@@jasoncullmann157 2020, lost my job, moved back in with my parents, had nothing else to do. I always wanted to invest in my art skills but didn't have the time. I found this channel and learned a lot! This channel helped me build the foundation. Now I can understand and implement many art concepts. Remember to sign up for his free paint week.

Same here and l don't even really paint. I do draw though

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

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.

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.

Happy to help!

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?

ah yes, the ole "preserve your drawing" issue. #1 reason I went to freehand. Much harder to get likeness but it truely so much more alive.

can someone recommend a free app/online tool to easily break the reference picture down into values?

Or you can practice. Grids are for children. Just as well photo copy it onto the canvas.
