Portrait of Meghan - Part One

[@jeffhreid]

The sitter did a great job holding the pose, I thought it was a still reference until she blinked.

[@SoufianeTahiri]

Megan :)

[@esperanzagalindo9024]

Muy bueno

[@artwithjoy0920]

Yeah, I thought it’s a picture! 🤭😁

[@nicholasseaman4858]

It's when she blinked that I lost all respect for her as a reference! J/K :)

[@chrissizemore3424]

it was a loop

[@j0ca1995]

her face is so beautiful.

[@mangopotato1803]

When she blinked I almost fell of of my chair! I thought it was a picture! lol

[@readywhen]

Spending easily a full hour on just getting the proportions on paper felt like I was being extremely slow, and thought artists like you would put that down on paper in a couple of minutes. Its very relieving to know that it's just a very precise and time consuming process... Thank you for another great demonstration!

[@elizabethdaltonhooker2935]

Me too!

[@coolamericano]

old masters took months and years. It makes sense that the more time you take the more likely your art would look better, i think patience is one of the virtues that sets apart a good artist from a bad one.

[@Lolita18]

I was shookt when the model blinks haha I thought that was a picture lol.

[@marcpaull39]

I spent more time looking at Meghan than the drawing. She is a classical beauty.

[@JohnValenteart]

Fantastic model...love her bone structure and strong features.

[@peterpoliti2623]

This technique makes sense to me. You draw like a sculptor. I majored in Art in college many moons ago, and was taught in my figure drawing class only a fraction of what I've learned here. No wonder I felt confused and overwhelmed back then. This is much more comprehensive. Wish I'd learned your method 50 years ago.

[@AngelinaKaul]

I agree. I am a self taught artist. I learned to draw by studying Michelangelo...which of course he drew/painted as a sculptor. I try to draw the same way. It works sometimes 😊

[@readywhen]

Technique-wise I think what yields best results is a painterly approach, and conceptually approach it like a sculptor. So treat your pencil and graphite like a brush and paint, build up the shapes and value layers as if you're sculpting.

[@susanwong6471]

Beautiful illustration- i am inspired to try it out - thank you so much 💕

[@RAHIWAadeyNayGdiniyu]

I have found the BEST Teacher!!! Thank you for the detailed sketch and fantastic explanations!!!! And the model is a pro!! It is remarkable that she can maintain her pose for that long.

[@mireyaherrera705]

Wonderful videos. The music was distracting, competed with your voice. Your English and instruction/teaching is very clear. thank you

[@paulofontes75]

Very good as always.

[@jenniferhosmer9180]

Please post more drawing sessions Cuong Nguyen. I love working with you!

[@ourtinywindows]

Took me ages to realise the video of Meghan is a loop.

[@kalilavalezina]

Hats off for using a live model and to the model for holding that pose!

[@jonroads8281]

What a brilliant video!

[@hrg565]

I freaked out when she blinks...

[@jefftow1]

Really enjoyed this TY

[@AngelinaKaul]

Really appreciate these lengthy and detailed videos. Your English is understandable and fine. The music is wonderful. I draw like you...so this is an enjoyable experience. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Keep making more!😊

[@dariusperiod3963]

measuring is most important part of an figure and portrait drawing,details are just icing on the cake

[@shavedsunglasses]

She’s a beauty. The drawing too. Love your amazing technique. Learned so much.

[@IrynaBoehland]

Thank you so much! Life drawing is amazing and Meghan did such a great job holding the pose!

[@claretmichelangeli3000]

Both did a lovely work! 💌

[@claretmichelangeli3000]

I enjoyed your work. Brilliant!

[@arts5980]

This is the most disciplined model i have ever come across. She sists there like a statue. Congratulations.

[@Lavendermama]

Thank you so much for sharing your skill. I like the back ground music and the way you explain. ✨

[@jeffhreid]

Outstanding video. The most important part of a portrait. It’s difficult to find such good information on the lay in. Thanks!

[@daphnemarais1540]

Beautiful drawing, Beautiful drawing....thank you

[@youbuddha1]

Great video, and what an amazing looking person the model is.

[@_sixareen_4125]

I REALLY LOVE WATCHING YOU DRAW. TRULY. YET THE BACKGROUND MUSIC MAKES ME SLEEP BEFORE YOU COULD EVEN START TO DRAW.

[@adreesnasser709]

Angelika Rose Romales can you tell me the name of music ? I search but i do n’t find it Thank you

[@ropakka9457]

How wonderful to find you in KZbin as well!

[@sydbarrett7511]

i'm so happy i discovered your channel

[@shanonhercutt3163]

Thank you for explaining so pleasantly. You are wonderful

[@marianauger7863]

Brilliant model Megan Thank you Cuong , Marian U.K.

[@mmedeuxchevaux]

What a soulful, raw expression she has. Props to the model. And I love the artist's technique. I so appreciate that the drawing is done in real time. I have a question: why isn't it good to do curved lines?

[@unicorns537]

Curved vs straight lines can be employed in different ways. Their are pros and cons to using one ore the other however it's mostly up to artistic choice. In a study of da Vinci's horse study sketch. He employs two curved lines and two straight lines emplying the imperfdet yet perfect nature of nature

[@marlonellamil9620]

love all your videos, very educational and interesting.

[@johnnguyen5120]

I am feeling so proud to see a vietnamese fellow doing representational art because I am also pursuing the art as well

[@Dipsxi]

She is beautiful, and a great sitter.

[@tinphamthanh9166]

Very detail

[@yolandat4503]

Hello Anh Coung, wonderful video, looooooove the step by step, I also always thought that the master artists can just start and bam here's the face but you still need to break everything down and it was definitely a pleasure to see even if this video is years old. Megan is a trooper model and she is very beautiful. No problems with accent, English is very good. My thing is you sounded low even with my volume all the way high. With your voice, me straining to listen to every word, the music didn't help. I put my earbuds in to cancel out any of my minute background noise and had to put the volume on high to catch all your words. I haven't watched part2 yet so not sure if sound quality is better or not but definitely an amazing demonstration, Cam On Nhieu Lam! Looking forward to watching everything you put out!

[@sageways7039]

I completely agree. I did think the music was lovely, but is louder than your voice. It was frustrating because it took me away from your teaching with causing some anxiety... watching drawing, hearing music, and faintly talking for a long period of time. On my TV, the speaker volume is up to 80 and I typically watch TV with the volume at 10-12 decibels. Your technique makes the most sense to me. Hopefully your other videos have better volume with less music or none at all. Thank you.

[@lisafred1362]

I agree. No music would help. Can't hear you.

[@m.j.9627]

The paper is branded as "Ingres" named after the French artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (not Ingress)... for anyone shopping for this stuff.

[@khalanesachin]

.. and then she blinked 😯

[@jasnadarkoloncar2651]

Awesome. Magic art.. But...Who is Meghan?

[@jerrywbrice]

Wow does your process includes hypnosis as well to produce maximum calm?

[@user-mq7iu4my4q]

[@shubhammeena5177]

[@sagardandgul6219]

[@anastacia3795]

[@moritzk.5755]
