To Draw is to Follow the Form. Discovering the Planes of the Face. Open Studio.

Here is a clip from my instructional video focusing on how I build a portrait. Keep in mind the world has multidimensions that we must feel as we draw it on a flat surface. If you are interested in continuing this class, this and more videos are available on my website cesarsantos.com/

[@d.o.nmuzic3802]

Greetings Mr Santos!
Hope you guys are happy and living well on that side of the world. Thanks for the videos!

Hola, Cesar. From a fellow Cuban, you’re an inspiration! Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing your knowledge with us! Un abrazo grande ❤

[@marbakamki8321]

14:08 this is the perfect example that makes u different from other contemporary practitioners and u are truly an Authentic Art pioneer or a real Artist. And i have been following u for more than 4 years for that particular reason personally. M soo glad I discovered u early Sir. Thank You! 🙏🏻

This makes me think about how learning how to apply cross contours is invaluable to get better at shading anything. Beautiful drawing, Cesar!

[@crisalidathomassie1811]

Thanks so much for the explanation when drawing. Many times it is just we don’t pay attention. It is interesting to realize all the changes we go throughout the painting and the importance of following the form. Great video! Blessings and take care.

[@user-nj8ux9fe6i]

جميل 🌹

[@sketchingjohn1678]

If I may ask, was that a graphite or charcoal pencil? This was just a stunning drawing. I draw every day and this one even inspired me to do better. Beautiful!

[@AlejandraRafa]

It looks like a Staedtler Mars Lumograph (graphite) pencil.

[@sarinab1989]

Been wanting to get a Hemingway pencil. Is it worth it or more of a pencil that just feels nice to have? Haha.

[@santocesart]

Both! It's worth having a pen that feels nice. It's good quality. I have the .9mm

[@lzoshan]

My instructor always repeated this since the beginning of making lines in his course.

[@shivambangar3017]

Sir please tell us basic of drawing,art,fine art,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@keycuz]

Draw a dot. Draw a line. Draw a square. Draw a cube. Draw shadow to create light, then realize everybody is in fact made from a rainbow.

[@user-zf3gf9ew2h]

Caesar, it's okay, but where is the anatomy? Without anatomy and perspective, there will be no naturalness.
