I know this is an older video, but, Chris, your grasp of (and take on) color theory and composition are two of the (MANY) things that make your works so dynamic, intriguing, and interesting. You're sincerely one of my favorite artists and definitely my favorite mixed media artist. ❤ All the blessings, hope, and joy to you and yours!
My life drawing course is starting to implement water color into our figure drawings; however, I am a beginner with water color. My instructor did not elaborate on how to use them. Now I find myself on RU-vid to master this craft. Your video is very helpful and your method is stellar! Thank you so much for making this video. I will be following along with my own practices later today.
I would love to see more watercolor figure studies. I have a hard time distinguishing lights and darks in photos so watching your process was extremely helpful.
I’ve been struggling with a few figure drawings recently in watercolor pencil and this came at perfect timing! Good to see you back and creating! Can’t wait to watch in full later 💕 (Also the thing about figure drawings is that…. One tiny little mistake becomes the focal point and makes everything else look wrong and it’s been frustrating sometimes for me especially when working in a medium that is less forgiving 😅)
This is the first time I am commenting anything on RU-vid; just wanted you to know that your videos inspired me to be more confident about my art. I’m also very slow drawing and never thought I was good enough. And watching you, little by little I regain the will to create and to take action. I’m even planning to launch my RU-vid channel beginning 2022; I’m in the process of filming and editing. So thank you; keep creating, your impact is greater than what you think. Also can’t wait to get a copy of Tumble in my hands! 😊
You couldn't have chosen a better color combo 😁 these were super inspiring and I love your tips about focus while painting muscle form, this should help streamline my practice ☺️☺️🙏
these studies are beautiful, i would love to see more (maybe the same layout of 6 drawings but with the female figure?)!!! when it comes to figure drawing, i usually tend to focus on gesture through line only. you've really inspired me to try looking at the figure from a light & shadow perspective. i can't wait to try this, thank you!
i just did a set of these and it's an absolute game changer. so much fun and i'm finally starting to understand watercolor. i also want to do some with oil pastels and see how that looks
Second pose is my favorite :D I really like that pop of orange in the face that kind of adds definition to it even while it's in shadow. These all turned out so cool though! Thank you for the video!
This is one of the first watercolor videos where how you used it actually made sense to me. You work in such a logical, beautiful way! Thank you so much for this, this was immensely helpful!
I really enjoy this series of figure studies you’ve created, it’s making me get back into studies (and remember the struggle of learning all the muscle names, Latissimus Dorsi my old friend). I really like study #2 and #6 I felt you chiseled out strong shadow shapes, felt the weight of the pose, and really like the transitions from warm to cool tones.
Liebe chris ... Ein liebevolles gesundes kraftvolles jahre dir ... Das deine bleistifte immer spitz sind , Dir die farben nie ausgehen , das radiergummi parat liegt und reichlich papier vorhanden ist ... 💗🍀🕯🍀💗😊🤗😉🙂💗🍀🕯🍀💗
Recently I feel somewhat disorientated in drawing. A friend of mind sent me this video and after I watched it I feel a lot calmer. The good thing in figure drawing is like exercising. Now I have a motivation to get back with exercising again. I'll rest my worries next to me and see how it's gonna go. And watercolour seems fun to do (I haven't touch watercolour for a long time). My favourite pose is 4 and 6. It's kinda amusing to know that 4 is your least favourite. It makes me realise that sometimes, when you don't like a piece you created, there may be another person finds it very likeable. Thank you for your video.
Chris! you are such inspiration! anytime I watch any of your videos I have the rush of 'i need to pick up brushes or pencils or anything' feeling. Thank you
First of all, WOW 😆 You are such a great and amazing painter! 🎨 I have a few questions for u 😊 1. What skills does someone need to be able to be an artist/painter? 2. What are some advantages of being an artist? 3. What are some disadvantages? Thank u if u respond 😊
I loved the colors you chose, how you worked the shades for light and shadow, I also loved how you described the muscles. I loved everything, it was inspiring. A kiss from a subscriber from Brazil 😘
OHOHOHOOOOO i’m a lighting and costume major who mainly paints in watercolor and also you’re one of my favorite artists i follow WOW i feel very lucky rn very excited holy crap also! this semester in my theatre drawing class (where it’s all in greyscale unfortunately) we learned Notan, which is the method of only depicting extreme darks and lights instead of all the different mid tones, which is kind of what you allude to in this video and i thought it would be cool to mention :)
I love these! Thank you for sharing. Do you think you’ll ever do a more detailed version of this tutorial? So we could see the colors you’re grabbing from your palette?
I love what you said about not being distracted by the tiny shadow details at first, that's something I should probably pay more attention to. Love these so much ❤
Hey chris any update on your book yet?? Im waiting patiently...i think lol i never knew they sold reference packs so thank you for enlightening me....and my shopping addicition!! 😍
@Chrishomngart...I'm fairly new to ur channel!!..one of ur vids popped up in my recommend feed & I've been a fan ever since!! so I just broke out into my Happy dance upon seeing ur NEW video post!!

(Oh & btw I just became a new subscriber to ur channel!!🙋♂️🧏♂️😃💥😉💯💯💯
Probably, graphite is alot easier to control than water color since water gets all over the place sometimes as to graphite you are in full control of the medium
Love the study! But what I would reaaally love, would be to see how you create your poses from imagination. I fell in love with your last sketchbook and often wondered what your process was while creating your cute figures. I feel it would be a perfect sequel to all the figure studies if you showed how you implement all that practice in your personal work. Thanks so much and keep inspiring us ! 😊
Your gumroad link should have the thumbnails of reference poses of adults lacking clothes be blurred, along with "NSFW" or "Adult" in the title. I was at work when I clicked it and hopefully don't have to explain the reason. Also, underage artists could access it.
