Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.

drawing one person alike is one thing, but replicating the persons face multiple times in the same canvas is mind blowing
Thank you for these videos. They allow me to live again. I can no longer paint or draw - it kills me. Watching you control your brush, add colors, mix colors makes me feel like I’m painting again!!
Your instruction & camera angels are perfect.
Thanks for what you do - it is appreciated.
Why can't you do it anymore?
@@Misanamaybe they have some sort of hand injury
@@amnah1716 I see. I hope they can paint again some day.
0:43 Michael Jordan amazing block in
Somehow you have drawn the portrait in a simple way. For beginners like me, the subject of portrait painting is very difficult. I have also consulted your course, I think I will join in the nearest day.
I listened to another artist who also pointed out that the details are not what gives the likeness ( hence you can recognise your brother/father in one of those old army photos where the face is really just dark blobs where the eyes and mouth are). As you say it's about drawing an accurate outline and placing features in the correct places.
0:51, 2:03, 3:01. I’m really looking forward to the portrait course; I’m growing so much with the original course but my portraits need… fine tuning 😂
MJ @ :45. Leonardo I knew right away from just the drawing, Daniel Craig 3:15. Awesome as always! Love your videos! Thank you for being a great teacher!
This information is solid. It is actually what I found myself doing back in 2020. I was watching many videos trying to find a starting point. Then settled with this YT channel. I even watched some Patreon tutorials. When I was recording myself digital paint, I could go back and see where it started to flop or when I made a breakthrough. It helped me analyze my skills and see what worked and what didn't work. If you can, I'd recommend you record yourself in 720p at least. You'll be able to sit back and say "ok that's where I broke through/flopped" so you know when you get to that point to be aware.
Same. As a crosshatcher, no matter how well I shaded the face it would never make it look more lifelike
You are a great artist and a great teacher.
What I find interesting is your tecnique of painting dark to light! I've learn to paint light to dark .🙂
1:30 for the middle one.. I knew immediately, didn't know why I knew, even after going back and watching you start again. Just the shape of the head, the angle of the brow, and hairline were enough. Crazy!
1:30 for Leo; all I needed was the eyebrow angels and relationship to eyes, but the forehead proportions confirmed my guess. 2:50 for Daniel, actually right when you cut back in with your edit, I recognized the hairline to nose tip, but I had the advantage of having just watched "Our Friends in the North" a few days ago. It is a 90's miniseries which took the characters from their teens to their 50's.. it was really interesting to watch the aging process and observe the changes that made the characters stop looking like themselves. So, I think it is important to start from a photo that represents the most iconic characteristics of a famous person. I really had to look at the side-by-side before my brain clicked into Michael's identity. His smile would have been unmistakable. A more animated expression would have helped me. And a static posture tricked me away from the idea of Michael in motion that is etched in my idea about him.
'Once played a game where we had to guess celebrities just by one feature, just eyes, just nose, just ears, etc. Everyone recognized Paul Newman's eyes because the photo showed his side-glancing twinkle with his iconic crows feet. Actors invest more of their brand into appearance and visual publicity than achievement based celebrities and, for me, that affects my speed of recognizing someone.
Lee Remick told a story of walking down a street with Marilyn Monroe noting how people were not bothering them. Marilyn looked at Lee and said, "Just watch, I am going to be that girl." She changed her posture, her movement, the tension in her muscles and her expression and people instantly flocked around them. Lee said she gained a whole new respect to Marilyn 's acting skills that day.
same - 1:30-1:31 for Leo because you got the angles just right and 2:53 for D. Craig
Recognized Jordan at 0:36. Awesome work man.
I knew from the second I looked at the thumbnail so I can't REALLY tell you when I started to know from you painting because subconsciously I already knew haha.
3min last painting, you are amazing.
Always great tips and techniques. Your "FF demo" condensed along with your commentary a process that I get lost in. Fixing one particular area. Overworking and muddying portiat. Loved watching you Pull the 3D Likenesses out of 2D surface.
Michael Jordan at time 1:00, Leonard DiCaprio at time 2:08, and Daniel Craig at time 3:16. You are amazing.
1:00 - Michael Jordan (I've always had trouble with dark faces. I couldn't even guess it was him until you put down the light reflection on his lip.)
1:43 - Leonardo DeCaprio (I jumped to him at 1:29 because of the forehead, but I wasn't sure until 1:43)
2:52 - Daniel Craig (He has very distinctive curves and angles about the nose, eyes and forehead.)
MJ @ 50, LD@1:51 and DC @ 3:12. Thanks for this informative video.
Loved the True God thumbnail compilation
Interestingly, I got Leo right when he first appeared. I think it might be that hairline combined with the eyeline and shape of the chin/jaw. Is that a common photo of him maybe?
But, Craig I didn't get until you were finished at the very end.
i like your portraits so much
Hello, 1.44 for Leonardo and 3.10 for Daniel. Thank you for all your videos which are a great help to me. they are efficient, concise, easy to follow and give an incentive to paint.
Great loved the details!!!
I learned lots today, thank you.
He is, thanks so much for this specific video tips and demo. Portrait is a very challenging subject but with patience and observation the outcome will be good. I use the proportional divider for drawing and it is a great tool. I had an instructor that encourages to tracing when painting portraits. What are your thoughts about tracing? What about an underpainting? I need to watch this video again and get the most of it. I truly appreciate your videos and passing along what helps you when painting a portrait. Very educational along with great inspiration. As always, I wish you the best and much success un your career. Blessings and take care.
0:49 MJ, 2:32 Leon, 3:18 Daniel. I think the subject can affect likeness to - I painted Groucho Marx and it's pretty hard to not look like him as long as I put that big mustache in. By comparison, Paul McCartney was a lot harder - I think his face lacks a distinctive feature.
Ok, no joke. Might be because I have had a crush on Leo since I was 9 and he played in the Titanic, but I knew it was him from the outline at 1:31.. lol Too bad I'm too old for him now...
MJ @0:51, Leo @1:47, Putin @ 2:59 before Craig @3:02. Awesome
0:42, 1:42, 2:56
crazy how early on in the process you can recognize the people
:42 MJ, 2:12 LDC, 3:08 for DC. Nice. Hope to try a portrait soon... though I'm enjoying the food still lifes.
Wow for the 2nd portrait I knew at 1 second!
Fantastic!
One part of photorealism is all about becoming an expert at spot the difference. Comparing everything from colours, values, proportions, shapes etc - all of the different elements that go to create the whole painting, or the "gestalt".
oh thank you 🌼 that was so helpful
I find that turning the music down low and watching talent in action is as therapeutic as a meditation session.
I did not know the person but it is very easy to see how accurate you are with the outlines and in a way I think that the outlines can be enough if it is a person you know well and then it was very interesting to see the way you place the eye brows/eyes and the mouth - very observing, very accurate very defining brushstrokes. 🎶🌷🎵🙏
For a while now, I had the idea to do an experiment with family members where I see how little I could draw of them before they could recognize who it was. My hypothesis (I'm a research scientist. So I can use that word...😆) was that they would be able to recognize who was who from the initial placement of marks for where the facial features are located. I don't think there needs to be any value or anything. My hypothesis stems from how...or at least how I understand...facial recognition to work, which is from measuring the mathematical distance of and between features of the face. I think those are pretty constant. Think of when you see images of people through their lives. You have no problem recognizing your grandfather when he was 30 years old versus when he is 80, even though you never saw him at 30! The smoothness of the skin doesn't confuse you. Weight gain or loss doesn't confuse you. The different hairstyles don't confuse you. Even facial hair, or not, doesn't confuse you. You can still recognize them. I really believe it's our minds' ability to recognize the placement a d distance between facial features that provides that recognition. Case in point...and a long story short...I identified my biological father about a year ago. He passed away 10 years ago, which stinks, but all is well. I'm building healthy relationships with my new siblings, and it's great. However, along the way, I realized that growing up, I had actually met my grandmother a few times when I was younger. When I found my family, they showed me pictures of him and his parents and siblings, of course. I immediately recognized his mom, my grandmother, as the lady that would visit a friend of my mom's...even when they were pictures of her at different stages of her life. Of course, my hypothesis could be incorrect, but that's how science works...🤷♂️
I've often heard it said that it's the eyes that make a likeness, but DiCaprio and Craig were instantly identifiable because of their distinctive hairstyles.
Perfect !
I don't know who the first or third persons are, but the second I spotted really early on, like around 1:43, that is amazing!
0:54 , 2:05 , 2:59 .
Very helpful video!
Thank you ❤️😊❤️😊!!
Amazing 😍💯❤
I learn more techniques thank you
I don't know the first person, but you have a brilliant likeness. I got DiCaprio @1:53, and Daniel Craig at 2:53.
Leo and Bond i knew right away
Hi Chris, thank you so much for these videos. I've learned a lot from them. I was wondering: could you maybe do a video on the role of the background in portraits and still lifes? Sometimes I have a reference photo that I find interesting to paint, but the background in it is too messy or perhaps uninteresting. How do you pick a background (color) that brings out the subject best without disregarding the effect of the original background and its reflected light?
Didn’t know first person, agree re points for 2nd and 3rd!
Jordan as soon as your first layer of colour went in, di caprio as soon as you'd done the mouth and, daniel craig as soon as you had put a lighter tone in
MJ 53 143 or LdC 309 DC Just brilliant Chris!
1:38 Leo, 3:00 James Bond dude
Thanks again
Wow
0:46 , 1:44 , 2:56. REALLY INTERESTING HOW FAST I GOT THERE. YOu did a great job
0:46 , 1:43, 2:57 but actually it was instantly from the thumbnail, that showed similar stages of the painting
1:35 leonardo Dicaprio. One of the clients my company used to work with gave me tickets to see the Bulls during one of the championship years. They were awesome. I love Micheal Jordan.
0:51 michael jordan, 1:51 leonardo dicaprio, 3:02 daniel craig
0:43 / 11:29 Michael, 1:55 / 11:29 Leonard and 3:07 / 11:29 for Daniel. Good job!!
40 seconds Michael Jordan, 1:40 Leonardo DiCaprio, 2:58 Daniel Craig. Great lesson!
Recognized them at 2:17 and 2:57. Didn't know the first guy well enough to figure that one out.
MJ 0:39
Leo 1:54
Daniel 3:09
Funny Leonardo at 1:44, barely to see but must be the shading of e brown and form of face, Craig at 3:08 i think the ear did it
110, I went from my initial guess of Vin Diesel to Lawrence Fishburne to MJ in the end at 110ish
1:46 for Leonardo!
Michael Jordan at 0:44- leonardo Dicaprio 1:42- Daniel Craig 3:12 . thank you for all you share it is a tresor !
0:37 1:38 2:57 are the times I figured out the people-as time wnt on I just became more confident
1:46 leo, 2:59 daniel
1:32 For Leonardo
1:11 Michael Jordan. Renaldo DiCaprio from the beginning I took a rough guess from the shape of his head but I became sure at 1:44
Daniel Craig 2:55
I think it took me longer to recognize Michael Jordan because I don't watch sports.
The moment you put the ears on MJ I knew 😂
45 seconds in for MJ, 1:45 for Leonardo
Also what's the difference of paint thinner n medium? I thought medium did thin out the paint
0:41 for Michael, 2:17 for Leo and 3:01 for daniel
Could you link the planar head that you use please?
1:51 for DiCaprio. I didn't know the first one though!
0.43 for MJ 1.46 for Leonardo
Paint coach please give me an idea how the easiest way to make painting of multiple dynamic figure on canvas thank , watching you always in Samar , Philippines.
MJ :42 Leo 2:14 DC 3:02 craigs forhead and nose were very prominent. mj was hard to puck up until u added the hightlights for me
1. 0:51 MJ. 2 1:51 Ld C. 3. 3:11 Our agent 007
Hey does anyone can help me? I've ruined several brushes since last year and i want to understand what's wrong. It seems like the external hair are cut. Is it for the pressure that I apply on the surface? Or the turpentine?
0:43 Michael Jordan my guess. Leo DiCaprio almost instantly guess 1:32. 3:06 Daniel Craig.
40 sec: Michael Jordan | 1:45: Leonardo Di Caprio | 3:16: Daniel Craig |
D caprio 1.58 Daniel Craig 3.13 , very good idea
Woww. Innocent looking bond. *
New it was Michael Jordan at 0:46 // New it was Leonardo D C at 1:57 because of head shape and hair // New it was James Bond at 2:59 ..anyway great tut!
1:02 for MJ
Since I am a leo fan I knew by 1:35 who it was lol.
Please do a painting of Napoleon Bonaparte?
I was surprised at how far just a hairline and jawline goes toward a likeness.
3:10 David Craig? I'm really name blind but one of the most recent Bond actors
3:00 Bond
2:05 loenardo decaprio
1. (M. Jordon) at 54 secs, 2. (L. Dicaprio) at 2.04 and 3. (D.Craig) 3.10.
1:07 Michael Jordan
1:47 Leonardo DiCaprio
2:59 Daniel Craig
I hope it helps. :3
Really interesting to see how early on you can indeed already see, and what really makes it click. Shape of the face, the hairline, etc. Definitely a good take away to start focusing on the shapes of the face way more than the details of the features.
I tested it with my fiancee, he spotted them even sooner. Our times: 0:55 / 1:09, 1:34 / 1:55 and at 2:55 / 3:09
hey man Just a curiosity are you doing you tube a full time job 🤨
1:31 Burt Reynolds
1:33 Leonardo di Caprio
2 portrait-2:07
Is this oil paint?
