Great piece and under pressure too…I use all the methods you speak of however, it’s down to the skill and talent of the artist to bring the image to life/realism and Carly you have years of talent wether self taught or otherwise. I get so inspired from the art community here on YT that there really is no reason we all can’t achieve the success we all are working towards. Gaining valuable insight and experience from other artists past and present is a gift to us all, Thank you Carly for sharing your talents and knowledge.❤👴🏻

Your art is superb, your vidões are amazing but this boring out of tune song prevent us to keep watching you. What a misersble voice, miserable “music”, so ugly , so tacky and out of tune. Have got listen problems?

I never trace, never have, never will, I don't even use a grid. I resent people getting the same result by tracing, especially if they hide it. Hiding it is definitely cheating. The people who aren't artists who call it cheating, are the customers, they feel cheated, it takes away some of the value of the art work and I don't care if it was davinci or anyone else. I now have to highlight on my profiles that I don't trace because people assume I do with all the cheating going on. Sorry if anyone doesn't like my opinion but I have worked hard to draw as well as I hope I do.

Love your videos. They are inspiring. Makes me want to pick up a pencil and start sketching.

Painting under pressure can make you stronger 💪 😊it gives you more confidence in what you and your imagination want😊❤.you're already talented. You have the talent that most want to be artists can only dream off❤❤❤❤❤😊.you live the life already stay strong 💪 my Australian beauty. Under pressure only makes you stronger and more confident.rember it's what you and your imagination want,in your own mind,not someone else.keep up the talented work at such a young age you are so talented.

sure it is nice...but takes a bit of life out of image as it is so controlled. I feel it is good as an aid...but then it should be more expressive. you can tell

Lukisanmu cantik dan penuh inspirasi 🌹.

Thank you for all the great advice and congratulations on your sale.

i needed to hear this thank you so much 😃

Gorgeous work as always, Carly! Congratulations on the recent sale. Thanks for the inspirational words as well💕

Excellent work!!! I’m looking to do some larger pieces, can you tell me a the canvas you use?

Inspiring! Yes I agree. Getting the initial contour lines in place is so important. For me, using the tracing method, helps me get past the procastination of moving forward.

Bella y talentosa.

You are amazing girl!!! will you let us know how you did at the competition..... I am very surprised that you feel you can not work under pressure- but I do understand the concept. How did you come back to the work when you felt you were losing it. It seems like you are progressing each and every time you decide to do a piece. While i love my leopard, I keep trying to decide which of some of your newer works i like better..... If i had the space and unlimited budget, I would love to think I have the Cary Renee gallery of the usa.... keep up the fabulous work. Look forward to your vids... best from your friend in the states

Top tips- Try drawing on vellum paper(with a grid) then transfer onto canvas. That way you can refer to the drawing. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for another inspirational video. I find your words definitely are close to me, since i love portraits. Once again, sharing the tip with the actual hands on working is a mark of a true artist, instead of dry technique, and what a great art you make!

Regards

Beautiful portrait! great work, did you get it done on time?

Taking classes is the opposite of being self taught.

👋🙂

✨️💖 🎨🖌 🕊 👋🙂🌷

So intelligent ...you really observe da thing really so beautifully and amazingly ....best of luck.

Just 6 days huh?! I can't get it done in just charcoal in 6 days. You're incredibly good! You better realise it. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me. 🌷

La realtà supera l'immaginazione

There is an axiom in photography, from American photographer and musician Ansel Adams: "The negative is the score, the print is the performance." I think that your comments on tracing, the grid method, etc. are the same for painting, and your commentary on losing and then regaining the likeness bear this out. The final image, whether a photograph or a painting, is the product of many manipulations by the artist's hand: the initial sketch, the gray layer, the underpainting-- or how the negative is developed, adding or withholding light (burning and dodging,) during printing, toning, etc. -- all of which contribute to the final picture. To me There really is no such thing as "cheating", although the present state of AI may have changed that. We'll see. I greatly admired and appreciated the time you took detailing how you lost and regained her likeness. I'm sure that was frustrating for you. However you faired in the contest, you're a winner to us! One question though: I noticed that your studio has a power outlet near the top of the wall, almost two meters above the floor. Here in the States our power outlets are near the bottom of the walls and I was just wondering whether yours are on the other end of the wall because everything's upside down Down Under? 😂😂😂 Sorry, couldn't help it...

Just came to say you are very beautiful ❤😘😊

As always. Spectacular.

Magnífica pintura, como todas las que realizas. Muchas gracias 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Your painting turned out beautifully!! I see absolutely nothing wrong with tracing. I agree with what you said though, as long as a person is still honing their observation skills and drawing without tracing then I think both can compliment the process.

Cómo todos tus trabajos,simplemente ! Espectacular !

You are beautiful 🤗🥰

Wait, Michelangelo traced too ?! How ?! By the way, it took me years to come to the conclusion that tracing is NOT cheating. I used to think it was cheating.

Do you use live models sometimes or just generally from pictures of people?

Beautiful artist talent

I hope these tips helped you! Let me know what you’d like to know for my next videos ✨🤍🙏🏼 thank you for being here!

Good luck with the exhibition Carly, can I ask what tablet you use. I use a proportional divider and a basic grid just for a reference point when I'm using the divider.

Excellent piece of art. I like how you went from brown undertone to the final product. Lights and shadows were absolutely perfect in this artwork. I like how you are giving Zorn palette a try. I personally like Zorn palette a lot. Hopefully I can get a breather from work myself to start an artwork but until then just watching your artwork process to ease the stress of my mind. Keep up the good work Carly :D Sky's the limit :D
