I have basic knowledge on arts but not as fine as this... Clearly people dont agree that it is for beginners... Because they dont listen to how it was made.. its the basic process she is telling for every beginner .. she makes a sketch not for beginners but the process she is explaing is the basic and the most importan thing .. so very much thankful for this tutorial.. it really helps❤..for beginners like just listen for the basic tips how to sketch dont look at it and say its not for beginners
Yes, thank you. I’m glad to hear the video was helpful ☺️
@@emmykalia its not just helpful but great ❤️... Im practicing when i have some time ..
If it was for beginners then I've to take classes about how to become a beginner lol
yes lol 😂
True😂😂
Yeah, true.
MOOD
hahahaaaa
“You are no a copy machine”
Proceeds to make a perfectly accurate drawing of the woman
XD
The curve of the nose is a little different, the chin is not quite as pronounced and the eyebrows are ever so slightly higher. Also, I think the cheekbones are a little bit different. Even an incredibly skilled artist cannot make a perfect replica. This just goes to show that you don't need to be perfect in order to make great art.
@@taf8903 It was a great drawing, but yes, some of features in the original are sharper and better (if you can call it that). Then again the artist made this as a tutorial so she might not have paid the same attention as she would in a professional drawing. I always think shading is secondary, have to get the facial features and structure right!
@@khanart8504 I don't mean to discount her skill in any way, only to point out that the drawing is not a photocopy. I think what she was trying to say was that you should focus more on making a drawing your own instead of trying to copy it exactly like a machine. You have to make your own shading and lines based on how you interprete the reference image.
@@taf8903 I thought i needed to be super accurate but thankfully i founf thid video for me to calm down not being super accurate
It took me 5 hours and honestly I got a completely different looking face which was exactly what I was going for since I wanted to make a unique/non-existent face. I can’t thank you enough for not only taking the time to make the details so DETAILED but also for showing us how much unexplored talent lies within each and every one of us. Thank you Emily🍅
Hi Rojo,
I'd like to see a piece of your sketch for a business proposal if you're interested, kindly give me a response.
Emmy
I haven't drawn a sketch in years, and was never anywhere close to this level.
This video motivated me to pick up my old hobby again & try to improve. Great work and thank you.
You can do it!

Sometimes TH-cam videos teach us more stuff than a real teacher does. Respect from one artist to another!
You are right
You are so right

Quarantine got me thinking I can draw like this
lol samee
Draw like what
How your progress now? It's been 3 months XD
And online class join the group
Why everyone gotta be hating?
I've been drawing ever since I was a kid nd I v never used guide lines and I really wanted to learn... This is the simplest tutorial i've watched thank youuu❤
Same
From sketching to photoshop.
This is talent to another dimension.
Her drawings:🧑🏼
My drawings:🌝
And my drawings : 🙂
and my: 💩
mine:
😀😀😀😀😀
Mine: Non-existent
The line " You are not a copy machine ... Enjoy " hats off
Pa hug
@@thinchaona5835 Done 🤗
time stamp?
Tell that to our teachers ..
And She just copied
I have learned so much watching your tutorial. When I had trouble figuring out the guidelines, I thought I there was no hope for me, but once I got them onto the paper, it was a game changer. Also, I changed to Mixed Media paper and that made all the difference for my shading. The tissue blends much smoother. Your talent is impressive!
Emmy's can throw shade on anything. Love her attitude and professionalism. I've used this video 100 times in the last month trying to match her. Thanks for all the help.
This made me want to cry .. it reminded me how I love art , I don’t know why I ever stopped. Art is my peace as well as music. Thank You
I stopped to I just started again 😭
Never stop doing what you love!! Even if you don't find yourself good at it, its still art and it is beautiful!!!
@@awesometani8148 ty 💜
Same here. I used to be able to draw faces pretty well, but I haven’t done it in so long that I feel I need a refresher course of training or guidance. I’m glad to have discovered this video. 👍
@@awesometani8148 I guess I have to stop doing it....
i genuinely liked everything about arts since i was a smol kid but i really sucked at drawing back then. but here i am now, a fine arts student!! never give up you guys!! seriously!!
愛情深い。 jheez did you hate English class lmao
I’m joking your English is perfect just the word “smol”
Jonni Winful skksksks it was on purpose
I'm already 16 and I am not still good yet, is it too late for me to take fine arts too? Idk. It's scary.
Can you help me
I am inspired by your talent and will practice drawing elements of the face. Thank you for your tutorials!
Very realistic! Thank you so much Emmy!
in summary:
- use proportion guidelines (if you don't have an ipad, you can print the photo and draw the guidelines on there)
- draw the guidelines very lightly (i personally use hb for guidelines)
- if you don't have a blender at home, use can use a paintbrush or tissue
- draw with light pressure. if you want to go darker use a darker graphite pencil. if you are confident, you can try harder pressure by try doing that at the end
- if you're doing a greyscale pencil sketch, try printing or changing your reference photo to greyscale as well
- pay attention to the highlights and shadows (where the light is coming from)
- try drawing hair in smaller sections then slowly add on
- don't try and draw each individual strand of hair (aside from one or two hairs that may be poking out)
and don't be too hard on yourself! good luck all
wat if u dont have a printer
huh
@Hyvalaxy i think you can just add lines onto your chosen picture using free editing apps (e.g. picsart) and use it as an digital reference
Thank you!
I guess I've been doing art wrong for two decades now. Oh, well, can't change the past
@@msjann there's no right or wrong in art, these r just tips from the video summarised, do what's best for you!
"You are not a copy machine so try to enjoy yourself" Thank you for that. I really needed to hear that. I'm trying to be a more realistic artist in order to upgrade my art skills and sometimes I forget that things don't have to look exactly like the original.

I've been hearing & hearing "use a grid" for decades but never tried it. This is the first time it has seemed "do-able" to me! Thank you so much for the kick-start! Your work is absolutely beautiful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much ☺️
I have a passion for drawing portraits. This video really gives me some insight on how I can improve my skills on drawing hair realistically. I've been doing this stuff since I was a sophomore in high school and I'm always trying to find ways to experiment and improve every time I do a drawing. I use an ebony pencil and blending stumps to do my work - blending stumps are your BEST FRIEND when doing a drawing because the shades come out clean and you're able to include minute details in the work. I always take pride in the small details and seeing the look on the person's face when I show them the finished work. Thank you for your demonstration on this video.
How i draw:
*draws the head *
*draws an egg instead of a head *
* ERASE*
* draws the head again*
* draws the perfect hooman head*
*draws the eyes *
* it looks ugly*
* erases the eyes but the head also got erased*
* Draws the head again*
*draws the eyes *
*the eyes could not fit because the head is too small *
**REPEAT**
wtf...this is hilarious LOL
I FEEL YA!!!
I. FEEL. YA.!!!
I HATE HOW I'M LIKE THIS 😂😂😂😂
@Bruno Millot the other eye is my biggest enemy
and the paper brokes
@@lana-nf2yi yes-
"You are not using the reference photo to copy it a 100% the same, You are not a copy machine".
Damn I really need that❤
Wonderful teacher.Beautiful artist. Thank you!!
Excellent, excellent excellent! Very generous of you to freely show us your techniques, I've learned a lot, thank you. I'd love to see a portrait of an older person.
Click on a portrait tutorial for beginners:
Me: i can do this.
after watching:
Me: okay, all i need is pen and paper, patience and talent. I have pen and paper but where can i buy patience and talent? lol
You srsly think u can buy skills
@@dinosharttt exactly
Give me all the link if you find them 😔
Dinosharttt can u not take a joke?
@@dinosharttt have u ever hearf about the word joke?
For the longest time my drawings have been so cartoony. And I always wanted to learn how to draw realistic humans. And this really helped me so much I can't thank you enough.
This guide is so simple and informative.
Glad to help 🙂
flow my channel
Same and all i do is draw hair😅😅
I love how calm the video makes me, the composition of the music and the voiceover was truly soothing to me. I wish school could actually be like this, would have loved it!
Glad to hear that! Thank you
It's incredibly beautiful, I'm amazed, if I saw the steps, I wouldn't believe it was a painting, I feel like I know their personality, it's like they know me, thank you for displaying your art.
The line " you are not a copy machine..... enjoy" hats off
th-cam.com/video/k5OsSb7nMOo/w-d-xo.html❤
Me:I can draw this!
Me during: can I draw this?
Me after:I can't draw this...
Me too🤨
🤣🤣🤣🤣
me: same me to
Did you try?
It's actually oposite for me,i started doing portraits and it's not that bad tbh but i still need practise.
Absolutely amazing! I traveled to France in 2000, saw an artist sketch like you, had my daughter and my picture sketched. I never knew how he did it with just pencils. Now, I've seen the way to go forward with my sketches. Thank you so much for this video.
th-cam.com/video/hTXYcr5m1Jk/w-d-xo.html
That's insane. The drawing at the beginning look nowhere like the reference photo but after adding the details I was like, "what the hell did she do" I had to rewind and go back several times just to see where the magic happened.
th-cam.com/video/k5OsSb7nMOo/w-d-xo.html❤
I think it requires special pencil
Actually its important in the beginning, to see beyond ''that it looks bad''... in the beginning even Mona Lisa looked bad... the beginning is every time the first approximation to the reality... Thats why Emmy said in the video : dont be to harsh on yourself.
Its important that you are aware: that you are on a journey,...and in process you get better and better.. and maybe its sounds odd , but you need a bit fall in love with your creation, in the process. Dont try to hate your drawing by searching the flaws and hate the drawing for the flaws... Errors are made in the process.. not every error need to be corrected .. just try to make a drawing, were you are a bit more pleased with your progress, than with the last drawing.
Sure recognizing errors and corect them, is important , but not at every cost.
Emmy knows a lot about the soul of drawing, it seems for me. Thats why she also says : ''you are not a copy machine'' .. it means: learn to like , that you put a part of yourself into your creation. An own style, how you do things. It can even mean, you left some errors for purpose, if the errors really , honestly are part of yourself and your own way to draw. That doesnt mean , you can excuse flaws you want to avoid. A drawing can feel uncomfortable for the viewer, when in the drawing, for instance you avoided something, just to hide errors which otherwise would occure.
The drawing needs to be an honest expression of yourself... And that can mean , like Emmy said : enjoying the process. For me, - and thats a personal thing: i dont enjoy drawing , even when i am a professional drawer. But i have other reasons why i feel the need for drawing. Everyone can have his own reasons. But everyone should express his reasons honestly with this hobby.
Nevertheless, Emmy said it better in the video, than i did here.
Basically practice, shading, and good pencils
She : Pro
Me : Can't recognize myself.
After trying few times : Yay. Now I am also a pro. I can successfully draw a rock.
you know portraying a stone is one of the hardest jobs
nice one! that hit me hard
LOL 🤣
😂😂😂😂
This is the perfect picture👍🏻👍🏻. It's been 8 months since I did it as a hobby of painting. Please come to my channel and evaluate. like & subscribers 😁
WOW...Absolutely beautiful!! Perfection in artistry!! LOVE your WORK!!!!
Wow. Stunning. Loved this and ejoyed watching this masterpiece come to life.
I'm a beginner artist who is 16 now. I'm more into Cartoon & Semi-realistic artwork. But I want to make something special for my mother. I had experience with realistic art twice in my life & it turn out pretty good. But I never draw a portrait before. Your video remind me about proposition that my teacher teach me before. Also your video really help me with shading & highlight since I only done pencil colour & alcohol marker. Your video really help me with using graphite pencil.

So good..and very helpful..
everybody!! ❤️always have faith and give god and jesus your faith and hearts because they are coming soon and u will be saved if you do! also im not forcing yall just saying that jesus will take people/beilevers but leave the ones who dont beileve in him guys be quick to make a decision god gave us all this time we need to join him but if you guys say yes here is some advice that helped me a lot here is one thing of how to beileve in god:trust put all your trust confidence amd hope in him rely in him and know he is the strength almighty and nothing can ever stop him another tip for knowing to trust him first thing DONT play the what if game (the what if game is almost everyone do its like u say this “what if i dont beileve?” what if i wont make it?” dont say that instead give yourself hope and confidence and pray :> (edit)also heres more advice seek god with all your heart and you will find him another tip make sure to stay away from doing things bad its okay if you know you did wrong just apolagize to the lord and keep on trying also (before finding to be humble love and beileve in jesus and god you must know what it means first before trying to do it, that helps a lot ok another thing(to beileve in jesus) trust jesus and let him take care of you and can ask god into your life make sure your faith is strong so wont become lukewarm(ok bai😌(im very sorry i never meant to force religion on you i know other religions exist and stuff no worry😓pls dont think im crazy cause the end times really is near😊❤️❤️❤️
@@space__mikspace4088 throw that random extra shit in the shit can, that was so unnecessary.
@@envalence450 its not unnecessary, this is actually helpful for those lost, though i understand that it came out of nowhere but thats also the point.
@@theamigo6783 still, this isn’t church or bible study though...
@@envalence450 exactly bro thats the whole point. People who are lost and need God/Jesus into their lives are not going to be in a church or a bible study. Those who are willing to spread some love from God “humiliate” themselves like for example the person that made that comment here, just for the possibility that someone that needs it might find it
REALLY REALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! MANY MANY THANKS FOR YOUR DEMONSTRATION AND EFFORT!!!!!!
I love how she said “ You are not a copy machine, try to enjoy yourself”
It's my Grandma's Birthday tomorrow and I just wanted to draw a sketch of her to make her happy, I hope I can do this!! ❤️
"you are not a copy machine".... Gave me new perspective.
Thank you Emma, I have liked and subscribed. I will be following your tutorials as I really want to get into drawing. I sketch a little but realise after watching this, that I am far too heavy handed, and haven't been starting with the lighter shades as you suggest, consequently my sketches end up looking too heavy and rather dull. I so want to be able to draw like you, so I shall be looking at your videos in more depth. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos, but for people like you I would have no chance of improving my skills as art classes are too expensive for me.
It's been a while but man I miss drawing. I now understand why the face looks flat when I start adding detail and shadow.. I'm looking at my old drawings from about 5 years ago and seeing where I can improve. My mom gave me a journal sketchbook for Christmas. I've been gone for 2 years from home and she remembers how art made me happy. This motivates me to start drawing again and I think I'm going to use my new sketchbook and start journaling
BRuh my drawing will be much easier now, because my auntie requested a sketch of her newborn, AND HE DOESNT HAVE HAIR YESSSS
Same lol
th-cam.com/video/6BrfuA4mnCg/w-d-xo.html
😂😂😂 hairs are difficult tho😭😭😭
@@RiyaSingh-hs6ll das why iss easy
Hahahaha
Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to break the ice in drawing too many people are just too reluctant to even begin a sketch. 👏👏👏
I've never draw using guidelines before. This tutorial shows me it is much easier to draw using guidelines. Thanks!
Haven't drew anything for a very long time. This video was quite frankly inspirational, what a fantastic talent, a joy to watch and learn from.
I don't even have that many pencils, I just have a monggol 2
Edit: I'll try anyways
Woah I thought this was my comment, but it was weird because I've never seen this video before. That was weird lol
@@maturelydisapointingmember2699 lmao I thought it was the same guy's comment
@@nav5738 😂😂.....coincidence
This looks so real. I want to draw a portrait of my love just like this ❤
This is really helpful, I've always struggled with shading so thank you so much for this
I believe everyone can do it like you.

Love this! I have always wanted to do portraits and have had people ask me if I can do something for them (family members, children, etc.) but I am not confident and have not done this in a very long time. Thank you for your quick tips and I am sure it will help me attempt some of your techniques. Have a great day!
Totally amazing!
I wish I had that skill of drawing portraits.
I do use guidelines for my artwork, of vintage comic book covers, and from old Christmas cards.

Absolutely some Very Handy Tips! Loved this Video!!!
I cant even draw a straight line
Lulu Bobier why am I rofl
Thats why the ruler was invented
@@lolliepop5734 ruler was never meant to draw straight lines, it was made for measuring something
Jake Staines *Both* can be used for that purpose.
That is your mistake, you don't have to draw a staight line, you have to sketch it all along with tiny straight lines
Your work is beautiful Emma! Thank you for the great demonstrations.
Im hats-off you beginning from plotting grid lines so straight just by freehand strokes! 👍👌🥰
Stunning! Absolutely stunning. You have a gift and should be seriously proud of yourself. Thank you for the advice!
Thank you so much
You definitely inspired me to get back to my art. Sometimes life keeps us very busy but I need to remember to keep doing what I love. 😊
I literally almost cry after i watch this video. The tone of your voice.. and the advice makes my mind to pursue my dreams.. Thankyou Ms. Emmy :)
'You are not a copy machine' makes me feel so much better 💗
I really appreciate how you still reply to new comments. 👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching! ❤

That was just beautiful, I was amazed how good it came out.
Very well done and explained. Thank you!
This was a great video with excellent tips thank you! God bless you and yours!
This video really showed me a bunch of new techniques and improved my drawing skills by a lot.
10/10 appreciate it.

I found real nice advices in this video for improve my values approach ! Many thanks Emmy.
I absolutely love her videos...soft and relaxing voice but a True Artisan !! She has tremendous power...🎨🎭
Thank you so much
Wonderful tutorial! Since I am a beginner, it helped me a lot! :)
Это просто завораживает. Очень нравится смотреть как вы работаете! It's fascinating. I love watching you work!
Thanks so much Emmy for your helpful and lovely drawing tutorial. I appreciate all the great tips and your informative and lighthearted narration!
Thank you so much for your kind comment ☺️
Thank you so much for your tutorial and motivation 💖 I've learned a lot~
I'd always struggles drawing the whole face.
Setting up lined proportions prior to starting a drawing always help with the acuracy of the image even if you still need practice with shading which comes to you the more you draw. Great tutorial.
Wawo so nice I like it
Magnificent! Great work! :)
Your works are amazing!✨ Its inspires me.. I was motivated to portrait drawing and I'm still learning on your video tutorials. I hope my skills will be improved soon. Thank you ♥️.
Wow! I could watch you all day. Thank you for sharing and inspiring others. 🌸
Hi
Wow! I love your art. And it is very useful for a drawing fan. Thanks for sharing it with us!
You are amazing! I used to do this back in school.. I m gonna try this again since i am at home due to Covid... I hope i still have it.
Man I wish I had talent and skill like this. It's so beautiful.
This is probably the best instructional video I have ever seen. It immediately made me want to practice. Thank you Emmy. It was absolutely brilliant.
This opinion L + Ratio
Everything was going really well untill my pen touched the paper...
Same
I can totally feel you
Should have used a pencil anyway
Hahahahaha you are hilarious 😂🤣
Totally inspiring Emmy!!! Your advice is top class, for a beginner like me. Love your work👍🏻
So greatt..
no matter how hard u try, learn, n practice.. u can't compare the result with person who had a talent as a gift from God..
Emily: Don't worry about making an exact copy, you are not a copy machine.
Copy machines: Don't worry about getting every single detail, perfected..... you are not Emily Kalia.
But seriously, this is so insanely good, I can't even explain it. My goodness, you're gifted.
Very nice, awesome, realistic, like an actual person looking at me, like the drawing is actually alive with a soul. Great good for which I am extremely grateful for... I thank you very much.
I love how she made the face come to life!
Tbh I m so grateful of u for this amazing tutorial♥️♥️♥️
I'm not learning with graphite pencils but colour pencils. I'm actually so much into portraits, I can draw each part of the face partially well but when it comes to the whole face, I screw up! And thats the fear! I just want it to look at least 90% like the original one and the most horrible thing is the right proportion between each part but thanks to u now I know where I was mistakening!
Great channel, beautiful artwork!! Thank you for sharing!!
Lets keep contact best of luck to your channel!!
Miss Kalia, you did a wonderfull job here. Congratulations . You are a perfect Artist.
Regards from Brazil
Good video. Clear and informative. Thanks. ❤️
amazing! thank u for ur advice & sharing ur techniques!
You are so welcome!
I really just want to thank you so much for this video - I’m going into my second year of high school and taking Drawing and Painting lll. My teacher instructed me to work on my proportions and is very hard on all of us to do so and it seems I’m the only one whose proportions aren’t up to par. However after seeing the guidelines it makes total sense and I sent in a piece of work to him and he loved it! So thank you for saving me from multiple gray hairs!! ❤️🩹
That’s great 😃
Wow!!! So good
I really started making this thinking I could do it and halfway through when I actually looked at my drawing...that was a wake up call 😔 but seriously, you are so talented! ❤️❤️
*To whoever is reading this you are kind and beautiful and stay safe during this pandemic* 💝💝
You too 👍
Excellent work. Kudos to an artist from another artist.
youre not an artist youre a witch!
i cant imagine being able to draw like this. amazing
you are an amazing artist! It looks so real, as if it could jump off the page.
Thank you!
