    Hi everyone! Here's a drawing tutorial video showing how I draw skin texture. I've been using this method for a few of my recent drawings and I really wanted to share it with you. It's a fun and relaxing way to approach this type of drawing and it's helped me a lot. I really hope this video helps out in some way. Be sure to let me know what you think - and feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions for future videos.
    Thank you so much for the amazing support! Hope you're having an awesome day. :)
    -Chris

    What I like about you is that you say that we could use whatever, and you don't say, "You need Faber Castell pencils, blending sticks ONLY, and very heavy paper." I respect that. Keep doing what you do.

    • @LethalChris1
      @LethalChris1  6 ปีที่แล้ว +55

      Thanks so much. :) I think it's really important not to worry about specific art supplies. Drawing is so fun and it's easily accessible with any paper and pencils/pens. Thanks again!

    • @carriecake_
      @carriecake_ 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      LethalChris Drawing Yes, I've noticed that some people think that it's all about the art supplies, (I used to think that myself), but it's really all about how you make do with the supplies given.

    • @LindaGailLamb.0808
      @LindaGailLamb.0808 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      LethalChris Drawing & Carrie Bowes I think it depends partly on who or what the art is for. If you're doing a professional piece for sale or commission, naturally you use the best supplies you can manage, and price according to that and the buyer. If your art is more for fun and hobby, for yourself and friends, then premium (and premium-priced!) supplies are less important. And I've seen some videos where artists do a "cheap art supplies challenge", and do amazing things with whatever they use. It's not always what you use, but how and what you do with it.

    • @Seamo57
      @Seamo57 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Carrie Bowes Exactly, being a professional artist for several years, I happened upon this video and I strongly agree. There are definitely some things that will help you out, but it’s different for everyone… You can get the exact same techniques with cheap &/or homemade tools, nothing expensive, especially when you’re talking about Graphite drawings!
      However it does take practice…

    • @TheAardvaak
      @TheAardvaak 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This isn't exclusive to drawing but any creative subject......talent will ALWAYS trump materials or equipment....drawing, sculpture, music, sport etc by all means use the same stuff as your 'role models'' but if you have talent it will show regardless.....

  • @jaysysumakaRatMaster3
    @jaysysumakaRatMaster3 5 ปีที่แล้ว +68

    From someone who once enjoyed drawing as a kid and can truly appreciate the skill that goes into drawing. I must admit I was just mesmerised in watching... truly amazed at the end result and am seriously contemplating starting to draw again in my 40s just as a creative release.

    Awesome work! Your videos make me wish I had stuck with my art talents in school. 2002 or 2003 I had taken a commercial illustration class and based on that experience I decided that a career in art wasn’t for me. Not because I didn’t have talent. But because I didn’t see enough “career opportunities”. Maybe I will dust off my art supplies and give it another try. Thanks for your inspiring videos. I especially like to see your progression from 5 years ago to now!

    thanks for the video! I find that my line work is adequate in that from a few feet away I can create realism with just pencil, however when i try to refine it, and smooth the pencil, it gets weird and cloudy. This method is really quite interesting and tackles that problem well

  • @mr.pizzamarlon
    @mr.pizzamarlon 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I ran into this video and I was floored by your details. I'm pretty detailed, well, so I thought, until I saw this video haha! Great tutorial on skin and love your honesty that we don't need expensive tools. I tell people the same thing. It's not the tools but the artist. A masterpiece can be created even with a Crayola box on school writing paper. You have my respect 👌

    Normally, I am very against blending with anything other than organic graphite, but you’ve shown a wonderful display of shading with the blend tool. Very well done. I’d still highly recommend not using your fingers, they tend to leave unintentionally smudges that can be hard to remove if it’s in an unwanted spot.
