Amazing video, very useful for beginners! I own the Loomis method book, but I had never heard about the other books you´ve mentionned, I´m definitely going to give it a go! As for studying sculptures and the masters, it is something that all the most skilled contemporary artists I know of speak about! I´ve personally never tried, it´s the beginner´s temptation to just skip the steps and draw whatever you want believing yours skills will magically improve. I guess it works for some people, but I it is most likely the way to go if you want to up your game!

@laschizo thanks so much for the appreciation and insights! I can totally relate because I also avoided studying fundamentals like anatomy, drawing from sculptures and masters initially. And it was only after I realised I wasn't making any progress drawing the same type of references from pinterest that I actually said to myself you know what, I'm not going to reinvent the wheel here and let's just stick to what's worked for artists for the past 200 years 😅 You should definitely give it a try and I wish you good luck in your art journey 😊☘️

You should absolutely keep up the work on YT. I really love the light touch you have with your pencil. This video greatly summarises the mindset required when drawing portraits, or anything volumetric for that matters. Big shapes, proportion and structure ❤. Subscribed

I switched from sketchbooks to cheap a4 papers a while back because I was being too precious with my drawings. I actually like the smooth texture that you get with these and I buy the 90 or 110 gram paper stacks so I can make some corrections without ruining the drawing. 🙂

@ammardraws

Thanks so much for the kind words! ☺️ It would be a privilege for me to make content that helps you in your art journey in a small way. 💌 When I started drawing faces, I wanted to draw my favorite characters from the movies and famous celebrities and I got really frustrated when I was unable to get the resemblance right. Initially what I found helpful was to not obsess too much about likeness when I was just starting to learn the basics about portraiture like the Loomis Method and anatomy. And I think as a beginner it can be very liberating to draw faces of strangers so you don't feel the need to make your drawing to look exactly like the reference. With that said, I think drawing the likeness well without using a grid depends on your ability to draw the basic structure well in terms of basic shapes (such as using the loomis method), knowing the basic proportions of the average face, and identifying how a particular face differs from those average proportions. If you're interested, I wrote a blog post about tips for drawing the likeness in portraits if you're interested bingedrawing.com/portrait/tips-for-improving-likeness/ I hope this is semi-helpful to you. Good luck and have fun drawing! 🍀

do u use visualizing when you look at the paper? ie imagining a head on the paper when it is still empty or something like that..?

@ammardraws

3 күн бұрын

I wouldn't quite say that I'm able to visualize the undrawn head on paper but sometimes I calculate some basic proportions like the thirds in my head without needing to draw guidelines if that makes any sense. It's interesting what you asked and I was recently watching an interview of the late Kim Jung Gi with Proko in which he talked about his process of visualising everything he draws inside a box drawn in perspective and I thought that was quite fascinating. Here's the link to the video if you're interested and he talks about his process 9 minutes onwards kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqGlqMSge7rVkdI.htmlfeature=shared
