Description:
Among drawing instructors it is commonly understood that a drawing won’t really get any better than the block in allows- no matter how beautifully rendered.
Because of this the longest standing project for students at the academy where I worked were short pencil drawings that focused exclusively on the 1st stage of a drawing.
Ever wonder how atelier students get so good at proportion? They would practice making these drawings for 4 years!

About me:
My work focuses on the human figure. I've given drawing and painting workshops and demos throughout the United States and Europe. I have been making realist drawing and painting tutorials for two years now that I release through my Patreon page. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
This is what I have the most trouble doing. Despite learning about the fundamentals, I have a habit of always diving into details even when trying not to. I also love the blocked-in look from a stylistic standpoint. I really want to get that down in my art and make it have some kind of form and not just a flat looking drawing. This is something I wish I studied more when I got into art. Thanks for the lesson!
I feel you
This is my issue exactly! I went from learning the simple fundamentals of the loomis method to too much detail/values. This "middle step" where I get to triple check the block in shapes should help out a lot. Definitely a lightbulb moment for me in my progress.
SAME!!! I've always tended to jump in right into details and shading which is silly because the final drawings never look as professional as these block-in ones and they definitely lack substance. I really love this video and I hope it'll help me improve my sketches, I'm going to practice this from now on, forcing myself to refrain from jumping into details too quickly!!
@@magda5942 Good luck to you! I did a quick drawing today and once I thought more in forms it turned out better.
@@Drstrange3000 Thank you!!! Same here!! I did a sketch of a face and instead of jumping into shading too fast I mapped out the shaded forms in blocks and it already looks better too😀Good luck you as well!
Golden advice from a professional thank you for explaining this to the community it’s so important yet so over looked among many
Glad it was helpful!
The block in is my favorite drawing topic. I think it is the single most important skill for anyone learning to draw.
hi wildfood,,, lets connected, ILove drawing..
This is exactly what I've been missing in my drawings. Capturing the true form is the most difficult thing for me and now I know how to train it! Thank you for this short but such an insightful video!
Glad it was helpful!
this process of breaking down the underlying foundation of this portrait method is very valuable to the art community! Thank you for teaching us valuable techniques and practices!
Wow! Pretty awesome! You said something very, very important in anything that you do. That is to master the basics and spend a lot of time doing that. My martial arts instructor always stresses practicing the basic stances and moves to strengthen your balance and muscles. And with art, is the same thing. You hit it right on the nail with this one. I've been doing art as a hobby and ever since I started practicing the basic concepts you just explained, my drawing skills have dramatically improved 300%. Pretty awesome! I'll keep listening to your videos until I get it right. THX!!!!
Good video... Looks like a big part of being an artist is fight against the urge to get final result immediately
I was amazed to see how "little" had been done when Stephen said 30 minutes had passed
This is why I love the internet. What I could get from a college course but for free on TH-cam. Will be buying your patreon soon. The way you talked about this just made my brain click to continue my growth.
Nice- see you there :)
great description! thanks for outlining the parameters of what to focus on in a block in and what comes next! Really helpful!
Very informative and very helpful instructions. I'm an art student and I wish they teach us this technique in college.
Brilliant advice 🔥. So easy to neglect practicing the block in stage on a regular basis as we tend to want to produce the final image so quickly
hi wiz... lets connected,
Off the bat, first sketch after watching this video, so much more defined and representative of the reference. This helped immeasurably, thank you!
👌🤜🤛
Thank you, I'll try this more often.
Wonderfully educative video that matches exactly where I am in my learning process ! Grateful for your work 🙏
Thank you stephen! This is exactly what I have been looking for!
I have practiced and have become decent in most of the fundamentals but I always struggled with making the proportions right. This helps a bunch!
So so useful! And so beautiful donne and so so well explained. I really need to get better at blocking. The temptation to go too fast in this fase gets me every time 😅
I'm saving this video ❤ Love your content. 💕
That was very helpful, thank you! ❤️
Amazing advice on practicing block-ins over focusing on detailed work for beginners. Thank you!
This makes me realise I get into detail far too early on in the process!
Wow, this was so helpful!
you are a great teacher and artist
This is one of the greatest art beginner videos I've seen!!!
THANK YOU I have this portraiture assignment for art and was struggling for some time. This was SO HELPFUL.
Glad it was helpful!
I love the over all quality of your content , not only the quality of all the videos in general but the information that you're giving to us!! I'm so thankfull, it is really helpfull to the community and i hope your channel to grow soon!
Wow, thank you!
Was great to see a professional at work and giving advices! Will definitely implement these!
Glad it was helpful!
This was terrific
Wow what this artists is saying is so clear.😊
Fantastic! I am trying to improve my portrait artwork and the block-in phase, specifically, is definitely where I struggle the most. Your previous videos, in combination, with this one is a game changer for me. I will definitely be subscribing to your patron. Thanks for sharing this vital information so elegantly.
Glad it was helpful!
amazing tutorial
Thank you! Great information. Always love your teaching
You are so welcome!
Amazing advice, truly. If you were to quit watching TH-cam to focus on your art, this is the last video you should watch and memorize.
Golden advice!!!!
Great insights, thanks
Keep making these type of videos
We love ur work and effort😊
Thank you, I will :)
Thank you for this!
Thanks so much, I often forget how important blocking is!
Beautiful demo boss 👌
great video, thanks!
Great video i am really motivated by it
Great great tip! Better practice this.
Then full drawing
Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!!
thank you so much! i just made one of my first 'realistic' portraits. improvement is next!!!
🙏👌💪
I really appreciate this 🙏 I was a bit confused about the term at first and now I finally understand what you mean. You're excellent at explaining stuff in a way I understand. 👍
You're so welcome!
Thanks!
Really appreciate your effort, thanks a ton!
No worries!
🤩really great video
I would guess that this video is going to help me improve my drawing faster than might otherwise be the case. I really like the fact that Stephen talks about using time more efficiently . Thanks, Stephen!
Glad it was helpful!
Obrigada!! . Você é de mais!!!!
Well articulated Stephen! Thanks man
My pleasure!
Humans have a whole, special section of our brain that is dedicated to identifying and differentiating human faces. It's why we can look at our drawings and notice the minutiae of what's off, let alone large differences.
Time to do 200 block ins
Thank you so much, I learn really the most important things from you 🖤
You're so welcome!
Awesome
Absolutely beautiful video 👏🏻 Each and every line you said should be ingrained into the heads of a beginner Artist cuz they make lots of mistakes. Respect 🧡
So grateful thank you 🙌🏼
You're so welcome!
Thank you
Very helpful information sir🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

hi,,, Queenie Greengrass,, lets connected,
Excellent advice!
Glad it was helpful!
This is really helpful video for a guy who self taught like me , thanks for making this video stephen 👏🙌🙌
Glad you liked it!
An excellent video on this topic !!
Glad you liked it
That's what I need to know, thanks for that video
No problem!
This method really helped me out.
Good to hear!
Great video
excellent demo
Thank you!
a teacher once said, the problem is not this drawing, the problem is all those drawings you are not doing because of this one
Love that.
Great Video and sharing, thank you.
Thank you too!
Great advice!
Glad it was helpful!
Awsome🎉
I followed along drawing this with you! It didn’t turn out as good obviously but I learned a lot from your advice!
That's great!
there is another, probably the most important issue in this matter that no one talks about. the sheet of paper should be parallel to the eyes. if you draw at an angle or on a flat table, all proportions can be disturbed.
This was helpful!
I subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Mind blown! This is like discovering a missing jigsaw piece under the sofa! I shall totally be adding this stage into my workflow from now on! Thanks 🤍
No worries- thanks for watching!
Thank you so much 😅
You're welcome!
I agree i use this method just naturally. Nice to know it is actually helpful for others. I always have to start with the eyes after i simplify the shape of the face and then focus on the other features after i get the eyes. Just something i have always done
Anyway, been watcNice tutorialng your videos for a wNice tutorialle now and it really helps to understang soft soft more
I can never deaw without watching this cideo

im going to do more of these...i can do a portrait using the grid method. but ivve always wanted to freehand accurately. its always wonky or flat. had some random luck here and there. but i want to turn luck into skill. i love your videos. ill watch more.
Practice=consistency. Best of luck!
Hello, your video helped me a lot, I wanted to know where I can get reference photos
Dear Sir,
Thankyou very much
I feel I must take much more time unless and the portrait comes out perfect to give our family group a great Surprise
awesome!
Thanks!
It's amazing video and very valuable information but most of all for me is the way that you are explaining it. Not everyone who can draw knows how to transfer their knowledge. I will definitely follow you and take you as my future teacher
Glad it was helpful!
Where do you get these photos?
i was so into realism and lost in detail. now my mind set is changed. Thanks
You're very welcome!

Thanks for the sub!
Tnk u , stephen bauman i learned so much from you, so plss post more videos, tutorials on youtube,
hi monz.... lets connected, ILove drawing..
Amazing skill. I’d give anything to be able to do that.
You can do it. The secret is the same for everyone...........practice, practice, practice! Give yourself permission to try and then DON"T STOP.
Spending more time on early stage with blocking n placement will surely make it easier for later stage of sketching.
Definitely.
Am starting out and I guess with practice ☺️ will get there
Only way to do it :)
thank you so much for so many valuable tips! i hope to see something about midtones like this video, it would be crazy fun to watch.
Thanks for the idea!
