Even though my art style is less realistic, this really helps with correct face proportions, since i've really struggled on having my faces look good!!

Marc you are supremely hilarious. What a great idea to give out names to our common mistakes. Much less scary and overwhelming that way. The Beavis.....LMAO. The Linus...rolling on the floor. Admiral accomplishment in making a video that is appealing to those that haven't been in a class with you. You little genius you.

This is a great tutorial, Marc! These days, I think my biggest cavat is the Bevis. But, as a sign of respect, I will call you Professor. See, I took your class back in 2010 at SMC (John Gilbert Mutter sound familiar?). It's cool to see these fantastic demos being catalogued on your channel. For anyone who's able to, I highly recommend taking Marc's class -- he's the absolute grand master.

Thanks! This one was super fun to make, and I think the naming of common errors (and a bit of teasing) are underutilized teaching tools.

Great video life changing can't count the times I've watched it. Written down the steps put them on the chart on the wall right in front of my face so I can't make them over and over.. thank you so much for the way you did it with the Beavis and the butthead Etc it made it so graphic and easy to understand. I'm drawing at least a portrait of day until I get the process and the steps down. If only I had seen this sooner I would have avoided dozens of bad drawings struggling to make them right I would have had your steps to follow and things would have gone smoothly thanks again

Thank you Vladimir! No, my voice is not sped up here. I tend to speak very quickly. A few non-native speakers have asked me to slow down, and I'm trying (but mostly not succeeding).

Hello I just found your channel! Very informative. Thanks for sharing!! My question: I drew a picture for someone using charcoal and graphite. After I finished they changed their mind about the closed mouth smile in the reference photo and requested a smile with teeth. Now the teeth look dirty/muddy from the eraser marks. Do you have any recommendations to whiten their smile. It was a beautiful drawing that may be ruined😢
@mkompan
@mkompan 8 ай бұрын
You’re welcome. Ugh, this is why I hate doing portrait commissions, even though I love drawing portraits. The simplest and least risky method is to get a white chalk pastel stick (Nupastel works well) and go over the “dirty” areas. Make sure you erase as much of the charcoal underneath so it doesn’t get mixed in white. And of course, try it first on a separate drawing before attempting it. Best of luck!

Hi Patricia. Are you asking how to prevent the Kermit mistake when working very large? If your hands aren’t large enough to check the distances then yes, you can use a ruler.

I love your videos they really help me out; something I wanted to point out besides the art was your video I noticed how you were talking fast it sounded kinda like you where reading it from scripted lolol in my ears but whatever just a heads up be yourself & don’t compare yourself to other KZfaqrs 👍👍👍😎😁
@mkompan
@mkompan 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yes, the videos are scripted, and I do talk too fast at times. It’s something I’m trying to work on, but everyone has a natural pace and cadence and these things are not easily undone. Plus some people actually like my rapid fire delivery. :) For those that can’t keep up, I recommend watching at .75 speed, or better yet for my viewership, viewing it multiple times.
