Thank You for referencing Arthur Guptill. I found his book decades ago and have always enjoyed warming up my hand using his rather Zen method of texturing inside penciled in basic shapes.
You are so welcome! Glad that you enjoyed it. In case you missed it, here is the companion blog article for this video with additional info: longstrideillustration.com/draw-a-rose-from-imagination-in-pen-and-ink/
Glad you liked it. In my style, faces look more like manga characters, though I'd be happy to do a tutorial on proportions for diverse characters. For realistic portraits in pen and ink, I would suggest The Virtual Instuctor, Proko, or Alphonso Dunn - they all do a great job with this subject. Hope that helps!
I don't get why there are no contour to the shaft of the rose ? That makes it very bizarre and strange. There ks also a part of the upper petal in wich you add no shadow line that makes me unconfortable.
There is a saying about learning to be comfortable about being uncomfortable, you reminded me of it. But hey, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers.
