Literally the most helpful artist I've ever encountered.

@Miriamhoffmann 7 месяцев назад

That’s the best compliment ever! Thanks for watching!

@user-xz6dr6yf3w 5 месяцев назад

I agree. Very pleasant presentation. What is her Family name? I'd like to look up her work.

@gabocavallaro 4 месяца назад

I think the same! and you are so right about the "proportions 100% correct" not being so important! It was I´ve been thinking all this time as an sculptor- Amazing content @Miriamhoffmann please keep it up!

The balloon and marble thing blew my mind, I’m 100% going to apply this to my next project

@Miriamhoffmann 7 месяцев назад

So glad you found it helpful!

I have struggling to draw faces in an organic way. I kept looking at digital art tutorials in vain. I can’t believe the amount of useful information you have given in a single video. You have changed my life. I love drawing with chaos and struggled to control it. You have shared such amazing techniques that my heart is beating so fast trying to turn on my drawing tablet to try them out

The gravity idea to find proportions is mad hatter level genius insanity

@Miriamhoffmann 6 месяцев назад

Haha thank you! Glad you found it helpful!

You are officially my new favorite creator ❤

@davidea.7424 5 месяцев назад

This is one of the most useful videos I've ever seen about proportions! Very well explained and laid out. The concept of gravity (should say "graphical" gravity) was new to me and it's brilliant! Thank you for sharing!

I am so bad at proportions. In addition, I don't have a good grasp of line work. There aren't lines there, my brain doesn't want to put lines there. There are different colors. This has made things really hard for a long time. This is so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much.

Miriam I always enjoy your videos, I’ve got to disagree in the proportions, haha I care a lot about them, and notice them a lot, for me if I’m doing a portrait for a client, proportions have to be spot on, otherwise I just gave them plastic surgery. I understand your style is a lot more expressive and modern but for portrait painters I think they are super important. But I do agree that they are not the only thing that matters

@Miriamhoffmann 6 месяцев назад

Totally valid! This method isn’t for anyone. That’s why I included the part about if 100% accuracy is your main goal (for example- working on a commission) then you’d probably be best served skipping this video 🥰. My goal with portraiture is always to achieve likeness and capture spirit, not necessarily create an exact copy. These methods let me do that. If I was painting a commission and needed to get everything 100% spot on, I definitely would take a different approach ( like use a projector or do a transfer). So I totally get where you’re coming from. All just depends on what your end goals are!

@MidnightMelodie 6 месяцев назад

I’m not an oil painter but your videos are so helpful! Outside of art school, I don’t think anyone else really talks about these kinds of things, so thank you 🙏🏻

I absolutely love your videos…. Seeing you talk, your voice just makes me happy…. From your instagram stories I realized you have 9.5 k followers and i am thinking whattt!!! Everyone who understands are or doesn’t should be here watching your videos….. Thankyouuuu for being this amazing!!!!

@roseoverdose6451 5 месяцев назад

ok. projector ordered. thanks.

@jijijijijijijijijijijijiji 7 месяцев назад

You're an excellent artist!!! Even though i do digital painting (I wish i could do it physically but I dont have enough space and I'm financially strict) i still follow your tutorials on youtube while painting on my tablet ^^ they're really nice and the marble trick actually helped me!!! Thank you! I'll finally be able to study my favourite artists next week at the museum for free, I'll be sure to use your tricks when possible!!!!

@Miriamhoffmann 7 месяцев назад

@Miriamhoffmann 6 месяцев назад

Haha same!!!

@Sykirobme 6 месяцев назад

Yet again this is timely for me. Graduate residency just ended, and the majority of comments about my work had to do with letting go of the concern for realism/accuracy at all costs and not being afraid to distort the forms if it looks better. Thanks again!

Thank you so much!! It’s been awhile but your video popped up in my notifications and I figured I should check it out and once again I am amazed. Your tutorials and videos in general are always so high quality and in depth and they help me so much with my pursuit in painting that I cannot thank you enough and to keep making these videos because they truly are an inspiration to me and hopefully many people!!! 💕💕☺️

Damn! You are like the perfect teacher :) This is a hugely informative video. Again! Your words from 16:49-17:20 are exactly what we need to hear :) The effort you put into these videos is very much appreciated. Cheers Miriam.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

@dhabitahpunk 7 месяцев назад

This is such a great video! I've always used guidelines to get better accuracy as my paintings always look way off without them, and I never had the patience whenever I try to paint without them. I love the many tips you gave here and I feel like I'm more confident to try again without guidelines and be more patient and to trust the process!

@sugarlessroark 6 месяцев назад

Good tips! I'd gotten to thinking I'm pretty good, then a week ago, I simply could not get a head right. It ain't like riding a bicycle. (I'm definitely buying the idea that Caravaggio used a camera obscura or lucida, but that still doesn't explain how a hard-drinking thug could come out of nowhere and handle light and dark and paint the way he did.)

@davidwallmann83 7 месяцев назад

really good art tipps even for already established artists ;)

@Miriamhoffmann 7 месяцев назад

@LulArt 7 месяцев назад

Excellent!!! I learn everytime i’m listening to you! What about form now (😉), i have no problem understand it with still life but with portraits i’m overwhelmed… A question if you don’t mind Myriam , what do you think of timed painting studies ( 30 mns everyday ).

@Miriamhoffmann 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! I’ve got a form video on my list 🥰🥰🤘🏼 I think when it comes to daily practice- whatever is going to make you WANT to do it, is best- if putting a time requirement on it helps motivate you to do it- then it’s great - if it stresses you - then ditch it. I think they are helpful as a measurement tool when paired with a specific learning goal 🤘🏼🥰

@MariamPareArt 6 месяцев назад

Love your videos! Great explanations. By chance did you use chat GPT to script these videos? Very thorough.

@reginaldforthright805 3 месяца назад

Can you please make a video on proportions from imagination without reference?

@tohillart646 6 месяцев назад

I wish my art teachers taught me this! I waste so much time sketching proportions and still not working!

@tiak. 3 месяца назад

I don't sketch either! I like to just jump in!

@user-ix7xl8it8h 7 месяцев назад

If you dong mjnd mm e asking i find your work touching and moving a b d beautifully executed,is the subject mattee you do popular in sales.?they are magic

@Miriamhoffmann 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! It’s a trade off any time your subject matter is polarizing. The pool of people who may want to purchase is smaller than the general audience, but it also means my pool of competition is smaller. 🥰🤘🏼

@user-ix7xl8it8h 7 месяцев назад

Yes art is peaceful yet stressful lol

@Miriamhoffmann 7 месяцев назад

Haha. Gotta keep people on their toes 🤣
