    “Yes” I am so looking forward to learning how to make my art more realistic like yours. The only thing I struggle on is adding to much shading on a face, and less highlights

    Thank you so much. I’ve learned so much from you. As you know, I’m a beginner and you are a talented expert, and genius!! Everyone loves your drawings-they look like photographs. I’m so happy for you and your teachings. I’m a new subscriber and I hope you continue to give us tutorials and tips like these. Now that I use a blending stump and a soft brush my drawings have improved so much. I’ll never get to your level but I will practice for improvements. Thank you!!

    Yes! My mother taught me how to draw through the years it helped me to stay connected to her. I love realism I get lost in the details everything around me disappears. After many hours you have this beautiful drawing in front of you. It's an extension of something beautiful within yourself that the world gets to see. With that said at one point in my life I just stopped drawing and feel disconnected from finding my true center. Then I found your videos. Like I said the drawings are an extension of you! It is so Beautiful !

    I was always baffled at how my shading was so inconsistent (dark in some areas and lighter in others), turns out sharp pencils are a NO for shading haha! Thank you for this video and for pointing this out especially. Always looking forward to seeing your videos in my sub box! x

    • @silviemahdal_art
      @silviemahdal_art  5 років тому +22

      Hi Klaudia, I do not want to say that sharpened pencil is not good for shading, for some other techniques it could be. But from my own experience this way is much easier to achieve smoother results in value drawing :)

    Hi can you please tell me where you got your paintbrush from? Also I found you on Instagram and I found your portraits and pictures so mesmerizing and beautiful. I was blown away by your drawings. I’m 14 and I recently took art as a GCSE option. I thought that I was good at it, but I clearly wasn’t. I nearly gave up and I thought that picking it was the worst decision of my life. So after a couple of day I stared to get headaches and started feeling depressed. We’re drawing potraits and other stuff in school. And I i never finish on time so I have to take it home to finish as homework. Watching your videos inspired me to get better. And not give up!
