[@sharifahhusna55]

this is the best portrait video ive ever found but once he stopped talking i kinda got sad bc everything he said is relevant Update (2021): Hello, it has been 4 years since i first watched this video, I want to thank you for sharing this. I have been practicing the steps you taught and tried out what works best for me but i keep coming back here. I can now comfortably say that I can draw, not good enough to call myself an artist but I have had people commissioned me to draw portraits for them here and there. I can't thank you enough for the knowledge you have shared, you're a wonderful teacher!

He has another great video and he did really great job, I subscribed cause of that video

Hierarchies are for pretentious upper crust bores, who need to know their place. An artist makes things with care. Sounds to me like you're an artist.

[@juliannavarro8400]

Mr. Chen, you're amazing and such an inspiration, thank you for teaching us your techniques.

[@everettwhite9874]

+ Yong Chen Thanks so much for posting these videos. I prefer portrait drawing over other subjects and I've learned quite a lot from watching your videos, especially blocking in shadows. I had been going about it seemingly all wrong. I'm so into details that I spent to much time trying to get all the details. Watching you use the charcoal help move me away from focusing on small details and in that moment, getting the right values improved. Man, I'm so excited that I probably not making myself clear. Let me just say this, thank you Sir. No formal art training, I'm just a grandfather who now enjoys drawing my grand kids more often. ...thanks to you! 💯

[@YongChen]

Everett, you are so welcome. knowing my videos had help you gives me more energy to move forward to making more lessons. Keep having fun!

[@vijyanandkawale4604]

best teaching here Sir..ty so much

[@thewindrises]

it amazes me how your drawing turned out so beautifully when it looked so messy to start with. I was told i should always use light strokes in the beginning, so it is easier to fix later on, but you don't seem to care?

[@YongChen]

:)

[@devinmcclelland4841]

Keep in mind that vine charcoal is relatively easy to push around on the paper, which makes light strokes less of a priority in charcoal drawings

pls do the full video,i would like to see that

[@rishabhnigam6685]

mr.yong ..are the rules for proportion of faces same in every face..i mean can we ivide every face into four equal parts ..and is the width of face always same as the distance from eyebrow to chin

[@YongChen]

Most people's face from hairline at top of the forehead to eyebrows has the same distance as from eyebrows to nose line and from nose line to the bottom of the chin... Most rules only can be used as guidelines and we still need to observe and compare for each portrait.

[@itsrockitt]

She looks super excited to be there

[@YongChen]

+Ricky Acosta Thanks for your comment.

[@jojot.9916]

+Ricky Acosta You shouldn't make a face that you wouldn't be able to keep for a long time. Not-smiling may be the best option.

[@itsrockitt]

+Muffin' Brillo of course!

[@O0Salmon0O]

+Ricky Acosta Also a painting of someone smiling is very cheesy. This is not posing for a photograph. A painted portrait is typically aiming to depict form in space on a 2D surface. It also strives to capture the life/presence/soul of the subject.

[@oneshadowone]

Thank you so very much. I've gained so much knowledge from you . Do you use vine or willow charcoal in this demo? I see that you are using charcoal pencil in the last stages. What is the paper? I will enroll in patron soon although I'm not interested in watercolor but oils. I hope you can start with oils soon . The Charcoal portrait instruction is first rate. Thank You-Michael

[@phuonglieu2236]

Hello! what kind of charcoal do you use? it looks like compressed charcoal, but it is not easy to eraser like that. It also doesn't look like the vine one. :-/ ??

[@YongChen]

+phuong lieu I used a medium compressed charcoal. Thanks for your feedback.
