About me (bio) :
I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.
The material I use most of the time (not necessarily in this video) :

I'm learning academic drawing and this overview is very helpful. Especially as you said, the 'mass-in' was a skipped step for me. I was doing darks and highlights too early. Thanks!

This was a very helpful video! I instinctively have been starting with the block in, but skipped right to modeling since I don't have any formal education in art. I will start following these steps! Maybe it could help keep me from getting over whelmed by all the details. Thanks for all your content. I'm working my way through all your videos.

Thank you so much for reigniting my interest in cast and statue drawing, it’s nice to find someone who uses graphite and charcoal. I’m now learning more each time I draw.😊

I found your channel by accident and I was watching a few of your videos, I love them. I'm not a painter but I'm experimenting with watercolors and acrylic at the moment but I'm afraid to use oil paintings, you have a video for oil painting for beginners your gave us a beautiful explanation. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this series! I've come to the conclusion that accuracy is important no matter what style in which one draws/paints. I've used a number of methods to get the basic outline & then jumped to modeling & rendering with the expectation that the drawing was correct. I'm actually relieved to hear that it's common to not see some errors without some value & look forward to putting the mass-in into practice. And the plumb line is going to be very useful as a starting point. I'm excited about learning this method. Thank you for your wonderful instruction. I appreciate the time you've put into helping other artists improve their skills.

Merci beaucoup, Florent. These five stages are so important. Formerly I had only three (outlines, shadows, detail in the dark and spotlights). Now I can really see the difference and even recognise this approach in the art of others. Thank you very much for sharing your insights. 😊

Dear Florent, can you maybe share a photo of your workspace? I am mostly interested in the light setup that you use. I am currently working on a reorganization of my own drawing space and it would be very itneresting to see the setup of a professional artist when it comes to lights, layout and organization, best regards, Ben

For all interested: capitel marks and some notes [ 00:00 ] Introduction [ 01:26 ] Block-in - proportions, strictly 2D (construction lines as fundamentials of structure) [ 03:13 ] Mass-in - 2 values to seperate lights and shadows, transitional phase between 2D and 3D (aim for proportions and shapes, keep the shadows still in light grey and as flat shapes) [ 07:06 ] // become a patreon of Florent [ 07:37 ] Modeling - creating volume and the 3D-look (half-tones, full range of values) [ 09:44 ] Rendering (turning the form: soft, hard, lost edges, transition between the planes, be descriptive as possible) [ 11:37 ] Finishing and details - set accents for the visual appearance you want to achieve

This is so helpful! one idea to help out beginner's might be to distinguish a playlist that has an order of operations to it. something i've realized, as i've gone through all the great resources you've created, is that i'm not really sure how to efficiently chart the skills i work on to get to my goals. i think a lot of people are like me, people who are gifted at drawing but need to *seriously *hone in their technique, and want to move into oil painting as well. do you (or hey! any artists in the comment section please!) have an opinion an important order to work on skills? i feel in many areas i need to go back to 101 and i want to do so thoughtfully

@cynthiamarston2208 3 жыл бұрын

I joined Patron $10 a month and recently he said do a charcoal drawing of the painting project. A good one...all right proportions. I liked the suggestion because I stepped out of oil painting for a month to do charcoal for a month. First it makes me want to get it right because I might end up using it for a painting. I mostly have to size up too so I can skip doing that again by using the charcoal drawing as a reference ( be sure it’s right!) anyway I saw no body answered....it’s not exactly what you meant. Another girl on here said she decided to get back in to art because of Florent and she started doing charcoals ( said she sold some too) and the to painting.

Hi. Thank you for the video it inspires me to draw and you are an excellent teacher and a talented artist. I have a couple of graphite that I can use for applying this exercise but I couldn’t figure out which exactly to use if you could help me out so I can start that would be much appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏻

@AALTJE _KOOI that's what I thought / was taught- but if you look at the last couple of minutes, when he is going close-up on the cheek area, it shows his pencil is a 2 H in the closing section! My art teacher banned us from anything light than a B - I now find (years later) all my sketching muddy - due to this I believe! Where's me 2H gone...

@nancyloomis3046 Жыл бұрын

If from a photo and you don't want to struggle with this very good but more formal method of drawing, there's nothing wrong with doing a tracing to get your contours and proportions. You're not "cheating." But of course, for modeling something that you do live, you do need to learn how to eyeball your objects and this vid is very helpful for that.

to me , the sculpture head looks significantly wider then the drawing .So if you compare the width of the model from , say the tip of the nose to the back of the head and rotate 90 degrees from the bottom of the chin, the line is about the second break in the hair contour on the top of the head.Whereas in the drawing it goes roughly to the bottom of the hairline ie, closer to the fore head. If proportions are to be observed the height and width ratio are to be considered .

Hi guys, If anyone experienced with the atelier method could help: I really believe in the atelier method and next to copying these masters I am trying to learn how to draw real 3D basic geometric bodies, like spheres, from life. I bought several basic wooden shapes like cylinders, spheres etc and I put them on my table and try to copy them. But I am really struggling with getting the right proportions … Its so much harder than copying a picture on the wall for instance … at least for me. Does anyone experienced with the Atelier Method have advise? I use the finger method etc. but: It is hard if you just „sit“ in front of your object (I put it on my desk and start drawing) and try to copy this on, holding your sketchbook on your lap or leaning the sketchbook against the table edge for support … even if the object itself on the desk doesn‘t move at all. Perhaps the problem is that I am not drawing from a FIXED perspective/standpoint, but just hold my sketchbook somehow? on my lap, leaning against the desks edge etc? My goal here is to learn how to copy objects and study the shades etc … Hope someone can understand my problem 😢
