I'm an artist under 13 years and I have been teaching myself how to draw, as well as watching youtube videos about art. When I came across this video, I thought I could never be as good as you are, but I practiced a lot and listened to what you said. I am still not as good as you, but you and your videos are helping so much. Thank you very much for this awesome and detailed video!
Wow, you're a phenomenal artist! Thank you for your detailed explanations of your techniques and description of materials used, because other videos just don't do that. A lot of artists are self-taught like myself, so I appreciate your help! Thank you for sharing your talent! Love your videos and talent! ❤️
The detail is AMAZING!!! Skin texture, wrinkles, irises, eye brows & lashes; how do you do it!?! I wouldn't have the patients & I'm so heavy handed. Your voice is so relaxing, too!
I need help with something. How do you make proportions so accurate without the scale and measurements? I'm kind of struggling at that, but your videos have been so helpful for me
I get the photo i'm drawing, place it over a bright screen and place the paper I'm drawing on over the photo. I trace the outline of mouth, nose, eyes and face shape. Do this every time you draw, and eventually you'll be able to do it without tracing. It's not cheating, because it takes serious amount of skill to turn an outline into a portrait, so don't worry. :)
@@aaAa-bp1yd most accuracy comes with scale and measurement its how you know you are getting things to the correct proportion. If you don't want to use that study anatomy and look up methods like the Loomis method.
Somehow I don’t find your videos helpful It is as if you are singing and gliding showing your work without actually demonstrating anything.maybe it is because of some commercial angle.So your videos are inspirational without taking anything home
You have such fine, smooth and stable hand movement, that's sooo hard! Do you have hand exercises to achieve that? Or it just came naturally as you learned to draw?
Try to rest your wrist down on a piece of paper as you draw. You can rest your hand on it to prevent smudging also. Also try holding the pencil in various spots of the pencil to find where you are least shaky at. Open and close your hands, move your fingers and wrist to exercise them a bit. Try using soothing music/sounds in the background.
This video has been very helpful to me. I started a drawing a few months ago and I left it aside ...got angry 'cause I wasn't good to draw freckles(trying to draw my little nephew).He's got many freckles on his cute face and didn't know how to draw them so now observing and listening to this video I'm almost sure (after practicing) to be able to draw more realistic freckles. Thank you, Silvie.
Loving the artwork and teachings, your art is amazing. Have you any finished pieces on here I've just got one issue, I'm getting distracted with your voice, you sound lovely 😄🙉
