Caravaggio, Raphael, Vermeer, Velázquez, Norman Rockwell, Michelangelo, and hundreds of other famous artist used tools and projectors to get accurate proportions. So snobs go to corner for a time out. Lets see some portraits of yours done without any reference points.

Very comprehensive series, really helpful many thanks.

Thank you, this is a great help.

Fantastic intro for beginners and up. Great demo on how to use the proportional divider properly.

I just started out doing portraits today and it surprisingly turned out pretty good which scared the fuck out of me

Thanks!

Где можно приобрести такой инструмент?

AmazinGGG!!

Please explain how to use a proportional divider from a tiny picture to a large canvas. Larger than the proportional divider will spread.

Good job I wish that I could use my right hand, I have Parkinson’s, but I try to draw faces anyway. I think I have done some interesting things , and I have no one to show them to. My favorite is the drawing I did of Franz Liszt. You are very helpful, thanks , Francesco

Amazing.... Thank you soo much

Y u no post video no more?

These dividers are also helpful for double checking. Eventually you won’t have to use the dividers but it still helps to check afterwards to make sure everything is correct. Definitely a great tool for practice.

Nice! I am looking for a good grey toned paper, what would you recommend?

Everyone has a different process for drawing. If one doesn’t work for you don’t be discouraged, you just have to find the one that you enjoy and is most simple to you, either way it’s just practice practice practice :)

Just uploaded a new video portrait tutorial on my youtube channel 😐 please subscribe. .I don't wanna lose my self esteem 😣😓😭

I hope it's not too silly a question, but would it make any sense to use darker heavier lead and then use the white smudge tool to soften it down where necessary? That's amazing art you're showing us here, and thank you very much for the great videos!

I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about steps to draw pencil portraits try Loctavan Amazing Drawing Strategy (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.

What ever it takes to get accuracy making it look real is what takes talent & skill.

Thank you so much! I just started teaching myself how to draw and I found this video incredibly helpful! Drawing portraits can be intimidating...It's nice to know where to start! You rock! Can't wait to watch Part Two!

THIS IS SO RELAXING TO LISTEN TO 🧘‍♂️

I can do the picture in ink in 3 minutes... He's putting all your chains....

I'm late to the party. I just wanted to say its nice to have a different perspective. From your videos I have found many holes in my drawing game. I will be getting these tools this weekend that I have never given thought to before. I appreciate your insight. Thank you. I am currently giving myself a year to gain skill at this level so I can actually do something with my hobby. Thanks again.

I know this video is old but if you read this is it okay if you don't have any of those tools?

Well presented.thanks

Thank you so much sir for such a clear explanation ... Very useful

Wow 😮 so much skill.

Thank you very much! You helped me getting clarified in some of the shading and layering concepts.

Drawing is my life

Bit painstaking in the process, but it gets the work done and nicely too. Nice vids sir. I'll try to learn and absorb the essence, flow. Good day!

I ❤️ your accent!!

Thanks for this video its very helpful to developed my skill. God bless.

Your techniques are so good and really helpful tutorial! Thank you for sharing ^_^

Thank you. It was very informative.

Thank you very much for this series it has been very helpful 😊

Thank you. These video really helps.

Cool!!!

Super dope. I never though to do the method you shown at the end. Nice!

So many negative comments on using proportion divider, yet the results speak for themselves. Some the great masters like Durer, Vermeer, Ingres all used the proportion divider or grid system at one time or another to create works of exacting realism.

superb I like this way :-0

Probably a dumb question (yes, there are dumb questions) but how do you get that point on the plastic eraser in the stick (holder)? Cut or sand? Some other technique? Thanks for your time and these great videos.

Can you or anyone please give some advice on sketching a face portrait on a larger scale like a wall. I am a beginner and can draw the layout of a person's face with the help of a reference pretty acurately.

i did not like this vidoe but every boddy is differn at drawing

thank you dude!

just put the paper on your computer as a lightbox will do, same shortcut but this would not train your skill

I used this in my 2nd portrait and really got better results than before
