You feel so much more natural on camera now man, it pairs so well with commentary. Also god damn your styling is awesome

[@izihlahla]

i would love to see a self-portrait painting just to see the chaos of mixing your own skin tone

[@aalicat_is]

I love your art style man. It’s unique in a unique kind of way.

[@Sapphire_bow]

Ah yes, the floor is made of floor

[@gond6099]

Ah yes, you used unique in the same sentence two times, that's unique

[@benonthebus7526]

@@Sapphire_bow Ah yes, wall is made of wall

[@downloadmusic8736]

His artstyle is different, it's pretty different in a different way

[@triforce8014]

The uniqueness of his uniqueness makes this art very unique in a sort of ... unique way

[@eungtiang9312]

For a first real try, it actually turned out really well. My main advice would be to not be afraid to go too dark! Lots of people are hesitant to go darker, but being confident in your shading will make your portraits feel and look a bit better. Also, you were right about it looking like you did it, and that's great! You have such a strong sense of your own style, and it's really cool to have that. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see more

[@shinkinshin001119]

Might be random tips, but might help in the way! Always flip your picture, usually the eyes, nose or even lighting might've looked almost perfect but something still looks wrong, flipping the picture really helps. Don't have to draw it exactly from the portrait, a big mistake of mine was trying to recreate, especially with shading and colors. It will not turn out as you expect if you just take the colors from the portrait and shade as it is, at least from my experience.

[@alexeggleston6832]

Doing a self-portrait is difficult for anyone, so major props to you for taking the challenge! You make your art pop with your style every time! You're an amazing artist and person! Keep up the great content Bro!

[@davidalexallen]

Barely started the video but I wanted to say I'm super proud of you, of how far you've come as an artist and as someone making content. I know this shit isn't easy.

[@davidalexallen]

Having now finished the video, I want to say that the piece so far is distinguishably you, both the subject and the art style. I can't wait to see how you finish it up.

[@julienvalentine8586]

love watching your journey into art man. good luck!!

[@itsjustraden]

Sometimes I forget homie is mad talented and it’s so cool every time I’m reminded

[@biksuuu]

that looks awesome man, I really like how you implemented your style. keep it up. sidenote: i know you like animating, maybe try animating a photo of you. whether as little as blinking or full on as speaking i think it would be very cool to see and a very useful practice. I love you and your work man

[@tayabucknell6984]

i just went through every drawing vid while starting my first pair of “custom” pants?? idrk what to call them, but you inspired me to start them finally and having you doing something artistic in the back really helped me stay motivated which i have troubles with. i really enjoy these drawing videos and you’re an amazing artist !

[@potao1262]

I’ve been loving this series so much. This one is my favorite so far!

[@samanthacart5115]

I’m the 21/40,000,000,000,000 like on this video. Can’t wait for the self portrait painting!

[@irishpubboy42]

For drawing portraits, or anything in general, it can help to put down an outline of the head and face, then put down vector lines to outline the darkest shadows and lightest shadows. This does work better for black and white drawings because your establishing the dark, mid, and light tones by doing this.

[@Willpocalypse]

I love watching your art unfold lmao also one thing i remember about art class is if you do a portrait or self portrait you should start with the shoulders and neck and work on the shape of the head, granted my art always sucked and never looked realistic in any capacity but i'm just trying to pass some knowledge

[@squidhartha94]

Honestly I think you did a really great job. It’s never easy trying to draw yourself because you know your face so much more intimately than anyone else so you see all the really tiny specific details. But I think if someone randomly showed me this drawing I would say it looked like you.

[@cclark9965]

your stylisation of certain things is always sick

[@blackkofi]

I love how unique your style is! Your portrait looks awesome! Love ya Kryoz

[@naschka]

it looks great! imo your style really fits rn and it's cool that you freehanded it. can't wait to see more :)

[@kingcrackhead301]

You’re really good at what you do!! I’m an artist myself and I really love you’re style. Thank you for being the way you are John. 😁

[@jacquelinetaylor42]

this came out sooo good, you’re incredibly talented!! I loved watching this!!!! 😁

[@cosmiccloudburst]

I really love your art and I’m so happy you’re doing more of it on your channel. I think it would be super cool to see how you do them differently if you do decide to do more through the year. With the eye you don’t like though Try lassoing it and play with rotating it. The inner corners seem to be at different angles ie the right seems a bit more even/maybe even a little down while the left seems to angle upward and check the sizes of your irises/pupils. But honestly it’s super good (better than some that I saw even in art school) and I can’t wait to see what you make in the future.

[@Akamai_25]

I love this!! I look forward for more commentary and fun artwork!

[@madi.rediak]

he has more art on his second channel !

[@user-yq4wp9ei7t]

John's style iw is so unique both in art and fashion

[@jonathantweedy2645]

came for the art, stayed for the great hands 👌

[@user-yq4wp9ei7t]

I love watching your paintings, glad we have a video showing your skills now

[@jamessanchez2371]

Idk how I ended up here but you uploaded this on my birthday last year and since I'm a fan and watched it that day and I guess KZbin brought me back. Great artwork. Love your content. It's the frosting between my cheeks :D nom nom

[@kaseyc.1053]

This is so amazing! I love your art style so much and this absolutely blew my mind away!

[@cowboi4440]

This looks so good!!!

[@stupidfrog2396]

great vid! I always love seeing self portraits because you can see how the artist views themself

[@mystictk4149]

Yessir can’t wait to see it.

[@KateG007]

I enjoyed watching the video, I love seeing your style. The shading in the eyes are really nice! ☺️

[@acidic_pengu8297]

Well this oughta be a good video. You're getting so good so fast. Keep it up.

[@klutz756]

You have a lot of talent for a gaming KZbinr. Truly impressed with your art style and shading.

[@br3adboy356]

love to see you see u grow n love all the art work recently

[@DevonLJW]

I feel like self-portraits are always harder, not only are you critiquing your art but also how you look and how you see yourself. I think it turned out great though, not what I was expecting but still definitely on par with your style and talents 😊

[@mr.carter7747]

It looks great! Can't wait to see the next part

[@maaplee]

We just had to draw a self portrait for a college course- I gotta say, it’s really nice to see an artist I look up to learning with me in a way, even though your technical skills are better than mine, It makes me happy to see you improving since it makes me feel like I can improve too :) It would be super cool to see a video where you attempt a hyper realism self portrait, then do a very stylistic abstract portrait just to compare

[@nymanellychan4010]

By every drawing I've seen you do I'm truly mesmerized by how great your shading skills are. Keep at it you're a natural! C:

[@Babybat213]

I love seeing you make art. It's so cool

[@kirsch3]

You're such an inspiration to me, I strive to be as creative and skillful as you are. Thank you for posting :)

[@callummassey7640]

I love your art style and all I'll say is that using blocky shapes to kind of build it up as a guide can help sometimes and using the erase tool for highlights is better than using white imo. Love your videos

[@elijahmaxwell539]

Please do more art videos, they’re such a good style and I have never seen a KZbinr do something like this. It’s so entertaining to watch and fits your content style perfectly

[@madi.rediak]

hes done more on his second channel !

[@mippy5842]

hell yeah i was just thinking at 3 this morning that i wish there were more kryoz art videos i could watch, play in the background while i draw, repeat

[@waschukd]

This is awesome dude great job

[@Zkinos]

I'm just glad you're uploading more man, been watching since MoP days and it's nice to see you enjoy what content you're making. PS I think the drawing is banger

[@FrostTrickz84]

You should draw your friends more. Those always end up really well

[@brttaney]

your style is so funky i love it

[@SheyTheGay]

I love seeing you do art

[@gabrielledrake9218]

I think it looked incredible honestly. I keep looking at it & you genuinely just did so well

[@tennysonh1532]

YEAHHHHH!!!! KRYOS PORTRAIT!!!

[@georgier4377]

pls never stop making videos like this man

[@shem7944]

i feel like i really love watching any drawing or painting video of yours cause we're on the same like.... wavelength i think?? or like at the same point in art.. i don't know, but i looove watching

[@Vorrupted]

A good way to start portraits is to start with a sketch to know where to place everything and check your proportions easily an example is starting with a circle and adding a Jaw shape below and adding lines where you should place your eyes,nose, and mouth

[@gottcha8013]

Loving the art videos!

[@bugorchard]

The chimney kind of looks like someone standing looking down at you, which is equal parts creepy and cool-looking. Also, I love this drawing! Self portraits are wild, and kinda funky. One of my favorite ones is "Portrait of a German Officer" by Marsden Hartley; I think you might like him.

[@glockwitabeam9417]

Your very talented John I mean your an artist in multiple category’s man keep it up no matter what video you post on any channel is still great content thanks for what you do man and keep it coming bro

[@FiLiX]

this is actually amazing

[@fernx8954]

loved this so much!!

[@gussylemcke]

This is such a cool style, kinda different from your other stuff but kinda similar too

[@haley.1]

love your style!

[@Static_Symphony]

Banger video and banger art style 👌👌

[@ze9h]

Awesome work dude. Truly inspiring. I think regular art would be an amazing addition. Maybe once a month or every 2 months. Could be really cool to see you progress and adapt your style.

[@madi.rediak]

he does more art on his second channel !

[@parkerccino]

your style is so distinct and i feel like it really suits you!! i love being able to see your art journey and seeing you improve n figure out what you like to create, you’re very skilled and i admire your work :-] self portraits are definitely difficult, but it’s impressive that you free handed it and managed to stylize everything! i just wanted to give a few tips, only take em if you need: it helps a lot putting down guidelines first so that everything is more proportional and you see the bigger picture better. the cliche art circle and cross for a head really does make a difference, it helps you distinguish where the facial features go and keeps things a little more symmetrical. eyes are usually one eye apart from each other. its definitely scary but try flipping your canvas every once in a while, you can definitely see more mistakes ie if something is crooked or unsymmetrical. even just taking a break from drawing for a bit can help cuz when you get back to it you can work with a fresher mind. and like ive seen others say already, dont be afraid to go darker with shading! contrast can help make a piece for sure. sorry that was a lot haha, ive just been an artist for a while n i thought those tips could help john or anyone else that read this and wants to give drawing a go edit: LMAO i just saw him say dont bother telling him to do the guidelines whoops go off kryoz do ur little art thing

[@theunluckyfourleaf]

hey! small tip fo krita, theres a tool that looks likea little pin, if you press that and go into i think its aditional settings you get a list of things that are fun

[@percy5680]

LESS GOOO MORE KRYOZ ART CONTENT

[@madi.rediak]

he has more on his second channel !

[@benvanderwell7700]

i love this shit, keep up the good work kryoz

[@temporalquarter9866]

OO have you ever tried charcoal arts, seeing your process of digital looks similar to the way I do my charcoal portraits!

[@BlackW0lfie]

I really like this self portrait. Looks like a caricature of you. I think your problem with the eye lies in its overal position and angle. Overall it is really good!

[@MopHead-sd2zq]

Pretty man

[@redwolfdragonkirangordondj2840]

It looks good man 👍👍👍👍 :p

[@shakemar]

Pure talent

[@pikapool4926]

Damn everytime he says man i dont like this or that im just thinking i wish i was half that good.. great content kryoz keep it up

[@kirkwood_legacy627]

Your very talented

[@joelkleist3598]

Love the art videos

[@benvanderwell7700]

i would love more art on this channel

[@allanvega-rios2179]

id love to see you do an art tutorial i feel like itd be hilarious to see you explain things

[@triniteearft4701]

I really want to see it colored!

[@monroerobbins7551]

Hey mate, A) I think you did pretty well! And B) when I did my first portrait, I hated it, and it didn’t look anything like me, but I still kept it. Cause it was my first piece of digital art, and I felt like while it didn’t capture my physical appearance right, I felt it captured what I wanted to present. I think that’s what you did. :)

[@michaelaguilera6946]

I never took kryoz as an artist but he's got great skill

[@madi.rediak]

yeah he does a lot of painting videos on his second channel

[@magnemerstrand2289]

100% would buy your art I love your art style

[@jenlightenment5001]

I love you, please keep it up!

[@evavv9960]

John, you and your self-portrait are looking very good today

[@claudiotorres6993]

Damn good amazing drawing.

[@lolstars9274]

Nice room kyroz

[@jordanhey3080]

Honestly when you stated talking towards the end and you said you were stating to like it less and less confused me because holy shit it just kept getting better and better! I think it looks off because the pupils are different sizes. Also, HELL YEAH KEEP GOING! Maybe you can make two, one with color and one without

[@Tiberadolphus]

Haven't watched yet but damn good way to start a morning!!

[@flymoolahman2763]

He just whipped out the different eye style and flipped my world upside down haha

[@natashaunfiltered]

I like that you're stepping out of the 'normal' because it's interesting seeing your style shine through in the self portrait. There's no better way for it to possibly be though.

[@madi.rediak]

john, i have to say i have never been more envious of someone. like if my teacher asked me who i want to be (literally) when i grow up.. i'd choose you 🚶‍♀️

[@buggyfresa]

“toes get damaged in the world of arts and crafts” as an artist, i can’t explain it but this is very accurate

[@cc09876]

noses are the hardest for me to draw but I've noticed that people tend to shade in the nose instead of drawing it with harsh lines; shade in the shape and such of the nose- don't outline the shadows of the nose. i hope that made sense. art of course is interpretive and there is no true right way but i hope it helps!

[@thatguymatt9886]

Some advice is to use a mirror for self portraits cause there is something about drawing something real than by looking at a photo but I still really like, keep it up

[@oddforoddssake3751]

Kryoz doing art. Never expected it, thoroughly welcoming it, always willing to support it! ♥️
