Thanks a lot, very helpful! Good to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with greens. 😅

Really nice job with highlights. I will try this on my next portrait with black hair. Thank you for such a nice clear presentation.

كل الحب والاحترام والتقدير على اهتمامك بالموضوع

Why did you stop uploading, miss?

What is the sharpener on the right called? The third one. I can't find the name anywhere in the video. Could be that I missed it of course.

Your approach is very good for illustrations. If you would like to progress to Fine Art then study how Leonardo painted hair.

I love Oliver Sin's work, but this book is not a protrait learning book, for beginers. It is like his sketch book with some tips for advanced artist.

Great review but the music is distracting

Sono d' accordo niente griglie, ma la griglia come la chiamo io mentale🎉

Good book. Well worth getting.

Probably Not

Great stuff! Exactly the kind of instruction I need at this stage in my learning about oil painting. I'm finding the jazz background distracting, though.

Great video thankyou.

What does this video suppose to mean now ? I wanted to make turquoise cause clearly I DONT HAVE ONE. strange

Thank you. I gotta find this book! 🦋💙🌊🙏🏻

I've tried figure out shading and coloring without using reference. High value Mid value Shadow value If you cover everything in the mid value, add the shadow and where you imagine the highlight should be. Blend it together using a smaller sized brush for texture. It looks fine but average. You're tempted to use a larger brush with lower opacity and add a larger shadow on top of shadowy areas. Instantly it looks better, you do the same with the highlights. But if you attempt to blend it again it loses its form and turns into muddy shading. I got a book by the illustrator John Howe on how he does things. And it seems instead of covering the entire picture in the mid value then highlights and shadows. He uses a larger brush and roughly blocks in the highlights and shadows, and just colors in general. It might not even be flesh colors but blues and greens. Then he does another pass with the three skin color values. This might be the right approach but I've never seen anyone comment on it or had anyone confirm it.

Ultramarine blue is so far apart from yellow that it doens't come anywhere close to making a rich turquoise. In fact, if you use a yellow a little bit more on the orange side, like indian yellow, the ultramarine + indian yellow mix comes out a super greyed out muted green. Phthalo turquoise or even phthalo green is the awnser in that regard, as you showed. Phtalo Blue is also appropried, but since I bought a tube of phthalo turquoise, i found it more useful then either phthalo blue or phthalo green alone. Thanks for the video

Awesome review! All reviews should be this concise and yet detailed enough.

Definitely still experiencing the "rock" in the charcoal with Generals pencils. I just got four new ones, 2 HB and 2 2B, and the HBs both don't draw. I've sharpened them a bunch and sometimes get them at a good angle. But it's still an issue!

So this is just a talented person selling snake oil to people... Got it.😂

Thank you!

Ultramarine and Viridian can produce turquoise.

americaine ininterressante, et nulle !!!

You did an awesome job explaining the book in a short time

WAW that's great work and thanks 5 sharing. Useful information.

Really well made video I think you are really underrated

Everyone can draw, of course. But with no talent, you'll be mediocre at best.

I am quite disappointed with my Nitram purchase as well. I bought Nitram's kit with the four various charcoals. It is annoying they don't write the types of charcoal and number on the coloured label (HB, H, B etc.) because non of us bother to memorize the colour codes. Besides, the sticks don't yield as much charcoal as some of my other charcoal brands. Then there is the hideous sound from the hardest ones. Finally, they are way too overpriced. Don't buy them. Chose Generals, Cretacolour, Conté, or Faber Castell instead.

You might be able to get a replacement blade for the one that's gotten dull. Afmat offers them for the corded sharpeners, so maybe they offer them for the rechargeable ones, as well.

ok ,but she's a is a great person and liked it no matter what hope to see more of it drawings of your art work .

I'm going to guess that you are an Aries.

I'm all jamming out here.

I’m strong enough to hold the cap and can, but it is damages. Hot water looks more affordable

The annoying noise is silenced by mounting more paper on the drawing table, this isolates the wood from the charcoal and prevents acoustics, greetings, I admire you a lot, you are a great artist, greetings from Spain

This is a course I can purchase online? I would be able to take my time? I am generally busy taking care of elderly parents. So, just wondering if I can take a lot of time watching it?

Too bad about the graffiti. Otherwise I would have signed up.

Sad that so many knowledge people draw poop

faucet wrench is AKA basin wrench

Or get a sandpaper and make the block of your choice, for less than 1$. Add an extra 0.50$ and get a different grit sandpaper, for even better result's than the expensive one.

Perception deception

Photos have too much inherent distortion ,

Very good and informative video, but the background music is very disturbing and annoying.

I believe that the confusion a lot of people seem to have with this comes from the fact that we're told in elementary school that the primary colors are Red, Yellow and Blue, with no explanation, and then in the modern age, people see the RGB mode, on their computer, which seems similar (Red, Green and Blue), but those are two different things and unless they studied the subject specifically, a lot of people aren't aware that they don't work at all in the same way and that there's basically two systems for producing colors: Additive (RBG, for light) and Substractive (CMYK, for print). The RGB system produces colors by adding different colors or wavelengths of light together, and we use it for computer monitors, TVs, LED lights, etc; while the CMYK system produces colors by superimposing 3 other colors, which are Cyan (a kind of turquoise), Magenta and Yellow, with (or without) Black. That's actually what a color ink cartridge contains in a printer. These pigments are considered the real primary colors for printing and are pretty intense. The system is called substractive because contrarily to light, that adds the colors, when you're using something like ink or paint, the different wavelengths are substracted, which means that every color is blocked except the one we're seeing, that bounces back off the surface and our eyes interpret it as a specific color. But now, if Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are primary colors for print, why aren't they commonly used as primary colors for painting as well? It's not that there's a third system, it's simply that most paints are very dense and opaque, and it's much more difficult to get the desired results by mixing them, unlike with ink, that's pretty much transparent, so the computer calculates the exact amount of each color that's needed to get the right result and the printer superimposes coats of these three colors instead of mixing them together like we do with paint. Because of this, Red, Yellow and Blue are still taught to be primary colors for painting, but this has its limits. Some colors can't be attained by mixing these pigments and have to be bought. That being said, even in print some colors are unattainable by simply mixing Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. That's why people in the traditional printing industry (using a press) often use other pigments, like Pantone Colors (along with CMYK) which offer more intense and precise colors for specific areas, that a digital printer can't produce using the CMYK system alone. Also, it is worth noting that: Magenta + Yellow = Red Cyan + Yellow = Green Cyan + Magenta = Blue Which are the three colors in the additive system (RGB). Both systems are complementary but non-interchangeable (mixing light colors and mixing paint or ink won't give the same results).

What do factories do ? They usually make different color from three primaries so does the printer that printed your photo , so what's the difference ?

Thanks for very useful tips! What size of Royal Sabletek brush did you use?

You make yellow read and Green 😂

Alsalam Alikum. I love your life drawing classes These class . Thanks.

can you get to it from a phtalo blue ... as the water based brand I use doesn't have a pthalo turquoise
