Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.

drawing one person alike is one thing, but replicating the persons face multiple times in the same canvas is mind blowing
Thank you for these videos. They allow me to live again. I can no longer paint or draw - it kills me. Watching you control your brush, add colors, mix colors makes me feel like I’m painting again!!
Your instruction & camera angels are perfect.
Thanks for what you do - it is appreciated.
Why can't you do it anymore?
@@Misanamaybe they have some sort of hand injury
@@amnah1716 I see. I hope they can paint again some day.
0:43 Michael Jordan amazing block in
Somehow you have drawn the portrait in a simple way. For beginners like me, the subject of portrait painting is very difficult. I have also consulted your course, I think I will join in the nearest day.
I listened to another artist who also pointed out that the details are not what gives the likeness ( hence you can recognise your brother/father in one of those old army photos where the face is really just dark blobs where the eyes and mouth are). As you say it's about drawing an accurate outline and placing features in the correct places.
0:51, 2:03, 3:01. I’m really looking forward to the portrait course; I’m growing so much with the original course but my portraits need… fine tuning 😂
This information is solid. It is actually what I found myself doing back in 2020. I was watching many videos trying to find a starting point. Then settled with this YT channel. I even watched some Patreon tutorials. When I was recording myself digital paint, I could go back and see where it started to flop or when I made a breakthrough. It helped me analyze my skills and see what worked and what didn't work. If you can, I'd recommend you record yourself in 720p at least. You'll be able to sit back and say "ok that's where I broke through/flopped" so you know when you get to that point to be aware.
Same. As a crosshatcher, no matter how well I shaded the face it would never make it look more lifelike
Thank You very much, I have experimented many years, watched a few things, but I think I learned more from this video...ever. Well done, I'll be back!
MJ @ :45. Leonardo I knew right away from just the drawing, Daniel Craig 3:15. Awesome as always! Love your videos! Thank you for being a great teacher!
Same for me for Leonardo! It's his mouth when he's frowning (also his brow shape perhaps).
1:30 for the middle one.. I knew immediately, didn't know why I knew, even after going back and watching you start again. Just the shape of the head, the angle of the brow, and hairline were enough. Crazy!
You are a great artist and a great teacher.
1:30 for Leo; all I needed was the eyebrow angels and relationship to eyes, but the forehead proportions confirmed my guess. 2:50 for Daniel, actually right when you cut back in with your edit, I recognized the hairline to nose tip, but I had the advantage of having just watched "Our Friends in the North" a few days ago. It is a 90's miniseries which took the characters from their teens to their 50's.. it was really interesting to watch the aging process and observe the changes that made the characters stop looking like themselves. So, I think it is important to start from a photo that represents the most iconic characteristics of a famous person. I really had to look at the side-by-side before my brain clicked into Michael's identity. His smile would have been unmistakable. A more animated expression would have helped me. And a static posture tricked me away from the idea of Michael in motion that is etched in my idea about him.
'Once played a game where we had to guess celebrities just by one feature, just eyes, just nose, just ears, etc. Everyone recognized Paul Newman's eyes because the photo showed his side-glancing twinkle with his iconic crows feet. Actors invest more of their brand into appearance and visual publicity than achievement based celebrities and, for me, that affects my speed of recognizing someone.
Lee Remick told a story of walking down a street with Marilyn Monroe noting how people were not bothering them. Marilyn looked at Lee and said, "Just watch, I am going to be that girl." She changed her posture, her movement, the tension in her muscles and her expression and people instantly flocked around them. Lee said she gained a whole new respect to Marilyn 's acting skills that day.
same - 1:30-1:31 for Leo because you got the angles just right and 2:53 for D. Craig
MJ @ 50, LD@1:51 and DC @ 3:12. Thanks for this informative video.
What I find interesting is your tecnique of painting dark to light! I've learn to paint light to dark .🙂
I knew from the second I looked at the thumbnail so I can't REALLY tell you when I started to know from you painting because subconsciously I already knew haha.
Michael Jordan at time 1:00, Leonard DiCaprio at time 2:08, and Daniel Craig at time 3:16. You are amazing.
1:00 - Michael Jordan (I've always had trouble with dark faces. I couldn't even guess it was him until you put down the light reflection on his lip.)
1:43 - Leonardo DeCaprio (I jumped to him at 1:29 because of the forehead, but I wasn't sure until 1:43)
2:52 - Daniel Craig (He has very distinctive curves and angles about the nose, eyes and forehead.)
Loved the True God thumbnail compilation
Recognized Jordan at 0:36. Awesome work man.
MJ @0:51, Leo @1:47, Putin @ 2:59 before Craig @3:02. Awesome
Hello, 1.44 for Leonardo and 3.10 for Daniel. Thank you for all your videos which are a great help to me. they are efficient, concise, easy to follow and give an incentive to paint.
One part of photorealism is all about becoming an expert at spot the difference. Comparing everything from colours, values, proportions, shapes etc - all of the different elements that go to create the whole painting, or the "gestalt".
0:49 MJ, 2:32 Leon, 3:18 Daniel. I think the subject can affect likeness to - I painted Groucho Marx and it's pretty hard to not look like him as long as I put that big mustache in. By comparison, Paul McCartney was a lot harder - I think his face lacks a distinctive feature.
I find that turning the music down low and watching talent in action is as therapeutic as a meditation session.
:42 MJ, 2:12 LDC, 3:08 for DC. Nice. Hope to try a portrait soon... though I'm enjoying the food still lifes.
0:42, 1:42, 2:56
crazy how early on in the process you can recognize the people
Ok, no joke. Might be because I have had a crush on Leo since I was 9 and he played in the Titanic, but I knew it was him from the outline at 1:31.. lol Too bad I'm too old for him now...
Wow for the 2nd portrait I knew at 1 second!
I don't know who the first or third persons are, but the second I spotted really early on, like around 1:43, that is amazing!
0:54 , 2:05 , 2:59 .
Very helpful video!
Always great tips and techniques. Your "FF demo" condensed along with your commentary a process that I get lost in. Fixing one particular area. Overworking and muddying portiat. Loved watching you Pull the 3D Likenesses out of 2D surface.
Interestingly, I got Leo right when he first appeared. I think it might be that hairline combined with the eyeline and shape of the chin/jaw. Is that a common photo of him maybe?
But, Craig I didn't get until you were finished at the very end.
For a while now, I had the idea to do an experiment with family members where I see how little I could draw of them before they could recognize who it was. My hypothesis (I'm a research scientist. So I can use that word...😆) was that they would be able to recognize who was who from the initial placement of marks for where the facial features are located. I don't think there needs to be any value or anything. My hypothesis stems from how...or at least how I understand...facial recognition to work, which is from measuring the mathematical distance of and between features of the face. I think those are pretty constant. Think of when you see images of people through their lives. You have no problem recognizing your grandfather when he was 30 years old versus when he is 80, even though you never saw him at 30! The smoothness of the skin doesn't confuse you. Weight gain or loss doesn't confuse you. The different hairstyles don't confuse you. Even facial hair, or not, doesn't confuse you. You can still recognize them. I really believe it's our minds' ability to recognize the placement a d distance between facial features that provides that recognition. Case in point...and a long story short...I identified my biological father about a year ago. He passed away 10 years ago, which stinks, but all is well. I'm building healthy relationships with my new siblings, and it's great. However, along the way, I realized that growing up, I had actually met my grandmother a few times when I was younger. When I found my family, they showed me pictures of him and his parents and siblings, of course. I immediately recognized his mom, my grandmother, as the lady that would visit a friend of my mom's...even when they were pictures of her at different stages of her life. Of course, my hypothesis could be incorrect, but that's how science works...🤷♂️
I've often heard it said that it's the eyes that make a likeness, but DiCaprio and Craig were instantly identifiable because of their distinctive hairstyles.
I don't know the first person, but you have a brilliant likeness. I got DiCaprio @1:53, and Daniel Craig at 2:53.
I did not know the person but it is very easy to see how accurate you are with the outlines and in a way I think that the outlines can be enough if it is a person you know well and then it was very interesting to see the way you place the eye brows/eyes and the mouth - very observing, very accurate very defining brushstrokes. 🎶🌷🎵🙏
Leo and Bond i knew right away
3min last painting, you are amazing.
0:46 , 1:44 , 2:56. REALLY INTERESTING HOW FAST I GOT THERE. YOu did a great job
MJ 0:39
Leo 1:54
Daniel 3:09
I learned lots today, thank you.
Didn’t know first person, agree re points for 2nd and 3rd!
MJ 53 143 or LdC 309 DC Just brilliant Chris!
0:51 michael jordan, 1:51 leonardo dicaprio, 3:02 daniel craig
i like your portraits so much
Jordan as soon as your first layer of colour went in, di caprio as soon as you'd done the mouth and, daniel craig as soon as you had put a lighter tone in
1:35 leonardo Dicaprio. One of the clients my company used to work with gave me tickets to see the Bulls during one of the championship years. They were awesome. I love Micheal Jordan.
He is, thanks so much for this specific video tips and demo. Portrait is a very challenging subject but with patience and observation the outcome will be good. I use the proportional divider for drawing and it is a great tool. I had an instructor that encourages to tracing when painting portraits. What are your thoughts about tracing? What about an underpainting? I need to watch this video again and get the most of it. I truly appreciate your videos and passing along what helps you when painting a portrait. Very educational along with great inspiration. As always, I wish you the best and much success un your career. Blessings and take care.
0:46 , 1:43, 2:57 but actually it was instantly from the thumbnail, that showed similar stages of the painting
40 seconds Michael Jordan, 1:40 Leonardo DiCaprio, 2:58 Daniel Craig. Great lesson!
Great loved the details!!!
Fantastic!
110, I went from my initial guess of Vin Diesel to Lawrence Fishburne to MJ in the end at 110ish
0:37 1:38 2:57 are the times I figured out the people-as time wnt on I just became more confident
1:38 Leo, 3:00 James Bond dude
The moment you put the ears on MJ I knew 😂
I learn more techniques thank you
0:41 for Michael, 2:17 for Leo and 3:01 for daniel
Michael Jordan at 0:44- leonardo Dicaprio 1:42- Daniel Craig 3:12 . thank you for all you share it is a tresor !
0:43 / 11:29 Michael, 1:55 / 11:29 Leonard and 3:07 / 11:29 for Daniel. Good job!!
1:11 Michael Jordan. Renaldo DiCaprio from the beginning I took a rough guess from the shape of his head but I became sure at 1:44
Daniel Craig 2:55
I think it took me longer to recognize Michael Jordan because I don't watch sports.
1. 0:51 MJ. 2 1:51 Ld C. 3. 3:11 Our agent 007
Funny Leonardo at 1:44, barely to see but must be the shading of e brown and form of face, Craig at 3:08 i think the ear did it
Recognized them at 2:17 and 2:57. Didn't know the first guy well enough to figure that one out.
1:46 leo, 2:59 daniel
New it was Michael Jordan at 0:46 // New it was Leonardo D C at 1:57 because of head shape and hair // New it was James Bond at 2:59 ..anyway great tut!
0:43 Michael Jordan my guess. Leo DiCaprio almost instantly guess 1:32. 3:06 Daniel Craig.
1:46 for Leonardo!
45 seconds in for MJ, 1:45 for Leonardo
Since I am a leo fan I knew by 1:35 who it was lol.
Thank you ❤️😊❤️😊!!
0.43 for MJ 1.46 for Leonardo
D caprio 1.58 Daniel Craig 3.13 , very good idea
MJ :42 Leo 2:14 DC 3:02 craigs forhead and nose were very prominent. mj was hard to puck up until u added the hightlights for me
Great explanation. My only criticism would be to use the phrase “building“ or “capturing“ a likeness.
1:32 For Leonardo
Amazing 😍💯❤
1:51 for DiCaprio. I didn't know the first one though!
oh thank you 🌼 that was so helpful
40 sec: Michael Jordan | 1:45: Leonardo Di Caprio | 3:16: Daniel Craig |
1. (M. Jordon) at 54 secs, 2. (L. Dicaprio) at 2.04 and 3. (D.Craig) 3.10.
Wow! I recognized Leonardo DiCaprio in the first second the canvas appeared
Michael Jordan I knew just before the 1:00 minute mark.
I was surprised at how far just a hairline and jawline goes toward a likeness.
For the last two. 1:37 and 3:10
Leo’s head shape was a giveaway. If you forget where to put an eye Chris, just remember it goes next to the other one 🤣. We want a Putin portrait of him wearing a toilet seat on his head 😁
1:02 for MJ
No idea on the first (I'm Scottish and not at all into sport). Leo (1:34). Craig (3:10)
115 (could not decide between Steve Harvey n jordan) 208 and 3 18
0:43 Michael Jordan, 1:38 Leonardo DiCaprio, 3:08 I swear I know that guy but I don't know his name
1:07 Michael Jordan
1:47 Leonardo DiCaprio
2:59 Daniel Craig
I hope it helps. :3
Don’t even recognise the first man, but for the other two, I recognised them at 1.33 and 3.15.
Please do a painting of Napoleon Bonaparte?
Perfect !
Buck tooth Daniel Craig beginner stages was funny
@ 1:09, 2:07 and 2:55
Lets see..
0:38 Michael Jordan
2:10 Leonardo Dicaprio (I thought so by 1:37 but wasn't sure)
3:10 Daniel Craig
3:10 David Craig? I'm really name blind but one of the most recent Bond actors
Woww. Innocent looking bond. *
