Hi Andrew. I'm trying to understand how artists like yourself, Casey Baugh, David Jon Kasan et al. are able to get accurate placement of the eyes, nose and mouth and their actual length and size. I never see you, Casey Baugh or David Kassan extend their arm out holding the pencil/brush doing stick measuring to measure out the placement of the eyes, nose and mouth or measure the length of the mouth line. All I see you guys do is intuitive quick block ins with the brush determining the basic eye shadows and from there you immediately with a few strokes determine the length of the nose etc. Whereas me, on the other hand, I have to physically measure out the distance of the eye width between the eyes, the length of the eye and then measure out the distance of the bottom nose line etc. because I know that being only a few millimeters off the face looks distorted. How the hell do you guys do it without physically measuring the size of the eyes, nose and mouth and the distances between them by extending your arm out holding the pencil/brush as measuring tool ? This really bothers me and I don't understand what great artists like yourselves do in getting accuracy of the proportions. Painting on colour is the last thing that bothers me. I just don't understand how you, Casey Baugh and David Kassan do without actually measuring the distances. Thanks.

I cannot possibly comment on how Casey or David do it, because I am me. I will only speak to that. Whilst I know their work, I don't know them, and have not seen their tutorials. You would have noticed that here in this episode, I actually got it wrong. I did find a way to fix it. For me it's much more straight forward to fix something you now is wrong than to just nail it. My methodologies change all the time, and I don't have a set routine. This allows me to teach a wide variety of techniques. Here, I did the best I could in the block in, then after modelling I changed and tweaked things when I realised it was off. The trick is to identify where the painting is inaccurate. The exact method is in my bonus content available to subscribers on my website, but suffice to say I used a method that allowed for a direct comparison with my reference. This portrait was not painted from life, but in the studio, which allowed me the time to perfect it. I hope this helps. There is no direct way to approach this, find a way that works for you and perhaps you won't be as bothered. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks Andrew for taking the time to give an answer to my reply. All I can say is your block ins are more or less painted in accurately on the first attempt which explains why you are an excellent artist whereas people like me struggle and have to resort to nitty-picky measuring. Anyway, thanks for your time.

You just became my new teacher. I once heard from a life coach that when looking for a mentor or teacher, look for someone who has achieved the thing you want to achieve. You are the artist that I have wanted to be. I have spent nearly 19 years focused on parenting. Now is the time to go for my dreams! Thank you for the inspiration and the availability of instruction!

Andrew loves painting hyper-realistic paintings that are better than 90% of other artists and then saying "And now were done with the block-in/ now we can move onto the actual piece, etc. Mans just a different breed.

This is so inspiring. A shift in a few millimeters can cause a shift in the character - that's a real gem out there. You're great Andrew.

I just started painting a month or so ago. I'm 53. I'm in love with it and your channel is inspiration for me. I must say, I am impressed with your work and method of instruction. Thank you

Pablo B yeah I was thinking he was seriously crazy a couple of times in that video and thought I will carry on watching to see if he goes batshit crazy. I was so wrong! Wow! I think the sketch was ace, the second one had the likeness but yes those corrections were needed. now I see how I can repair my paintings that just stopped cos I knew it was slightly different to what I was aiming for. Thank you!!!

I caught myself smiling so big when Russel said he loves it & he sees his Dad. You did a super awesome job, Andrew. Such a beautiful painting. You’re amazing. ❤️🙌🏽😁

That's a sketch!? man, that's a masterpiece already.

Thank you for showing the mistakes and corrections. Often it seems that professional artists never make mistakes, and it can be quite depressing, when the time comes to face my own errors. Seeing how you corrected the mistakes was exceptionally educational.

Andrew telling us 100 hours of studio time is great it really helps an amateur like me understand why I might have an ok painting after2-3 hours. Lots of artists forget that and that it took 3 weeks. Thank you!

+Sandeep Soni , Producing shiny effects is all a trick in layering colours. There is no easy way to answer this. I would start by preserving your light tones. This means holding back on highlights, and allowing the brightest bright to be used at the end. If your painting becomes to washed out, too early, you can loose this tonal effect.

This portrait moved me to tears. You really nailed it! And the comment that was made about the high you get as an artist, makes me realise I really need to get back to the brushes. Always inspiring Andrew, Thankyou.

I love the professional production values of this episode as well as your technical process. Oh, and the finished product is amazing!

There are some abilities one sees in and of a person and you immediately know you are witnessing true brilliance, and not just simply a talent. A genius that does not come specifically from being taught by another, but something that is almost paranormal, otherworldly. I believe Andrew Tischler is one of the people who has that type of talent. These are the people who will save this wretched planet.

Great tutorial. As I am a beginner, I was so inspired by this. I am in the midst of trying to present my co-workers with a "Storytime" painting of a Librarian reading to the children in her class. I will be retiring next month and wanted to present it to them before I leave. I am so out of my element but watching tutorials helps me see all of the layers and light, etc. Thanks so much Andrew!!!!

Your are the modern Albrecht Dürer. A gift like this is only passed out every 500 years.

Fabulous I love the fact that you show us that you also have mental blocks and come across obstacles in your painting like most of us mere mortals Thank you for showing us your way of correcting those mistakes.

Thank you for the honesty and showing that mistakes are completely normal!!! even as a great artist!! never stop learning

Unbelievable! What an inspiration. Thank you!

I like how open you are about your mistakes and how hard it is to face them. Artists need to hear that kind of openness

Been an art teacher myself and an artist. After watching your videos, its like learning to paint all over again. Best

they should have a love button instead of just a like button- you're pretty amazing! You say things that I've said to myself, like 'all of a sudden it doesn't look like the person and can I save it." Your save was awesome. This painting is awesome.

How are you managing to remain so humble? Love your work

Really inspiring!

Thanks for sharing your artistic struggles. This is what really helps fellow artists to learn from one another. Unlike those 3-min. hyper-speeded-up videos that show off, but teach and share nothing! Your work is phenomenal; you are a master artist.

Here I am..so stressed of myself when I couldn't balance the distance of my portraits eyes..yet I'm amateur..now I realized even professional artist's do makes mistakes as well.. hats off to you Sir! Such a humble artist to admit the imperfections of his work..

Absolutely fantastic stuff mate! Can't wait to see more!

I sub'ed just from seeing the thumb nail before I even watched the video.

I love the honesty in the making of this work. It’s a real education to witness a great artist realise that the work has gone adrift and I think the way Andrew deals with it was the best solution. Brilliant final result, well done.

I really love how you openly talked about not being happy with your painting at some stage and taking us through your process of correcting it without restarting over again! And that """sketch""" of yours is what I would consider a freakin masterpiece on its own, at least if it came out of my brushes haha

This is the best tutorial I have ever seen. That you let us in on correcting your "mistakes" is very good. It gave me hope when I paint. Are you painting with oils?

@AndrewTischlerArt

I really enjoy Belgian linen. Canvas is okay too, but I prefer surfaces that have been pre-primed. This is just a convenience thing, but Claessons make one that is triple primed and ready to go with oil paint. It's pricey, but worth the investment if you are selling your work. Also, I custom stretch my work. I used to buy canvasses off the shelf, but I often found that they didn't make the sizes I wanted to use. So now I have lengths up in the studio to knock frames together and then stretch! Hope that helps. :)
