What a phenomenal teacher you are! I have taken classes with some of the "finest" teachers & not learned half as much as I've learned from your videos. Awesome.

world does not revolve around you. Video is not supposed to make you laugh or whatsoever. Don't like it don't watch it, clear enough for you?

@TheStef263 There are basic techniques that you must follow if you want to learn to draw. Keeping your eye on the reference is something every artist does. As much as I love Spongebob and that episode, it has nothing to do with what I said. Anyways, there is no need for me to chill.

@LuneyTune72 Chill bro. I thought art had no real set technique, you should probably watch an episode of spongebob squarepants 'artist unknown' It might teach you a thing or two.

I have to say that these videos are very bad techniques for portraiture and they teach you nothing about hand-eye coordination (which is what art is all about.) You learn absolutely nothing by gridding a photo. Art is not this cheap and easy, it takes years of practice. That said, art is very fun and gridding is not. If you want to be an artist then learn to relax your hand and keep your eyes on the reference 95% of the time.

i love the grid idea,but a lightbox with the grid under the pic would work really good.the more u practice the less u may need the grid.nice tips though.

@allie717723 there is a set you can get at most art & crafts stores or online " pigma sensi" anime set, it has really nice blacks for inking and it comes with a mechanical pencil that is great,it's like 19.99 for the set but i've been using the same set for like 3 months now and they're still fine...well hope this helps

when i copy a refrence image i use tracing paper to get the parts i need and then use carbon paper with it to transfer the start of the drawing.

[aidenkhery1002]

very very nice work. thanks for the amazing totorial but if the real photo is small and you want to make it bigger how will i do?

Grid is a terrible habit to have. I absolutely agree.
