[@PaulPriestleyart]

Amber Van Orden I'm pleased the video has been useful and thank you for sharing it with your homeschool co-op. Cheers Paul

[@marissagruenwald4185]

Wow! Thank you! My drawing looks so good. Never knew I could make something like this...I had to pause it a few times especially when doing the nose. It looks so good. You are an amazing teacher. :)

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Well done, good luck with your drawing

[@imt3ss4]

Wow. I'm amazed. That's why I never get proportions correctly. Thank you. This will really help me. :)

[@rkellysden]

Thank you! Thank you! I teach three art classes, K - 8, and used your kinesthetic method of teaching them proper facial proportions using finger and thumb. We all had fun and were pleased with the results!

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Robin Kelly It's a good method of showing children about proportion, so they don't end up with eyes at the top of the head. Cheers.

[@jessicabasarache3043]

Thanks so much! would you please make a video on how to draw 3/4 face? Thanks in advance!

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Hi Sherif, I'll add your request to my ever growing list. Cheers Paul

[@sherifwahba4653]

Many Thanks for your decent reply, waiting for it! :)

[@AshishPanwar13i]

Hi i have a question. Do artists use grid system while sketching a portrait accurately?

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Artists use lots of different methods, but if working from life they usually use some type of measuring system similar to that in the video.

[@elliemerc01]

You said you would leave pupils open and get back to it. Where did you get back to it? Thanks for teaching this, it is much appreciated. :D.

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Not sure what you mean here. I have done other videos related to this about drawing the face, they can also been seen on my channel. Glad you liked the video.

[@marylouniebrugge9174]

Is the middle, top, or bottom of the eyes halfway on the face?

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Middle is around eye level. Eye-level is half way between the top and bottom of the face. All faces are slightly different.

[@flair4crafts894]

Hi, I just saw this video title, but I will check it out later. Can you use the golden ratio to draw symmetrically, I meant can you make a video using the golden ratio to draw? Thanks

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Flair4Crafts The golden ratio is a system the ancient Greeks invented for getting proportions to look harmonious. It is not a system to help draw elements of a drawing, but more to get all the elements of a drawing or painting to work together. I do have a video on composition which uses some of the ideas of the golden section kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6KpioianbSnb9E Cheers Paul

[@PaulPriestleyart]

I'll add it to my list. Cheers Paul

[@dmxzooom7282]

Doesn't the top of the hair line to right below the brow bone/right above the eyes equal the same length/height as the nose??? I'm sorry I just want make sure I have it correct because I've always drew the proportions that way. I sorry to go back on asking another about it.

[@PaulPriestleyart]

It can equal the height of the nose, but the problem is the position of the hair line can vary from person to person, particularly with men. So it is not a reliable guide to use. Paul

[@dmxzooom7282]

Thanks so much!

[@shahidhussain5551]

thnksss sir....

[@RayRockz]

Will this apply to every person's face

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Just about everyone from the age of about 4 or 5.

[@thepowerofart9726]

Yes but How to decide paper size and face size

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Don't worry about paper size. Whatever paper you are using you start with the horizontal line half way down the paper, sketch the first eye and measure everything from there as explained in the video. The face will then fit the paper. Cheers Paul

Draw a normal face, but drop the corners of the mouth a little, narrow the width of the nose a little and finally drop the outside corners of the eyes a very small amount. Cheers Paul

[@thepowerofart9726]

Please tell me how to measuring human face

[@PaulPriestleyart]
