  • In this video I am demonstrating a more casual approach to sketching and studying the portrait. The subject is a famous bust depicting a Flavian woman.
    The tools I am using: Zebra G nib, Winsor & Newton liquid India ink (non-waterproof) and two water brushes (Faber Castell and Sakura Koi in medium)

    This is wonderful, and your narration is very informative. I'm interested in learning orthodox iconography for church, but the iconographer at my church suggests I learn realism before I embark on something so stylized. So thank you very much for your videos!

      Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment! He is right, it is always best to understand reality first before you can abstractize it. Good luck !!

    Did you use a variety on ink wash grades or simply layer more of the same value/tone of ink after it dried? Did you use the same ink for the pen as the wash? (India ink?) I love this style. Excellent drawing to begin with.

      Hi and thank you for watching! I used water-soluble ink from Winsor & Newton on bristol paper (it does not absorb it too much). With the water brush I can both dilute the lines put on the paper with pen and add layers either straight from the jar or with the residue on the brush. I hope that clarifies!

    You are good at drawing. 😃How did you start? At young age?
    Did you feel you had nice lines in your hand, that you had progress while learning… still some kind be ahead of the situation. Or did you experience sweat, blood and tears? Pushing yourself to become better? (I myself learned music like playing around with it as a child would do. First later, after being able to play pretty good I started fine tune my technique. When from singer songwriter guitar playing to, complicated jazz harmonies.)
    I really enjoyed the part when you tell us about the thought process, while drawing. Because I myself is interested in how a experienced person find the solutions. What a good artist see after they draw a line or two. Because to me I think they somehow know what that line will lead to. I most of the times wouldn’t know how one line can lead to another that leads to a representation that looks like something recognisable.

      I've been drawing since I was small. My dad is really talented but he was a fighter pilot so not fully invested in art. I always had other priorities and took art as an enjoyment in my spare time. I only started more seriously three years ago but a lot of things helped throughout my life, not art related. For instance, in high-school I studied primarily natural sciences and I had to basically eat anatomy for breakfast. I also spent a lot of time around horses which helped me tremendously. Art is a mixture of knowledge, practice, intuition and feel... Hard to say which one is predominant and when

      @@classicalodyssey Thanks for answering. I find it fascinating while listening to your voice and speech in the video that you are constantly looking for better ways (and good solutions) to get the best result. Trying to optimize your skills. People like that have always fascinated me more than the once that is good at gossiping.
