Working from life gives the real feeling of forms as they exist in space. Since sometimes we work from photographic reference, we have to learn how to experience the flat image as if it was three dimensional, to give artistic quality to the work we create. This video is a preview of a longer video where you will learn how to conceptualize the forms presented in a photograph, to create a drawing that feels three dimensional by understanding the planes of the portrait. You can find the complete video on my website: cesarsantos.com/

Music Intro "Another Toy" by Alex Keren
I am very grateful to find you today, which was the first time I have seen your videos. I feel bad that cannot financially support your work, I don't make money anymore, at 73 and poor, but I pray that you receive all the blessings for a victorious career because you are a great teacher. I have learned a lot from the last three of your videos. Today 1/20/22 have been a great gift of inspiration to return to paint for I was almost given up on my passion, age and world pandemic don't help much. Thanks for your hard work and love for what you do and sharing with us your knowledge. Godspeed!
Someday Cesar, I'll shake your hands and thank you for the inspiration and knowledge you've provided me through this stage of my life. I'll push through the struggles of this pandemic as well as my life and I'll be a professional artist one day. I hope to meet you soon.
Update?
@@josesatanas2205 still struggling, but building a portfolio and got a few commissions along the way. Learned a lot about taking clients, and which ones to trust and which are too good to be true.
Update?? You made it big or not.
@@arpitsharma9756 still working on it. Getting commissions here and there tho specially on upwork
This is the first video I see Cesar Santos teaching and I am delighted. What a way of teaching drawing!
The use of line to describe the forms is underutilized by so many artists. My drawings are much improved when I take the time to build a wireframe that includes the planes
I can feel the new neural pathways reaching into my brain and lighting it up when you say things like “the cornea (eyeball) pushes up the eyelid that way and then it (the eyelid) catches the light” or (to the effect) the “way her hair is sitting on that part of her skull (the plane underneath), pushes it outwards so it catches the light the way that it does” thank you! It feels so nice to have a new way of thinking.
Your paid complete videos have been very very good! They are well worth the price! Please continue!
I am new to portrait drawing, I'm still learning the basics, and your art just blew my mind! your ability to achieve likeability with few lines is amazing :)
I can't afford your lessons yet but I can't wait to grab one of them :)
I find it so weird that out of all the TH-cam artists that I look at,Cesar being the one of the best, there are always so many people complaining or bringing up things that are completely irrelevant from the content of the video.
Thats marketing pr🗨️. They slow videos to increase watch time for more money, guess who's time is lost with irrelevant info...? Beware.. Dawn Of The TH-camr has just began👽👽. They thirst your attention.😂😂
Man I have been binge watching your videos i have stumbled upon a gold mind of knowledge🙏🏾
Como siempre un gusto ver tu trabajo!!! Gracias my friend 🇪🇸👍🏻
Absolutely amazing.
Fantastic Approach Maestro Cesar!!! Thank you!!!
The mirror or sometimes the camera is a reality that can be hard to face when I think I am finished.
I try to not think of it as a hard thing because if my eyes become lazy (sometimes adjusting things that are wrong), or if I have errors that can't be viewd by my perspective, having a mirror is the best thing to have. I try using it during the entire process, not just in the end, so I can keep correcting all the mistakes I notice or make.
Try using it your favor, just like all the other materials and technologies. 🙂
Agreed
Definition of a master- someone making something difficult, look effortless.. Thank you for the videos.
Amazing talent. And that self portrait over your shoulder 5:15?! Remarkable. Thanks for sharing.
The prices for the full videos are very good for the amount of knowledge, skill and time. Thank you!
Thank you!
Happy to come across you bro and your genius art work. Love and peace. Cosmic blessings to you.
Your skills are extraordinarily exceptional.
I’m going to be a senior this year so I’ve obviously been thinking a lot about what I want to do for college and I told my mom I want to go to a art college instead of taking the medical field and I can tell she’s still iffy about it so I got to show her I’m 100% serious and develop my skill. Wish me luck 😭😭
Good luck boss.
Gracias por otro video, Cesar.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You present us a pathway of so many new and different journeys. It's so exciting ( and ok, a little scary, that is inevitable) to embark on a new adventure. And hopefully I'm gonna be a better artist, and a richer human being for having taken the risk. All the best to everyone for '22.
Thank you very much. Will incorporate your technique into my own art. Also, I love the way you passionately speak with your hands! :)
Awesome Cesar thanks for sharing

Epic rap Cesar, it fits, I do want to learn. There is so much time now with the isolating, but I also want to change my work habits for life, so your being effective referring to the masters and base repetitive principles is going to help. Blessings dude

(JK, love your stuff man! your tutorials and vlogs have been influential in keeping me inspired to draw and take it seriously!)
Yes Cesar. I was not painting when my grandchildren were little, but I have a ton of photos and I can paint now, so............
Great 🙏❤❤
such an awsome video as aleays. Do you ever recomend the loomis method to first map out the proportions espesialy for beginners ?
I just purchased the video on your web site. I love graphite! It would be great to also include a fully rendered drawing in a series fo purchase. Thanks
Muito Bom um dia eu chego lá
Yu are so talented///
Thank you.. Sir for makeing this video.... please sir make more videos... same like this only helps of pencils how to blocking face perfectly on paper
Hi Cezar you are amazing with explain
A question: when you do a portrait would it be life size head or smaller or bigger than life size
Thank you
Hi Cesar, how do you do the self-portrait through mirror? I feel it's challenge to measure my features accurately. Thanks.
Great video Cesar! Will this tutorial on your website also become a series? Thanks!
Lol never seen a drawing master rapping before 😂 i think now I've seen it all
Never been this early
The intro is what did it for me 😏
Greetings Cesar, I like your instructional and interesting videos. I got a question: can you make a video tutorial on how to draw a portrait using the Andrew Loomis method?
Hey yo..u going great yo..
Is the video available if you sign up and if so at what charge? Does it cover shading?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Shoow
The power of helicopters when looking at a picture
We need to get a go fund me started to buy Cesar some paint brushes, he could use a few more rounds, flats, and filberts.
Sir Cesar Santos, where did you got your reference for your drawing?
I like to watch you painting in oils, in a definitive form as you say.full video
The structure looks like some variation of Reilly rhythms.
Hey cesar, where do you get your references?
Can u make a hands on tutorial on proportions of the head? Bc i dont really want to use grid anymore when painting a portrait. Itd be a huge help!!!! Thanks!!!
Check Cesars blog on head proportions which answers your question. Cant remember which number it was, but it was one of his first videos. I found it very helpful to understand how to draw heads.👍
Cesar where do you get your photo reference? you shot it yourself?
Yes, always
I wish I could be this guy’s apprentice.
You can!! Cesarsantos.com
Cesar Santos Seriously?!
he sesar sir so supar iam from india
i am sometimes bothered with my under drawing of the head before applying the colors. sometimes the bad sketch is resolved by the time the colors are applied. should i be worried? i feel like some paintings come out as a result of luck.
chocolateknife if you’re fixing the drawing directly during the painting process then you’re getting to where you want to be at that stage. A better question is why are you making an inaccurate drawing to begin with? I suggest beginning your drawing with an envelope. Mark the borders of your subject, the farthest dimensions . Simple marks that can be moved easily. But take as much time as needed for this step, don’t rush and make sure these marks are dead on accurate. Then connect the marks with a simple outline shape. This is your envelope. It is very helpful to get the proportions right inside when the outside boundaries are in the right spot. Good luck with your art
@@jeffhreid thanks , i'll try that
@@jwhite-1471 actually, in my case i paint digitally but i follow the build-up of a traditional painting as i find it methodical and convenient
i'm just bothered at times where i see the inefficiencies of the base drawing when i work on to the colors and blocking in stages
Please make a long video same like this please😫🙏🙏💓
It's on his website
What is an ideal width of an eye .. plz anyone tell me ...
Hola Cesar - is this online or DVD?
Online! Immediate access!
@@santocesart Muchas gracias Cesar, ya los compré. Saludos desde San Diego - cuídate, hermano!
If only the tutorials werent so expensive.
35 bucks!??
What do you want the price of your skills and knowledge to be???
A master painter sharing knowledge and wisdom he has accumulated over many years of practice and learning is worth ten times what Cesar charges for his videos.
I think maybe some younger individuals are used to 99 cent apps. Real classes: college, seminars, etc. are very expensive. These are a steal.
I am working now on bargue plates, but I really do not understand how to use the same bargue techniques to create portraits of real people
Cesar, When we purchase your tutorials, how long can we use them for? Thank you!
They are about an hour and you can watch it as many times as you want.
Cesar Santos awesome! Thank you for getting back with me! I will be purchasing your tutorials! I love your videos & appreciate the the time you take showing us your knowledge! It would be so awesome to go on the road & just paint & draw!
I don't need a mirror to see my attempts are all over the place... I will get there. :-)
Hand drawing tutorial video please
👌 but you are young and having fun. I can watch all the videos you’ve produced and they will make me a much better artist. But, when do you say ok it’s time. You work very hard. I personally think you can be better than Sargent. I say this because I have an eye for it( only have one eye) so I see what others may not see.

Ich grüße EHC!
Ojalá tuvieras subtítulos en español 😰😪✊
Just realized that everything really does come down to light. 🤦🏿♂️
