Thank you so much for giving so much of your time to teach us how to draw - the easy way! You are a wonderful teacher, and cover everything thoroughly. I have just enrolled in an Art Course, and you have laid the foundation stones wonderfully for me.
@0Angelfromheaven0 don't let that discourage you. practice makes it easier and easier, so you can just eyeball/give an accurate guess as to where things must go.
I have a queston I watched all of your measuring videos but I did I drawing I would like to transfer onto a bigger canvas... since triangles are regular shapes ur methods of measuring are easy... but with my drawing being so irregular... how do i transfer it onto a bigger scale onto my canvas? thanks ^_^
okay so i watched all the episodes and i dont understand how im going to be able to draw a photograph. the videos are great but how are you going to print out 3 different versions of the same pic like with the 3 step thing. im not going to beable to do dark parts first then measure the white then add mid tones. where do you start?? im not going to blur out my pictures and do these steps. how do you draw a portrait that is just a portrait not different versions?? can someone help me
This was really wonderful. I've been drawing cartoon/comic book style faces for years, and I've always wanted to learn how to draw real faces, but I could never get the features to match up, no matter how I adjusted. Your tips on triangulation and seeing the values as shapes help a lot.
I'm going to go try this exercise with other photos as well.
Artists throughout the ages have used mechanical means to help them - in the Renaissance period there was a perspective machine, nowadays some use a projector. The idea is to experiment with what works for YOU. One man's meat is anothers' poison.
People starting out in art are misled by ignorant comments such as below. Art is like anything else in life; it must be taken in steps. It is comments like these that mislead others into thinking art is some "mysterious" thing, and either you have it, or you don't have it(which is simply not true). It must be taken in steps, just like in any other mastery, and Eclectic is kind enough to show us some of those first steps to more effectively be on our way. ----
There are many artists who never depart from this process and stick to very mechanical methods of producing pictures from photos that people unfamiliar with the process would find to be spectacular. It's an easy way to get attention and money for your work. But the point of the video is to serve as an exercise, and the artists with potential will use it to train their eye and become less and less reliant on such techniques and that's when their works will begin to take on a life of their own.
@jfrcks Well I think it depends would you consider the Mona Lisa art? How about The Thinker? In my opinion yes. Art is relative to the artist. If there was an artist who could take a photo and draw that photo in full color in such a way that you couldn't tell the difference between the two. You wouldn't call him an artist?
@arncj18 I like pencil drawings too, but there is no reason to shun photoshop. Why not apply what you learn in traditional drawing to digital painting as well?
But that's WRONG, you moron. Youtube is, infact, an English website, and while you can speak Spanish all you want, people are perfectly justified in complaining at you about it.
@WriterUnit32 Well asshole, it is perfectly justified that we can insult you in your mother tongue! So fuck off dude! Learn Spanish you moron, instead of complaining! Because of people like you this world is not a better place!
Good instructional program series, a bit slow for me, but paced well for beginners. Suggestion, when planning a demonstration, allow the piece size to accommodate a mat within your standard size frame. Example: 12"x16" art and 2" mat fits a 16"x20" frame. After all the work, lets protect it.
These videos you have made filled me with fascination and also made me find something deep within me what I've been searching for for a long time. The fact that this was the last episode made me quite sad. Thank you for your time and I wish you all the best in your life! =)
a man im not saying this is a bad video cause other pepole can do it but whene i tryed it it looked like a peace of sh$% so can u help me my stuff was always to dakr or not dark enofe so i need alot of help
If u r reading this, then u will find a dead bloody body hanging in ur closet. U will be haunted and killed by her. to stop it posti this to 6 other videos in 30 GOOD LUCK
I know, hes really good. I'm just saying that he needs to blend it (this picture), and THEN it would look like a mirror image of her...lol I love that Cheeto's video. :D
Hey dude...where are the rest of the vids...I feel like a kid must feel when Dad says he's going to work but he never comes back and years later you find out he has another family 5 states away...LOL....okay I'm just kidding. This was a great series

que aburrido tu tutprial te demoras mucho faltan luces y sombras en tu trabajo... y no hay degradados limpios se nota la textura del lapiz.... comprate un difuminador o con papel higienico..
I have taken lesson from two renown master artists and you have done a far better job explaining / articulating what it takes to make a good / great portrait. Pay no attention to the jealous bloggers who do not have the patience to achieve the skills you have! More posts... please
hey man.....this series of drawing tutorials are purely a great work.....its fantastic. I actually learnt the simple tecnique to draw a pic.....thank u ^_^
I heard it many times, people say draw what you see, but of course when I tried to draw i failed. The way you showed/explained how volumes create an image -I can draw now :))) Of course faces appear out of proportion and some parts look more real than others. But people can recognize the face. As a side effect, when I look at people now, I search for volumes :) Question: Where does one go from here ? Any books that you think is worthwhile ?How do I practice the right way so I get better ?
would it be possible to show how to draw the hard stuff? like the nose, since the lips, chin, and neck are fairly standard. and what did you use for the first one? it looks like paint, but whatever you used, its breathtaking.
firstly, I want to thank you for the interesting episodes, I probably learned more than in six years of school art lessons... ^^
Nonetheless, there is something I cannot really understand:
If I understood you right, you normally start drawing with a 4B pencil.. But didn't you say also that one should start with the lightest pencil, whereas 4B is the darkest ? I am a little bit confused :)
It doesnt matter what the darkness is, but how hard and light you press, If you have a soft enough touch you could do a whole portrait with a 6B pencil
I watched all 27, THANK YOU :) I would never thought of getting the portrait done in this way lol. It takes a looot of patience, but i have it fortunatelly ;] Now i need only to figure out how to do such photoshoped contrast pictures in the right order and i will do some piece of art lol haha.
Thanks again, you did great job + your intoduction to drawing was extraordinary :)
This is the best tutorial I've seen so far! Thank you very much! Not only are you able to make beginning drawers realize what they can do if they use the right techniques, you also show more experienced artists interesting facts and methods in an easy to understand and inspiring way. Watching this helped me a lot. Again thank you!

But hes not a partner, or else there would be a red triangle on the top left corner. Plus you been hating on this guy so bad, i guess u are just jealous.
Youtube's owned by google. Youtube/Google get the money from the websites that the ads link to then give Jason/any other lucky ad person a share. I wanna know how to strike one of those deals lol. Anyways, why are we talking about money when we should be discussing how good he is at teaching, isn't it a real eye opener to watch his videos and realize it's not about what you see and label typically but what is actually there when you break it down?
Thanks for taking the time to teach us how to draw portraits. These lessons really meant a lot to me. I now have a newfound confidence in creating artwork--it is steady and fine-tuned. And I couldn't have done it without your generous lectures. If you have the time, I was hoping that you could provide tutorials on other media as well. Once again, thank you.
Hi, i've been watching your videos, i really like them!!!! thank u very much for teaching me drawing portraits FREE!!!!!! you know, i actually buy all kinds of pencils and good paper, and follow your steps, that's feels really good. Suddently, i find life is much more fun with drawing. No matter how bad my drawing is, i always feel happy. thank u for bring me all these happiness!!! thx!!!
So are these exercises (from episode five to episode six) supposed to help you see value? Can these exercises be applied to all forms of art (not just portraiture) like cartooning? Is this helpful for all realism and not just portraiture?
these videos are really awesome... thanks a lot for the videos....u r a very talented man... could you plz lemme knw frm where can i download the last part of episode 6. its no longer available in utube or u can upload ot again...for all ur fans...
I really like these videos and I find your advice very helpful, but I think the last ones have been way too long. I often had to skip the parts of the videos that have no talking. This one had too many parts too; the actual teaching could have been condensed into something like 4 parts. I suggest that you speed up the drawing process (3x would be enough) while teaching and explaining on voiceover.
That aside, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and talent publicly and for free. :)
I'm sorry for asking that question earlier, i kicked in halfway through the episode, and i watched the earlier parts just now which explain everything
How can one copy a picture if the scaling of original and destination is not 1:1, e.g. if you have to enlarge a certain part of a picture? Triangulation won't work then i guess
Yeah it will, go back to that video and he explains that you can scale the triangulation by measuring two angles and you can find the third point by marking where they intersect.
Should we be starting to see the layers when we look at a picture or subject? Should the shadings start to pop out or is how you see that way coming in futher lessons? Thanks for your time....it is helpful.
1) Depends on the drawing. Most of the videos are probably canson and strathmore. Acid free drawing paper works well and lasts. Also use 100% cotton papers for important things.
2)answered in an early video in the series.
3) No, this was done to illustrate stepped value shapes. It is a simplified and obvious example how I look at what I'm drawing.
Thanks Jason! Great tutorials. I am following along with the steps. I do one step per day and learning a lot. This makes much more sense than reading a drawing book.
That's why I put the warning to skip ahead. If you're like me you just want to jump in and try it yourself. But people are always asking to watch real time.
very good job. i love drawing, but im so bad at it. im not bad at the shading part actually. what im terrible at is seeing a shape and reproducing it...but then again i didnt know the pencil method. thank you!!! i watch ur videos everydaaaayyyy :P

i frikin love your draws n tutorials, and i make draws, so this helped me to get a lot more profesional, but there are a few things:
1) most of my draws are not at the same size, i always make them bigger, so what do you recommend?
2)i always copy them from the computer, so now i'll need to imprint them if i want a better result
3)what about draws with color? i'll need to change the image to black and white and then copy it?
thanks anyway :D!

Anyways, why are we talking about money when we should be discussing how good he is at teaching, isn't it a real eye opener to watch his videos and realize it's not about what you see and label typically but what is actually there when you break it down?

Hi Jason,
Thanks for taking the time to teach us how to draw portraits. These lessons really meant a lot to me. I now have a newfound confidence in creating artwork--it is steady and fine-tuned. And I couldn't have done it without your generous lectures. If you have the time, I was hoping that you could provide tutorials on other media as well. Once again, thank you.

So are these exercises (from episode five to episode six) supposed to help you see value? Can these exercises be applied to all forms of art (not just portraiture) like cartooning? Is this helpful for all realism and not just portraiture?

I really like these videos and I find your advice very helpful, but I think the last ones have been way too long. I often had to skip the parts of the videos that have no talking. This one had too many parts too; the actual teaching could have been condensed into something like 4 parts. I suggest that you speed up the drawing process (3x would be enough) while teaching and explaining on voiceover.
That aside, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and talent publicly and for free. :)

I'm sorry for asking that question earlier, i kicked in halfway through the episode, and i watched the earlier parts just now which explain everything

How can one copy a picture if the scaling of original and destination is not 1:1, e.g. if you have to enlarge a certain part of a picture? Triangulation won't work then i guess
ELStalky 3 years ago
Yeah it will, go back to that video and he explains that you can scale the triangulation by measuring two angles and you can find the third point by marking where they intersect.

Should we be starting to see the layers when we look at a picture or subject? Should the shadings start to pop out or is how you see that way coming in futher lessons? Thanks for your time....it is helpful.

You have taught me the most helpfull things about drawing, and that made the huggest difference.
I wish I could e-mail you some of my drawings or something so you could see the progress i've done so far.

Hey, I appreciate the amount of time and effort you put into these videos to help us become artists. I wanted to ask you a few questions.
1)What paper do you use in your portrait drawings?
2) Do you use graphite pencils or charcoal pencils, and which hb's do you use most often?
3) Do you basically go into photoshop with every picture you draw and give it the different values/filters?
Thanks So much and hope I hear from you!

1) Depends on the drawing. Most of the videos are probably canson and strathmore. Acid free drawing paper works well and lasts. Also use 100% cotton papers for important things.
2)answered in an early video in the series.
3) No, this was done to illustrate stepped value shapes. It is a simplified and obvious example how I look at what I'm drawing.

Thanks Jason! Great tutorials. I am following along with the steps. I do one step per day and learning a lot. This makes much more sense than reading a drawing book.

after watching all these videos im so glad your speed paintings arent in real time, otherwise it would be like watching these tutorials lol
but thanks, i wish my art teacher spent this much time helping me in school

That's why I put the warning to skip ahead. If you're like me you just want to jump in and try it yourself. But people are always asking to watch real time.
