You have the patience of a million men

[@victoriagirl8972]

ikr i wish i had patience like that...i like doing my art in one day i dont like waiting

[@hobisdimples94]

Amen! ::D art is so simultaneously rewarding and absolutely frustrating for me lol, I have to take a lot of brakes to keep from ripping my own hair out lmbo, I need more patience for sure!

[@michaelsta.isabel3476]

I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out steps to draw pencil portraits try Skyarza Portrait Coach Star ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy got great success with it.

[@augusturiam152]

Everything with quality takes time because non of us is perfect, and also this would take me a week

[@GameCreatorOfGod]

I draw, its not patience, its the joy of doing something you love, it passes the time so fast. Once you start a drawing to finish you get so transfixed into it your whole world disappears.

[@Cornellah]

I love (NO TIMELAPSE) drawings. Please do more like this

[@nknownpodcast]

Best tutorial I've seen on shading. A lot of the videos I've seen are the people just talking about how to shade, and not showing how they actually do it. I'm a visual learner...I need to see it being done. You can talk at my for hours on how to do something, but if I don't see you putting your words into practice, I won't retain one whit of what you were saying. Bravo! love it! And the music is extremely relaxing. Love it.

Thank you for this video. So many people are just showing sped up work as tutorials but You cant see technique so this is much appreciated. Great work!

[@YSL421]

Hats off to this great artist and his patience... My patience gave up in the few initial moments and I wanted to fast forward and wanted to see the end result. It is indeed a very difficult task to have such a great amount of patience and skill to do with lots of passion

[@pjlewisful]

Mostly, this reminded me of the joy of drawing when I don't go so fast & just slow down enjoying the experience, relaxing in my work. I tend to be to production oriented, sometimes, I think.

[@abdullahalobaidy2462]

Sephirothxxl1 i do my best but i cant draw what i see or thinke in the same way.my hand is draw bad picture i see it easy but when i drow it isn't the same.that make me saad.& make me disapointed. :(

[@janetfabro486]

wow thank you for teaching for right combination of shading

[@icywater5733]

I should take this long, instead of finishing it in an hour :( .I'll try to take more time into my drawings, I can only improve with time, to think 3-5 years ago I would sit in the back of the room at my house only with a #2 pencil, drawing for 6 hours a big portrait, as big as a table! Drawing every single detail and trust me it was so great to draw every detail

[@piedpiper1234]

hey Key ssi :D.... lol same I take a veeeeryyy long time too... probably because I never took classes and taught myself..

[@MusicBySand]

awesome mate. Is the mechanical pencil a HB lead?

[@dorothyharris6425]

This might be 'duh' question. Are you using short up and down strokes with the pencil or lightly shading in a circular motion. Can't tell for sure here. Then the mechanical pencil after the q-tip blending does that give more of an even cover. Just asking, my shading always looks uneven.

[@johnmercer7421]

What grade of pencil do you use initially - what grade of lead in the clutch pencil. not a lot of point without this information.

[@silentdragon9284]

I love your art but what's the intro song I love it

For blending ( sorry I didn’t look when the video started) what number of the pencil that you are using for blended?

[@Sarubotai]

Do you have any drawing videos without a reference image? Need tips

[@JuliaperfumeBr]

Can I use a H pencil instead of a F pencil?

[@tinkbold8074]

nice

[@iLOVVVEyoukaybye]

What paper is this? Is it similar to a smooth Bristol kind?

[@canalcasadosandaimes9332]

Show!

[@atrizll2005]

What other pencil can u use other than f graphite pencil

[@michaelmallory2926]

What hardness of graphite is the mechanical pencil?

[@robinakym2356]

Why have you used a cotton bud and not a paper stump?

[@sweetlikecqndy674]

do you have the full drawing

[@artdesign9563]

Can anyone tell me please what he puts on the cotton swab

[@nikhilsrl]

Hello Chris, how do you get the likeness to the original. Do you trace or is it just by sight?

[@salina5715]

He does it off of sight if you see his other videos to where there are no tracing. You can tell he does it off of sight.

[@phoenixiky1027]

Is it only me but i cant draw a face facing a left angle. I awalys draw my portraits facing right. I even have to flip the image depending of my reference photo or my model.

[@DimarisPlays]

The true color of art is the enjoyment of making it.

[@gaminggyal6262]

DimaSTR awh that's sweet ^W^

[@cuntfuck]

is it possible to hate it ? cause I draw and I'm kinda good at it. like sure I've got potential. the problem is I don't think I ever enjoyed doing it. The only reason I draw is because Im good at it. i absolutely love art but I don't think i love making art. Im majoring in art and I think Im making a mistake.

[@foofoobear66]

G....There is nothing wrong with what you are stating/feeling.....I have been a portrait artist...Painter for over 44 years. And I don't actually enjoy it....I have had this talent since the age of 7, and sold my first paining at that age, for $250....But I can honestly tell you that I absolutely don't enjoy drawing/painting.....Just because I can do it...And it comes so naturally to me, doesn't mean I enjoy it. Wow, you are the fist person I have ever heard who draws, but doesn't enjoy it....You're not alone...Just because you don't enjoy it, does not mean you have to stop....I haven't.....I can draw most things in less than half the time it takes for most to draw. like this 33 minuet forehead, for instance, that would normally take me, with my own technique about 5-10 maximun...I could take a standard #2 Dixon Ticonderoga pencil and a blending tool and come out with some awesome artwork. Yes, use other pencils, such a mechanical pencils if I need o draw thin intricate lines, since I am a professional and they need to be PERFECT.!!!!!.....And have dozens of graphite, charcoal , Rapidograph pens. You name it...I work with oils, acrylics and alkyds....But they are a pain to clean up after.....And is why I prefer portrait drawing. Just wanted you to know that professional artists, don't always enjoy what they do just because they are AMAZING at it.....Good luck to you...Keep it up!!! Peace :-)

[@joycesart4933]

l

[@hobisdimples94]

Haha ::D I LOL'D, anyway, thx for the tip! :) I do have a tendency to be kind of messy when I'm "in the zone" so I might have to look into that

[@animelover3083]

+DingleBungus do you know why he needed the mechanical pencil? why not just file or use sand paper on a pencil?

[@hobisdimples94]

animelover3083 Well I'm guessing it's because a mechanical pencil is consistently the same thickness, whereas a regular pencil has to be constantly sharpened to have a fine point. That's why I use one anyway :)

Never blend with your fingers! Because it will ruin your drawing causing oils from your hand will smudge all ver

[@KreativeKill]

Wafaa Gosick i can understand that. theres lot of stuff i can only do when im by myself. but to reply to the comment the above guy made, the artist finished the face, then shaded it, then in a separate video finished the hair then shaded that.i guess its his procedure he cant do it another way. i have certain drawing habits myself

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqPGoXWChN1_pck hi😍

[@philgray7320]

Other great blending tools are: Cotton wool balls (for larger areas), and my personal favorite: tissues, as you can fold them into the best shape for shading. Plus, did you know that you can use the Black and Greys from a colour pencil set to produce a black and white drawing? (this is the method I use) as I prefer colour to graphite pencils.

[@retrohai7897]

So patient. I usually spend many hours on drawings but thats over a few days.

[@raffy234]

This is SO beautifully drawn, calming to watch and I've seen a video from you which was filmed in 2014 and - from my tired little eyes 'laughs' - I can say, I see LOTS of improvement. And what I fucking LOVED was how you SHOWED the pencils you used. Everybody can have those tools at home and with such simple tools you created something so stunning. 'applauses' Keep up the good work!!

Good comment/observation.... Probably the best way to show drawing techniques in real time motion (as opposed to those awful "speed" videos) would be too skip a few minutes here and there (I'm sure that most people did that anyway).

[@lilstkngal]

The music is giving the drawing a sense of something slowing coming to life, a wonderful video. I am totally amazed how smooth and well toned and blended you created w cotton swab, when I was using a Chamois it was blochy and forget a blending stump it left streaks. How light of a pressure is used w the swab? Is the mechanical pencil a particular size like the various soft or hardness as the pencil? I would like to hear some narration instruction or is it in the time lasped video?
