- A tutorial and sketch of how I paint faces in my sketchbook! Faces are one of the most daunting, but equally rewarding things to paint and draw! I also did a mini Q&A session too, and hope you find some of these topics interesting! #brbchasingdreams

A bit of a different kind of video today! I thought it would be fun and a bit interesting for me to try talking during one of my painting time lapses instead of just having pure music like my normal videos. What do you guys think or prefer?
kelogsloops both!!!!
talking :)
A little bit of both :)
I like both! I do prefer talking because we can see your creative process as you work!
kelogsloops I loooove this new type of video!!! ❤️
this painting looks gorgeous Q__Q
Laovaan approved by the watercolor god Q_Q
Oh my @
Omg
hey, I've seen your work too
you're awesome btw
ö
Can you do a tutorial on how to mix or get the colors that you want, especially for skin colors? thanks!
Please lol
This would be awesome to see, as this is where I struggle the most with my portraits xx
yes plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yessssss 🙏🙏🙏
a thousand times yes I need this tutorial
I'm so dumb, I bought watercolors and were afraid to color my sketches. 😂
It's not being dumb, it's absolutely normal ! I think we've all been there. I personally scan all my sketches before painting them, that way even if they turn out not to good, I still have the original sketch
BRUH WERE THE SAME
Bcuz I'm scared if I have mistakes xD
Me toooooo I’ve had them for months and I haven’t touched them yet
Don't forget to paint with watercolor just in appropriate paper!
You will end up soaking and making holes in a normal paper if you try to watercolor it.
we've all been there lol
Kelogsloops: you can do hundreds of layers if you want
My paper: uh no don't even think about it
ooo theres watercolor paper thats thicker and stuff!!! i heard taping down the paper helps too :)
i use the windsor and newton paper it is really thick and so good!
@@snakenthusiast I'm pretty sure its can't take hunds of layers as there's a limit for a thick paper & be practical
@@ddlcp huh
@@snakenthusiast theyre saying that even watercolour paper cant take a hundred layers since even that has a limit
I like you talking during the paintings.
YoongiGotMyHeart I thought the face on the right side is suga

HI FELLOW ARMY

Hi! These are beautiful! One tip for doing darker skin tones, try using a light wash of orange or purple-blue ish (for an even darker skintone ) for an under tone. It can bring more life to the skin. 😊
i also wanna learn how to draw better reality style!!! I love your drawing tone ^^
Omg how do you leave those tiny stunning highlights behind without painting on them? I'm trying so hard and everytime I get a good highlight I destroy it later on by mistake 😂😭 ps. I adore your art SO much
You can use white pens
or frisket!
You can use white ink/pens after you finish the painting OR use drawing gum (aka masking fluid) to cover the areas you want to protect. With gum, you just rub it off once the painting's dry! When using drawing gum, I suggest you put it on the paper before you start painting because I've noticed when you rub it off later, it lifts off any watercolor underneath. Also, wait for the gum to dry properly before painting (doesn't take too long) and if you don't get a drawing gum marker, you can always use brushes. To protect your brushes, wash them with soap before hand and don't rinse out the soap! Use them like that and then rinse them out again after use.
You can use white pens and practice ☺️
I think you can try candles
He has such a cute voice, I keep getting distracted in this lesson.
I agree..🙈
definitely.....
Lol he himself is so cute. When he shows his face in the middle of his other videos I forget what he was drawing before that.
First of all...I like you painting during drawings. I love your draws, you're amazing.
I am a beginner for english so forgive me if something is wrong in my message: I'm a student of Illustration and animation in Venezuela, you and your drawings inspire me to keep going, to practice more and get better in this horrible situation of my country.
I never miss a single update in your instagram.
A fan, with love, Camila.
Firstly, your english is perfectly fine Camila! Don't you worry :)
Thank you so much for supporting and following my work, it really made me smile so much to hear that you never miss my posts haha. Please continue to keep drawing and practicing and never give up!!
welp, it depends. If it purely for a productivity as in improvement of yourself then great, if it just an addiction / just a hand wavy i'll watch it then don't...
Could you make a face drawing tutorial? Your darwings are amazing !
Exactly my question haha
Ghada Emad Agreed:>
Yes please
up for this
Will you do a video on oil painting? I'm really curious!
a hundred times yes! i'm still new to oil, so i think it would be fun to document my learning experience with you guys! haha
What color u mix for skin tone ?
I have a difficult with color skin sometimes it's work and sometimes not
It's just red+yellow=orange+white=flesh(for me I use flesh as a skin tone and u can add a little bit of blue for more depth) or if you want it reddish or something then just put a bit more red or if you want it to be more darker (darker shade for flesh) then use brown/blue :)
If you don't know how to mix brown it's basically just all the primary colors but if you're failling to do it then here's a tip:
What I usually do:
red+yellow=orange+blue=brown
Blue+yellow=green+red=brown
What I sometimes fail to: (I think it's because I sometimes add too much blue or idrk)
blue+red=purple/violet+yellow=brown
also add a tiny bit of blue so the skin has more depth
If you wanna paint the skin like him then red+white
I use pink and yellow veery diluted for white skintones! But it totaly varies in the environment and the tone of the drawing. For example, sometimes I add a bit of purple/dark blue to make it more gray-ish and on the cool side, or more orange and brown for a tan.
It's a matter of trying. Mix, add color, add different amounts of whater and just try it. And also, take notes from the proportions and what color you used, if you get it wright you might want to replicate it later.
Never use white to make the colors brighter! Use water
Could you upload a video with you sketching the face? Your linework looks so neat. And your faces are so perfect. So simple, yet so realistic.
I AM INSPIRED
I loved how you included real-time clips for explaining your technique! I'm a huge fan of your work and I'm looking forward to seeing new uploads from you :)
What i love about your work is that its so detailed and beautiful, but at the same time its very simple. Your style is very distinctive and impressive!
this is the first video I've seen from you and suddenly I feel so inspired and excited about my own art. Thank you for sharing your story and making it all seem possible! It can be so scary to commit to making art even when it's what you love to do most. Thank you again! You are so talented and I can't wait to try these techniques
Your mind blowing work is the reason why I started water coloring! I've seen quite a lot of watercolor related TH-cam videos and your work most certainly shines through! As a suggestion, make a video on where to put highlights (or leaving dry spots) for different objects/materials since it's a quite delicate thing to master & is super important!
I remember watching this 4 years ago this really helped me out thx 👌✨ I'm a big fan of your work and the way you edit your videos
He is such a sweet and talented person. Loved watching and listening to him. 😊💓
I’m so thankful that you painted somebody of color WITH AN AFRO!!! In general, you just don’t see many pocs in water color or portraits. Sadly my alma mater didn’t even teach how to paint people with darker tones. And many schools don’t so I just appreciate it so much! Thank you!!!
Ooh! I love this! Please do more tutorials!
In my humble opinion, I find your voice relaxing. And lets face it, a mellow and relaxed mind is almost the very foundation of painting. I'm just starting my love for watercolor, and at 65 its better late than never! Your teaching is very easy to follow and makes me feel that even I can paint! Thank you so very much
I absolutely love how you do your faces. I started watercoloring late in life and I love it. I right now can only hope to be able to paint faces as you do. Thank you for this tutorial. I just found you recently and I just love your watercolors. Much appreciated. Thanks. Oh and yes I would love more videos like these!
I remember watching this 6 months ago, and kept applying it everyday. Thank you! I really needed this
I absolutely adored this video. You are my favorite artist for a long time now, and I'm always so thrilled to see your painting process. It always teaches me so much just to watch you paint, let alone get a whole tutorial from you
watercolor is fun. It's my favorite type of paint! ^^
I just adore you, i love the way you explain your inner monologue, and traverse ur way around a new technique. Thats exactly the stuff i was happy about with watercolor, i love it so much i want to do more. U did beautiful work, i hope to see more from you!
This was so amazing! I love watching you paint and explain some of your technique... I want to get back into watercolour and especially painting more complex paintings like this.
I loved this video, thanks Hieu :) I think the tutorial had just enough info (it could be overwhelming if it was too much at once) so then it was great to see more demo while listening to the Q&A
Do you think you will ever make smaller prints of your watercolor artworks that might be cheaper than the ones you have now? I've always wanted to purchase one of your watercolor prints, but they are too big for my limited wall space and being still in highschool, I have to ask my parents for money, and they aren't inclined to pay over 20 dollars for a piece of artwork (They are tech people). Love your artwork and thank you for seeing this comment if you have the time!
YES! I want to put out smaller works and I do apologize that right now the store only has larger & pricier works 😞
They were exhibition artworks so it didn't feel right to be shrinking them from their original sizes.
I'm loving you HaruMichi icon. (;
Meee 🌝
Awenda did you mean to reply to my wig flew to exo planet? cause this kinda has nothing to do with what this person said but yeah if not don’t come for me thanksssss
hey, im an artist in a techie family too! my parents try and hone my talent, although my mom doesnt reallt understand why i need so much colors and supplies haha
The way you use watercolor is so relaxing and it looks so fun
I love how positive and confident yet, still humble you are with your art. You seem professional but still relatable. A chill guy who does very beautiful detailed art. I like how you dont put yourself down or use self-deprecating humor. Just saying my thoughts here
thank you!
I personally am really amazed by your motivations and the passion in your voice. I one day hope to be as passionate and motivational as you in my own art so nonetheless I’m exited!
You have the most calming voice, loved watching this video and the skin tutorial was so helpful
I love how lively you are, gives me an asmr feel
Your voice is so soft and nice~~ i hope when you upload more youll add more commentary its great
This was great! Thank you, gonna branch out and try some portrait paint "sketches" so thanks for the inspiration.
Also wondering who is your watercolor inspiration or favorite artist to follow/ who inspires you?
He is so sweet and down to earth and his art is amazinggggg
I love your art style . its so smooth like im flowing away with the painting.
In future videos it would be super helpful if you could include your color palette used for painting skin
Beautiful! You make it look so easy :D I picked up watercolor this year and since I come from completely different mediums (oil and soft pastel) I had problems with taming the watercolor :D I accepted the fact that this probably is a battle I can't win so I'm now letting it be as it likes and am enjoying it a lot :)
Watercolour does what it wants! The trick is learning to anticipate that 👍
Im the opposite! I've always been so much more comfortable with watercolor ... pastels and oils on the other hand, I went to art school and was terrified of it! 😂😂
I'm the opposite lolol, I'm going to be switching to oil
You are genuinely so talented!!!
These portraits are lovely from start to finish and I'm fascinated watching your process. I was particularly drawn (unintentional pun!) to the way you rendered the hair textures, both on the top left and the top right faces. I especially love the soft cloud of the black girl's hair with the highlights and shapes suggesting the type of curls. Masterfully done!
This is beautiful! I really love your artwork. I'm gonna try this one. I do use watercolor but i never use it in portrait. May I ask what watercolor did you used in this video? Thanks!
So, why do you start your skin tones around the eyes? Is just personal preference or something you were taught? Or is something other reason? I haven't done anything skin related before, if that helps at all.
I think it's just a personal preference. For me, at least, starting out with the eyes gives me a reference to gauge upon how detailed and how much I need to build upon to balance the face. Probably because the eyes are the natural center of focus
Alright, thank you!
.
kelogsloops beautiful said words
This is by FARRRR the best watercolor tutorial I ve ever encountered!!! Keep it up!
What a beautiful work of art! I love your voice and how you talk idk, you sound so positive or so enthusiastic, i love it. And I love your art of course. Thank you for this tutorial, i’m gonna try this technique and see if I can improve painting faces 💕
Person: I just love your art!
Kelog: I love you too.
What brand or type of paintbrushes do you use? I want to start trying watercolor and I want to explore and get better at painting.
You were my first inspiration for watercolor and I constantly watch your videos. Thank u for making videos like these. I really enjoy them and your artwork.
It would be a dream for you to respond to my question.
From, Jade
right now, my favourite brushes are the Kolinsky brushes from Trekell (the black ones you see in this video). they hold a great amount of water and pigment, so its easier for washes and big applications of paint.
if you want to start out with watercolour, i highly recommend going for synthetic taklon brushes instead as they are a lot more affordable!
I hope that helps!
Ps. At what age did u start drawing or painting?
Yes, it helps.
Thank you✌
@Jade Grant, it doesn’t matter at what age you start, it’s about how long you’ve drawn. Such as drawing daily for a year rather than painting every few times for years
FlyingCookies soooo true 👍🏼
i just started learning watercolours yesterday, and i am SO BLESSED that youtube suggested your vid to me. your style is absolutely stunning and this tutorial was definitely really helpful! thank you for making these : )
your voice is so calming 🍃
Hi i'm 14. Art its my whole live and i'm going to study arts, but i'm too shy to have any social media and post my drawigs there.
Same here art is my life all forms but especially painting and drawing. Posting your art work may encourage people that also feel hesitant about sharing their work. 😊👍🏾
Whatever you do I’ll support u
SAME
Well if you do think that someone really would buy your art/you're improvised then give it a try!If you'll ever have one tell me your user i'll try to share and support your account :)
Pls.....I would love to watch it😊😊😊
جميل جدا 😀
I love your watercolour tutorials more more more! they're so beautiful and informative
I really like your art style and this video. I love the way you talk. Your voice is really calming and soothing, not too fast and very clear. Please make more similar videos!!!
6:18 thats funny bc i used to have a fish named “dog” HAHAHA rip
The king of Watercolour revealed his secret! May be just now I can learn.
I just love your art techniques, and your art style is totally amazing.
Your videos are the best way to start my morning.
Hey Heiu! Can you tell your skin tone recipes?

hii 😴
Wasup
Me
Me!!!
BEN IVAN Hi! I'm Sky nice to meet you! (please be my friend, everyone I know dosent respect art!)
Love your tutorials - especially the faces but they are all so helpful. Thank you 😊
love the texture u put in the end on faces and in the black power hair
Damn so beautiful I wish I have talent like you!
RIUKE CH well i think you can reach anything with practice
Lydia _ I have a nice coloring but I can't draw like this
What colors do you use to paint skin?
I just want to say, that your work is soo inspiring, and it was because of you that i fall in love with watercolor painting. . please continue doing these types of videos !
Just starting out on drawing portraits and using watercolors been at it for about a week found your video very very helpful I'm slowly layering and layering and layering and building up my colors thanks for the video man.
Your work is awesome as usual! What book is that?
Moleskine art book
pls let me know what kind pen/penvil you use that doesn't mix with water. thank youuuu
for my pencilwork I use STAEDTLER Mars graphite pencils!
+kelogsloops omg thank you very much.
Thank you for this tutorial, so super helpful! Question - are you applying watercolor over graphite here or ink? Thank you!
i love your art! and I love how transparent you are in your answers!
Your art is just absolutely gorgeous.
I would like to know where to download paint tool Sai safely ? Like the real version, not the cracked/free one that you find a bit everywhere ^^
And thank you for this tutorial ! You were the first person to make me into watercolours and I will never thank you enough for it ♡
I am really looking forward to what you will do in the future and to how you will grow as an artist ~
you can get it at www.systemax.jp/en/sai/ but it will cost you about 5400 yen. (the website looks old but its the official)
I downloaded it from deviantart, someone posted their files so others could get it free.
whenever i try to layer, the paint underneath reactivates and lifts :(
Try using synthetic brushes
Could be a bunch of things.
- do you let things dry completely before working on the next layer?
- is your paint prone to lifting?
- do you scrub or work heavily on the page?
- do you put paint down too thickly?
I hope you can figure it out.
you should wait for your first layer to dry and then put your next layer on top.
If thats not the problem, it may be the materials you use, e.g. paper, brush, paint
Maybe it’s gouache?
Thank you! Your art is amazing
I've just started to explore watercolor and skin was my biggest challenge. This helped me a lot! Thank you! 😊
What's the best affordable, beginner watercolor set?
hiiighly recommend koh-i-noor watercolour discs to starting out!
personally i really like cakes, i used the sakura koi pocket field sketch 24 set it comes with a waterbrush which i find very helpful, for tubes reeves is pretty basic and decent :)
I'm using the Windsor and Newton pocketbox set, it comes with 12 colours and a paintbrush, I think it's pretty good.
reeves watercolors are also really good, that's what i used to start off with. hope that helps lol
Thanks!
There’s only one problem here for me..
*I don’t know how to draw this good*
Don't be fooled, he's using photos.

Thank you sooooooo much for the sea surf tutorial! I guess I could've written on that vid but I saw this vid and this too looked like something I wanted to weigh in on. Love your work and the way you do what you do! I'm a 58 yr. old Mum and have drawn and painted my whole life but now, since I'm still loving art so much, its been made obvious to me that I should really develop my skills to a professional level. so your work matters to me. And i love your style and how gorgeous all of it is...loved the little boats in the waves birds eye view. Loved it. I used to be this prolific...then, somene said i should get a job and move out! So from that moment on, I had to hit the ground running and the work I had to get never left any time to do what I loved. I know alot of people feel this way. so...now that I've got one out of the hosue, (which by the way, I never wanted, he did!), I can take the time needed to practice and practice doing things in watercolor that I'd not thought of doing before. So thanks very much for your tutorials!
Thank You, I really learned alot. Painting is such a great expression of life I paint from my soul.
Whenever I add another layer after one dries, the paint always lifts up in at least one area and leaves a big splotch of white where the paper under is showing. I tried lifting excess watter thinking that it is caused by excess pooling but it seems like no matter what I do, the layer under messes up the one I'm working on, what do I do? I'm still just starting and I love the medium. I'm still not sure what I should do when this happens or how to avoid it. I often end up overworking the paper trying to solve it
H- Hewwo uwu This could be a case of your materials limiting your progress, when you use high quality watercolours and paper the underneith layers cannot be rubbed off to that degree.
Caitlin Brown I see, I'll have to exparament with them when I can. They were given to me from a friend because she got frustrated with them so I'll look into it. Thank you.
Great tutorial, I have a few questions 1) what are using for the white ink? 2) what are your basic skin colors? I look forward to seeing more tutorials and learning 😊
papercuts I'll have to check when I get home. I'm pretty sure they are pretty cheap because I wanted something to see if I'd like the medium better than acrylics. Thank you for the recommendations!
Eddie Uresti ha, I think you replied to the wrong comment accidentally
First!!!
these 'first' comments honestly make my day hahahaha
Mariel Ilagan lucky
i can relate when he talked about art friends. when i walked into this huge store full of art supplies anyone could possibly imagine, i wanted to cry because...its just amazing. i love shopping for art supplies.
Am I the only one who could be listening him to talk for hours about anything and would find it the most interesting thing in the world? I love how he explains, in addition to his art. One of my favorites channels!
how am i even supposed to paint faces when i can't even draw one 😭
anyways your art is beautiful *wipes tears*
when your trying to draw but look at others art:
yeah not gonna even bother anymore
yup i just love your art
It draws beautifully and quickly! When I edited the video with TimeLabs, I realized that I had too many strokes.
But you do not touch the same place many times. It's amazing!
It was nice to be able to see the diversity of pictures every time I changed the camera angle.
It was a lot of learning to me.
I do not paint with watercolors but draw with colored pencils. Your illustrations seem to have inspired me a lot.
I look forward to a good video in the future.
Sending a big kiss. Have a good day!
I know I am two years late, but I think you are afraid of the green color 😂😂
A dog named fish lmaoao
Ashwati Khanduri I wasn’t expecting that name so when he said that I burst out laughing 😭
These art tutorials make it seem so easy
this is so satisfying to watch omg
All this time I've been drawing with a pencil and too afraid to try and go into colors. I've watched so many video but this video right here I think just made me fall in love with water colors. I'm so stunned wow, honestly I got so into what you were doing that my heart kept pounding watching it !!! Wow what a beautiful thing you did there !
So glad I found your video. You answered every question I had about skin tones with watercolors. Thank you!
Your drawing style is so beautiful.
you are so talented and inspiring, its great and therapeutic in a way for me
