3 Ways To Get An Accurate Drawing For A Portrait Painting And Their Pros And Cons

Even after 4 years, I am still watching this channel.

Sight sizing & proportional measuring is a good skill to have especially when working from life :) If you have problems with value & are working from a photograph, convert it to grey scale or print it out in B&W in addition to your full color reference. In life drawing situations, red rubilith (a piece of red tinted plastic) makes a good filter viewfinder that makes seeing the values easier since it obscures the color & details similar to squinting. (Just tricks I learned in a classical atelier ) A simple rule that can be helpful is change of plane, change of value. So many different approaches to drawing & painting, use what works for you :D

Using Faber castle Aqua color pencils let's you wipe away the grid with water once your reference is blocked in. Game changer for me.

This guy is awfully good looking for a skilled artist. lol. Great video. Thanks

Dude, I searched for you to come say how dope you are as an actor. Then I meet you painting, like wth. You are too dope.

I'm consistently learning from you. Thank you so much for all of the time and energy you put into your content and courses. Always helpful and valuable.

like a sculpture! 🤯 That gave me an epiphany type of experience 😂 Thanks🙏🏾 I love your channel and style of teaching.👏🏽✨

I personally use acrylic paint and your videos are still very helpful for me! You explain everything so well

Thanks Chris!! Looking forward to the class. I won't be there on May 6th since my husband and I will be celebrating our 40th anniv. But, I will watch the repeat. You are a great teacher.

Can you please do a tutorial for using acrylic?

This was a very helpful video as I’ve been focusing on portraits these last few months. Looking forward to paint week!

Thank you for building my confidence 🙏

Great video Chris - very helpful, thanks!!

Hey your very good using the Loomis method I love the loomise books please do more on loomise step by step please thank you do front view and side view

Thank you so much 😊

Just FYI, where I'm from we call it proportions instead of dimensions. Love your videos they are crazy helpful!

Lots of good info, thank you! 😊

Thankyou for sharing that iPhone tip. I had noooo idea 😂 ugh I could have saved myself so much time

What I mainly learned from portrait art is if you want an expressive result, don’t finish a painting, if you don’t, finish it 😅

What is the name if the book about the Loomis head method?
