I have watched your video on Faces for Beginners, Realistic Eyes and this one. I tried to comment before but UA-cam took the page away before I was finished! I like your style of teaching! Your tips are very useful and your demos are so helpful! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your expertise!
So obvious once you make it clear! Thank you, Michele. Once again a really valuable video. The points are essential for face/head drawing. You've taken the mystery out of it!!
Hello from Texas! I never comment on videos, but I’m so happy to have come across this uniquely practical and entertaining lesson! I’ve watched several of your other videos, mostly trying to learn watercolor, but I’ve enjoyed sketching people most of my life. I recently learned about and have struggled with the Loomis method, but your tutorial is just brilliant. So much clear and useful information - in only 24 minutes! Thank you for freely sharing this… but now I’m convinced to check out Patreon! P.S. I’m also thrilled to have a productive excuse to buy and maybe skim those mindless gossip tabloids about famous people I’ve never heard of. Ooh and give them handlebar mustaches and blackened teeth… because how can I resist!
Hello in Texas! So glad you liked the video, yes it's great fun. I took a rather famous British politician and turned him into a famous German WW2 leader, and it was surprisingly easy to do ;-)
Absolute MAGIC to be taught that the guidelines are CURVED!! And changing the curve indicates 'head up' or 'head down'. I haven't heard that emphasized before.
Although the technical information was great, I loved your celebrity commentary the most. Your best moments are when you make little wry remarks. My favourite video to date!
Years ago when I walked into my art class my teacher handed each of us a hardboiled egg, and she taught us how to draw these guidlines on the egg.😂 This lesson brought back that fond memory. I prefer your method because using a magazine gives so many different opportunities. Thank you!!
I love your videos. The comments you made about the celebrities were especially entertaining. Now I may have to buy a magazine so I can practice. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thank you for sacrificing your hard earned money on the magazine. Now we all know what to do with those kinds of magazines. Thanks for the great lesson.
Ah, so at last a new-found purpose for these so-called celebrity/gossip magazines (that'll be the 'Art' section then). I'm amazed I've not seen this suggested before (drawing over printed faces); it's such a top teaching recommendation. Loving the dry humour and clear enunciation: videos that just keep giving...! I'm hooked.
You likely will not see this, as this is not a recent video. You are so well spoken, and you advice is always spot on! Excellent explanation of the basics that anyone could appreciate, regardless of skill level. I, too, never understood the fascination with celebrities, and vicarious living. And don't get me started on all of the surgerized and botoxed ones! Your style is fresh, clean spontaneous. You are likely aware of the "Bob Ross of Japan", but Shibasaki on UA-cam is a perfect example of paintings that look like random strokes and colors until they begin to come together. The short ones where he does sketches of things in several minutes are astonishing.
I literally take notes during your videos sometimes. This is so informative and helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your tips because a lot of artists just do a sped up drawing and they record something afterwards and patch it in and it's impossible to follow because nobody can draw or paint that fast. Having real instruction when my chronic illness disability keeps me without an income so I can't afford to do Skillshare or take classes or even pay for paytreons(sp?) patrons(?), anyway this kind of video is what helps me learn and I need all the basics before I can try be comfortable taking on art projects that I hope to in the near future.
I'm watching to improve my tattooing, I know that sounds crazy but other art forms help artists of all kinds. I'm 50 and been tattooing for some time now. I shouldn't say this, but you're the cutest art teacher I have ever seen. You're also one of the best I've come across in my life. I have learned more from you than any tattoo instructor. You are also far more easy on the eyes. :) I have been watching this channel for a year and just subscribed. I always forget for some reason.
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber You wouldn't believe how many of the best tattoo artist study watercolor. You can learn a lot from watercolor, much of it is the same. Good thing you weren't my art teacher, I wouldn't have been able to focus LOL. Enough of that, I just want to thank you for teaching me things I didn't know. You're a very good artist and teacher.
Thank you, I am going to drag out old mags and use these techniques with my primary school kids, start them on the path of drawing faces and heads correctly! thank you again this was a GREAT video
Thank you so much Michele. You have provided a really clear & structured way to learn how to draw faces. I am off to doodle over magazines before I tackle another face drawing. Cheers.
This video has been brilliant and I’ll be getting myself a celeb magazine or 2, (love your comments along the way!😂), and as I’m on a long flight shortly I thought what better opportunity to practise! I’m very new to drawing and your videos have been amazing. People’s faces in particular fascinate me in their diversity, and I want to be able to draw good likenesses, still a long way to go, but the improvement over the past 6 weeks because of your videos is really encouraging, so thank you so much ❤
I love the sacrifice you made in buying one of those awful magazines. At least that not only made it possible to give us valuable information but the commentary is just great :-) Thank you very much. Now I'll go and dig a clothing advertising mag out of the recycling bin...
I love you, Michelle. Thank you for the great lesson! This tech made it easy to conceptualize the proportions and the importance of accuracy in construction.
What a fantastic lesson Michele! I have never really tried to draw a picture of someone, except when I was a child, but this video is so very helpful! I am now encouraged to practice this, and see how I do. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much! Donna ♥️😻♥️
Great tip and great use for otherwise waste of paper. Just one thing to keep in mind: photoshop. Altered proportions will change our perception, and many times even fore shortening will be "corrected ". So it's wise to keep common sense.
Just found your channel and I thank you for the demo and info. Very educational full of inspiration. Very well explained. I truly appreciate your time and effort. New subscriber! Blessings and take care.
This is a great idea. I received 3 or 4 of those clothing catalogs this week and I had just tossed them in the recycling bucket to go out with the trash, but I just pulled them out so that I can practice. They'll have another life before I finally toss them. Great way to practice. Thanks for the inspiration! Also, I popped over to the free tutorial; so nice!
Excellent video and the idea of drawing on magazines like that is great because it is low in energy expenditure and can be done even if one is feeling a bit tired. I get a bit annoyed sometimes with artists who regard the rules as absolute. The placing of the eyes half way down the head, for example, is usually true when the head is not tilted up or down. However, some people deviate a bit, I think, because humans differ. Some men, for example, can be very masculine looking and have enormous lantern like jaws that means that their eyes are more than half way up the head. The rules can help but, as you say, observation is important. If you have a reference or a model to work from, then I think observation and measuring trumps any rule of thumb.
you are a really good instructor! Love the tools you used in this video! I will likely buy a gossip magazine.! quite a few good laughs to boot! Thank You for this video!!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber yes! I am really interested! I have a style I am dying to do with the colors in the skin with watercolor and I am far from having any idea how to do it. So just learning normal skin tones would be of massive help I think to a lot of us.
I really enjoy your humor. This is definitely a great video filled with lots of technical details and information. I have learned so much from this that I am looking forward to doing a few portraits. I have got a huge understanding of where to place the features and to find the angle in faces. I had never given it a thought about the angle. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
You are a wonderful teacher and I gave you a thumbs up, but your wit and humor are just great! Now I will have to buy one of those " vacuous " magazines now! 😭🤣😂
This video was sooo helpful, I've learned a lot from it. Love your remarks I too live in a village after all my life in and around London and I certainly know what you mean about village life
Thank you, Michele 😘 Had any teacher presented portrait drawing as you just did I wouldn’t find doing them so frightening. Love the editorial snark; mirrors my own cultural view. 😆
I know this video is a year old now, but you always teach informative lessons. And I really love your dry humor-an added bonus.
Glad it was helpful!

Watching your video now, but don't want to skip leaving a comment, so here it is... Hello from New Jersey, USA! Thanks for the very helpful video 😊
Hello in New Jersey! Thanks for the comment :-)
Not only are you a fantastic teacher but my goodness you are funny, Thank you so much Michele.
Thank you! 😃
Not only very instructive but also very funny!
Thank you 😊❤️

I love this easy to understand tutorial. I’ve been painting and drawing all my life but I still love to watch your videos. I love your commentary.

You never fail to deliver these useful little tidbits. Thank you.
My pleasure!
art is a key of design
Thank you
The video is so helpful but I
think I enjoyed the giggles I got from your commentary the most!
Although the technical information was great, I loved your celebrity commentary the most. Your best moments are when you make little wry remarks. My favourite video to date!
Same here. When she called them "vacuous" I laughed so hard because boy is it true.
Thank you!
I literally joined after one of those comments, but the content is wonderfully helpful ❣️
Loved all the comments on the celebrities!
Years ago when I walked into my art class my teacher handed each of us a hardboiled egg, and she taught us how to draw these guidlines on the egg.😂
This lesson brought back that fond memory. I prefer your method because using a magazine gives so many different opportunities. Thank you!!
If they had given my classmates eggs it wouldn't have gone well!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 🤣😅😂
Yes, agree, because eggs are already three-dimensional, plus eggs do not have jaws to construct jaw lines.🙃✍🏼🥚
I love your videos. The comments you made about the celebrities were especially entertaining. Now I may have to buy a magazine so I can practice. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Have fun!
Me too. But I’m going in disguise to buy one
I have learned many techniques from you. Thank you.
You are very welcome
Thank you for sacrificing your hard earned money on the magazine. Now we all know what to do with those kinds of magazines. Thanks for the great lesson.
No problem!
I really enjoy your teaching style and love your comments about leaf blowers and other irritations.
Thank you!
Mission accomplished. The Lidl leaflet lay around now scribbled on. Thanks.
Excellent!

Has to be the best explanation and demonstration I have seen and you dont have a television or buy piffle magazines - what's not to love?

I used to draw on real estate agents’ faces that I got on advertisements giving them makeovers. It was fun!
That sounds a lot of fun!
Bookmarked ! Thank you, Michelle !

wonderful video. I may have to watch several more times to get the chin to head and the eye line correct

Love your chanel, I can't even draw a conclusion but I'm going to follow your teaching tips and see what I can achieve.
That's funny! I am sure you can do it :-)
Brilliant tutorial!! Never seen anyone explain this better- and definitely not as entertaining! Thanks for your videos
Glad you enjoyed it!

Most informative..great idea to practice on faces magazines etc.

Well I love you too for being such a super viewer :-)
Oh this is such a clever trick. Thanks I’d never have thought of it.
No worries 🐱
Thank you Michele for great video.
This was exactly what I needed. You explain it very well. Thank you, I will come back to this.
You are most welcome 🙂
Thanks Michele, I've saved this, dont care what we know more is better!
No problem Kathy 👍
Thanks for your great videos. I also enjoy your delightful dry humor. 😁
Glad you like them!

Very interesting video for people who like doing portraits Thank you 🙏💐💐🙏
You're welcome ☺️
Thank you very much for this lesson.
Very entertaining as well as informative!

Ahh, good ol' Photoshop! Yes, you do sometimes have to look out for that. If it doesn't look right, move on to another more realistic-looking photo.
Thank you for all of your tutorials. 🧑🏻🎨🎨🥰
Welcome 😊
Thank you! Very useful and witty as well.
Will certainly be trying this!
Thank you for all this information. I'm fascinated.

I may do if there is interest, and mixing sking tones too!
