I was adamant that if I started Art Prof that our content would be 100% free. I teach college and it frustrates me that there are so many wonderful artists who just don't have the resources to attend art school, but who have the passion. So we're trying to make that possible for everyone. -Prof Lieu
@@artprof I am incredibly grateful for your channel - I just found you! I begged to go to art school after graduating HS, but was told absolutely not (but it was okay to go to business school so I'd have a "real career"). I dreamed of going to the Corcoran, which is near me, but, sadly, it was not going to be my future. That was over 30 years ago; I took some classes at my local junior college when I could afford it, and I loved it. But life takes over (kids, family, financial responsibility) and I wasn't able to stick with it regularly, so I dabbled. Now that I'm looking at retirement, I am hopeful that I'll have real time to devote to art making - I found it very fulfilling when I could really focus on it. You have SO MUCH great information on your channel - THANK YOU!!!! I am incredibly grateful!!

I don't plan on doing any kind of drawings in the near future, and yet here I am watching a full video of someone doing a self-portrait with crayon. Really great content!
This makes me grateful for the fact that my teachers in highschool never allowed me to draw self portraits/portrait from a photo, we were always forced to draw from real life or from a mirror lol
The end result is so beautiful! I love to see the strokes and marks, they make me think of the person painting or drawing and I love to imagine that, makes me appreciate every decision and gives it a life unlike photos.
"..and the cheekbone connects to the ear." And in that 3 seconds, I began to see things differently. Holy crap, it blew my mind how I was never told about this 🤯 I always have hard time with the form of the face! But like you said about anatomy, it's like connecting the dots. As one of the most complex art topics, I should have expected there's gonna be more to anatomy that we haven't heard yet. This video is awesome!
im almost in tears after reading and agreeing 100 percent with this... the pain of failing in my own eyes has been due to little pieces of knowledge missing that become learning gaps in my overall education and technique that i trip up on and everything, ultimately my motivation especially, gets lost in... thank you, your videos are beyond words.

This was so useful❤️ I had an assignment a while back to draw a self portrait, I went to my phone to use a photo as reference but then my teacher started pulling out mirrors! It was in black & white (edit: on white paper) and I really wasn’t happy with it at the end. This gives me inspiration for when I’ll do a self portrait again, Btw I’ve just been watching a ton of these videos and they are so so helpful, thank u so much🥰👍
A lot of great information. Thank you. I’m holding on to that bit about artificial light being warm highlights and cool shadows and outdoor light being cool highlights and warm shadows. A very needed clarification for me.

I subscribed and saving this video for moments where I feel like my focusing too much on perfection instead of immersing myself in my artworks and enjoying the development process. Very helpful video with so many valuable lessons! Btw, that portrait came out spectacular, beautiful!
Thank you! Yes it's easy to bother yourself and pick at what you're doing when you draw, I do the same thing. This tutorial we have on gesture drawing talks about how to deal with that: ua-cam.com/video/IGHgsRO6Kro/v-deo.html -Prof Lieu
thank you so much for the information about shadows and highlights!
Lol I need to find that "Flesh" color tube 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Strangely I have been unknowingly following her advice about using "off" colors and working my way towards the right skin tone. I always find that doing so makes the final painting richer and "deeper".
This is really inspiring for me. Thank you for the heaps of effort that you guys put in videos they really help :)
Our pleasure!
LOVED. So helpful! Thank you.
Thank you - very inspiring and great information about how to set up a scenario that gives the most interesting possibilities.
Thanks for watching! The set up is seriously half the battle, once you get over that hurdle it's so much easier to draw!

I’ve been drawing portraits and self portraits for a while now and i thought i knew all i needed to know but you just gave me some very very good tips and facts :) thank you!
Glad I could help!
I haven’t been inspired to get back into drawing; until I watched this video
I feel like it’s a rite of passage for every artist to fall out of love with art 😂 and what better time to pick up the pencil than now in quarantine. We believe in you! - Hema Somaya, Art Prof Staff
Classes have been canceled for a while, and watching this makes me feel like I’m in class again 🥺
This was so useful❤️ I had an assignment a while back to draw a self portrait, I went to my phone to use a photo as reference but then my teacher started pulling out mirrors! It was in black & white (edit: on white paper) and I really wasn’t happy with it at the end. This gives me inspiration for when I’ll do a self portrait again, Btw I’ve just been watching a ton of these videos and they are so so helpful, thank u so much🥰👍
So glad you found us!! -Prof Lieu
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!!😃💗

Amazing, Love all your colors. Thank you. S
Every time I look at that bottom left thumbnail sketch I feel like I’m being judged. It’s a very intense gaze
Let's just say that I'm known for my intensity on campus. -Prof Lieu
Your job is literally my dream job
A lot of great information. Thank you. I’m holding on to that bit about artificial light being warm highlights and cool shadows and outdoor light being cool highlights and warm shadows. A very needed clarification for me.
You're so welcome, thank you for watching Renee! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

This needs more views
