I’ve watched hundreds of videos trying to teach myself to draw bc I know it will make my paintings better, but drawing just feels like such a hassle and all the approaches I’ve learned result in drawing a bunch of shapes and lines to get structure only to erase them later. This is the first time I’ve seen an approach that beautifully incorporates blocking in structures without erasing, much like a painter would. I’ve never felt so inspired to draw. Thank you!!

I love how much care you put into each stroke. Beautiful drawing and process.

Oh my gosh!!! I think I held my breath through so much of watching this...in awe!! Thank youuuuuuuu so much for sharing your skill with us!! 🙏❤

Thanks to your realist times and your comments it help me understand how you’re painting and how you used your extra care and materials. .. you paint as the old masters.

Just wonderful.....I learned so much! Thank you!

The girl in the picture is 80% different in your sketch besides you sketching is amazingly beautiful and full of techniques. This is one of the best sketching video I have every seen. Thank you for sharing your art work with others. I love it and I like it.

Mister Nguyen...you are a Master of Arts 🎭...😀😂 I really enjoyed it, you have a wonderful drawing technique and a great ability to draw the all the contours of the facial expression. I am amazing 😉 with your art is just beautiful. I am also an artist 👨‍🎤 but still lot to learn, I really love it, I am passionate about art especially portraiture and live models, ART is the ENERGY of the Human SOUL, and the best of all when you are PASSIONATE about what you love to do, everything comes to you but still have to work hard 😓 to make it happen 😎🤓😅😂. THANKS 🙏 Nguyen for your great 👍 art and to inspired me more than ever 😍🤓

I was looking at the structure and shapes compared to the reference and realized I'm still letting color and values influence my shapes. I think I know the next area of study I will pursue. Thanks.

Excelent ! You encourage me to do it. Thanks man

Great work.! thanks so much for sharing it.

Always amazing to me.

Gracias excelente obra de arte

Your videos helped so much i wish i could show u my first pastel portrait and read ur critics 💚💚💚💚💚💚 thanx soooo much

Just found you and oooh so glad I did. There is some wonderful drawing coming from the Orient just now and this is up there with the best, and so generous to have reference photo AND show the skull. As an extra bonus, I see you are a pastel list,a nice change from charcoal. Is it the lighting/ video that makes the white so dominant? I am thinking a slightly warm light grey might look more natural? Wonderful demo, thank you.

excelente- maestro , gracias ! Desde colombia
