  • Step by step on how I go about creating a realistic stylized drawing using my go to materials. The tutorial is very basic and covers all materials and techniques used.

    I really appreciate this kind of art than hyperrealism.

    My boy sees the world in a much different way than most people. The impressionistic way using negative space is next level.

    Best tutorial ever! I’ve only dabbled in charcoal but now I’m inspired to continue on. ❤

    What you said at the end is really important. I remember I used to work in an art gallery with some old and famous paintings that I'd spend a lot of time looking at. When I'd look at the details from very close, they looked odd e.g. pearls were simply grey dots with a crude white dot in the middle. But looking at them from far away, my mind made me see the white dots as shine.

    I've been aiming for hyper realism for years now, but lately I've been attracted to these type of artworks and they honestly seemed more enjoyable, quicker and eye catchy. I tried it 😂 but from someone who's used on keeping details controlled, it's so hard for me to draw the way he did. It's just really weird and amazing at the same time😂

      They feel in a way more natural to the eye. And they allow you more room to feel and imagine. They beg you to understand them just a bit more in their abstraction

    The struggle I’m having is training my eye to see proportions and values as effortlessly as you do. I still use the grid method as a way to get my proportions right but I hate being dependent on that

      @megancartwright1351 2 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      I find that looking away frequently from my drawing helps a lot (I have a tendency of leaning way too close and so I get really focused). I was also taught to not look at the paper while you're drawing on it--the key is to fix your eyes on your reference or model, and glance briefly at the paper every so often. It takes a couple tries but it really helped with my proportioning after a bit of practice! Also, another tip that someone gave me is to work with smudges, not lines, because the lines (e.g. pencil lines) automatically make your eye focus on it and you can lose concentrating on the face as a whole.

      Learning to trust my instincts and forcing myself through a piece helped me a lot personally

      @bunktwr 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I think knowing skull anatomy would help a lot. Once you get used to it, you will see the skull bones through your model/reference image, and this will help you in the overall proportions. Give it a try.

    This was a amazing video. I've been wanting to work with this coal for a long time. I been trying to get back into drawing after years of not picking up a pencil. So watched your video while picking up some tinted charcoal pencils I still had and followed along. I could hardly believe what I was creating on paper. I could hardly belief what was slowing appearing on the paper before me. I didn't think I had the skills to pull something like this off. Specially not after only drawing in a manga style for 9+ years. I'm so happy I found your video. It has given me the confidence that I can do more than I thought I could.
