ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2019
- This drawing tutorial gives you 8 helpful tips to improve your drawing and to learn how to draw a better realistic portrait and realistic face from life. It's a complete art lesson on how to draw a portrait from life. And then how to finish that live portrait in your studio, working from a photo.
You'll find that these 8 tips are foundational to drawing a realistic face using any drawing medium, including charcoal or graphite pencil. And these art tips cover every step of the portraiture drawing process.
Yes! You can absolutely follow along as I work from live model Corrie and use sighting to determine the height-to-width ratio of her face, indicate placement of her features, block in the basic shapes of her face, establish the shadow and light shapes, and then refine everything to bring Corrie's portrait to a realistic finish.

Thats actually really helpful, thank you! AND funny too!
You're welcome, Cassiopey! Thanks so much for your comment!
@@artistchronicle Hy ,grats for answering in comments. Can please draw an photo portet image' skech colored ,to send this with e mail ?
Spoiler : Everything it's a shape
*_aLwaYs hAS bEEN_*
@Ted Bundy but it makes drawing way more easier in many places I think.
As the title it is.
It's tips. Not saying that its all applicable in all portrait drawing or subject to draw okey?
But all of the contents of his video helps most specially those beginners.
So stop saying nah. Trying to act better than him..
aLwaYs
the lamest comment ive read here... this deserves a big DUH!!! 😂
i find this actually very informative, i never thought of thinking of everything of something i draw as a shape therefore limiting me from drawing much of a face since i can never pin it down, and the other aspect of scaling that you demonstrated is what finally helped me understand how to effectively check the scale of a person or thing’s face/size, also love your humor! keep up the good work too!
Awesome! I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for your comments! 😊
This was very helpful.. I draw just as a hobby but have only taken a art class way back in elementary school. I usually just stick to what is easy for me (mostly plants) but I have wanted to learn how to draw people to challenge myself and (hopefully) improve my skills in the process.. turning the image upside down just helped me see so much that I wasn't seeing before... so awesome
Awesome! I'm so glad you found the tips helpful. Yes, turning everything upside down is something I did as an illustrator, often. It was especially helpful as a very last step before shipping everything to the client. Good luck with it all! 😊
This is one of the best tutorials you've offered. Thanks!
Thanks, Bunny! I really appreciate the positive feedback!
SHES SO BEAUTIFUL ! 💞
I'm sure she would appreciate that comment. Thanks!
Exactly.. pretty and adorable ❤️❤️
i just discovered your channel and realized you’re telling every tip that i couldn’t find in any other channel and found out on my own (like the order of the stages, revealing the shape of the shadows at first, turning everything upside down etc.) you’re my favorite now 🔥
Awesome! Thanks! 😊
I have just recently watched a dozen “how to draw a portrait” videos. This one is by far the one that helped me the most. Not to mention you are a very likable person.
Sooooo gooooood! This man deserves a best art teacher award on an international level.
Haha… don't know if I'd go that far, but thanks very much for the comment!
This video is not JUST helpful, but very enjoyable to watch. Don has an admirable sense of humor that is very engaging! Love it
Wow… awesome! Thanks so much for you comment!
Great job, Don! Thanks for teaching us from your experience. The tips are invaluable! Bravo.
This helps me so much. Measuring, and not identifying eyes as eyes amd just as shapes, and blocking out the shadows. Very helpful, thanks!
I love how you point things out, it's clear and straight to the point. The visuals also helps to point out the details on the instruction. I find it fun to watch and at the same time I'm getting knowledge from your video. Thanks for the informations!😁
You're very welcome! And thanks! I really appreciate your positive feedback… very encouraging!
this was a really entertaining and helpful,i learned a lot
So glad to hear that!
I love the way he talks, so comfortable to hear and easy to understand even without subtitle ❤️
great tutorial! Being able to see shapes and darkness while ignoring the subject makes everything so much more fun to draw too.
Thanks! And, I couldn't agree more!
Thank you for making this simple to understand with thorough examples. Art gives me anxiety due to my perfectionist heart, and so many people simply say to do things but they don't explain it well and leave it more for interpretation. Thank you again sir, I love your videos🖤
😮😢😅😅
When you see a person who takes the pencil just like that, you know the drawing is going to be so good!!!!!
😊 Thanks!!!
Amazing tutorial!!! Clear and concise, THANK YOU!!!
Liked those simple and short, to the point guide. Easy to understand and follow. Thanks.
Happy New year 🍀💗 this is Very helpful ❤️☺️
Thanks! Happy New Year to you, too… glad you found it helpful! 😊

Good to know! Thanks for your comment!
Helpful! 👍🏻I did not expect the drawing to be this similar to the model at first! And I'm mostly concerned about the similarity between my work and the model so if I get disappointed I simply give up continuing it! ☹
this video is so helpful. damn, its so underrated

This was extremely helpful thank you!
Awesome! You're very welcome!
Corrie was great as your live model. I don't know if she's done that type of work before, but one thing I found out long ago when working with some models is that getting them to relax can be the toughest part of the session. Some models get nervous because the artist is just "staring" at them or they get anxious because they don't know what to do, or just making eye contact with them for long periods can be uncomfortable if they are not used to that.
So what I do is just talk to them about anything but the modeling. Small talk while I take the major measurements, or establish the layout does not require them to be perfectly still and they can loosen up a bit and get comfortable. I also like to take photos so I can reference them later to fill in the fine details that take the most time without the model having to even be there. Photos are also great to keep the light source the same depending on where you are sitting the model and the light source(s) available.
I enjoyed your instructions, but to be honest with you what really got me to watch this video was your thumbnail. It showed Corrie and she looks like a twin sister to a model I am currently using and have drawn many times over the past year. When I asked her to pose almost a year ago, she was always nervous, laughed a lot, couldn't hold a pose, got embarrassed and all those things new models tend to do. Now she is very relaxed, goes straight into the poses, follows instructions perfectly - "look there, look here, up, down, smile, serious, turn..." It's a blessing to have such a great model and it looks as if you found one in Corrie as well.
Superb class with so much common sense and great tips ,with a bit of fun too . Well done.
One of the best tutorial we receive in class and I would have love you as a teacher ! 😂 You incorporate humour and knowkedge !
This art could step on me and I'd thank you for it.✌️
Awesome! Glad you commented! 😊
This was really helpfull! Especially for a beginner like me! Im trying to make a protrait with only online references so i cant know the height, but it still really helpfull tho!
Awesome! Have fun with it… thanks for commenting! 🙂
Amazing simple,helpful and clear..
Wow.. the tips are so much useful, thankyou so much
You know this moment when you see a master at work ?! I felt that.
i believe artist like this deserves a million,lovelots sir!
I'm so glad you commented. Thanks!
Thanks for this tutorial. Being a beginner artist. I do have potential. So I've watched many all over TH-cam. And im getting it now! Easy like 1+1=2 YOUR VIDEO makes it less stressful. Simple measurements. basic outline. When you focus on shallows and shapes it makes it so much easier to understand. Without all the extra mumbo jumbo😂😂 im definitely subscribing to your channel. Thanks again!
Great tips,Great humor,Great Artwork...subscribing most definitely!!
Why us this man so adorable😂♥️
🤔 Haha… thanks! 😉
Great tips!
I love broccoli though 🥦 even if it’s asymmetrical.
Haha… me too, Marisha. Me too 😉
I'd say not even a face is symmetrical, nothing in nature is really, if you look close enough. But broccoli is fun to draw! Romanesco too!
@@illustratornamedkasper
Yes, agreed. Nothing is truly perfectly symmetrical and that’s not a problem 🌱
@@illustratornamedkasper True that. Glad you commented! (Haha… will have to try drawing Romanesco next) 🥦🥦🥦
Incredibly useful video on drawing portraits😊😺
This a brilliantly produced tutorial, really, well done.
Thanks so much!
What pencil can i use Mr.Artistchronicle also thank you for this video and those tips i will practice on my drawings
You're welcome! These tips work with any drawing medium. Graphite, charcoal, etc. I used a combination of General's charcoal pencils and Conte sketching pencils.
@@artistchronicle well thank you very much sir always be safe and godbless
when you said, see it as a shape , I remember another great teacher in youtube, his name is Yong Chen,
" Great minds think alike"
Seeing everything as a shape is a common 'strategy' for drawing and painting in a representational (realistic) way. One that is taught by a lot of art teachers, I imagine. Glad you commented!
@@honketyhonk8414 lol

Best explaination on TH-cam till date !
Thanks! So glad you commented!
I loved your 8 ((9) 10) types of drawing ❣️
Picked up a couple very handy considerations to bear in mind. And you TOTALLY captured your subject in your piece. There is no question that, that is her in the portrait. In other words, it doesn’t ‘look’ like her at all. It IS her. Which says a lot especially when the model is so symmetric. There’s no cheating or relying on some random yet distinguishably/identifiably visible character trait (good OR bad) that would come from just casual/simple observation. Thank you for sharing.
You're very welcome. Glad you commented!
This is what I was looking for, thanks!
Awesome! You're very welcome!
