    @10:28 "Again, you don't have to do exactly what the photo reference [is] giving you." I agree totally with the master. This is what makes it art; it's your interpretation of the reference or subject. It's also what makes it enjoyable and interesting.

    Whoa! I wouldn't have let that hideous Halloween-lit picture out of my house! Overhead lighting, up the nostril view and grim hostile expression; the photo would win a contest for making every possible mistake. You did a great rescue on this dreadful shot and it was a pleasure to watch the magic appear out of a film disaster.

    I've just celebrated my 70th birthday and decided that I'd take up golf and find out whether there's any truth in my belief that I'm not artistic or creative and that I can't draw. I've trawled TH-cam looking for tutorials and stumbled upon this this afternoon. This man's a genius. I'm so envious of Yong Chen's talent. I definitely feel inspired to give drawing a try. If I succeed it will be down to this man.

    There is so much information here which, to be honest, is not the way I would be explain it as he does here. And yet the technique in how he explains the composition is not what would come to me naturally; my eyes have been truly opened. At 06:00 he is already showing so much likeness of the subject. He shows *exactly* how it should be done. Being shown techniques like this is worth so, so much in the early days of using charcol ... and I have yet to experience it at any level. This guy is a valuable and learned guy and he's worth a Sub. Thank you for sharing this.
