I really appreciate these types of videos. It’s relaxing and I get to see how the major shapes and strokes slowly build up into a masterpiece.

[@zinlimart]

Glad you like them!

[@griqs]

The roughness and texture adds to the quality of the overall style and it makes it so much more beautiful than realism

[@zinlimart]

We are impressionist/

[@DiegoLopez-rl3jk]

God, my exact words. Yeah, realism works are Indeed beatifull, but impressionism is just gorgeous

[@darrenflood2919]

That's the point

[@YourArtJournal]

Yes! That is very true!

[@rayangarrett8016]

I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@jpalberthoward9]

This is the kind of thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word "art". This is the real thing. You have captured her essence and it is spectacular. Very nicely done.

[@PencilDrawingAcademy]

Barry Ryan nice comment

[@KarlaTheMichelle]

Like RIGHT at the end 😂 I was waiting for it!

[@jimmyross4352]

From what initially appears to be approaching chaos, to a good likeness within 10 minutes. Then on upward to the beauty of the subject, expressed in a very ''painterly'' manor. All this despite the fact her lips are parted in the photo....a truly brilliant performance!

[@zinlimart]

Thanks for watching and your comment about the process, too!

[@jimmyross4352]

You're very welcome. Fascinating technique!

[@BlackLegASTRO]

at 10:52 it's already perfect for me. there's something appealling on that roughness and smudges of the portait. It gives off that incompleteness vibes that makes a person curios about what it looks like if you actually decide to finished it.

[@zinlimart]

My favorite stage is 5-10 minute as well.

[@sharonmayo5578]

Really beautiful. I love how your stokes transform into a work of art. Fasinating to watch. I am going to try this one later. Thank you.

[@michaelmcneil9506]

[@zinlimart]

Thanks for watching.

[@jojo-sf9lt]

Very impressive! I love this sort of rendering, with no millimeter accuracy and yet complety faithful to the original ! It gives a very expressive and contemporary look to the portrait, that's exactly how I would like to draw ! Still stuck with the grid pattern for the moment... picking techniques here and there to help me move away from it... May I ask you how much practice you needed to reach this result? And do you work from a picture the same size as your drawing or not necessarily? I mean I find it extremely hard to work from a small picture and keep the exact proportions when drawing a larger format. That's always a big challenge for me even with a grid pattern while you don't seem to be disturbed by this ! °.°

[@zinlimart]

What I believe is that practicing everyday is the best way to upgrade, no matter how long total hours spent. Life size is the best but hard to have have it from photo and live model due to the distance.

[@jojo-sf9lt]

Thank you for your answer !

[@XepApex]

Gorgeously, rendered.

[@zinlimart]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@IvanIvanov-ie1jc]

[@drakensecondhandsmoke6219]

I love how you do your style like it doesn't matter how rough the sketch was. I just want to say you fully got my attention right here and thanks for burning up my inspiration again:) btw I s my first time seeing you working and im so proud already.

[@jodders619]

Honestly I've been working away through Andrew Loomis's books trying to reacquire lost portrait skills. Right now I can't draw a portrait for toffee. I can produce a fairly decent sketch of any animal so long as I have a reference. Portraits are just damned elusive! Beautiful work and an inspiration to keep going!

Great video, but then they spoil it by speeding up the fine detail application at the end, and fading it to black before the other eye was finished, and didn't give us even five seconds to contemplate the final result. Madness!
