Hi, guys! I'm Emmylou...a Canadian, living in Ontario 🇨🇦🇵🇭:) I love drawing and oil painting (and striving to get better) and this channel is about my artistic journey:) 😃I'm also addicted to art books and art supplies so you will see that here, too😁
Other interests: reading, watching horror movies, sewing & knitting, photography

This has motivated me to definitely not do the exercises inside the book. At least not on the first try.
That’s a really good idea to do the exercises first on another sketchbook! You can rhenpractice a certain plate as much as you can!
Buy the book, guys. It's worth holding and having for yourself. All Korean, Japanese, and Chinese artist use morpho!
why are you focusing on your hand instead of the writing?
@@belphegor_dev unfortunately, the camera was on auto focus and kept the focus on my hand😞
I started art journaling during the global pandemic and need to get back to it. I am so proud of all your hardworking and your progress with knitting and all your creative endeavors. Well done. We need a catch up chat. LOL
Shon! So awesome to hear from you again🤗 and thank you soooo much for dropping and watching. We definitely have to catch up soon. Hope things are well with everyone. And that’s so awesome you’re journaling😀
@@EmmyMW 💛
I'm so excited for you. I have missed following along. So happy for you.
I love it. Congrats! 👏
Thank you so much🤗
Great review! This has persuaded me to buy this book even though it is black and white! Thanks so much for making me a better artists! (I still have to read the book but yeah)
Thank you so much for watching🤗 And I hope you end up loving this book as much as I do!
A good alternative for ordering Korean textbooks to TwoChois is HangeulPark. They have a larger selection of textbooks, the prices are lower since there's no mark-up, and (at least for my country) the shipping is cheaper too. The only thing is that HangeulPark doesn't have popular books like for the drama Goblin, but for textbooks I think they're a much better option.
Great follow up to the first video on the gospels. Love your enthusiasm for the products. I have the leather ones but have just ordered the paperback as well as, like you, I really want to make notes and highlight etc. and couldn’t bring myself to do it to the leather copies. I hope you enjoy this volume. I’m on my second reading already :)
Thank you for dropping by again and watching, Greg!🤗 I do so love this Bible series and was so tempted to buy the third one today when I visited our local Catholic store😁 And that is so awesome you're on your second reading of this already!!!! WOW! Fingers crossed I can finish the first volume this summer🤗 God bless.
I thought this was a great video and great overview of an excellent book. I find it a shame people have chosen to word comments as they have. Don’t let that knock your confidence or inspiration to make more great videos like this one. My very best regards Greg
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, Greg.🤗 It's great to hear that you enjoyed it, and honestly, every time I put out a video, I have to be prepared that it's not to everyone's cup of tea, but reading comments like yours is truly encouraging and am so grateful. My next video coming out will be showing Volume 2 of this beautiful Bible :)
@@EmmyMW I love these bibles and have just picked up the fourth edition to go with the other three. I’ll be interested to see your take on the volume 2. Did you get the paperback again?
@gregp716 I did😁 I’m trying to control myself and not buy 3 and 4 right away but we will see…😅
I have that Bargue book, so far I have drawn a foot. The one you did of the clothing folds would be great for me to do, to learn about drawing and shading clothing. I really struggle with fabric folds. Thanks for this video and the motivation.
Looking back at these drawings, I must admit that one with the clothing is probably one of my favourites. I also have issues with rendering fabric, and I learned a lot doing that:) And thanks so much for your comment and for watching the video!
New subscriber here. In northern New York between Massena and Plattsburgh. I got an exact copy of this gorgeous work for $8-10 all told and it was new/used. Hardly a blemish! Love it and I will check out some of your work. 😊
Thank you so much for the sub🤗 And you are soooo lucky to get it for that price! I’m so jealous 😅 I checked EBay before ordering and even used ones there were still kinda pricey…sigh….
Please don't take the Lord's name in vain. One person I know who is enthusiastic about the WOF Bible describes it as being great for people who find the Bible overwhelming and that it "spoon feeds" them in his words, I am not sure that is the right phrasing since it doesn't treat you like a baby or dumb it down but I think the idea is that it makes it feel easier to delve into for those who would have a hard time sitting down with the plain text.
I'm truly sorry if it has come across to viewers that I'm taking the Lord's name in vain by calling this Bible an art book and concentrating mostly on the "superficial" aspects of the Bible, namely the pieces of art in it. My channel being an art channel, my intent was to share my real-time reaction to the paintings, etchings, etc. and as you can see from the video, I was truly excited to see how the beauty of the art work reflects the beauty of the Word of God. To quote Bishop Barron, the "aesthetic beauty of art shows the power of God in Christ." And I do agree in the observation that WOF makes it easier for someone who might be intimidated with just reading plain text. WOF is an evangelical organization so this Bible making it easier for a non-Christian to at least open up a Bible and read is most likely intentional. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate it🤗
@@EmmyMW I don't know how art can be considered anything superficial when it's the most beautiful thing you can possibly have in this world capable of telling meaningful stories and bringing joy and inspiration to other peoples life and without it I would've more then likely taken my life by now. Art has genuinly helped me through some really rough shit in my life a whole lot more than religion ever did. In some areas of christianity like the pentacostal belief they actually teach that it's wrong for men and woman to wear certain clothing and look a specific way, like men are not to have long hair, woman are not to wear pants for any reason, neither are to wear jewlery or ear piercings of anykind etc. Then they try to shoe horn in some spirital crap about your body being some sort of temple for this "god" when in reality the whole focous around that is about as superficial as it gets. Not to be an attack on you, but I can't stand comments like the OP's who act like you can't talk about their precious spiritual book in any other way even if the referral is in good taste just because it's "the lords book" give me a break.
@@Ransome1690 Thank you soooo much for such an insightful comment. To be fair, I am not still totally sure with the OP's first sentence. I re-watched the video to see if I said something inappropriate and when I didn't hear anything that might be construed as offensive, I assumed that that's what she meant🤷🏽♀ And what you said about religion and some of its aspects totally resonated with me. As someone born Catholic, I've certainly had my ups and downs with how I felt about my faith, even at one point considering converting to something else. I am now in a place where I feel at peace with my relationship with Catholicism. And yes....I 100% agree with what you said about art being such an inspiration and a shining light for so many of us. Perhaps, "superficial" should not have been the word I used, but unfortunately, some do see it as such. Thank you so much again for your comment:)
GOOD JOB AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR PROGRESS. VERY VERY MOTIVATING VIDEO!!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment and for watching 🤗
I have this bible and I love it! Are you going to get the next volume? It looks so good!
I totally understand why you love it🤗 It really is a wonderful Bible. And yes…I’ve decided I’ll get Volume 2, knowing now how beautiful these volumes are! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🤗
No, that is not an art book. It has a few illustrations. That is all. Books have had illustrations since the invention of the printing press in 1440CE. An "art book" is something else entirely.
Thank you for taking the time to comment:) And yes...many people would probably agree with you that it's not an art book. I do, however, think it is, especially now that I've read some of the essays. It's the same way I consider (for example) Van Gogh's bio by Naifeh and Smith an art book even though it's a biography. It has only a few illustrations, but talk in detail about Van Gogh's process and art, so I learned a lot about art too. Word On FIre is kinda the same for me....especially after reading the essays. I learned about the art of some of the works of these artists, albeit the interpretation did have a religious slant🤗
Nice sharing new friend...have a lovely weekend😊👌
Thanks so much! You as well🤗
Nice just subscribed...
Thank you so much🤗
Im starting the same book and am just totally confused on how to use it. Do you just copy whats in the book, or do you copy it and try to memorize the anatomy at the same time?
Hey there! With these anatomy books, what I usually do is start off with a few master studies and just drawing the body part(s), and then do studies with each body part labelled. I didn't do it as much labelling with the Burne Hogarth as I previously worked with Artistic Anatomy though, but if it this is the first time someone is working with an anatomy-specific book, I would suggest doing more drawings while labelling each part to really remember them. HTH:)
nice video ^__^
Thank you so much for watching🤗
Lovely video review of this book. I love Juliette’s books & works in the Atelier. ❤😊I think you did an awesome job with the drawings. 👏👏
Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment, Lisa🤗 And yes...Juliette's books are truly amazing!
To be honest... They look aweful already in the morpho-book, i dont understand How that Will Hell anyone draw better. To teach someone draw besutifully i think they need to draw beautiful themself in the book. I searched for flip through drawing portrait atelier by juliette and found your video. I see that you have difficulty drawing What you SEE, they say many people draw What you think you see, not What you actually see because we have a way of THINKING something look a way they don't really. So if you haven't already there is a book called "drawing with the right side on the brain" look it up and see if it can be for you. I think it can. Also, you don't have enough values. You said you didn't really know what you did wrong. You kind of didn't have any midtones at all. Just light and shadow. So you need to add some more tones and learn to gradient :) there is a KZreadr called Jason Legendery art who I really like! He does videos where he doesn't use that many products/pens. I recently saw one about how you shade your portrait which was GREAT bc I want to be better at realistic portraits. He did a GREAT job saying/explaining how he draws and how you should do. Like layer 1 you use heavy body-pen, the lightest and he shows where to hold the pen and how it looks different depending on where you hold it! Layer 2. 2B & last layer 3 4B You blend every layer. I don't think you did this. And I think this will help you. Also he draws in circle instead, I think you should try that! He also said one smart think, why learn to draw the face by FREE HAND when
Ops pressed the wrong key. I was saying when you are already doing such a huge job trying to learn to shade correctly, getting it to look realistic. Then maybe you should freehand the face aswell, there is nothing wrong with tracing/transferring or even printing outlines. But I don't have a printer or anything. So I can't do that. But if you do, there is nothing wrong with waiting until you have learned the shading. Also adding charcoal powder, really adds another dimension. And lastly, remember to not do lines. The little light outlines you did you should shade away. Because no face and no body have any lines if you look at it. If you look at other peoples art, look especially on if they have done lines or not. You will see that everyone who has lines even like on the nose or around lips they will look like cartoon. And you will notice that no one who look realistic have any lines. That was the first best advice I got when I started :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and for the great tips and advice. I do have that Betty Edwards book, and I think it's time to re-visit it again🤗 I'll also check out that KZread channel you mentioned. As for the Morpho book, I actually really like the drawings in the book...I like how "sketchy" and dynamic they look. It really shows how art is so subjective, as one's pet peeve can be someone's cup of tea. Anyhoo, thanks again!
❤great show. Thank you
Thanks for watching 🤗
yes queen mom
🫢
Get his other books as well. His first book is the thickest has a lot more drawings. I got all of them except for his last three of clothes, animals, and head book, but I got is other seven.
I'm currently using the book for my sketchbook studies and it is great so I'll try to get the others for sure! That's awesome you got most of them. Thanks for watching🤗
Oh wow, what a wonderfully illustrated book. SO cool, I love how it has the feeling of someones personal notebook/journal. I picked up a children's book in Paris because I liked the illustrations they were so cool I could not pass it up. And you chose great music for it too. Thanks for sharing this! 👍🥰
Thanks for watching, Allie!🥰 And illustrated children's books are the best for illustrations for sure:) The artwork is always so whimsical and just a joy to flip through.
This looks like such an interesting book! So glad you allowed us to take a peek inside <3
Thanks so much for watching, Shannon🥰 and it really is such a unique book!
cool
Thanks!
Hi Emmy, thanks for the flip through! I've had this book on my Indigo wish list for quite a long time now and it is on sale, so it's very tempting. I have one of her other books already and she is a great artist!
Louise, all her books are so inspiring! Worth every penny for sure🤗 Thanks for stopping by as always🥰
Whoa!!! I wasn’t expecting this beautiful face! Enchanted, like to put you on canvas! Great review!
Emmy looks like your on your way to becoming an iconic artist yourself, keep going don't stop and God bless and always stay inspired 💪🔥💛💯⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘💪😇 !
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, Roger🤗 Truly appreciate it, and thanks so much for watching!.
I love the touch of color! Could you do a sketchbook tour? 👀💓
Oh nevermind I saw you posted one just before this video 😁
Thanks for dropping by🤗 and I have a playlist of my sketchbook tours!
so nice ❤😍new friend
Thank you🤗🤗🤗
Nice , a book I been wanting to get
It’s such a great book!
Hello. I have a problem getting into drawing which I wanna do for fun but wish to learn in a serious way. I'm overwhelmed but all the things to learn. I often try and study too many books or courses at once, making it stressful and unable to enjoy the process, just doing and thinking about the assignments and trying to get thru them as fast as possible. I've seen your consistent work. Do you have any tips on how can I get back into drawing but focusing on one topic without being distracted, getting the most I can out of it without rushing? Thanks
Oh I can totally relate! It took me awhile, through trial and error, to actually have a system going for me. This is the main reason why I ended up doing the "atelier style" of learning (but self-study instead of having a teacher). I was all over the place and really had no idea. When I read about the atelier-style, which had very specific steps, that's when I kinda found my groove, you know? Without knowing the style of art you want to do, I do always recommend focusing on the drawing basics, which from the sound of it is what you're doing now. Once you have been doing that awhile, even if you think your progress is not what you'd like, I'd say move to the more "fun stuff" like painting. For the atelier-style, after the Bargue plates, there was a lot of monochromatic studies before painting with colour, and I think that's a great step. I did end up doing these simple paintings while doing the Bargue plates just because I was really itching to paint. Hope this helps. Know that you're not alone!🤗
Hi Emmy, thanks for the tour of this book! I've seen it around in lists before but it was cool to get a preview of the inside. Hope you're doing well!
Hi Louise! Thanks for dropping by and for watching🤗 Hope all is well with you as well!!
Im a beginner but I will get it because I believe in myself!
👍🏽
more iv'e gotten into anatomy, the more unattractive I find people's physical features😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂
Hahaha it's quite the opposite with me
@@sarasawyer2816 Honestly Fair, I can see it going both ways haha
It looks like a good book even though it’s in French
This copy I got is in English!
its in english please give me a link @@EmmyMW
I'm in Canada and this is where I bought it: @@swaggerlomingo www.indigo.ca/en-ca/morpho-simplified-forms-anatomy-for-artists/9781681984483.html
nah thanks foir replying nah its only in america big sad@@EmmyMW
That was my first Anatomy Book ❤
It's such a great book!🥰
Went to the OCA took a Figure Drawing course and got this book and it was only then my figure drawings flourished.
@freedom12888 That’s so cool! And that’s awesome to know that this book is actually used in schools 🤗 Thanks!
No I got it on my own . Our books are different ,got mine in the eighties .
Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying 😀
Hi Emmy, I ran across your channel while searching for others who did some of the exercises in Alphonso Dunn's Pen & Ink workbook. I bought the book and the workbook back in November which is when my journey into trying to learn how to draw began. I like both books they're packed with examples. I've also bought several other books for beginners as well. Perspective made easy by Ernest Norling, Sketch your stuff by Jon Stich , You can Draw in 30 days by Mark Kistler. (I Could not Draw in 30 Days!) I'm taking the first 6 Months of 2024 off from work just to try and learn to draw. I've been practicing, so far it's not going so well. I find it more relaxing to listen too and watch videos of other artist. Theirs so many great artist who post there material on youtube, each with different styles and techniques and i subscribe to many of them so thanks for your contribution.
Oh, thanks so much for watching that vid and for the lovely comment above. You got some great books for sure, and yeah...I had that book "I Could Draw in 30 Days" and did all the exercises too but still could not really draw in 30 days😂 (I did like that I made me draw at least for a consistent amount of time.) I also like watching art vids to inspire me, although maybe I think watch too much when I should be drawing! Anyhoo, all the best with your endeavour! TBH, I feel like I've been doing this awhile and still feel like it's not going well most days, so you're not alone for sure🤗
are u Filipino?
Yes I am🤗🇵🇭
yer hubby is very generous to gift you his used mouse......
😵💫
Merry Christmas, Emmy!!🎄🌟I hope you had a lovely and blessed time with your family and friends. Thanks also for your sketchbook flip - I always enjoy these! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks so much, Louise! I hope you are having a great Christmas as well🌲🤗
Just got this amazing book, thank you for your post, this has given encouragement to do the basics, for me it means, crawl before you stand and run.
Thank you so much for watching🤗 This really is a great book!
Very cool! Pencil crayons are one thing I can sometimes have a love-hate relationship with. For sure my favourite brand is Laurentien, which are the ones I used as a kid (I think every Canadian kid of my generation used them!), but unfortunately they don't make them anymore. 😞 So I hoard the ones I have left (and any I find at thrift stores) and I'm looking for a new favourite brand. I have about 5 Verithins and a few Premiers but I'm not sure why or how I came across them. The Verithins might have been part of a set since they're all in dark neutral colours but I can't remember! A few months ago I went to an art store and bought one each of a few different kinds to try. So far I think I like the Faber-Castell Polychromos the best but will have to experiment some more! I do really like the water-soluble ones though - Derwent Inktense and Stabilo All - super fun to play with!
Ooooo....Louise, thanks for the heads up on the Laurentien! I'm so curious now so I'll keep my out for them when I go thrifting:) And I know Jane Davenport raves about the Polychromos but I don't think I've tried those. I also have a love-hate relationship with them especially when it comes to art journalling, but I think for my sketchbook, I am really digging the Verithins:) Thanks so much as always for stopping by and hope you're having a lovely weekend:)
My opinion is that Hampton's book is not beginner friendly at all. way off.
Fair enough.
@@EmmyMW Your recommendation Lessons in classical drawing by Juliette was great! I'm more than half way thru :)
very interesting and useful! Subscribed, and my copy of the Workbook arrives next week <3
Thank so much for watching! 🤗
it usually is $27!
I’m in Canada. Everything is much more expensive here unfortunately 😭
Thanks!!
Welcome!
