Iconography Drawing: How to draw a head correctly

My iconography course painting-the-light.teachable....
In this Byzantine Iconography lesson I explain the basics of the head. The video will help you draw step by step a harmonic head even if you are a complete beginner. It's a request from many student fellows and I do hope you will find it helpful in some way. Please subscribe below as more lessons like this are about to come.

Thank you for making this video. I have been wanting to learn to do this for a long time.

[@PJOMAN]

I am a Roman Catholic, but recently, I found out about icons. I really like iconography, and I've been trying to paint icons and struggled with it. These videos really helped me A LOT. thank you.

[@Shutendoji]

This video came at just the right time, I received the Ukrainian icon boards that I ordered before and I'm ready to begin my work, but I need to practice drawing first. You're so humble with your marvellous work, it's a pleasure to listen to you

[@PaintingtheLight]

Your comments are wonderful

Hello, and thank you very much for your series on Byzantine Iconography. I am from Australia and am seeking to learn how to draw in the Byzantine style. I have been blessed with the opportunity to attend an Iconography course and since then, haven't really been practicing the art. Your videos are a blessing and I am watching them as I sketch :)
May God bless you and your hands, and may you keep producing art that glorifies God.

Hey there !
Thank you for your videos about iconography.
Can you upload a full video from photograph then, drawing to painting.
I just start iconography, I search help

Hi Eric... Thank you.... I might do that at some point....

That's a great idea!! I will do as soon...

[@jinwooksong8332]

Thank you for the good video. I wanted to draw an icon. But I've never drawn a picture. And I can't even make subtitles when I watch the video, so I wonder if it's possible just by watching the video. I saw your homepage. I wonder if it's possible. Please answer my question. And I live in a foreign country and I'd like to ask if you ship the goods abroad.

Are these measurements useful for the man head?

[@juanestebanromeroguzman]

good video, could you recommend a book to learn

[@PaintingtheLight]

There are some great books out there but I have to check them first before recommending any...

[@issaavedra]

Hi, does your course include some kind of pdf with metrics and that stuff? I'm slow to learn, and I'm having trouble following you in a video.

[@Jeduken]

why is the right side drawn larger than the left?

[@Imweird_asf]

When you draw horizontal line doesnt it messing with picture because you have to delete those lines because it will look bad

Γειά σου Αντώνη τα βίντεο είναι εξαιρετικά μήπως ξέρεις που μπορώ να βρω παλιές εικόνες για μελέτη ;Ευχαριστώ

Αντώνη συγχαρητήρια για τη δουλειά σου. Θέλω εδώ και χρόνια να ξεκινήσω. Κατά μέσο όρο καθημερινά πόσος χρόνος απαιτείται για σωστή εξάσκηση και πώς; σχέδιο με βάση το συγκεκριμένο βίντεο ή και ελεύθερο σχέδιο; σ'ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων!

[@PaintingtheLight]

Ευχαριστώ Νεκταριε! Δεν ξέρω πως να απαντήσω την ερώτηση σου...Είναι καλό να το δεις σαν κάτι ευχάριστο και να το κάνεις παίζοντας, παρά σαν κάτι κουραστικό.... Έτσι θα θες μόνος σου να ασχοληθείς κ να περάσεις χρόνο σχεδιάζοντας ή ζωγραφιζοντας. Οτιδήποτε κ αν σχεδιάζεις είναι κέρδος...
Ελπίζω να βοήθησα κ όχι να σε μπέρδεψα.... Ότι άλλο θες ρώτα άνετα!

[@user-xy5zp3eh5k]

@@PaintingtheLight Ευχαριστώ για την σμεση απάντηση. Δεν με μπέρδεψες καθόλου, ίσα ίσα με κατατόπισες. Βλέπω ομοιότητες σε σχέση με τη μαθητεία στη μουσική. Συνέχισε με την ίδια αγσπη και μεταδοτικότητα. Σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Καλημέρα σας, πολύ όμορφα και τα δυο βίντεο σας για το πως ζωγραφίζουμε το πρόσωπο, μπήκα αμέσως στον πειρασμό να προσπαθήσω αλλά όταν έφτασα στη μύτη, ενώ γνώριζα το μήκος της δεν ήξερα ποιο θα έπρεπε να είναι το πλάτος της, θα μπορούσατε σας παρακαλώ να μου το διευκρινίσετε; Ευχαριστώ πολύ

[@PaintingtheLight]

Στο σημείο με τα ρουθούνια, το πλάτος ειναι λίγο μικρότερο από το μήκος του ενός ματιού. Στο περίπου γιατί όπως είπαμε τίποτα δεν είναι γραμμένο στη πέτρα! Χαίρομαι πολύ που μπήκατε σε πειρασμό να αγιογραφησετε με τα βίντεο μου..
