Você é muito fera , parabéns
😊😊😊😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who tought you to draw with this style.. I thought I was the only one who used this style to draw.
Great portrait. But I didn't get the method. It seems like you drew a circle, flattened 2 sides, added 2 circles for eyes - Then drew a perfect portrait over it.
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you liked the portrait. The method used might seem a bit challenging to grasp at first, but it involves starting with simple shapes as a foundation and gradually refining the details to create a realistic portrait. Practice and repetition can help you better understand and master this technique. If you have any specific questions or need more clarification on any part of the process, feel free to ask. Happy drawing and keep honing your skills! 😊🎨
This comment is from my second channel, don't forget to follow me there❤❤
I thibk thats the method 🤷♂️
This is not a great video BUT, what He is doing is finding the placement of the features. How they relate. Once this is done it looks like he just drew a perfect portrait.
Also, a footnote, portraits that are perfect are boring and say nothing about the artist or the sitter. The objective of all Art is NOT perfection but interpretation and enhancing. He is just copying a photo adding nothing to the final image. Either about himself of her.
Second footnote: Bridgman’s techniques was aimed primarily at drawing quickly for advertising. He was a illustrator for ad agencies.
The client would tell him what they wanted and he would draws scetches …on the spot for them. They had to be perfect.
But is isn’t what art is. Art is adaption, invention, interpretation…. Not perfection.
I disagree- I think it is a great video and maybe you just weren’t paying attention. The original “circles and lines” define the shapes/size, placement and then you can draw and shade and create a “perfect portrait”…. It’s the Loomis Method crystallized….great job.
Thank you for your excellent demonstration. I still need to develop my observational skill. My hand wants to get ahead of my eye. The result is drawing what I think the shape should be, rather than the actual shape. Practice, practice, practice - the key is concentration. It’s easily said, but sometimes, so damn hard!
The overlay on the subject is so much more illuminating than just someone describing what they are doing. Thank you.
I'm delighted to hear that you find the overlay on the subject helpful! Visual aids like overlays can indeed provide a clearer understanding of the techniques being demonstrated. It's my pleasure to assist you in a way that enhances your learning experience. If you have any more feedback, questions, or if there's a specific topic you'd like to explore further, feel free to let me know. Keep up the great work with your art journey! 🎨
Nice job. - At first, Andrew Loomis was not a very good art student. He was told by his teachers at the American Academy of Art to give up and try something else.
But he persevered. By staying with it and working hard, he improved dramatically. He became a successful artist, teacher and author. Loomis is an inspiration for all. 11:07
Thank you for sharing this inspiring story. It's a great reminder of the importance of perseverance and hard work in achieving success. 💪🎨
Wow, look at that. From being told to try something else, to having his own method. No matter what, we just need to keep pushing. Thank you and blessings to you & everyone continuing on their art journey🙏🏾
LIES
Wow. Wasn't aware of this fact. Awesome perseverance. ❤
@@onepenciltutorial - It's also a great reminder that the critics and experts aren't always correct.
I’m convinced that artists that can draw or paint realistically have a special part of their brains activated. A true gift. I could always draw well up to a certain age while a teen and then could never get any better even with a lot of trying. My mind’s eye limited
It's interesting to hear your perspective! Realistic drawing and painting do indeed involve a combination of skills, practice, and a unique way of perceiving the visual world. While some individuals seem to have a natural inclination, it's important to remember that artistic abilities can also be developed through persistent practice and learning. It's not uncommon for people's creative journey to have periods of progress and plateaus.
If you're interested in improving your skills, don't be discouraged by past experiences. Many factors can contribute to artistic growth, such as exploring new techniques, experimenting with different mediums, and seeking guidance from experienced artists or resources. Remember, each artist's journey is unique, and every step forward, no matter how small, contributes to your overall artistic development. Keep your passion alive and keep creating! 🎨😊
then activate these parts of the brain, it's not something that isn't there, you just haven't found the path
I highly encourage you to look into "Drawing on the right side of the brain" by Betty Edwards! I used to have that same mentality and this book helped me tremendously. I obviously still have much to improve, but this book is a fantastic tool you can always revisit, no matter your level. Keep creating!
from what i notice, you want to start with basic things to get to advanced places. start by drawing objects around your house - before you start drawing, draw the most basic shape in the object first. figure out if its a square, a circle, or a triangle, and fit it to perspective. then draw any other shapes that define the objects' form, and connect them.
Thats what seems to be done here.
I used to think sketching was impossible until i learned that the secret of it boils down to basic shapes you find in everything
Incredible portrait. I really like that you included the lines of the subject on top of the image. It made me understand the method a lot more. It also helped me see the shapes more too.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you found the portrait incredible and that the inclusion of the subject's lines on top of the image was helpful for your understanding🎨😊
Best tips for me from my own favourite art teacher: Draw what you see, not what you THINK you see. There is always a highlight with a shade. Spend more time looking at the subject than your page. 🤗
Your art teacher has provided some fantastic tips! Here's a breakdown of their advice:
Draw What You See: This is a fundamental principle in art. Instead of relying on your preconceived notions, focus on observing the actual shapes, lines, and values present in your subject. This helps you create a more accurate representation.
Highlight and Shade: Understanding light and shadow is crucial. Every object has highlights where light hits it directly and shades where light is blocked. This interplay creates depth and form in your artwork.
Observe More, Draw Less: Dedicate ample time to studying your subject. The more you observe and analyze, the better you'll understand its intricacies and be able to depict them in your drawing.
These tips are valuable for artists at all levels. Keep them in mind as you practice and create, and don't hesitate to experiment and explore your own unique artistic style! 🎨🤗
One exercise we did sometimes was drawing the picture upside down. Never really came out as good but it made you pay more attention to details and stuff the next time you drew something normally.
This has been VERY helpful. Especially on faces that don’t have a strong cast shadows. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for drawing this picture so slowly so it can seep into my mind as to what you are doing. The music is very calming. Thank you for taking your time in this video.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you appreciate the pace of the video and the calming music. Taking time to explain and demonstrate the process slowly can really help viewers understand the techniques and concepts better. If you have any questions or if there's anything specific you'd like to learn more about, feel free to ask. Your feedback is valuable, and I'm here to assist you on your artistic journey!
I just can’t get the hang of this method. You make it look so doable. I need to practice more I think.
Thank u ♥️
Don't EVER stop practicing, it's the one secret to success.
This is an ineffective method for those who want to make a likeness portrait. The only, true, valid method is that of the academies where they teach you to take measurements with an outstretched arm. All other methods are beginner stuff that will get you nowhere. czcams.com/video/y6D0UIkcO3E/video.html
Anch'io non ho compreso il perché del ( cerchio a sinistra dell'orecchio della ragazza che non si vede ! )
A BUS LOAD OF PRACTICE!!.. even after you get it, keep practicing lol.. the only way!!
It’s A Ridiculous Tutorial - Best Lose the TERRIBLE music … And Add a level of Narration 💣😝
i love the patience in this, slowly crafting the perfect end result
I enjoy watching different artists drawing styles. Everyone unique. Once I went to a Picasso portraiture exhibit at the MoMA. I expected to see Head of Woman #11 and such. When I entered, the first panel was one small pencil sketch of his first young wife. It stopped me short. I've never seen anything like it before or since. Every line was thoughtfully placed with a touch and grace that's unparalleled. If there was any lingering question about his exceptional gift, it was laid to rest right there in that little pencil sketch. The rest of the exhibit was outstanding too, with biographical waves of his relationships with the women in his life. Each wife starts with a beautiful painting and ends in twisted agony, except for his daughter, which was always beautiful.
We are honored to always be at your service
Sick! A actual real artist with a real skill set! Wonderful!!
I took drawing in college as an elective over forty years ago. This reminded me of what I learned back then. Now you have me thinking about sketching again. You did a great job and it was fun watching.
Thank you very much for the kind comment! I am very happy that my work reminded you of what you learned in the elective drawing classes you took in college over forty years ago. I believe that drawing is a valuable skill for everyone, regardless of age or experience. It is a great way to express yourself and your creativity, and it can also be a great way to relax and clear your mind.
Keep up the very good work! I have never tried this method , hope to learn it one day. Thank you so much
Thank you! I'm studying how to learn to do portrait and this video has helped me a lot with the guided lines.
Simply beautiful to see how it all came together.
The initial guidelines of dividng the face into 1/3rds is very important.
Awesome job thanks for shearing
i am blown away, never did i think i could pick up a pencil and on my firsta ttempt at drawing a portrait actually get so close to something that resembles and actual human. i will do all your tutorials and maybe one day have the confidence to branch out to my own reference photos! you've taken a burned out doctor and given her a healing outlet
You have a way with words ❤️
Wish you good luck!
You messed up in the initial construction. Focus more on lining things up to begin with. Her eyes arent, and it made her checks and subsequently jaw out of line. Making your drawing warp from top to bottom along the otherwise straight lines in the photo
I respect your point of view. But each of us has his own way in what he sees, and I promise you that I will take your opinion into consideration
So talented, the technique is just a detail. Thanks!
I think the most difficult concept in portrait drawing is getting proportions correct. Thank you. This was telling on how to help me start portraiture.
You're absolutely right! Getting the proportions correct is indeed one of the most challenging aspects of portrait drawing. It's a crucial foundation for achieving a likeness and creating a realistic representation. I'm glad to hear that the information provided has been helpful in guiding you through the process of starting portraiture🎨😊
fascinating watching you making the "mathematical calculations" as you draw....thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this amazing tutorial. It is really precious! thank you!!!
😊 You're welcome! I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful. I hope you continue to enjoy my tutorials.
Brilliant. Great tutorials without a word spoken.
💞
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad that you found the tutorials helpful.
Resim eğitimi alan kişiler,tüm bu hesaplamaları bilirler.Lisedeyken hocamız bu teknikleri öğretmişti ve bu hesaplamalar tüm vücut için de geçerli.Aynı şekilde perspektif hesaplamaları da peyzaj çalışmaları için mutlaka gerekli,yine de eğitim almayanlar için çok faydalı bir video olmuş,teşekkürler 🌺
Absolutely amazing video...very helpful....so accurate!
Amazing thank you for so much peace watching such talent.❤
💞
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad that I could provide some peace and enjoyment for you.
For those in the comments who say they can't do this, consider this: We ALL possess an incredibly sensitive ability to recognize the most subtle of facial features. It's how we distinguish one individual from a million others. If we didn't, millions of people would appear identical, right? So, you DO have this skill. Additionally, each of us can sign our names uniquely. If this weren't the case, all our signatures would look identical, right? So again, you DO possess this ability.
You might have convinced yourself otherwise. However, if you can recognize people and sign your name, you can certainly draw as impressively as the artist did in the video.
What artists need is knowledge in the form of techniques aligned with their interests-perhaps a method similar to the one shown in the video or something entirely different. Learning a card game might seem daunting until we familiarize ourselves with the rules. Search for techniques that resonate with your learning style and practice them. What you're missing is the practice of knowledge. Techniques represent this knowledge.
It's a journey that demands effort and time both to uncover the answers and to practice techniques. Continue experimenting with various techniques until you identify the ones you prefer. If you genuinely want to, you'll excel. I promise.
And if you decide it's not for you, that's okay. Maybe as you've aged, your interests have evolved, and dedicating time to this no longer appeals to you. That's entirely fine. There's only so much time in a week. However, don't beat yourself up and try to assert that you're incapable.
If you can recognize a passerby on the street, sign your own name, and are willing to invest time and effort to learn and practice, then you certainly can achieve proficiency, just like the artist in the video. Just understand that this artist has probably put in thousands of hours. Nobody is saying it's easy. But it's doable!
I am almost 60 years old. I started drawing 1 1/2 years ago, and you are 100% correct! I have tried colored pencils, pastel pencils, pastels sticks, and finally graphite. I have fallen in love with graphite, unlike the others. I felt like giving up until graphite, but I knew I should persevere, and here I am loving it and drawing so much better because I found what I love. I just love seeing the different tones in a drawing, especially the darkest darks, so I’m going to try my hand at charcoal, too. Thank you for the encouragement. Best comment on CZcams I’ve seen in a long, long time!
So pleased you took the time to write this. Thank you.
To a non artist this is fascinating. I can see from this what a massive amount of patience one needs and intense concentration coupled with a deep experience of how to form the geometric shapes in two dimensions and create the illusion of 3D. I think you need to be brought up with visual talents being encouraged more than auditory talents which is why some can become excellent artists or when they have the other talent, become brilliant musicians. There is definitely nurture and nature in equal measures going on.
Great work and also I love the piano music in the background. Very tranquil.
Excellent 👌
Magnifico resultado el que haces me encanto!!!!❤
I’m an amateur Artist and work on portraiture. Your video was an inspiration.👍

Artist are known to be visual learners and this type of teaching how to draw portraits are what I'm looking for long. There are many artist who teach portrait but verbal only but you made it better mate with this one
I suggest using the tried and true old grid method. More accurate and less basic skill required.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the process and found the beginning to be helpful! Achieving a strong resemblance can indeed be challenging, but with practice and patience, it's something that can improve over time. Remember, art is a journey of continuous learning and growth.🎨❤️
Just crazy good .....

Always back(ing) to drawing board! Good job!
I'm glad you appreciate my work. I do my best to be helpful and informative.
I just realized that the circles on either side of the head are the indents in a skull. I’ve been drawing all wrong and centering the ears inside of the circles. Thank you for this.
This is pure talent
I'm am so glad you are able to do that 😊
thanks a lot 🌺🌺

Damn u r so amazing i am still getting over the 1st step
Thank you very much
Its a great exercise in geometry, expecially the placement of features or points of intrest, the humam body has certain mathamatic rules, even here it was only a visual simple measure using the pencil, the geometry is stil present through familiarity. I liked it.
