"this will sound confusing.. but we are not drawing person.. we are drawing shapes and make people think about the person" - this was best part of whole session!!

"Oh, I forgot the ear" Draws ear in a simple stroke and look exactly like in the picture. There's no errors in art, only beautiful mistakes

The fact that you make statements like "it looks like i got that right", and that you openly admitted you had forgotten the ear highlight a rather important fact: people make mistakes. I took art classes with people who never openly stated their mistakes, so most of the students built up an image of the teacher as someone who is able to draw perfectly without effort or error, and that is very intimidating for most people. You show people that mistakes are ok, that they can be corrected, and that you can learn from it.

This is better than art school. You can watch and learn any time you want and it does not cost a fortune and the teacher is better. My friend has a masters in art. I told her "come to my house and let's pump out commission portraits and make a small fortune. She said: "I don't know how to draw face's, only figures".

I've been watching quite a lot of videos on the steps to draw a portrait of a face, but none of them are better than this one. The steps are very clear and you do it step by step without being in a rush! I love your art and your speech is incredible! I loved the part where you say "We are not drawing a person but shapes to make other people think its a person "! :)

No grids. No side-by-side same size drawing. No construction of cylindars and circles. Real world practicality. The students are lucky to have him as a teacher. Like the techniques and the tips he demonstrates.

I wanted to draw my grandmother's portrait, and had given it 2 attempts already, looking at various vedios trying to use their techniques, which I obviously couldn't execute, but only u talk about the most important thing : attention to able to see what u want n not getting caught up! Also your style helps me to not take it too seriously, and draw loosely and enjoy the process... which in turn relaxes my mind helping it keep focus... Just fantastic ❤️

Your drawing portrait instruction videos are the best I'v found on you tube. I am a professional watercolor artist and you are making me get behind on my commission work because when I watch your videos, it makes me want to draw for fun. Back in the day, we did not have videos or even other artist's to watch. We had to just learn on our own. You are a GREAT teacher.

Thank u @Yong Chen now i can feel more comfortable usin charcoal pencils, n charcoal sticks now without feelin scared anymore thanks for showin it step by step because some ppl on here dont never show or explain step by step how they draw their artwork or how to use certain shapes wen drawing this really helps im recently startin back drawing again takin it one day at a time

@YongChen 8 жыл бұрын

+Krissi Using charcoal sticks need to use larger paper, commonly we use 18x24" drawing or charcoal paper, secondary, practice your charcoal pencil and charcoal sticks with different pressures, sometimes lighter, sometimes pressing more to make darker marks. Also, try the different hard, medium and soft charcoal, you may find some is easier than others. Have fun, and thank you for commenting.
