I've just celebrated my 70th birthday and decided that I'd take up golf and find out whether there's any truth in my belief that I'm not artistic or creative and that I can't draw. I've trawled KZread looking for tutorials and stumbled upon this this afternoon. This man's a genius. I'm so envious of Yong Chen's talent. I definitely feel inspired to give drawing a try. If I succeed it will be down to this man.

What a lovely phrase - “we try to enjoy the creative process”

WOW, So Beautiful drawing, congratulations, Wishing you more and more success, Best regards 💜

You're a great teacher. Such a wonderful explanation. It's extremely helpful. Thank you! 😊

You have just made portrait painting so much more easy to understand. Wonderful tutorial. I learned a lot. Thank you

There is so much information here which, to be honest, is not the way I would be explain it as he does here. And yet the technique in how he explains the composition is not what would come to me naturally; my eyes have been truly opened. At 06:00 he is already showing so much likeness of the subject. He shows *exactly* how it should be done. Being shown techniques like this is worth so, so much in the early days of using charcol ... and I have yet to experience it at any level. This guy is a valuable and learned guy and he's worth a Sub. Thank you for sharing this. ~F~

I love you man. Thank you for the constant optimism throughout your thoughts.

What a great lesson. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge, in an especially clear way to follow.

Beautiful value work! I love the working from light to dark in a soft and subtle manner-masterful. Thank you so much for sharing!

i just love the way you teach. for beginners like me this tutorial is priceless, learned so much in less than an hour. grateful fan.

Thank you for reigniting my understanding and vision for sketching! You have wonderful teaching skill. Thanks again

This is really helpful,so clear and helps me progress.Love this video lesson, hope you do more of these.Thank you so much.✨

THIS IS AN AMAZING DESCRIPTION OF A PORTRAIT. IT IS SO EASY TO FOLLOW!!

Wonderful information. Thank you for your time

@10:28 "Again, you don't have to do exactly what the photo reference [is] giving you." I agree totally with the master. This is what makes it art; it's your interpretation of the reference or subject. It's also what makes it enjoyable and interesting.

This is the best advice I ever gotten👍🏻
