I have a question what vehicle do you use to receive payment? I just used Venmo on a commission first installment of $1750 and Venmo took $33 ! I was thinking on the next installment the final payment just having him send me a check through the mail. What are your thoughts?
As a self taught artist, who just so happens to be colour blind and haven’t properly painted for 10 years (before I watched RU-vid), obviously it’s debatable, but I’m a decent painter but I’ve started to watch a few tutorials now and realise how little I actually understand technically, I will of course sub consciously do a lot of this mixing but my eyes have been opened! I’m now wondering how much my artwork will change knowing more theory! Great video, very simple yet effective!
I'm sorry, but this is not helpful to me. Love your finished art and trying like hell to understand your color mixing processes, but there is no way I can follow any of this even though I am a lifelong struggling artist. I realize I need some serious lessons and practice on color mixing or something. Adding blue or yellow to anything just makes mud and I can't tell what I am aiming for...just wasting paint and time. Frustrating. Thanks for trying.
Per capire il talento di Antonio Mancini andate a vedere le sue pitture realizzate a 15, 16, 17 anni e confrontatele con quelle di Picasso a quella stessa età.
When you mentioned "cold Passion" I thought about how I always have to set up at the end of the dining table and then only have a few hours to complete whatever artwork I want to work on. But today I thought, it's my day off after working three 13 hour shifts on the bounce so lets get up early, set up drawing (instead of oils) and then it is quick to set up! I did just that got up full of my cold passion... only to feed the cat, put the washing on the dryer which my wife had washed before going to work, make a phone call to pay an invoice, empty the bin & put out the recycling, find some batteries for my keyboard, speak to my mother-in-law about her upcoming holiday, let the cleaner in and then chat to her because I'm nice and I'm interested in people, see to the shopping delivery and put it away, then look for some more batteries I could steal from something else for my mouse as I'd used the last remaining new batteries in the keyboard, finally to sit down and re-watch this video more than two hours later and depleted of any passion, phew! - now it is lunchtime 😆 and I wonder why I am stuck and not getting any progression in my work??? Great video though.😁
I just started following you because I ask God to guild me to the right way of improving my art skills and I truly believe He’s sent you. I’ve been learning so much in the last 2 days of following you than I have from any other artist. God bless you and keep doing what you’re doing bec you’ve been a blessing to so many ❤
Different approach for different situations. In both methods, to get a likeness of a person, you need a system of measuring. If you have the task of contructing without a reference or "draw this person, but looking in a different direction" the constructive method is better. In both, it is 2D surface. The 3D part is in your imagination in both approaches. Its a matter of if you want to show it on the paper process or not.
Stephen thank you l am 75 and regaining my hand after little drawing for 50 years. I taught with a disciple of Reginald Marsh , Ed Holliman (sp?)in 1970 ( and my girlfriend was one of his models). He let me audit classes. A terrific teacher, his students were copying de Vinci anatomy with walnut hull ink beautifully.
I'm a sculptor and 3D designer and getting more into portrait studies, and I thought about doing this exact thing in blender but yes to model these correctly would take a very long time. So 8 bucks for this app is world-class bargain. I just discovered your channel but will certainly be watching more! Also the bit about trying to get to 100 study drawings, and limiting the time for each to 25 min or so, super important.
Extremely helpful video. Robert Beverly Hale said that it's really hard to convince a beginner that cast shadows could be really detrimental to a drawing. The way he said it tho made me feel like i should avoid drawing cast shadows completely which didn't make sense to me since it can help define volume. But what you said makes so much sense. If it DOESN'T help, you can leave it out. 👍
I use the ”arbitrary” lines for the thirds as a grid - it is easier, at least for the beginning, to ”see” how the proportions of the real model deviate from the template/grid. I guess it can help a beginner start noticing the real proportions and achieve a better likeness, at least with regards to the proportions of the model. Later on, once you got a grip of it, you can move on and draw the reference/model directly.
