I hope you enjoy this video and I want to know which techniques you find most useful in your own drawings and why! Please share in your comments. Happy drawing!
Thanks, Marta; great video and beautiful portrait. I think the model would be quite happy even had it been a commissioned portrait---you made her look younger. Wonderful.
Thank you Marta ! I watched this entire video closely and was marveling again and again how this portrait started as powdered charcoal dropped onto paper. You do wonderful work ! This video reinforces the importance of tonal values and composition in a great way. Compared to the reference photo your portrait looks much more hopeful and up-lifting. As if the girl in the reference photo had gone through a healing. Lovely. Best Wishes - John ( I subscribed ! )
@@basicsforbaroqueimprovisation , Wow! What a beautiful sentiment. I am so glad that you enjoyed it and the observation you had was insightful. We put ourselves into every thing we do and this is why every artists work is different. Art should inspire . Thank you so much for subscribing John!
Just wonderful to watch you work and see the immediate results. Your process demystifies the whole drawing sequence and I'm less intimidated after watching you create this fabulous portrait. Thank you so much!
I enjoy your commentary plus your approach working from the outside in that makes a lot of sense and when you don’t know where to start, you have to have a good beginning like that. Thank you for the video. It was really informative.
@@passage2enBleu , yes. You are correct; there’s beauty in stopping at the beginning stages when there’s more mystery. I’ll make some videos like that; stopping before the drawing is refined.
Such beautiful work! I've started my "art journey" two weeks ago. I have absolutely 0 experience but still hope to become as experienced as you are! Thank you for sharing your work
@@SecretRiverArt , I am so glad you started! You are at the best stage, the stage of excitement. Keep going and remember that the process is far more important than the outcome. You must fall in love with the process.
@@martacrawfordfineart Thank you for your kind words! I would love to hear about your experience when you first started your journey as an artist and also what you focused on as a student
Hey Painting with Marta , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
Ok. This is beautiful but the measurements are off. She reduced the size of her forehead, width of her face, length of her jaw and size of her eyes just to mention a few things that prevents her lovely drawing from actually resembling the model. She made her face too small. The drawing looks more like a younger girl vs a gorgeous young woman. Still very lovely but not to her likeness. Also, her mouth is wider than in the drawing. The whole volume of the head is too narrow.
Remember that this is not an exact copy of a photo. I mentioned that. I took artistic license. I do t see the point on making her look exactly like the photo: it will take far too long as a starter, plus for that, there’s photography. Since it’s not a commission. Also, the perspective is different because of the camera.
@@martacrawfordfineart The way you drew it makes it look like you were going for likeness. On second thought, I just read your description beneath the demo again. It clearly implies you are going for likeness and are showing methods to achieve such.

thanks. i preferred the first version. she appeared to step out of the 19th century. the latter version seems more modern.
