Realistic Drawing Tutorial for Beginners - POLYCHROMOS

[@mhlengidlomo]

What makes you even more cooler is that you reply to comments👊👌

[@johnlogan5760]

Thank you so much for a "Real Time" video showing the colors that you are using! So many artist on TH-cam are using pencil extenders and give no instruction or comments on the colors used. This is very, very helpful for those of us just starting out. Again, thanks & very "smart" ;)

[@thecheshirecrafter4522]

Wow, I'm blown away. You were using earth green and magenta in places I'd least expect it. Thanks so much.

[@BMDPortraits]

Glad you liked it!

[@sandracowling907]

That’s amazing. Thank you. Must have taken hours and lots of patience. I can see now where I go wrong. Trying to get results too quickly by not working light enough and building up enough layers. 😁

I wish I could find this photo online. I would love to follow along. I usually use Prismacolors but I find i am too heavy handed with them and my portraits become over saturated.

[@cloptete1979]

Sound like a basic question but what do you do your initial drawing with? When I use graphite, even though I erase a bit with kneaded eraser it still 'dirties' my paper. You look like you are having no trouble blending in the drawn lines. Thanks Pal

[@BMDPortraits]

i use an H or HB graphite pencil and i draw my lines very lightly

[@Kokii-Art-Space]

Just wow! How do you decide which color combination to use? You've used so many.

[@BMDPortraits]

i don't know....i just love working with many colors.....and those are what i see on my reference photo

[@Kokii-Art-Space]

@@BMDPortraits That's alone is a great talent. Thanks for replying.

[@paulross2117]

Hi i would love to follow along with you but obviously need to start st beginning. Can you please tell me how to access you reference photo and even better if you had a line drawing. Further did you record starting at the beginning of the first eye.
I am sure many of us are happy for your real time art no matter if it tajes 20 hours or a month.
Thanks. Paul Australia

[@BMDPortraits]

U can check this newer drawing, this one is years ago, I already 4gotten everything about it: studio.th-cam.com/users/playlistPLHZNHDJ4Bn4KW5t8j34xROm5fs94QvLkO/videos

[@paulross2117]

Hi. I appreciate the newer drawing and certainly will attempt it. Trouble is i started the other frim where yiu had the right eye drawn and were starting on his left- then it finishes. Not as a complaint but merely to share my dilemma can i explain my frustration as a new artist (at 75) This is lacking a/ the line drawing or outline. B/ the start if drawing his right eye c/ missing too the eyebrows, nose and facial area around these.
If you have a series of this drawing can you point me the way. Thank you kindly for sharing your expertise.
I hope to be following and developing as a budding artist with your help for a long time. Paul

[@toricoppard3639]

This is such an amazing tutorial thank you so much!! It’s going to change my approach totally. You’re a master of colour theory.
I wonder if you could possibly recommend a polychromos colour in place of the prismacolour seashell pink? Is the reason you use prismacolour for the burnishing because you prefer the colour or the texture of the prismacolour?

[@BMDPortraits]

Thank u so much, im happy that it was helpful....i like to use 1 or 2 light prismas on my poly drawings, because their waxy, soft textures, help blend and hold the pigments of poly really nice and tight, but using purely poly is perfectly fine i would normally use flesh, medium flesh, cream and white poly to burnish.

[@poornimaramachandran5338]

Can we attain the realism in portrait even using budget friendly cheapest colour pencil and gsm? Does hyper realism portrait depends on practice or the pencil we are using

[@BMDPortraits]

it depends on the skills u acquire through time, materials matter in terms of quality of the portrait, artist grade materials dont fade, has intense colors, easy to layer and blend....however realism using cheap materials is very much achievable, u just need to spend more time and effort.
