can't believe how easy it is to draw. thanks to you and your vids. could'nt draw a stick figure before, now i can. glad i found your tutorials.so easy to follow.ps. you have a great sence of humor.
You're a very talented Artist, and a GREAT Teacher. I don't really try out portraits, but, after watching your vids...I feel inspired, and you make it look so simple. Cheers. =)
Thank you for this! Amazing tutorial and taught me a ton. Most importantly, taught me that this is way above my current skill level and I have a long way to go haha
i like youre work,and the fact you are helping people drawing without taxing them for videos or tutorials like that ''hellbery'' guy! very useful and god video!!
@klevdav I never get a likeness right away.....you are totally correct when you say feel my way around forms. Thats why we develop portraits slowly! There is a lot of guesswork involved! Thanks for the compliment :)
ur a awesome teacher....i sketched somewhat like ur sketches in the end! thanks a lot...i learn a lot of things from u.... Thanks for your wonderful tutorials.. (Y) Can you make a tutorial on bat Affleck?
@MonicaAngela808 An Excellent question.....without a simple answer. I did oil paintings for the longest time and the process frustrated me because it was so long....LOM was the first mixed media character that I made. I started posting videos in 2008 at around the time that he was made. I uploaded his picture because it was the only file small enough to fit as an avatar. He has since become (by accident) an easy to remember logo for an unspellable channel!!!! :)
Oops i said it wrong.. You teached me with your ALL videos, how to draw :D you're the best, man.. I'm not drawing now with your tutorials, because your vids teached me. after 10 drawings or so , what i made with your tutorials, I started doing my own.. and yeah.. money comes :D:D:D
This was an absolutely amazing video!! I love how you took your time and explained the details and techniques this helped me a lot. I have always wanted to be able to draw seeing people draw astonishing things with just a pencil and paper! With you I feel it is possible. Thank you, you are an inspiration except more of my views.
I knew it when I saw The little old man as the joker, you would draw him! And you gave me a hint that your draw the joker... but otherwise I was right!!! :D Great tutorial Merrill! This defenatley helped me out a buch! :)
@Urbanweirdo7 Awesome! Im glad it helped. If you want, post it as a video response. I am putting together a gallery of work from these videos on my website. MK
@TheRoroki were doing a vote on my FB page right now! C. Bale is not in it this week, but I will put him in if this comment gets voted up! Thanks for the request!!!!! MK :)
@kazanjianm you should be man!!!! anythin i draw how you say works out pretty well and its helped me learn so much about the human face but what i really want your help with is landscape drawings.....i find myself to be much better in that and if you could help me become really good it would help me so much....please please please do some tutorials for landscape drawings :D thanks
i'm sorry i dunno is the problem with my connection, but there's no cheat sheet for joker on the website..the images never load..probably the image links have expired! could you pls check and respond? thanks
@janetrtist Honestly, because I got a bit lazy with this one. It is easier to work on a bigger surface (to make the detail work) but I am trying to get a lot of art done before school starts up again next week (Im a teacher for my "day job" :)
@DaTSpic101 I just created a vote on my facebook page. Jimi is one of the contestants. He has three votes so far. I will draw whoever gets the most votes. I have gotten a lot of requests for him so I expect him to be a real contender. Thanks for the request!!! :) -Merrill
