can we see the picture all togther? 

[annaburova]

Thank you for all amazing videos!!! I find them really useful to me and they helped a lot in measuring and understanding proportions. I am trying to paint pencil portraits and I have never had any lessons and the time for them came soon and I am really glad that I found exactly these lessons!!! Thank you again!

lol, there is a retarded person under my comment.

lmao!

[yan008]

ahaha. Win!

[graneet59]

For those of us who know nothing about drawing his lessons are sooo good. I have learned more in these few lessons that i thought i could and im 62 so things don't come easy. Your a great teacher

does anybody else think the black shadows that he's measuring look like Sigmund Freud in 3 quarter profile?

[spbighi0]

lol looks like the joker from the dark knight

[blueguitar77]

i dont really think that u use this technique every time that u want to draw a portrait

cuz i have seen a lot of ur videos and u dont do that.

well when i draw i dont really use techniques like that one, i only learned by my own way

and i really wanna draw just like u

but i havent drawn any portrait, and i have a lot of questions about it,

what kind of pencil u use to draw portraits?? graphite or charcoal?? hb or hb-- what?

i really wanna draw like u

u just blow my mind

congrats & thnx

Well it's pretty obvious he doesn't spend half an hour calculating each and every point in every single drawing.

What he's teaching in this video is to show you how to do it technically, and once you've practiced it enough you'll be able to do it just by looking. These are tips for starting off until you're at the point where it just happens naturally.

[EclecticAsylumArt]

You are right this isn't a technique. It is an exercise. It is set up for the person who does it to gain self insight and some confidence to do more portraits. Ita kinda like reverse engineering the process of breaking down what you see into something that can be interpreted and drawn.

[IURDragon]

dude... thanks for doing this man....

ur just an awesome human being!!!

[craker199]

No one is this technical whilst drawing a portrait.

[FloodTheStreets]

is it a woman's face? upside down it looks like a guy wearing a hat backwards.

[huggablz]

hay can u teach us to draw the rest PLZZZ!!!!!!

[hchaya1]

There is no need to all these measuring ... we should train our eyes to be the reference for measuring. Not easy. But I think it's the best way to become Pro. in drawing.

[786hanif]

don't make comments that show your ignorance of what he's trying to do: teach beginners techniques to get realistic portraits that need to be PRACTISED until they can do it by eye naturally. watch his vids from the start.

[PTCArtistry]

Thanks for teaching us different ways to draw portraits. I was wondering, if you haven't started in later videos, if you would time laps some of the drawing after you explain what to do, and go back to regular speed when you need to explain something further, That way you can put more on your videos.

P.S I really am learning a lot thanks so Much and God Bless

[LIAPOLDO]

and what if the image im trying to draw is smaller then the canvas?

[TheFemaleDurden]

Waaay back when you were first shading the shapes, you used inly the one pencil. When doing the rough 'base' shading, is it fine to do this? And when would you advise bringing different pencils in? Thanks for this again ^^

[EclecticAsylumArt]

I suggest learning to use one of the soft pencils. If you use a 4b you will learn to get a light delicate touch. Then you can use the other pencils to fill in the gaps of what you can't do with a 4b.

[goldenfinger2000]

Haha this is genius, I only did one piece of the ep 5 exercise thinking that it wouldn't have much use..

I guess it's time for me to do the other 3!

[EclecticAsylumArt]

It's made for you to discover something. That's why I say there is a surprise and the surprise is not the person you are drawing. The surprise is that you will teach yourself to look at the world differently.

[goldenfinger2000]

Wow.

Thank you so much for this lesson and you really took your time on letting us know what you were doing, and I thank you for that.

I now finished 3 of the parts and almost finishing up with the last. (Which is about a week.)

Thanks again!

[rezz110]

You are the best! Many thanx.

[Sharkhead7856]

what type of pencil is that

[bmariani77]

these classes are very well done

[firataydineyup]

I am an ambigious amateour drawer also but what you teach completly broadened my mind

THNXXXXXXXXX

[asher1112]

One thing i am learning is patience. When I would see videos of yours drawing somebody I would loose sight of how much time you really had invested into a drawing. I enjoy your insight into drawing.

[EclecticAsylumArt]

This process is incredibly slow, but it works great for some trying it for the first time. The end results are usually impressive even for someone who has never drawn before...and everyone learns their own little shortcuts doing it. Patience is important but a lot of people end up finding out that drawing and other forms of art are very relaxing and the passing of time gets lost being in the moment.

[lirantwik]

thanks for all these helpful videos=)

[r3yrey]

thank you for taking the time to teach us these things!

[ithinklikeacow]

Very clever
