So excited for this! I’ve just been inspired to paint a picture for a KZbinr who has been having some run ins with spiders. So I got this cute idea but I, having trouble making her pretty enough and the perspective of her dressing table and camera. I think I have the cute tarantulas all good 😅

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

@@LCLand I like spiders. Gimlet knocked one off the wall the other day but cats are short sighted so he couldn't find it after it was on the carpet and it escaped 😄

Thank you so much Michele, it was a thorough tutorial. It clarified a few points for me. Thanks again Michele. 👍🥰

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

Anatomic name of that furrow region below the nose is philtrum. Thanks for the video. Much simpler than trying to apply Loomis method to a photo.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you 😊 It sounds familiar like I knew it one time... I learned some beauty therapy years ago so they probably told me and it just whizzed right out of my head 😅

[@DSmith-pc9jn]

Very helpful Michele. Thanks.

[@stephanieh930]

Very helpful, thank you! Perspective and foreshortening are extremely high on the list of what I need to learn and practice most

Still my favorite art channel. Always thorough with a splash of humor. The best part - besides the wonderful lessons and enjoying your accent - is this channel is cat approved! Wow! Nothing could be better! 😸

Another extremely important tutorial. Im terrible at faces, but every good tutorial i follow will eventually change that. Hopefully. You covered more than i typically see in a tutorial, much appreciated!!

In addition to enjoying & learning thru your Tutorials, I always appreciate your Delivery & Speaking Voice. It has a lovely Tone, Rhythmic Pace and Clarity. So many Instructors haven't really planned out their Lessons, so often their spontaneity is a bit too "conversational", sort of when we are chatting with a Friend and trying to explain something out loud. We might be searching for words to describe an action, etc. but this doesn't matter as we're not trying to absorb & learn something in those conversations. When Instructors teach "off the cuff", I find this creates a lot of interruptions and frequent re-explanations when they realize they might not have stated something clearly or correctly. So that back tracking sometimes is hard to follow. I so appreciate both your Artistic Expertise, Experience and thorough Tutorials where I always learn AND retain the Information, a lot of it due to your Style and Delivery. Thank you SO much!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you that's really kind of you! I do plan my videos although I don't script them because I taught real life classes for many years so am used to explaining things I guess :-)

Michele’s observation skills of a subject and the artwork created by her students is just amazing. The face is a rather complex subject and Michele touched on all of my issues. I am rather good at creating pig nose frowning portraits just need to find a group of folks that resemble those features. The tip on children is much appreciated and my biggest takeaway. I did a sketch of my 7 year old grandson and my family said it was an age enhancement drawing as the sketch looks like a teenager. Have a beautiful week everyone.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

So glad you found it useful!

[@martinblizard1882]

Very helpful. I learn a lot. It was particularly interesting to me as I have had so many failures trying to paint faces that I stopped doing it. Maybe I will try again now. Thank you.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

I always love 💕 your drawings tips. This is definitely much easier than the Loomis Method, I really appreciate it. I will definitely be trying some more portrait drawings soon. Thanks so much & have a wonderful week! 💖

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@cindybozic8792]

Thank you so much for this informative tutorial. I drew along too. I have that drawing of a “much older appearing child” in my sketchbook. I joked that it was a prediction of how he would look when older.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

We have all done it!

[@sherryscoloringandpaintingcorn]

it was all amazing

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you!

[@susankelly4911]

Thank you Michele this video is what I so badly wanted. The eyes were my downfall. Thank you for this. I can now follow the advice given here and my portrait wont look like Quasimodo. 😂 🎉I could always do one eye right and then when I'd start doing the other one it would be a complete disaster. This Is such a great help. Thank you so much. The lips were another problem. I really appreciate this video. God bless you. Susan ❤❤❤

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you Susan!

[@Monardadidyma-g5q]

Great tutorial. And yes the humor laced here and there always is delightful. Might you be able to do a similar tutorial regarding the drawing of horses' heads, of cats' heads?

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Noted!

[@dessyedeeclark1144]

So very helpful. Especially how NOT to age babies with hard lines. While a lot was covered, I would love to see you discuss how childs heads look different with (?) Foreshortened bodies when you are taller and looking down at them.

[@lorrainevanheteren6115]

Thank you for the lesson

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thanks for watching!

[@lindaolsen7828]

Excellent! Much better than anything else I've seen and definitely better than reading about head construction. I still have trouble placing the eyes in a 3/4 turn, more or less, not along the verticle but the distance between them with the nose in between. Lately I've taken the width of the near eye and used it to measure horizontally thru the nose to get the start of the foreshortened distant eye's tearduct, even if I can't really see it because it hides behind the nose. I don't know if this is how you would measure that distance because I'm not sure it is an accurate method.😢

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

The width of the eye on the far side will not be the same due to foreshortening so you can't use the closest eye to measure. If you are really struggling the grid method can help, I have videos on it if you pop it into the search bar.

[@jakea1035]

Many thanks!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Very helpful, thank you. Would you consider a portrait tutorial in future? I'd love to see you take a photo of anyone, draw it and then use watercolours to complete it. I love watercolour portraits 😍 but I haven't managed to draw the face yet. I've been skipping around trying to find someone on yt who can get the Loomis or Reilly method in my head. Tonight I was looking for drawing the skull tutorials as I thought that may help me with the underlying bone structure. But when I found your video, it made so much sense to me. Funnily enough, last week I bought a magazine so I could draw the straight or curved lines where the features lie for practice. You did a great video including this quite a while ago and it's something I keep in mind so thanks for that too 😊 Thanks again, ❤

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

I may do that, I have some content planned around my own paintings in the Summer...

[@pairof3s]

I think the center of the lip, or where it dips in the center of the top lip, is considered the center of your Cupid’s bow. The top points are the tops of the bow. Love your videos. Please hug Kitty for me 😊

I will hug him! Thank you :-)

easy to follow how to do it thank you what about easy hair and face shading thanks

Drawing in the centre lip line first. Game Changer. So obvious, but did I think of it? Of course not 😂

What’s this magic cream you used on your finger? Pseudocreme? 😂

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Sudocrem. Thick, white, fantastic for nappy rash and every other ailment known to man. Get it on the carpet and you will probably have to throw it away. Impervious to water and nuclear meltdowns. After the apocalypse all that will be left is rats, cockroaches and sudocrem.
