Why would anyone thumb this down... This is a great concept thanks for sharing this. I took a screen shot of grid and used the eyedropper tool to measure the values. A and B are Identical
I blocked the squares around A and B. Then i watched as my eyes adjusted to the light change OR SOMETHING! It was amazing cause all of a sudden they were the same color. I love it!
JD Hillberry i found interesting that the tonal card was a cool grey like the reference photo, but your drawing was a warm grey. Would it be possible to get the shading card tool in warm and cool grey?
Wow! This explains why, when I attempt to locate values or shades in a reference photo using Photo Shop, the values always appear to be too drastically dark. Now I see that these values are relative to the values surrounding them. I think you just changed my life. Thank you, JD!
Such a relieve. Thank you so much to make a normal educational video. Without the useless music and adds on. Besides choosing your words very chronological. Such a relieve. Subbed.
Wow, this is the second time am watching a tutorial on art from you and also learning a whole lot from you. Trust I can get that Gray value and scale finder online.
Yes. You can google Gray Scale Value Finder and it should be listed. Also, you could also order the Bonus Pack from my store. The Gray Scale Value Finder is included along with all the other tools demonstrated in this video. You'll find the Bonus Pack on this page: www.jdhillberrytutorials.com/supply-store.html I ship all over the world.
the issue with tissue : depends on the quality, but also don't use scented tissue. But you can also use it without it falling apart by rolling it tightly. It's a pretty efficient use if you don't have blending utensils available. just saying...
Hello, I enjoyed my first video of yours. Personal request: the transition with the floating letters and bells is distracting. Your delivery was very effective and professional. Thanks!
Real Life Intuition I can’t imagine the mess that would make on paper after oiling... or does it absorb into the chamois? If so, How long does full absorption take? I’d hate to ruin what I have so far. Thanks in advance for an answer. 😊
No no no. I have used chamois for years washing cars. When they get dirty, you can wash them in soap and water and then let them dry. You can make them soft again by working them in your hands. Do NOT put any kind of oil on the chamois.
I have a life hack. If you are painting or drawing a friend from a reference photo, edit the photo to raise the contrast up... that way the shadows on their face are super easy to spot, which will at least get you started.
Brilliant, thanks, please tell me why you have a bit of paper stuck to your hand when demonstrating the blending tools, i gottta know!!! Love your videos, much appreciated
One, to prevent accidental smudging from the palm rubbing on paper. Two, to prevent oils in the skin from contaminating the drawing paper. Skin oil is also why he never uses a finger as a smudging tool.
If you're painting digitally, this check is even easier to carry out. Use the eye dropper tool on one part you want to test, keep your eyes on the color swatch, and then click in the spot you want to compare it to. You'll usually see the color swatch jump up or down in value way more than you thought it would.
Awesome technique,A+ on this tutorial ‼️By the way, where does one come across this bamboo material ? ThankYou very much and keep up your great videos 👍
While I enjoyed wending my way thru your videos, I doubt, unless you come here to the mid-east coast that I will be able to take advantage of your teaching. I need to learn the basics of realistic drawing...being more of a cartoonist...and wishing for more...
is the bamboo sheet available in stores or online? what is it actually called. This seems like a very vood blending tool for making homeade graphite transfer paper for paintings.
+PokArt Each blender I demonstrate will create a different texture and can be used to create much more realistic looking art. Blinding with fingers can leave oils behind on your paper and make creating smooth textures impossible. At around the 1:30 mark of the video below, I demonstrate the problems you can have with blending with your fingers. th-cam.com/video/kKU8oG4zVMA/w-d-xo.htmlm30s
I didn´t see the illusion. It's pretty logical that the shadow part is darker, as is the dark squares outside of the shadow. I just don't get the "illusion" part
Thanks for spreading one of the few real lessons I learned in art school. "Don't draw what you THINK you see, draw what you ACTUALLY see." Well done, sir.
This video was very helpful. I always suspected that my perception of gray values was not absolute and depended too heavily on the adjacent shading. The insight that reflected light areas are perceived to be as bright as halftones but are actually darker is key. People use blending sticks now but the aspects of Chamois, felt and bamboo are interesting, especially when working with charcoal as charcoal probably makes a blending stick spent in a few passes.
The fact that you can produce a drawing that realistic,proves to me at least, that you are 10+ as an artist..( it only goes to 10+ ) Thank you for this tutorial.. Best wishes Bill
I just went in to the Draw program, that came with my computer, and you can make a card like that with any color, I am not going to get any work done today. I will be making some cards and drawing.
Funny timing. Just today, I opened a roll of bamboo cloth I bought for the kitchen (which I’ve had in a drawer for months) while in the process of trying to ‘up’ my sketching skills. Love those synchronicities ✌️
Wow!!! That is an incredible effect you show simply and I'm sure will help me leaps and bounds next time I aspire in my imagination what it would be like to be an artist struggling with chiseling a human face sculpture one day, all the while that it's screaming.
After I took this class in college I went home and did mushrooms and created a completely messed up picture. It has nothing to do with what you’re talking about, but still that it why I remember this exact class. Lol

Hi JD. You have just blown my mind! Thank you for this much needed information. I am a painter and need some refreshers in my drawing technique.
Keri Sparenga HA! I know... That illusion blows my mind every time I do it! I'm glad it helped.

love the optical illusion on paper and blocks
Wow! You are so talented! Thank you for sharing your lessons!!! xo
That first visual trick blew my mind
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, JD. Its very kind of you. They are very helpful.

Great well done you got me interested in drawing again things i didn't learn in art school
I'm glad you are ready to get back into drawing again. Even if you just do it for fun it's so good for you. It's like meditation!
Hello,
I enjoyed my first video of yours.

Thanks!
I was TODAY years old when I learned this.
Thank you, so very much! 🤗🌼
Thanks for the tutorial,
Re: shammies - for cleaning leather shammies, you need saddle soap and linseed oil or lanolin.

Excellent info! Can't go wrong with this method.
Amazing drawing and great talking! Greetings
This is unbelievably helpful, thank you so much!☺️
The lightest shadows are darker than then darkest light parts.
Proko xd
LoL No!
Visited your website, you have amazing works Sir.

New to drawing. Never thought of those things. Thanks!
Great concepts! I need to try this techniques!
I think I met you some years ago in Minneapolis
Thank you!
may be this can help.. squint your eyes to try to blurry your vision then you will notice which one is darker.. A and B are same
much respect to you. inspirational artist.
Thanks very much for posting this.
Thank you for sharing this with us! I look forward to learning more from you in the future. I will be following your tutorials soon. : )

Very well done Sir.
My mind is blown.
Try useing a cloth made from hemp
im learning so much from you...thank you.
As I watch I am wondering how silk or satin would work.
Thank you for taking the time, amazing work
Thanks for the informationnn!!!!

Where can you buy the bamboo cloth, please? Thanks!
This really is amazing , not my first it watching this 😁 .
I love it, thanks so much.
Great thank you JD
... and with power comes great responsibility...
Seriously though great tip!
Hi JD, bit late to this channel but great content. Could you advise if the bamboo blenders are standard bamboo cleaning towels or something different?
Hi Chris, Yes. Bambooie is the brand name
very informative, but I wonder: what is the difference between blending with these tissues and using fingers?
+PokArt Each blender I demonstrate will create a different texture and can be used to create much more realistic looking art. Blinding with fingers can leave oils behind on your paper and make creating smooth textures impossible. At around the 1:30 mark of the video below, I demonstrate the problems you can have with blending with your fingers. th-cam.com/video/kKU8oG4zVMA/w-d-xo.htmlm30s
thank you for explaining.
you're an awesome artist!
Definitely a good drawing to make some money place your bets what square is darker A or B step right up
Thank you very informative!😊
I screenshoted. Those squares are not the same. Why?
How would I get the value of his nose hairs correct?
Great video can you do a video about helping to draw hair thanks and keep it up :-)
wow power thanxx
Very interesting
Can you please do a how to draw a dog
Amazing💯
Wow, this is a great video! You have some valuable insights and your work is jaw-dropping. I'm going to check out the link =)
Link to bamboo chamois?
Amazing
I didn´t see the illusion. It's pretty logical that the shadow part is darker, as is the dark squares outside of the shadow. I just don't get the "illusion" part
The illusion is that it appears that square "A" lighter than the than square "B", when in reality, they are exactly the same value.
Awesome
Close one eye and squint, you can see the true tonal value. Great illusion though.
Amazing!!!
Thank you so much - very helpful info `- i have subscribed :-D
Chamois is best bamboo is second
THE BEST
How do I gat those blending tools?
From right here: www.jdhillberry.com/Drawing_Bonus_Video.htm
Carol Baer s
can u support us by subtitles to what u say
Agreed. Closed Captions really help for heard of hearing.
I don't like shammys, they are messy and clumsy. I prefer paper towels in different grains to suit my needs.
am I the only one that thinks the guy looks more real in his drawing than in his picture?
Ha! Thanks. That's the whole idea. I always try to make my drawings look better than the reference photo.
great video
Thanks for spreading one of the few real lessons I learned in art school. "Don't draw what you THINK you see, draw what you ACTUALLY see." Well done, sir.
1:45 I would like an equivalent tool like this but for my beliefs.
Thankfully you didn't draw the hair in the nose; yay for artistic license!
This video was very helpful. I always suspected that my perception of gray values was not absolute and depended too heavily on the adjacent shading. The insight that reflected light areas are perceived to be as bright as halftones but are actually darker is key. People use blending sticks now but the aspects of Chamois, felt and bamboo are interesting, especially when working with charcoal as charcoal probably makes a blending stick spent in a few passes.
I love blending sticks/stumps for smaller areas, but for bigger areas like backgrounds this method is very useful.
why buy chamois when you can use your fingers lol im kidding
Angeline Ocumen I’m not kidding lmao
Squinting while looking slightly away from them breaks the illusion, and A and B suddenly look like the same color. No idea why.
Mr. Hillberry, you HAVE to do a DVD where it shows you drawing some of your stuff, beginning to end. That would be invaluable to us artists =)
Totally agreed
Jason Fella is 100% right.
Please, create one.
You are a wonderful artist & teacher.
Yes. I have video tutorials available from my website here: www.jdhillberrytutorials.com
So much nose-hair.
But, yes. Same reason why fair-skinned people appear to have yellowish teeth, while dark-skinned people appear to have white teeth.
Too much smoking and coffee cause that not enough brushing also see a dentist clean your teeth.
@@user-pwfus Tards who think artificially whitened teeth are how teeth actually looks shouldn't be allowed in public. Much less act edgy on the web.
The fact that you can produce a drawing that realistic,proves to me at least, that you are 10+ as an artist..( it only goes to 10+ ) Thank you for this tutorial.. Best wishes Bill
Thank you for continuing your videos, you are an inspiration, you made me have the best grades in my drawings and become more self assured.
I found a greyscale finder online and I will print that out to use for my drawings
This tone value comparison of the nose is something you realize quick when retouching images in photoshop. Nice stuff!
try watching it with your peripheral vision... that's that i do, somehow if you do like that you see the correct values

Thanks JD......this bamboo sounds great, I see chamois getting the boot in about a year....blender poop .....great!

I want your demo using the proportional divider tool
There you go. Days or weeks of knowledge you would get in art school in 15 minutes. Awesome thank you
Lol.😆So true!👍
You can buy bamboo cloth, quite fine. I use a bamboo towel because it is compact and dries quick.
Wow!!! That is an incredible effect you show simply and I'm sure will help me leaps and bounds next time I aspire in my imagination what it would be like to be an artist struggling with chiseling a human face sculpture one day, all the while that it's screaming.
Very helpful video! I have been trying to find bamboo blenders for a half hour. Where can I find these?
After I took this class in college I went home and did mushrooms and created a completely messed up picture. It has nothing to do with what you’re talking about, but still that it why I remember this exact class. Lol
