David Troung Vuong you are absolutely right, i started drawing about a year ago and i used to only draw anime faces and stuff like these when one good person told me i would eventually grow up and get bored with anime faces, i thought "why would i even listen to them" but now i draw so much realistic ballpoint pen drawings that i can hardly ever want to go back to draw anime, realism sure is fantastic and you never stop learning the more you draw

I've been teaching myself to draw for years in between raising my kids and working all the time. Because I've been limited with time and money it's been a slow process. Aside from reading book after book about drawing most of my training had been me copying photos or other drawings or just what's right in front of me by just sighting. I've never wanted to be encumbered by lots of tools. Just a drawing surface and a drawing tool. A few years ago I discovered You Tube and the wealth of knowledge being shared about drawing. But still no one showed me how to draw better the cc way I like to draw until I found your page. Since watching , your videos my skill level has exploded. Thank you.

Thank you so much Cameron. It's really great to hear that my videos are of help. We probably share similar backgrounds. I use to work full time and with kids, it's though to get things done on the side. Luckily, I've always been in the art field, though mostly 3D computer graphics as that's where the jobs are. So I haven't had much time for drawings. I feel lucky that I have the time now to draw again for my own sake. And sharing it and being able to help viewers like you means a lot to me. I love creating art.

naturally, this is exactly how I always do my portraits, I’m happy someone does the same too!

It's amazing how you broke down something that seemed very complicated into a very simple way to get the proportions exact; which is key to drawing a look-a-like from a photo. Thanks for sharing Wei!

this is fantastic! especially breaking it down to manageable chunks and practice lessons at the end. Thank you!

Thank you. Countless drawing books talk about seeing relations of an object. But rarely go into any real detail. This helped me understand much more thoroughly the *how* of finding and building these relations.

Shttt... The grid purists will hear you. Kidding. We should speak up, because I never found much success with grids, but when I stumbled upon this method it worked extremely well for me. Mr. Wei shows how it could be done properly - If you stick to the ratio between features, how could it go wrong? The human eye might be bad, use a ruler, then it would be exact. Why the objection?

Thank you so much for making this video. It is exactly what I have been looking for. The exercises at the end for practising measurements and angles are such a great idea, thanks again.

The essential issue with faces is that we bring a huge mental predilection for differentiating minute nuances. Exercises like this over time let the artist work in a detached, analytical manner, ignoring judgments like pretty or ugly; paradoxically, the end result generally comes closer to accurate rendering than if the artist is emotionally invested - explaining why "expressionism" is generally unflattering in portraiture.

love your channel man! great source of inspiration.

Art of Wei, This is an Excellent Video. I Highly Recommend this method for all artists wishing to recreate what they see accurately. I once had a project to reproduce a drawing as perfectly as possible about 23+ years ago. I thought the task was next to impossible without tracing - Tracing was not allowed and I was dead against tracing for any reason anyway. I used the same method this artist uses, but also measured with my pencil and finger. I thought I was a freak because I was the only art student that pulled of the assignment. The drawing made it to an art show. It really works extremely well. I will be looking for more videos by this artist.

This helped me so much! Probably the first time my drawing resembled the reference 😂

I used to draw constantly when I was younger and got so fed up with everyone telling me how and what to draw that I gave it up for years. I've recently been trying to get back into it and this is a fantastic tutorial, one of the only ones to really spark my interest. Thank you =)

Thank you for the tips they are absolutely useful!

I found that understanding and learning the Loomis method, coupled with the planes of the face or an Asaro head have helped me the most. A lot of my art recently have turned out looking exactly like the refences, and the planes of the face have helped me the most in this endeavor. Can't just draw lines and expect to get good, gotta understand what's underneath the face and what makes a face a face. Also gotta understand how the head turns and how to build it up from basic stuff. Can't build a house without structure, can't build structure without a foundation. Learn the loomis method as the foundation, then learn the planes of the face as the structure, then build your house. That's how it has worked for me at least.
