He does The voiceover was just delayed He was talking about the dark brown being blended, and then cut to when he blended it, and you could see it became lighter
Art teacher here. Your sketch is in very heavy pencil which will dull the colours and darken them. Use bread or a putty rubber to take some of the graphite off. Use acrylic medium rather than water to thin your paint. Use small round brushes to paint thinner areas. Acrylics will become flat if you try to layer then so try to only paint the right colour in the right place rather than build colour. Hope that helps
for something like that, treat it similar to how you would with lighting: figure out which direction the light is coming from and stick with it. in this case, itd be figuring out which way the wind is blowing and have stray/flyaways lead in the same general direction.
You always make me wanna paint, this is excellent. You have quite the eye for color, and the details of the flyaway hair gave it so much depth and emotion. Good job man! This song reminded me of a painting I made - jeez, over six years ago - called “Blame It On The Media”. I loved the concept but the execution was real iffy lol. Either way, a new business wanted to buy it. And then they had to move, and I’ve never been able to track it back down. So I’ve sold one thing, one of my worst works technically but more meaningful ones. I should redo my TV Head.
the skin is awesome man and i like it unblended. gave more feel of structure. also the flyaways are awesome. people act like there’s limits to art. and it’s subjective anyway so i’ll say that i personally think the flyaways are rad as hell man. good job
I think you should of made the flyaway hair come from the scalp not just sticking out. I also think giving the eyes a light in them would make it look alive. overall its pretty good. (This is my opinion)
beautiful painting, but could you possibly ever do a lineart tut? i am starting to get into semi-realism and it would truly help a lot especially coming from you and your amazing talent.
From my experience doing a solid block for the hair and then adding strays like that never works out. I’ve only ever seen it look good when the artist manages to make the hair look like individual strands and strays do not look out of place with that
Great art! And don't tell me that I don't appreciate the art, I do, I just think that with all the flyaways, the reason it looks unnatural is because the base hair is not wavy or flying enough. It's just stiff, unlike the other hairs. Just a thought! :)
I agree! You can see in his initial sketch that he only did minimum flyaway hairs and you can actually see where the hair comes from (like from the front of the hair). To fix it, he could add a lighter brown that shows where the flyaway hair comes from. But yeah the contrast between the flat hair and wavy is a bit awkward to look at.
Sketch was lovely, and then - I mean, the flyaways looked a lot more natural and fitting before. The lack of highlights on the irises and lips also add a flatness to the work - but of course, just my opinion and what I would adjust if I were to paint such a subject. Shadows on the face are nice.
everybody talking abt the fly away hairs like they didn’t see the previous video with the reference photo 😒 it’s accurate if you actually see the reference!!
i love this ! personally the hair and the blocks of color look really pleasing. the wavy snake-like lines are so fun and i think if you hadnt added them it would have turned out just a little more generic and boring. beautiful !
the easiest way to paint portraits is to NOT draw outlines. Start with medium flesh tones, focus on shape, map out shadows and highlights. Suddenly you have a face staring back at you and you're like 'wow is this how God felt making me'
If you never went for the flyaway hairs and just smoothed out and detailed the face i feel itd be a supreme piece! The straightness of the hair was really cutting edge - random strands were disproportionate and ruined it for me
Constructive criticism: the fly away hairs are a bit less opaque and are perpendicular to the natural flow of the rest of her hair which makes it seem disconnected from her head. I would recommend trying to imagine those pieces being connected from the scalp, trace them from the scalp outward, and add some density the closer they get to the head so it looks like they’re separating from a single shape rather than being their own individual entity. Otherwise this is such a beautiful composition and I love the rendering and tones used! 💗
This is really good feedback! You can actually see that he initially did sketch the flyaways to connect to the scalp, but when he painted over it, he kinda lost where it was connected.
@@IsraelLlerena Yep it’s unfortunate! That’s the downside of using acrylics 😭 but he still did an amazing job of estimating where they were originally!
I think it would have looked nicer if the flyaway had been thinner and less of them, when there are many and they're thick it looks like she's kinda melting into the background
I feel like a lot of male artists draw women's hands too big because their own hands are big and they don't realize how small and skinny ours are in comparison. The hand always looks big, clunky and out of place to me.
I guess it goes with the reference. I mean, my hands aren't really small and skinny. They're a bit more bigger than my cousins who has small skinny hands (and I guess it's 'cause I'm fat too, don't know if it will change when I get to my goal of losing weight) but that's also a good critic if it comes to a certain person with their shapes/sizes.👌🏼
Just out of curiosity, did you intend the hand to be a (biological) male’s hand? If not, then scaling it down a bit (in size relative to the face) would drastically help to reduce the fact that it looks like a second person’s hand. And if it is her(?) hand, then I really love the fact that it looks a bit more on the masculine side, since not every (woman) has ‘feminine’ looking hands, (especially those who work a lot with them, such as potters and other hand strength intensive jobs/hobbies)!
As an art student, you can tell the comments arent from art students and i think thats really funny. These are like normie opinions where everything has to be hyper-rendered/hyperrealistic lmao. I love the piece, do more!
@@kimvarki i really didnt mean that as an insult. I know people use that word as an insult but i literally just meant like "typical" lol. Sorry if it sounded bad
Some of these comments have nasty reply threads. Y'all the video literally asked for the internets opinion. Just cause someone criticized the piece a little doesn't mean you have to get all pissy at them for being negative. It's nit even you're piece so why are yall getting upset about the criticism??
I hate using acrylic paint it dries so fast you can't blend once it's on the canvas you have to blend by placing accurate colours first time and including transition colours and stuff. Oil paint is so much easier imo because it is so much easier to work with
maybe make the flyaway hairs a little closer to all the rest of the hair or just remove them completely, i think it looks weird but otherwise it looks amazing!! /nm
Yall saying the hair looks unnatural, its true, but it is a cool artstyle, it feels a little out there and crazy but normal and bland at the same time, idk maybe im looking at it too hard, i think its cool tho
everyone is shitting on the flyaways but I personally like them. i think the way he exaggerated them makes the painting more whimsical and dream like, not exactly true to life. keep doing what you do 💗
