"Just kinda roughing it in real quick," he says, demonstrating how superior his skill is to mine. Haha, but this was nice, really. Helpful, and not overly-explained.
interesting points ,if anyone else is searching for easy ways to draw portraits try Loctavan Amazing Drawing Strategy (just google it ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
Once again, sketching a face in under 2 minutes that is 90% accurate. Most people only dream of that in their sleep. Once again, awesome drawing skills man! Keep on with the videos!
I feel like there are random people who go from perfect art videos to videos just pressing the dislike button because there jealous. Seriously, how can you dislike a video like this?
I recently saw a tutorial that instructs on how to get eyes alike. First you draw some parallel lines to make sure the shape and size are right. You can find the tutorial here on you tube. Search for drawing two eyes alike. I love youtube. You can learn so much. This tutorial very nice.
This is impressive. I study at a fine art academy and we are taught to go from big to small. This means you plot out the overall shape of the head, add in shadows then work your way down to details. Your method is excellent and seems much faster. Good job.
I consider myself a good portrait artist but always struggle mapping out the face. The shading/detail not a problem, how you guys can do this freehand is unbelievable. I have to grid out the face and measure the distances of the eyes, mouth ears etc so painstakingly slow. And even then doesn't always work
The head is such a difficult thing to draw, and shading it is extremely difficult, at least for me. If you're doing portraits, have you consider just tracing it? I did some portraits before and I find that people don't really care how you did it. They just want to see your techniques and your expression on the drawing.
WeiWorks I brought some tracing paper yesterday, simply traced the outline and features then taped it to the drawing paper. Then roughly drawing the outline whilst checking every now and again to see if it lines up. Pretty affective and has saved me a couple of hrs! Once the features are complete I simply start the detail, and just use the tracing paper as a reference guide. Thanks again Wei!
You’re TALENT. I have found myself getting better but go through so many botched drawings to get to one I’m proud of. Shading scares me because I usually mess it up at that point. I just can’t seem to find a rhythm to the lines that doesn’t make it seem like a messy mash up. Drawing on white paper is also harder I find for rendering than toned paper. Keep up the great work 👏🏼
This 16 minute video literally taught me more on shading than my art teacher in 5 days. Not to mention this is the exact reason that i managed to pass my art class so THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR
lol I am very glad with my progress. I am only 11 years old and I have almost gotten the shading down. I am still working on it and my symmetry. I am almost at the level in this example. I just wish I could afford more sophisticated drawing supplies. lol! everyone thinks I have a bright future with my drawing. Also thanks for the vid so many helpful tips :D!
Makinzie Hilscher That's great. You can always post it on my facebook page "Art of Wei." As for supplies, it's not expensive. All you need is a 2b and a 4b, that should cost you about $2 total=). You can always just use a regular HB pencil from. It just won't be as dark. But don't let a little thing like that deter you from drawing.
Thank you so much for taking time to teach us and help us improve, I have learned more from your videos than I have from my art teacher that has been teaching me for 2 years. I really appreciate it, you are awesome :D
WeiWorks Art school teachers aren't very good either. All they do is give you assignments and critique your work. They never really show you how to do anything. I learned more by watching your soft air brush technique video than any lesson from any professor.
I suppose it depends. But you do learn a lot from other students that are good. The State college that I went to had pretty bad art students, so the environment was not optimal.
Your skill makes this very daunting for a rookie like me, but your instruction makes me want to practice more and more. Thank you. Between yourself and Proko I have gone from someone who couldn't draw a stick figure to...well now I can at least draw a prettier stick figure with a little bit of substance lol. Thank you and keep it coming sir!
Haha, yeah, like a stick figure with boobs? Haha. It is daunting at the beginning, but like everything else, drawing is a process. Practice will build up your basic skills and before you know it, you'll start experimenting and learning at a much greater speed.
I've been watching this video for many times. Just inspired to start in art again. Art is my passion at an early age but landed as a banker. Thanks for your video I'd learned a lot. God Bless.
These videos are still super good! I went from not knowing anything about shading, to having certain things click for me just after hearing your explanations in this video!
I love that you're using staedtler pencils and not some fancy drawing pencil. I also use staedtler. I just bought my 3rd twelve pk of staedtler two days ago.
I do know how to think you. Good job brother. Thanks ooh one more thing people in the Middle East began to watching your videos. So you have people who are watching your videos all over the world.
From my experience the material of paper kinda affects shading. Smooth paper makes coal harder to stick and hence harder to make shade. Of course that's just for me, since I'm new to this. Shading is very, very difficult. Thank you for the video. I'm a fan now.
+Hạnh-Minh Nguyễn Thanks Hanh-Minh. Absolutely, the paper is very important, especially the texture. It's definitely worth it to but more expensive papers, even for just sketching.
saurab dalip Thanks saurab. Some of my earlier videos I have talks about the different types of pencil for drawing. They should answer some of your questions. Thanks.
Im just starting to draw and never drawn a face ever before but im going to have a go and see how i get along its just something I've always wanted to do well im going to do it wish me luck oh and by the way you have a real skill you re sketch although done only to show shading its brill .......
Thus is absolutely excellent, I am new to drawing and I have struggled with knowing what pencils to use or how to shade this has really helped, thank you very much, hopefully one day I'll be as good as you,
I'm glad you still think it's fast, because I slow down a lot when I know the camera is on=). It makes me nervous and I think too much about each stroke. And trying to narrate it at the same time doesn't help either=).
Excellent help, thank you!! I learned sooooooo much. I am by no means an artist, but I love to doodle and always wondered how shading really worked and what to look for. And you took the time to show us to the side the different strokes which seriously helped me out. Ah, thanks!!!
Keep it up, that's a great way of making tutorials, you take things slowly and don't speed up so that we can learn directly from what we see in real time
Really, wow, cool. She's gorgeous. This photo of her was taken from the Pirelli calendar. Great body too=). Haha. Couldn't show that here though. She's a REAL woman.
Very very good job! I'm going to practice my shading now-- I always thought looking at a real life moving person was difficult but I found taking a picture and sketching was soooo much easier! If you haven't already-- would it be possible if you can do a eye tutorial?
WeiWorks LOL - indeed. One word... "Malèna" Italian movie... watch... ;) Stunning. Yet sophisticated and understated. She's the next Mrs dougieladd as long as she learns how to make pies instead of pouting and looking beautiful all the time, that can get a bit boring :) :) Sorry, I think I've lost it now. :)
i extremely agree with you about drawing shouldn't be the exact same as the reference (especially a portrait drawings), it takes away the artistic side of it.
The one thing I struggle with us achieving a likeness. Can you please do a video showing how to get a drawing to look like the person in the photograph?
Awesome! How do you approach of shading with imaginary characters? I presume u observe a lot of other pictures and photos? I have problems with shading characters i draw coz i dont have feedback and cant imagine light source and complexity of face if i am not looking at subject.....
Zox Wolf Thanks Zox. Well, drawing from imagination is very tough. The best thing to do is to have some kind of reference. It could be as simple as getting a quick shot of yourself in your desired pose with some simple lighting. My point is that any kind of reference is better than no reference. When you draw enough from reference, you'll get much better at drawing without reference. That's the way it goes. Don't think that professionals don't use reference. They ALL do. It's a matter of how extensive they use it.
Art of Wei I draw my characters i attend to model in maya. I am constructing these on some proportion laws (especially according to Andrew Loomis and some to Burne Hogarth). I am looking lot of photos, but photo in comparison have more information without accentuated light and shadow, so i need to exaggerate with shading in order to have better definition of form while modeling face. Now thats though for me. You could do a tut of shading front and side drawing head in realistic manner :) Lot of things i saw are not so realistically shaded and its easy to over do it. I wish i could show you my newest male char somehow and hear critique from you. It will be finished soon. Cheers
Try imagining the shape of what you're drawing. Every curve and the depth, try making a 3D image of it in your head (sounds more complex in words than in practice). Then imagine where the light is coming from, drawing an arrow on the paper helps. Then remember that the more perpendicular something is to that arrow, the lighter it will be. Whatever the arrow hits will be very light and everything it misses will be darker and darker depending on just how close it is to the light. Weird explanation my bad.
ohhh that's how you shade lol my professor said exaggeration is good mainly because it actually starts to look realistic after awhile, but yeah thanks for the vid!
Could you make a tutorial on how to shade a picture with only one kind of pencil? I'm an amateur and I find it so complex to draw pictures using so many kinds of pencil.
quang nguyen You can shade with the same pencil, it just won't have as wide of range of values, but the procsse is still the same. Just do the same thing but use one pencil. It's all good.
Actually I personally advise you to use only one kind of pencil as a beginner. At best 2. A normal say 2b or hb and one darker like 6-8b. For really dark areas. If you feel like you have problems putting down the basic shapes with hb pencil, that is hard to erase, try using 3. A 2-4h a hb for general shading and a dark one. . . that is my experience. As a side note, I don't even think its really worth to go into 6-7 pencil drawing, or put down a super wide range of values on a pencil drawing. Unless you are specifically try to practice values. You might as well put effort into painting digital works then.
Thank you so so much for this simple and very helpful video, it has helped me a lot in the shading area of drawing and sketching.... Appreciate big time..
if you make a line for the jaw, i find that it look more realistic if you erase the line and make it pop with shading when in the latter stages of the drawing.
TOTALLY AWESOME, YOU ARE A VERY GOOD INSPIRATION TO PEOPLE LIKE ME, WITH A PASSION FOR DRAWINGS I LOVE YOUR TECHNIQUE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR SKILL WITH US. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
Thank you Victor for watching. It's fun for me too and I learn something new every time I do a video. Putting it in video and words really helps me to analyze what I'm actually doing, instead of instincts=).
Congratulations on your work. There is something you can take after finishing your drawing to keep it? you see when you close your book, the pen is passed to the front page and eventually this becomes clearer if not erasing, maybe a kind of spray? or special varnish for this kind of art? Thank you in advance for your answer. fabby
Must be the bad translation. But if I understand you correctly, you're asking about how I keep my drawings? I generally just pile these up since they're just quick sketches.
Farah Seifeddine For smoother look, use the harder pencil, like and HB, or even a 2H. You'll have to shade a lot lighter and more layers to get the smooth look. It just takes more time.

Him: does the other eye perfectly
Me: Has been erasing that same eye for 20 minutes
Update: I’m actually doing really good on this drawing ✍️
👀 one of her eyes is larger, look again
I like how you begin with the eye and follow angles from there. It’s more helpful than beginning with an oval, subdivided in half, etc.
I cant even draw eyes that looks alike.
I can't even draw eyes that DON'T look alike . :D

I think the same about you gifted shaders! I can map out and get proportions right free hand well. I’m the opposite. I suck at shading.
Your drawing makes her look more beautiful than the photograph. Very helpful.

this guy is awesome..how simply he draws with just normal pencils..sir Wei, you are awesome.
Very good video, my weak spot is shading and highlights. After I draw the face I get stuck on finishing my drawings. Thanks for making this video.
The face is very complicated to shade. Best thing to do is to draw from reference.
2020 and I watched this... my best shading I’ve done

Thank you Victor for watching. It's fun for me too and I learn something new every time I do a video. Putting it in video and words really helps me to analyze what I'm actually doing, instead of instincts=).
Keep creating. Thank you.
Thanks Wei.

CreamyKnight Thanks CreamyKnight.
Wowww!😍
Congratulations on your work. There is something you can take after finishing your drawing to keep it? you see when you close your book, the pen is passed to the front page and eventually this becomes clearer if not erasing, maybe a kind of spray? or special varnish for this kind of art? Thank you in advance for your answer. fabby
Must be the bad translation. But if I understand you correctly, you're asking about how I keep my drawings? I generally just pile these up since they're just quick sketches.
Thank you Sir, I’m learning a lot from your videos.
You are very welcome
Actually i can't draw, but i will try to draw like you

This video really helped me but i just have one question, if you want the shading to become a little more smooth what do you do? great video :)

Farah Seifeddine For smoother look, use the harder pencil, like and HB, or even a 2H. You'll have to shade a lot lighter and more layers to get the smooth look. It just takes more time.
