Ive just noticed just how well formed that nose is

[johnnybucks72]

What paper are you using?

[yvadmil]

@johnnybucks72 Canson (cachou colour)

[efc23]

Oh well!....never again will I use white for the 'whites' of the eye, from now on it's pale blue for me.

Really nice work!

For my next life....I request a pastel portrait artist in Paris.

[Wylei]

I just found your videos today, brilliant!

[AnotherMadder]

yvadmil,

These videos are a ray of sunshine for me, refuge from a crazy world. Thanks for posting them. I'm grateful for the opportunity to "visit" Place du Tertre and to watch this colony of artists give expression to something beautiful in mankind.

[PrincessSorra]

it takes about ten minutes to finish one of these?!

it usually takes me hours to days to finish even part of the face in colour. ><;;

amazing work, i'll keep trying to get as good as this. :)

thank yu for posting this up!

[yvadmil]

@PrincessSorra In fact the portrait was executed in 30 minutes.I edited out a lot,including the begining, to keep within the you tube 10 minute deadline,but 30 mins is still very fast.In fact Agnes is probably the fastest portraitist at the place du tertre.

[PrincessSorra]

@yvadmil ahh, i was gonna say, dang, ten minutes for that? xD

ahaha, but thirty mins is still just wow..

do yu perhaps have any tips on using pastels? :O

cause i've been practicing with pastels and i always seem to smudge the darker colors and can never do anything about it. ><

[yvadmil]

@PrincessSorra Start with mid-tone then add lighter colours.The darkest colours

should be used right at the end.Pure white highlights are finishing touches too.

Avoid white paper;tinted half-tone paper is much better for blending.Remember

all pastels will become 'dirty' if you overwork the drawing..keep it fast and fresh!

[PrincessSorra]

@yvadmil : thank yu very much! :D

i'll keep all this in mind for my next practice work. ^^

maybe after i finish, can yu perhaps find the time to critique my work a little? :O ><

ah, but then i don't wanna be a bother, ahaha.. so its alright if its a no, but if yes, it would help a lot!

ahaha, well, yeahh, thanks for the tips.x)

[Annaishmint]

thankyou so much for this video!

i have learned a lot from it :)

[Nicastr84]

will put more videos like this, please! yvadmil

[Nicastr84]

Thank you yvadmil!!!!!!!!

[shysterlicious]

Superb. Even if I disagree with the choice of colors, it's nonetheless a pleasure to see a video where a drawing of this technical level comes to life.

[jimer4444]

Davy your movie skills just keep getting better and better. An artist making vids of artists at work. The results are beyond words....Bravo Agnes....and Bravo Davy.

[yvadmil]

@jimer4444 Thank you all for the positive feedback!

[omarpirez]

Bravo Agnes, un super portrait; du débout à la fin. Je devrais regarder plus souvent ce que tu fais.....pour continuer à aprendre. Bravo au cineaste aussi.
