I really enjoy your videos, especially the layering ones. I am interested to see you doing a portrait now. Please give me your opinion on my artwork (I attach my last portrait). Thanks!

[CapricornArtist73]

I am no expert on portraits that is for certain and actually i have learnt alot from watching you paint. Nice portrait very sweet indeed!

i have made like 30 portraits and none look as good as this ye maybe art school is what i need i just paint till i like it with no idea but when i paint on it is the best feeliong ever .i have done 5 of jesus and they all are different hey i should cover the bad parts with layers thank you it looks awsome how much will she sell for, i cant wait to see how much my art will ever sell for .i liked this

A good tip to remember when drawing is not look at the drawing as a face but rather look at the shapes and tones, just draw the blocked tones.

thank you great advice i want to spend my money on supplies not classes but to makew art friends i think workshops would be cool .i should do my own workshops maybe i will some time

[CapricornArtist73]

Art school can be great if you want to become a teacher but if u just want to be an artist then i personally wouldn't do it. Art school tends to knock out your own style in favour for technique. It is better to attend art workshops with artists and attend life drawing/painting classes then spend alot on an art education...in saying that i can if u want just my opinion!
