STANFORD PRISMACOLOR COL-ERASE CARMINE PENCILS thats wat he using.

[valeagrl1]

this might be a dumb question, but if I was planning to do a painting, would it be right to do this much detail etc. in the sketch before painting? It's kind of seems a shame to do so much work & then start putting acrylic paint on top of it.

[amo1000]

no, for paintings, all u really need is a rough outline/sketch of your subject matter

[valeagrl1]

thanks...

[valeagrl1]

Which Alfons Mucha book do u recommend? Is it the one (Hardcover) by Agnes Husslein-Arco ?

[valeagrl1]

Why does it look like you're using a black pencil crayon instead of a pencil? What kind of pencil is that?

[charrr100]

what gradient pencil are you using?

[charrr100]

what gradient pencil are you using i would really like to try this out myself and a pencil like that would helo.

thanks,

[hunip1]

[Phantrax]

Matt, thank you so much for mentioning Mucha. I've been trying to find out who made those artworks and now I know who did. Thank you!

[ShadowLord3220]

Its great and your comments help to understand what is going on. Thanx!

[Papiprah]

This is not good, we can only learn if you are doing a good job by comparing your drawing to the picture. Thanks God I know how to make portraits, otherwise I wouldn't learn a thing from you.

Zlatko

[vernonsalyers]

[gleelash]

Alfons Mucha is one of my favourites.His work remains unmatched for the time and place he shined.His line is amazind, I advise you to check him out.

[willadio]

one thing about the face that is the most difficult for me is the eyebrows. getting the the right height above the eyes and the shading. But you pulled it off. Great work

[feohtje]

I think its nice, but thats just it

[narcovice]

[tanksta15]

[soviet86]

do you ever draw portraits without reference from your head?

[matthew39arch]

Yes

[chanekazo]

excelet!... awesome skills!

[Prince1of1Clownamia]

1:40 that eraser is shaped like a pointy penis

[soviet86]

O.o k...

[Zurrian]

The correct spelling of the artist matt mentioned = Alphonse Maria Mucha an incredible artist

[Enterthehaven]

Portraits Rule!:)

keep it up!and thanks for the post!feel free to check out my fantasy artwork as well as my potriats!feel free to comment!

Rock on!

[andrewjireh]

Hiya I love ur work!

Do u sometimes scale the portrait to get the face in proportion?

I put little boxes across the image im drawing and copy it on a page.

Do u think its more effective?

[JamesSaysSup]

his hand never touches the paper.. when I draw i rest my hand on it.. probably not the best thing to do

[djxf006]

I'm doing portraits right now...it's a hard concept but this is beautiful

[BaiiLeys]

daaaamn look at this??!!!! looks so great! wow!!! respect!!!!!

[Fruitsexual]

Hey, by any chance, is the model in the photo named Egnosio? [I don't think I spelled it correctly but it sounds like that]

[matthew39arch]

Yes he is the one and only Ignacio

[Fruitsexual]

I was pretty positive since he has rather distinctive features, but I figured to ask just to make sure.

He's such a great model =)

[duder215]

what was the name of the book?

[matthew39arch]

Just the artist name "Mucha"

[DJSHADDY2K7]

Hi am new and I like you technigues you teach in you video so o can i get them?

[matthew39arch]

you can purchase them on my website, mattsillustrationdotcom

[BlackFalcon93]

Hey! since other youngsters like me were asking some questions I thought I might do the same ;).

I wanted to know if I can get your DVD's eventhough I live in Germany, or maybe some other books. I still can't find any good books or else here =(

[matthew39arch]

Yes I had someone order a DVD from Germany two weeks ago. Just visit my site and pay via credit card or mail me a certified bank check. I will then mail out the DVD's

[Pattates1235]

Mate same for me it says i cant buy it because i live in Canada?! thats a joke right!

[matthew39arch]

OMG?

[wassagoinon]

omg= oh my god What are you using at 1:40

[duder215]

he used a kneaded eraser =D

like an eraser but cooler!

beacuse you can play with it and make it into any shape.

and it doesnt leave trash

[matthew39arch]

Both, some of the techniques are very basic. I teach beginners and advanced students the same techniques. It's all relevant.

If you email me at my private email address I can provide you with a discount code if you decide to purchase a DVD. I would start with the figure drawing one. Go to the contact page of my site to find my email address. I can't give it out here.

[matthew39arch]

Hi Nate,

I've drawn my entire life. I always new I wanted to become an artist, nothing else even entered my mind. Visit my site and perhaps you can get some ideas for yourself. I have a lot of young students who are awesome, nowadays you have to start going the extra mile early, get some books or dvd's and keep practicing.

[shapron]

Hey Matt just wanted to post a comment on your video's trying to stay in that drawing mode. Its great that you are using Youtube = ), Btw its manny from your Animation class ! Iam showing this too all my freinds so hopfully they will look up your dvd's see ya sometime in the future!

[hiimnobody]

who is your favorite artist again?

[matthew39arch]

Mucha

[squirrel568]

Hey, you can probably guess who this. I'm so glad i can now get a simulated drawing class going over the summer. Watching your vids actually made me remember how much I missed those drawing classes, its a shame I won't have you next year. But I have been drawing steadily over the summer, I'm almost through my first sketchbook of the summer. Doing one sketch a day and keeping to it. But yeah, very grateful for these videos. keep them coming, these are a great help! :)

[mattGamer]

Great work, Matt. Love the videos! ;]
