Not to come at you, but if tracing is involved in your paintings then it’s not authentic portrait work. Capturing someone in the sketch is the hard part. I don’t know any illustrators or artists that openly trace, especially a portrait!
Of course the optimum would be to not be tied to reference pictures at all and draw purely from live and imagination. But mastering that takes like a decade of daily exersices and training.
its a photo app - turn any photo into a pencil outline there are lots to choose from I use one specifically for a mac book called Photosketcher it was a tiny fee but I have had it years.
@@MazArtStudio I have that app also on my Mac, totally forgot about it. Just tried it with a photo of my dad and very happy with the outcome! I don’t like to draw, I just want to paint ☺️☺️ thanks so much for your answer!!
not in my opinion it doesn't. As a teacher I can assure you even with the image traced out it can still go wrong - I like to simplify things. By all means lean to draw but even if you can't or dont want to learn then dont let it put you off learning to paint or enjoying painting.

I like the additional suggestion of wiping down the charcoal rubbing to rid it of "dust" and using a sharpened pencil rather than a red pen. Thanks!

Is it a charcoal pencil and what are you spraying on the canvas in the end
A pencil fixative
is it ok to spray pencil fixative when you are using acrylic paint? thanks in advance for answering..
Awesome
Thanks
Hiii mam I need to learn more about print

Love all your videos! I’m curious, what did you do to the photo that you transfer? Is it a Photoshop filter?

Does the oilpaint stick on the canvas after spraying the fixative at last like you did
I use this technique (I am a MazArt student) and it does stick with no problems.
@@jackieh.8453 thankyou
Yes it does as Jackie has explained. Keep it sprayed lightly.
This doesn't mean I'm cheating right? 😭

@@MazArtStudio thank youu, this cleared my doubts
