whoa this is like your first. its amazing. i tried one yesterday, and it came out pretty nicely, though there is still room for improvement. I'm going to keep trying. by the way, what type of paper are you using? I used watercolor paper (cold-pressed) and i know i know that it probably wasn't my best idea...

[Freak7109]

@akikolph747 Im using general sketching paper, suitable for water colours and drawing. I think it is cold-pressed as well. There is a texture to it, but not as course as you might get with some watercolour papers.

[AngelofDeathhhh6]

do u cleanup ur brushes after use?

[AngelofDeathhhh6]

wow!! thats so freaking good! how long did it take u?

[MissMochaa]

are u using only oil paint

[Freak7109]

@MissMochaa yes

[MissMochaa]

@Freak7109 this is amazin pic! hope u gonna draw more with dry brush technique, keep it up

[Mrpencil1996]

For the brushes can you just get regular paint brushes?

[Freak7109]

@Mrpencil1996 Aye, they're just some paint brushes I already had, and I experimented with different sizes and fibre types. I have a tutorial on my art channel BlueKittyCreations - I explain what I use and why :-)

[BananaHurricane]

I noticed that you don't lay down a spare sheet of paper to protect your work from smudging. Am I to understand that this technique carries little to no risk of smudging?

[Freak7109]

@BananaHurricane I've never noticed any smudging... But using an extra sheet of paper to protect from smudging isn't a habit of mine, even when pencil drawing - though in that case I probably should use one....

[729mana]

wow great but shouldn't there be like darker on the neck couse the shadow from the hair and face correct me if im wrong tho

[Freak7109]

@729mana um...there is a shadow on the neck? I suppose I could have made it even darker, but thats how it looked like to me from the photo I was referencing. There isnt much neck here, so its all a little bit in shadow.

[lottiechar123]

Just some questions haha, what brush are you using? and are you adding anything to the oil paint or is it just on its own (e.g. thinners)?

Awesome painting by the way :)

[Freak7109]

@lottiechar123 The oil paint is just on its own. I have a tutorial on dry brushing (shoudl be a link in the description bar) on my art channel. I explain all the brushes I use and why :-)

[niceegirl1]

[AsiaPassionSparkle]

[MsBethLondon]

[cheterry17]

I really like this technique. Do you think i could also do this with colors instead of the black and grays?

[Freak7109]

@cheterry17 Most certainly! I havent tried it myself, but others have.

[xXxSRABxXx11]

واااااو.

رسم جميل جدا عزيزتي ..

أرجوك ما هي الأدوات التي استخدمتيها في هذا الرسم ؟؟

[Inkkflicted]

hey, im interested in learning. any pointer's, tips???

[Freak7109]

@Inkkflicted :-) I made a tutorial all about how I do this, the link is in the description box.

[stmc247]

I have a question. How were you able to make the color (in your case black) to be darker or lighter depends on region? Is it because if you apply more pressure on the brush, it'll make it darker?

[Freak7109]

@stmc247 More pressure will work more paint in to the paper. But for the really dark areas I needed more paint loaded on to the brush Essentially, more paint = darker

[MinecraftZephos]

I just bought the supplies to try this.. Finally going to branch out from pencil and charcoal! Wish me luck ;D

[MrDrako86]

omg nice job =D

[Nikierue]

wow Amazing, love this technique thinking of trying it one day

[TheRickiebobby]

[Freak7109]

@artgirl155 Thank you ^_^ I have a tutorial on Dry Brushing on my Art channel. There's a link in the description :-)

[artgirl155]

@Freak7109 Ah yay! I'll visit it tomorrow... for now, i am tired ^_^ One quick question,

When did you realize your talent/ How long have you been drawing?

[Freak7109]

@artgirl155 Well, I've been drawing as long as I can remember... Usually always had a pad of paper and a pencil around since I was very young. I think my art has really taken off in the last few years though. I'm self-taught so I wonder sometimes how good I could be if I went to art uni or smth.

[artgirl155]

@Freak7109 Ah yay! I'll visit it tomorrow... for now, i am tired ^_^ One quick question,

When did you realize your talent/ How long have you been drawing? OH YEAH! and how long did it take you? LOL sorry! Most artists dont respond :)

[artgirl155]

@Freak7109 ah! thank you so much!!! u really are talented!

[jesguz1031]

[Diller68]

Du har meget smukke øjne !

[Freak7109]

@Diller68 Mange Tak ^_^

[0682qows]

It is sooooo beautiful !!!!!!

[Diller68]

Hi ! Very Nice drawing - Saw your tutorial on dry brush - very informative, Just one question- For how long can you go without cleaning the brushes? Dont they dry and spoil the brush ?

Thankx Blå Missekat

Niels

[Freak7109]

@Diller68 I suppose I dont clean my brushes until im done with the painting.... The big brushes don't get so much paint on them, but the small ones certainly need cleaning, and I try to do that after I finish each painting.

Since im using oil paint, it does take a lot longer than acrylic to dry on the brush. So, i've gone a few days without cleaning them.

[Diller68]

@Freak7109 Thanx -

Oh You speak very nice danish by the way :)

[andtzc]

Hii ive tried it yesterday and it didn't work:(! It was really hard for me to blend out the edges...and I had a hard time to control the intensity of the color. Have u any suggestions please?? And my paper had a bit of texture, is that a problem? Does the paper has to be really smooth?! I would really apreciate a reponse :(

[Freak7109]

@andtzc Check out my tutorial on my other channel BlueKIttyCreations: youtube.com/user/BlueKittyCrea­tions#p/u/0/U6QVX2BcLAE

I go through all of the materials and why I use them and give a demonstration of how to do it. I hope it helps! :-)

[Misterbietje]

stunning !!!! I'm seriously considering to start using dry brush tehn.

(right now i'm a reallistic drawer in pencil)

what is your oppinion of the techn. dry brush ??? :-)

grtzz

[Freak7109]

@Misterbietje Going from pencil to dry brush can make it seem like you've massively improved! I think it adds quality to a portrait, so I love it :-) Check out my art channel BlueKittyCreations, where I do a dry brush tutorial. U6QVX2BcLAE

[isoldmysoultoyou]

this is astounding. 

[vampire91766]

how long have you been drawing? i love this technique:) great job ma'm



[VTun1ng]

have you use anything else except of black oil?

[Freak7109]

@VTun1ng No not yet. I plan to add some colour to my next paintings though. I think I would stick with oil paint, as acrylic would dry out too quickly for me.

[urosh1991]

would be a lot easier for us if we didn't need to flip our monitors.

[omegafox3]

Beautiful Portrait!! Talent is def visible, I want to start using this technique, I just wanted to ask you if you use lubricant oil to thin the oil paint or if you use it straight out of the tube?? Thanks a lot :)

[Freak7109]

@omegafox3 I use it straight from the tube :-) 

[zahydilla]

Nice vid and nice song!! Continue working and doing more videos!!! Wanna see them!!!

[kissteph1]

[xLRsT]

1:26 the light is black 1:27 turns blue 1:48 it turns yellow What the fuck?

[Freak7109]

@xLRsT Thats just my camera trying to adjust to the changing light conditions in the room. Sunny, cloudy, and florescent light.

[latanzalasha]

I just dont understand the concept of dry-brushing....am I just using paint without wetting the brush...can I use charcoal dust as well..? Could you explain dry brushing to me please.........

[Freak7109]

@latanzalasha yes, keep the brush dry. You want a very light and even coat of paint on the brush. So, I will put the brush in the paint, and get the excess off on a paper towel. So you slowly and softly build up the shadows.

I'm not sure about charcoal dust.. but I imagine since the dust is dry itself it wont stick as well, but you should always experiment with your ideas!

[latanzalasha]

@Freak7109 ok thank you.I will try this....it just seems hard in a way like to make it so even but with practice........

[llllXeallll]

dude that's pretty beastly

what kind of paint do you use for dry brush? i want to try my hand at this technique now lol

[Freak7109]

@llllXeallll cheers :-) I'm using oil paint, but you should be able to use acrylic as well

[llllXeallll]

@Freak7109 =D thanks! this looks like a very fun way of drawing portraits due to how soft it looks

[TheEazye83]

it looks really good... good job first try i had to watch it twice it was that amazing

[OgreVI]

Wow. Very, very impressive. I came to thank you for subscribing, but I had to tell you how much I liked this. Well done!

[Freak7109]

@OgreVI Thank you very much! ^_^

[chargie13]

WOW! I've seen great artist like Igor Kazarin and you are awesome for a first timer. Keep up the good work, hopefully I can try this and have good result the first time...Your comment to xSkarprox helped a lot .Thank you.

[billycap2004]

@chargie13 Good luck and have fun! :-D

[Freak7109]

@chargie13 oops...that last reply was actually from me.. forgot to log out of my friends channel :-p

[haza1816]

like to see more of your art. First time incredible thanks.

[billycap2004]

@haza1816 Thanks :-) I just got a higher quality webcam, so I plan to upload more of my paintings in the future :-D

[stphq]

fantastic :)

[jaimzjgreen]

Stunning... I want to try this technique so bad!!!

[markleerose]

Your abilities are either witchcraft or magic. Well, to me, anyway. :)

[MrCoyallen]

Wow! Very nice.

[GreasedUpSpud]

That's class! If that's your first time then you're just a winner at life.

By the way what's the tune, I really like it?

[Freak7109]

@GreasedUpSpud "winner at life" haha I like it!

the music is Clare Maguire - Ain't Nobody (Breakage Remix)

[TheAnMish]

So beautiful! You're amazing :)

[xSkarprox]

That is amazing! I want to learn how to do that, though i really don't know much about the brushes. Keep up the great work!

[Freak7109]

@xSkarprox Thanks :-) Well.... I just experiemented with what brushes worked, as it was my first time. Small and stiff for the dark lines and big soft for the shading of the face essentially. :-p

Brushes must be dry obviously, and no water used at all. Just brush in paint, brush the excess off in a paper towel , because you just want a thin even covering on the brush.

Thre are lots of examples on YouTube, but no tutorials unfortunately (that i could find)
