Good video. I have been drawing for a very long time, I’m glad you discussed the importance of recognizing negative space and included the whole “don’t draw what you think draw what you see” topic
Thanks. Yes, and it helps to turn the reference photo upside-down to disconnect the mind from inserting what we 'think' should be there. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I truly appreciate your tips. I just came across your video today and I can’t wait to watch them all. You are awesome. Thank you for being so thorough.
Hi people... for reasons no more than personal usage and not related to copy infringement, selling material, literary theft and plagiarism. I am sharing this just for your information. If you want to look for such pictures just google up homeless photography or portraits of homeless people and look up Lee Jeffries. His photos are phenomenal for your practice.
Guess we ought to remove a bunch of old paintings from museum walls from the classical painters that used methods such as this to start their paintings.
Why would it be cheating? Can anyone grid, yes. The grinding is usually the easy party although it doesn't always ensure a perfect outline of a picture. I used the grid plenty of times and had my proportions still be off. The true drawing come when a person creates the shadows and bring the shapes to life. You can't cheat that.

I found that very helpful. Doing shapes instead of drawing objects seems more realistic.
Awesome. Thanks for commenting!

Hi, RixCanDoit. Most of the old forgers would turn a picture upside down. Please continue to inspire. Peace.
That's pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing!

What kind of paper might be the best for sort of this kind of drawing?
Anyone?
The smooth surface of Bristol is what I like.
Thanks 😊
If you want to search the drawing, take a snaggit/screenshot and do a Google Image search.
Hey Rix, what progam do you use to create those yellow quares?
Photoshop.
How can i get that reference photo ?
Dunno. I find these on wild internet searches.
Some psycho people say grid is cheating 😑
