@Meduteja i believe that to be very true, but once you establish basics of realism you are able to manipulate them to fit whatever style you want to draw
Uhm... I'm asian and I tried to draw my sister but I noticed that asians have different features than others... like small black eyes... and most of the pictures have them squinting when they smile... How exactly do I draw an "asian" person... from a picture?
Linedrawing from photos isn't bad at all, the shapes of the body/objects will always be the same. Really good to learn anatomy and poses. Painting/shading from photos isn't that great as from life on the other hand. Since you can't see all the lightsources, it could give you the wrong vision of how light reacts towards things. Just my opinion.
I think the same way. The reason I find life drawing invaluable is that you can get a better understanding of what you are drawing and learn more as a result. It's hard in a photo to understand why there's a highlight here or shadow there or a hard edge here or soft edge there, but when you look at a model in a live session, you can look at it from various angles and find out why those things are there. Still, I generally don't have the luxury of a model and find photos to be invaluable [...]
Just recently I started attending life drawing sessions that I found locally (haven't attended those since attending university almost a decade ago) and I couldn't believe the difference in quality in made in my drawings. Before I took the value of life drawing for granted as a student, but since then I find it essential that I keep attending these live sessions to hone my skills.
opposites= red and green, blue and orange, yellow and violet.
If you mix any of those opposites you should come out with a brown.
There are also colors in between the secondaries, like red violet (rv), violet red (vr). You take a violet and a more red to it to make red violet, or more violet to make violet red.
so you have ro or, oy yo, yg gy, gb bg, bv vb, and vr rv.
Hi, I'm Brazilian and I love their tutorials, but I do not understand much English, and wanted to ask her to put a caption in Portuguese for Brazilians to read, and make sure, your videos may require prior more views from the Brazil and other Paisses.
Hey everyone thanks for watching. Yea I had some personal stuff I didn't think was cool to share. I'll take a video next week in my Tuesday class.. Hopefully.
Hi, I've been watching your vids for a while and I find them fantastic, but I wanted to ask if you could ever do a vid that you film during your classes, so we can get an idea of what it is you do and how you do it.
I heard that if you want to be a good anime artist you have to know realism too.Is that true?...

references as well for anatomy, poses, etc. and one can still learn a great deal from them.

Drawing from life is the best thing you could ever do, I hate drawing from photos, I can always tell when I do, and i can tell in other works to.
I don't think it teaches anything but copying, which in art you should come up with your own ideas, and not lean to copy what someone else has done.

I have a question: Why is it that you almost exclusively draw females?

I learned a long time ago to focus on what you like to draw. The subject matter that you work with should be what you love to draw.

Google a color wheel! (:
But...
primaries= red, yellow, blue.
secondaries= orange, green, violet
opposites= red and green, blue and orange, yellow and violet.
If you mix any of those opposites you should come out with a brown.
There are also colors in between the secondaries, like red violet (rv), violet red (vr). You take a violet and a more red to it to make red violet, or more violet to make violet red.
so you have ro or, oy yo, yg gy, gb bg, bv vb, and vr rv.
Hope that helps somewhat.

@xXVisionaryXx I think he was trying to hid some plans. Like maybe there were some house addresses he did not want to share or something.
