I STUDIED A PORTRAIT by a Different Artist Everyday
These past few months I had been feeling quite uninspired when drawing portraits. So to fix that I decided to do a drawing challenge in which I attempted to draw 7 master studies by 7 of my favorite artists in one week and I documented my tiny art project in this video.

How I SHADE Portraits (Drawing Process)
Переглядів 4 тис.4 місяці тому
In this video, I break down my 6-step process for shading faces starting from how I plan the outline, down to the very final rendering. While my shading process is far from perfect, and I must confess to being a bit too precious of my drawings, I think following this shading process has helped me improve the believability and overall quality of rendering of my portrait drawings. 🕗 Chapters 00:0...

    After a careful look at the measuring rules I throw away all of it and focus more on improved OBSERVATION rather than pre-conceived models. Doing so unleash all kind of angles and compositions when drawing from refs. Loomis method is overrated in that use case but not if you draw from imagination.

    • @ammardraws
      @ammardraws 25 днів тому

      @@Eternal-ReTuning thanks for sharing your insight! I personally feel like I draw portraits more consistently when I use a handful of key ratios early in the drawing but I try not to over rely on these rules because that tends to make the drawing look more generic if it makes sense. But I'm not at a level where I can just discard Loomis and draw a face well consistently without breaking the process into a series of repeatable steps. It's good to know you have a drawing process figured out that works for you! 🙂

    I keep loving what you do. I also love the patience and dedication that the video reflects about your work. Please let me tell you that every drawing or painting, is a sketch until it becomes a masterpiece. I am not sure, but. Did I see some asymmetries en two of your drawings or is it the camera angle? Do you normally use a mirror for double checking the symmetry of your drawing, during the process? By the way. I love the art of Leyendecker, Norman Rockwell’s as well. I would make a suggestion. I am not sure, but I am pretty confident to say that copying Gustav Klimt can help you out on practicing abstract drawing and getting a deeper understanding of form simplification. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 nice video!

      @@ammardraws Kelp on doing it. Next video with Klimt 😉 For me drawing is like a mystical experience. The drive to do it is totally irrational, sometimes frustrating, but so satisfying many times. Your videos reflect your passion and commitment. Now it is more and more important to lead us to make masterpieces in the future. I mea, they can be simple pencil drawings, but with that kind of sensitivity behind. The other approaches are only images. In the past when Leyendecker painted a cover magazine it was for commercial use but there was a sense of Art behind, that has made his paintings going beyond temporary use. I am from Spain. I highly recommend you to take a look at the drawings of Antonio López García. Not the paintings themselves, but the collection of drawings. You will be able to see the smoothness of the value transitions. Same case for some of the body skin representation in Klimt’s paintings. The are so subtle… far away from needing to make contrast. Go for it!!

    Dear Binge. I love what you do. If I am allowed to, I’d like to make some suggestions that maybe, or maybe not, you know them well. I would recommend you to try blending thin graphite layers with soft brushes. One thin layer in the same direction (lines) and then blend, then put another thin layer in the oposite direction and blend again, and so on, until getting the desired effect. I also would avoid blending with your fingers. It will add some skin oil that do not work well with graphite. The drawing will end with shinny areas that ruins the drawing in terms of texture, volume and simple aesthetics. Keep on drawing and uploading! 💪🏻

    I just saw your work you might be interested in trying Faber Castell 5 Graphite Aquarelle pencils, not expensive, I do watercolor and they are a cross between pencil and watercolor but it would work with your style. You draw normally and then use a brush with just water and go over where the shadows are. Just make sure you use the right kind of paper that can get wet. They are quite fun. If you wet your paper first then draw the effect is more like charcoal. The only thing is once wet, I haven't found a way to erase them 😅
