@@LanaGloschatArt I'm a complete novice at drawing and I started learning to draw portraits at 51yrs old...so I have a lot to learn. My biggest take away was focusing more on a 3d structural head than starting right away on details, like pupils, eyelashes, etc. Also, concentrating on values right away while drawing. I have been saving my "shading" for last.
Thanks a lot for sharing your tips. I am also a portrait artist. I work in oils. I would like to work in color pencils as it is light to carry while traveling. I would like to know the white pencil you used for high lights and the liquid you used for mixing the color on the paper. 🙏💖
There was no white i this drawing or solvent, but when I use those products I use the white from this line: amzn.to/3CTakWC and I use Odorless mineral spirits (gamsol or eco house are good options)
1. Skipping the planning phase 2. Starting with features rather than a 3D model of head. Lumis method 3. Being too emotionally attached to first layer. Correct and edit wth a critical eye. 4. Ignoring shadow shapes. Make sure structure and framework are in right places. 5. Spending too much time rendering details rather than focusing on facial structure and geometry. 6. Being unwilling to fix mistakes when you notice them. 7. Not practicing enough.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you for sharing your expertise! God bless you.
thanks for watching and for your support

Hi Lana. Your link to your courses isn't working.
Thanks for letting me know. I have made some website changes lately so that’s probably why. I will look into it!
@@LanaGloschatArt you're welcome. I just sent you a message via your website so you can ignore that one
hi, so your starting point is using the Loomis method.
Yes! It’s mostly the Loomis method, with a couple tweaks and personal adjustments I have made to the method over the years.
Loomis heads. Must sketch more Loomis heads....
They are a lot of fun and are the key to mastering portraits for sure! keep at it!
I'm guilty on that. It is good enough!. .No. is NOT...
Ha ha 😂 we all are sometimes. It happens less and less as we build up our attention span
