this video was so easy to understand and kept me engaged the entire time. i was surprised bc usually watching tutorial videos is pretty boring for me and most of the time I feel like I sort of already know most of the stuff they're saying. but this video was actually really helpful and entertaining! totally underrated tho :(
THIS VIDEO HELPED ME SOO MUCH I CAN'T EXPRESS IT! I REALLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH DRAWING A FACE AND NOW THE TIPS OF MEASURING THE FACE MADE MY DRAWING SO INCREDIBLY PERFECT!!!YOUR TIPS ARE SO AMAZING I LOVE THIS CHANNEL AND WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT IT!!!
This is a actual video of describing of how to draw portrait like a professional, It's very rare to find video like this with such a useful information❤
i find this actually very informative, i never thought of thinking of everything of something i draw as a shape therefore limiting me from drawing much of a face since i can never pin it down, and the other aspect of scaling that you demonstrated is what finally helped me understand how to effectively check the scale of a person or thing’s face/size, also love your humor! keep up the good work too!
This was very helpful.. I draw just as a hobby but have only taken a art class way back in elementary school. I usually just stick to what is easy for me (mostly plants) but I have wanted to learn how to draw people to challenge myself and (hopefully) improve my skills in the process.. turning the image upside down just helped me see so much that I wasn't seeing before... so awesome
Awesome! I'm so glad you found the tips helpful. Yes, turning everything upside down is something I did as an illustrator, often. It was especially helpful as a very last step before shipping everything to the client. Good luck with it all! 😊
Corrie was great as your live model. I don't know if she's done that type of work before, but one thing I found out long ago when working with some models is that getting them to relax can be the toughest part of the session. Some models get nervous because the artist is just "staring" at them or they get anxious because they don't know what to do, or just making eye contact with them for long periods can be uncomfortable if they are not used to that. So what I do is just talk to them about anything but the modeling. Small talk while I take the major measurements, or establish the layout does not require them to be perfectly still and they can loosen up a bit and get comfortable. I also like to take photos so I can reference them later to fill in the fine details that take the most time without the model having to even be there. Photos are also great to keep the light source the same depending on where you are sitting the model and the light source(s) available. I enjoyed your instructions, but to be honest with you what really got me to watch this video was your thumbnail. It showed Corrie and she looks like a twin sister to a model I am currently using and have drawn many times over the past year. When I asked her to pose almost a year ago, she was always nervous, laughed a lot, couldn't hold a pose, got embarrassed and all those things new models tend to do. Now she is very relaxed, goes straight into the poses, follows instructions perfectly - "look there, look here, up, down, smile, serious, turn..." It's a blessing to have such a great model and it looks as if you found one in Corrie as well.
I have just recently watched a dozen “how to draw a portrait” videos. This one is by far the one that helped me the most. Not to mention you are a very likable person.
i just discovered your channel and realized you’re telling every tip that i couldn’t find in any other channel and found out on my own (like the order of the stages, revealing the shape of the shadows at first, turning everything upside down etc.) you’re my favorite now 🔥
I love how you point things out, it's clear and straight to the point. The visuals also helps to point out the details on the instruction. I find it fun to watch and at the same time I'm getting knowledge from your video. Thanks for the informations!😁
This is exactly what I needed, everything was perfect,the explanation is easy to understand, there's humour,the model is beautiful,and now I understand what "seeing shapes" truly means. Thank you.
Thank you for making this simple to understand with thorough examples. Art gives me anxiety due to my perfectionist heart, and so many people simply say to do things but they don't explain it well and leave it more for interpretation. Thank you again sir, I love your videos🖤
I just discovered your channel and before I really thought you had millions of subscribers. Your videos are so well done. Easy to understand and the editing is F A B. I also love the humour that you add. Keep it up! ;)
As the title it is. It's tips. Not saying that its all applicable in all portrait drawing or subject to draw okey? But all of the contents of his video helps most specially those beginners. So stop saying nah. Trying to act better than him..
Helpful! 👍🏻I did not expect the drawing to be this similar to the model at first! And I'm mostly concerned about the similarity between my work and the model so if I get disappointed I simply give up continuing it! ☹
Thanks for this tutorial. Being a beginner artist. I do have potential. So I've watched many all over UA-cam. And im getting it now! Easy like 1+1=2 YOUR VIDEO makes it less stressful. Simple measurements. basic outline. When you focus on shallows and shapes it makes it so much easier to understand. Without all the extra mumbo jumbo😂😂 im definitely subscribing to your channel. Thanks again!
This was really helpfull! Especially for a beginner like me! Im trying to make a protrait with only online references so i cant know the height, but it still really helpfull tho!
this was absolutely wonderful video!! I keep getting stuck with portraits and super frustrated because of it but these are actuslly great tips (and it’s super engaging!)
You're welcome! These tips work with any drawing medium. Graphite, charcoal, etc. I used a combination of General's charcoal pencils and Conte sketching pencils.
Im so grateful that youtube recommend this video to me, both of woman and your drawing are so beautiful! Also your tips are so easy to understand. Keep doing your awesome work! Support from Indonesia 😍🇮🇩
Seeing everything as a shape is a common 'strategy' for drawing and painting in a representational (realistic) way. One that is taught by a lot of art teachers, I imagine. Glad you commented!
Picked up a couple very handy considerations to bear in mind. And you TOTALLY captured your subject in your piece. There is no question that, that is her in the portrait. In other words, it doesn’t ‘look’ like her at all. It IS her. Which says a lot especially when the model is so symmetric. There’s no cheating or relying on some random yet distinguishably/identifiably visible character trait (good OR bad) that would come from just casual/simple observation. Thank you for sharing.
Okay but can we talk about that epic editing?
Don't know if it's epic… exactly… but thanks! 😉

When you see a person who takes the pencil just like that, you know the drawing is going to be so good!!!!!
😊 Thanks!!!
I’m a young artist doing portraits, I’ve been doing art basically my whole life. And this Video helps a lot, thanks!
great tutorial! Being able to see shapes and darkness while ignoring the subject makes everything so much more fun to draw too.
Thanks! And, I couldn't agree more!

The most helpful and to the point tutorial video ever! Thank you so much 🤗
Great tips!
I love broccoli though 🥦 even if it’s asymmetrical.
Haha… me too, Marisha. Me too 😉
I'd say not even a face is symmetrical, nothing in nature is really, if you look close enough. But broccoli is fun to draw! Romanesco too!
@@illustratornamedkasper
Yes, agreed. Nothing is truly perfectly symmetrical and that’s not a problem 🌱
@@illustratornamedkasper True that. Glad you commented! (Haha… will have to try drawing Romanesco next) 🥦🥦🥦
@@illustratornamedkasper
There is a very common thing in nature that is very symmetrical to the limit of unaided eyes.
It is the sun.
Thank you. This was fun and informative. Also, Corrie is very patient .
Your tips helps to make a potrait of Albert Einstein
This was the best drawing tip video ever 👍

when you said, see it as a shape , I remember another great teacher in youtube, his name is Yong Chen,
" Great minds think alike"
Seeing everything as a shape is a common 'strategy' for drawing and painting in a representational (realistic) way. One that is taught by a lot of art teachers, I imagine. Glad you commented!
