitely agree with you - if you don’t learn how to freehand draw, what are you gonna do if someone pays you to draw them while they sit right in front of you? Are you gonna put your paper on their face and trace them?
Good tutorial. It's all about the time you put into the drawing. Knowing that the "do" drawing took seven hours to complete is extremely helpful. My portraits are taking me around three hours, and I'm beginning to see why it takes time to achieve a likeness. Thanks!
The don’t one is legit everything I do, and after watching this video I finally realized those don’t portraits I have made look like deformed versions of me. So thank you very much for making this video. It actually helped me improve.
Excellent tips! What I especially like is that you’re breaking the rules that I learned in art school👍 and it’s working out beautifully for you. I draw well, but this is going to take my drawings up a notch or two. Thank you so much!! After reading the comments on here I’m a little surprised that there’s anyone that complains about your video, as if it’s your responsibility to make sure they learn absolutely everything that there is to learn about drawing. This is as valuable as an entire art class, and it’s free content! Your work is excellent and I appreciate your generosity in posting these types of videos ❤️❤️❤️ I just subscribed😀
Thank you so much for the do's and don't tutorial in drawing.i learned a lot from you,also for the great technique and materials to use.thank you for inspiring us you are one a the great artist I've been watching on.👍😊
Thank you.I have just come across your tutorials. Fantastic! I feel I have made a huge step forward after watching this and rectified lots of the mistakes you identified. You have made this retired lady very happy.
Chock full of good tips! I am guilty of many of the donts and gives me a different perspective on how to go about my next attempt. Also hair has always been a frustrating challenge for me, so I'm eager to try again after watching this vid!! Well done! Thank you for not rambling and keeping on point throughout. Didn't seem like 27 minutes at all!! Valuable information!
This video impressed me and the don'ts were just same mistakes I was doing in my arts .... By looking at the do's the drew a masterpiece drawing that look just like the refference image.... I was proud and all my family and friends praised it and me ... I really thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How is your drawing now lovely? Did u experience with different materials or art styles?
Makes me wonder what your art teacher was doing for 9 years.
at my art school they didn't allow us to use an eraser or blend with fingers. Everybody can achieve a soft transition with a finger smudge but being able to do it by controlling pressure on your pen is something much more difficult and requires more practice, which at the end helps you a lot. As for the eraser, this makes you very conscious of your moves and actually frees you to see all of the lines you created so just like watercolor forces you to think out your move.
Aquarellina how the heck do you get it smooth without smudging??? Even if you go lightly surely there’s lines
They taught us not to smudge. You can do smooth gradients with various graphite pencils (H and B series) if you are patient enough.
teaching somebody to not use erasers is a terrible idea, unless it's a practice or a study. as for smudging, only use that to put in big blocks of large very light color in my opinion
*cough* blending tool *cough*
i use watercolor alot and do realism (which im bad at) and yes what you said is true
There's something special about a face... The face is the mirror of the mind, the eyes of people reflect the desires of their heart... I guess life is a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see... eyes are very similar to paintings in that regard, eyes often times say more then words can... if you can say it in words there's no need to paint it...

I only came for Selena. Also for the tips, but mostly selena
I thought it was Debby Ryan for a sec...
Same 😂
Lil Miss Gomez is SOOOOO PRETTY!
You are an AMAZING ARTIST!!!
The things that I learn from watching this video:
-the softer the better
-never rush, always take time
Thank you so much.
Btw, what pencils do you recommend?
Kleo Anjielo Ayunan Mine: Dark hair 7B/6B eyes 5B skin (white/light) 2B skin (black/dark) 6B Light hair 2B
I recommend the one that you have at home, bcs you should be able to do art with anything you have and have the same result using "cheap" and "expencive" pencils, erasers, etc...) 😂
Kasimir: 2H , HB , 5B , 10B
FaberCastell Kneaded Eraser
FaberCastell Solid Polyester Eraser
Deli 24 Pcs. Colors Water Color Pencils.
Blending Stump
Well thats what I use and My Experience has been very good

Another big mistake people make when drawing from reference is that they draw what they think they see, rather than what is actually there.
I do agree
my art teacher actually made us do an exercise where we couldn't see what we were drawing
ᗪ乇丂ㄒ丨几ㄚ right, just like when they are drawing items that are sitting right in front of them. They draw what they remember, not what they’re seeing.
@@sarahebert2510 wait wha, how? I want my teacher to do that 😂
@@saturn_stars she cut the sides off of a shoe box, and made us draw our other hand just from what we were seeing. we couldn't look at the paper we were drawing on. the practices turned out like shit, but once we learned how to draw without staring at what we were sketching, they turned out great.
One time I tried drawing a person and I showed my friend when I was finished. She asked me where I learned how to draw such a good blob fish.
Oof
Realism takes time, and I want to get things done quickly haha yeah that's basically why I probably always be more of a sketcher My attention span is about an hour at most :p then I'm off to do something else
If I could do the “don’t,” I would be a very talented artist to my friends and family.

That moment when your masterpiece looks worse than her donts😂😂😂
Bradknock same
😂😂😂
😆😆😆😆😆
Lol 😂😂
Bradknock same I’m realizing how shitty the pieces that I thought were good actually are
I used to have a lot of trouble with getting an accurate sketch. I would always do it freehand and it took me at least an hour just to get a small, somewhat basic accurate sketch. Now, I don't use the grid method, but I find just simply measuring for perspectives really helps speed up the process. For example, I will measure with my pencil how the distance between the eyes compares with the size of the eyes.
When I was a beginning artist, I loved these videos, they helped me out so much in learning how to achieve realism. Now that I really know the basics, I've been able to find my own ways of doing it, a more sort of stylistic approach. For example, the only pencil I use is an HB mechanical pencil. I love to just sit and curl up with a blanket and sketch realistic fanart. I find it super relaxing. I also don't use any sort of blending tools. I find I have so much more control and get a much cleaner look when I don't. I think this definitely depends on how well you can control your pencil and also the kind of face you're doing. For example, I love doing elderly people because I find wrinkles a lot of fun, but with younger women, there is more smooth surface, makes for more of a need for blending.
Even your 'dont' side looks better than anything I've drawn 😬
BrenDUN Urie Yeah, tell me about it!
says everyone..
omg, that's so impressive !! the values change is so small yet you draw them perfectly !!!
As an artists I trace myself to safe time and it helps a lot and like you said if your busy you don’t have time too draw something out all the way but you still have to fill it all in using layers and I think this is something all artist can agree on
Printer: am I a joke to you!?!
Talent: yes 😭😭
No point of watching the vid with that mindset
@@kajalvinit557 It's a joke
yes
@@Ladlee921 what.
The don’t side is literally me😂😭
Same...lol.
hahhaha same
CookingAndCaking You mean the don’t side is literally your face or how you draw?
BlueFilmsBT uhm I think it's obvious that the don't side is how we draw, not how we look.. 'cause that would be very sad
Lol no, the don’ts side is how I wish I could draw
this helped me alot!
i found some don'ts what i do too, so this helped me to improve myself! and it gives me the motivation to do art, because i never know HOW to do these realistic drawings. i'm a realistic art lover and i do it myself, i have been doing that for past 2 years. and now i really understand that only by trying and being patient i can do something i want!
When I draw faces, they usually turn out okay, but they never look like my reference. How do I make my faces look more accurate?
Aubree Tanner OMG sameeeeeee
I would recommend really trying to take your time when sketching, and measuring everything out (can be with a ruler, your pencil, even your finger) before you move onto the coloring/shading. This can take a lot of your time, but don't be discouraged. I always rushed my sketches and called it a day until I realized that was my mistake. That, and practice a lot, because with each new drawing, you learn to observe more accurately. Good luck!
Grid method is really helpful. Lay a grid over your reference image(in photoshop or GIMP or something), then draw a light grid on your paper, and just take it a square at a time. It makes getting basic outlines, shapes, and proportions so much easier. Then you can just erase the grid on your paper and spend more time on detail and shading, etc...
Same
sammeeeeee!! 😩
Not gonna lie, even the "bad picture" looks better than any drawing I could ever do.
Truth hurts!!
Yeah
I was never good at drawing, lots of stick figures and what not. But after the military I needed something to occupy my broken mind and drawing became ther solution. Im still miles away from being good at drawing and everybody in this comment section is undoubtedly leagues better than me lol, I don't deny that one bit. But I love these tutorials and I try my best to replicate them. I will keep giving er hell and hopefully one day I'll be almost as good as you, color not included in that goal as adding colors really really confuses me. Anyway, thank you for this wonderful tutorial.
amazing video! another important point is that you need good paper for lots of shading, it makes it a lot easier
For the proportion just try to use a photo editing software and use the grid lines ..Then draw the grid lines lightly in your paper now you can just fill the individual grid boxes and you will have a near perfect proportionate rough sketch ...Now you just erase the grid lines and start adding details
That's clever! I'm assuming that's what the "grid technique" she mentions is. I'll try that thanks
@@MagicBot.1570thank you, that's what I've been missing
I'm a self taught artist , been practicing realism since I was 13, glad to know I'm following all of the "do's" 😊 I'm still working on perfecting proportions though, I don't like tracing, I feel more accomplished with the finished result if I've drawn out a sketch beforehand, just takes practice
Same I am self taught too! I found out my own ways to make exact proportions and sketches, and I followed all the do's in this and got amazing results! So glad she made this :D
Ive been doing realisim for 3-4 years im also self taught
You've really emphasised how important it is to take your time, congrats and thanks
This video has been so helpful to me... every time i feel a bit off with shading the face or the eyes or just drawing a realistic face, i refer back to this video... It's just "The One"...i hope other people feel the same way i feel about this video...it's super helpful...i will of course recommend to anyone hoping to learn how to draw realistic faces😊❤️❤️
When the '' bad '' drawing looks better than the best you ever made :
.......
practice makes perfect, don’t expect to come out of the womb with perfect art skills
You do Gacha, of course your "art" will suck.
@@coffeephrog4339 really? I know some of the gacha community is cringe, but some of them can draw. They are like any other artist, they just are also a part of the gacha community.
This is the one of the reasons why artists are so awful to their work. I hope that each cup of coffee and tea you drink for the rest of your sad, miserable life filled with absolute degeneracy, each have a a disgusting, horrible, soft turd from your crazy aunt in it so you can get even a hint of the absolute bullshit that you're spreading around the internet.

omg periodt
My best human I've ever drawn

I am am a good drawer when I was younger I always saw the negative in my drawing but you.....you made me see the positive side so thank you so much for helping me see the positive
(I'm an 11 year old)
Even when you make "donts" . Look so good. Everyones style is diferent indeed. But i still follow you. I want to draw like you... even if i dont reach THAT LEVEL.
you will reach that level dude, practicing all the time and not losing hope is key. it really just take years to be really good at realism.
You will
Hope you still haven't given up yet! ;3
You'll get there!!!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO, IT WAS WHAT LITERALLY GOT ME INTO ART AND IM THINKING OF PICKING GCSE ART NOW, I WATCHED THIS VIDEO LIKE 2 YEARS AGO
“The eyes looks so different”
*me while wearing my glasses* Owo
A very good way to improve base drawing skill is doing quick timed drawings, focusing most on the angles, shapes, and overall form rather than the fine details. This will be frustrating for some, easy for others, but will in the long run help most with drawing things in proportion. (I’m a 3rd year (illustration) at an accredited university for art and design. one of the biggest things they’ll teach you is this method when learning to draw).
In this tutorial one thing to remember when rendering, don’t focus on one area, it can mess up the shadows/highlights in other locations in the drawing, the best thing to do is shade in bulk, do your darkest darks together, lightest lights (save for last usually) together. This rendering method is also much faster than sectioning off areas while shading.
Thank you for talking about tracing! Thats so true, I'm happy someone else understands it
Damn, so its okay to trace huh
Johnnie Lurker depends on the situation, but im not here to control the way you live. You do you
Well educated lady! Thanks for sharing.
"I spent like three hours shading your upper lip"
I love that movie 😂😂😂😂 GIMME SOME OF YOUR TOTS
TrIsHa
What’s happening
True purpleboye, shading takes hours because it doesn't look right at first but when you are a professional artist you don't have to worry about how much you shade your drawing, so true shading is hard
😂 yess
A great great tip I find super helpful is putting paper over a tablet,of a celeb or person you want to draw and outline there proportions,then that way afterwards it’s easier to shade and make it look a little more realistic,make sure when doing this though don’t press to hard on the paper cause it will scratch the screen and to turn the brightness up!
The "Don't" looks a lot like me. Soooo...
I'm a Don't?
Okay. Lol
Lol nooo this is about messing up proportions that should have looked like Selena! I know this was a light hearted comment but had to say coz the don't pic doesn't look alien at all, you could call it a good effort and see beauty in it, it's just not the person that the portrait is supposed to look like. For portrait purposes, that's a clear fail.
No,you’re beautiful even I never see your face 😊 don’t give up☺️
Vaahtera ouch
You hot then
Vaahtera then u ugly af
In easy way shading is the key to realism and even light perspective can turn your sketch into a masterpiece
This is gold! I'm going to have to watch this a few times as you covered so much information. Thanks.
Passed up on the most inportant part of drawing, getting the proportions right. Can you show how to line up facial features and determine proportions on eyes, nose & lips? How to proportion the skull and shape? I believe that the foundation to having a great wire figure from which you start shading as you did on the correct drawing is what can help beginners most.
Exactly what I was thinking. If as a beginner I can’t do the sketching correctly then why should I worry about shafing
Her: using 4 different pencils, 3 erasers, blending stumps, etc
Me: using one HB#2 pencil, one eraser, and q tips, etc
Her: Drawing is god
Me: happy
Mom: Why did you make a dog
LMAO honestly same
流石に草。
Lol "GOD"
Or just a mechanical
I use a normal pencil for school. The yellow ones
Love kirsty your tutorials are outstanding...i ve got improvements love you soo much💓💓....
Listening straight 27 minutes ... I realised I'm this interested in drawing
Me too..i think imma start learning drawing now
i still don't suggest gridding/tracing method (especially the tracing one) because freehanding your drawings will help you improve faster, practicing accuracy and proportions is way more important than shading/rendering. im good at shading/rendering but oftentimes my drawings are slightly different from the actual photo, and that is because i focused more on shading it rather than the initial outlines. plus i feel much more accomplished drawing in freehand because im definitely learning something new and becoming better at being a self-critique. this is of course just my personal opinion
if you are a professional artist who happens to have many commissions and have not much time, then tracing/gridding method is essential, but if you are a beginner artist then i suggest focusing on the outline first than shading/rendering. if your proportions seem correct, then thats where you start focusing on shading your drawings.
While I agree tracing isn't always the best, painters prefer to transfer the basic contour cause they're painting, not drawing. I think it depends on what you wish to paint or draw, if you're practicing shading then i think to focus on that it's okay to transfer or if you draw/paint from photographs but if you want to draw or paint from life then you should learn how to draw the contours and such
For me, and it seems you as well, freehand drawing is preferred because I am and (as it appears from your comment) you are currently focusing on our drawing skills. Once I start focusing on my shading and highlights I most definitely will use whatever technical tools available to help lay down the sketch so that I can spend more time perfecting those skills.
I do agree that we should regularly return to freehand just to keep our hard learned skills up (mind you, those skills are still in their infant stage for me and it seems like it will be a very long time before they are mature enough to be comfortably put away for me to concentrate on something else).
Elisa Shay is
I definitely agree with you - if you don’t learn how to freehand draw, what are you gonna do if someone pays you to draw them while they sit right in front of you? Are you gonna put your paper on their face and trace them?
Good tutorial. It's all about the time you put into the drawing. Knowing that the "do" drawing took seven hours to complete is extremely helpful. My portraits are taking me around three hours, and I'm beginning to see why it takes time to achieve a likeness. Thanks!
The don’t one is legit everything I do, and after watching this video I finally realized those don’t portraits I have made look like deformed versions of me. So thank you very much for making this video. It actually helped me improve.
i wish i had seen this 50 yrs. ago. your a great teacher.god bless all
Excellent tips! What I especially like is that you’re breaking the rules that I learned in art school👍 and it’s working out beautifully for you. I draw well, but this is going to take my drawings up a notch or two. Thank you so much!!
After reading the comments on here I’m a little surprised that there’s anyone that complains about your video, as if it’s your responsibility to make sure they learn absolutely everything that there is to learn about drawing. This is as valuable as an entire art class, and it’s free content! Your work is excellent and I appreciate your generosity in posting these types of videos ❤️❤️❤️
I just subscribed😀
Thank you so much for the do's and don't tutorial in drawing.i learned a lot from you,also for the great technique and materials to use.thank you for inspiring us you are one a the great artist I've been watching on.👍😊
Thank you.I have just come across your tutorials. Fantastic! I feel I have made a huge step forward after watching this and rectified lots of the mistakes you identified. You have made this retired lady very happy.
When her don’t drawing looks 10x better than what I could do
how are you doing realism now?
Maybe you should practice instead of complain
@@Deathshuck truth
@@Deathshuck easier said than done
Chock full of good tips! I am guilty of many of the donts and gives me a different perspective on how to go about my next attempt. Also hair has always been a frustrating challenge for me, so I'm eager to try again after watching this vid!!
Well done! Thank you for not rambling and keeping on point throughout. Didn't seem like 27 minutes at all!! Valuable information!
Can we talk about how the "Don't" side kinda looks like the before plastic surgery Kylie Jenner?
Doing It For The Lulz 😂😂😂
nah more like kendall
Doing It For The Lulz lmao 😂
I thought it was Kendall at first.
Idk if that was a roast, but I loved it. I'm laughing so freaking hard rn omo
This video impressed me and the don'ts were just same mistakes I was doing in my arts ....
By looking at the do's the drew a masterpiece drawing that look just like the refference image.... I was proud and all my family and friends praised it and me ... I really thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Her: needed 7 hours for the drawing
Me: needs 7 hours for the sketch

Aaa yes m2
Ha ha ha , big laugh in sweden... I dont even know how to draw at all
She talked about tracing though. You don't have to go through the pain of sketching if you don't want to
When you realize the DONT is actually what you do 😂😂
I wish I could draw that well!!
I think it’s impossible for us to draw as good as some artists, sometimes life just sucks when you terrible
hahahahahaahahah
And here’s my teacher who says,” you’ve got to finish your Realist Drawing in 3 hours”
Just do it
Jk
