How did he form this masterpiece from some scribbles and guidelines? 😭❤

[@ruru_nii4800]

Practice!

[@o_o3684]

How wouldn’t you they are guidelines lol

[@fsd2696]

@@o_o3684 Well as a self taught artist myself guidelines never really helped me. In fact most artists who've I've befriended and come in contact with have said the same thing.

[@fakeacc857]

@@fsd2696 be loose dont fucos too much on the detail or you'll lose the overall form. Dont be afraid to be loose be calm and let your hands flow. Once your done with the form you can add the details after. I'm a self taught artist my self.

[@renidere]

@@fsd2696 I’m self taught as well and in my(amateur) opinion, guidelines can be for 90% of beginner-intermediate artists, it’s just that majority of them tend to use the wrong guidelines. Guidelines are meant to guide YOU and help YOU with proportion, placement, etc. If using the same guidelines this guy uses doesn’t help you at all and is uncomfortable, then they’re not for you! You have to know exactly what you’re doing and be very skilled to be able to draw perfect proportions without any sort of planning or guidelines, and those types of people wouldn’t be watching a sketching tutorial. There’s probably a 90% chance you do use guidelines of some kind, just not strict ones like you see others use. But then again, I don’t know you or how you draw, I’m just some random kid online with an opinion lol

[@memesouls8653]

A lot of people want to head straight to the details, but the thing they are missing is structure. You can’t have a good proportions if you don’t have a solid sketch of the defining features of the subject you are drawing. Once you have the basics down that’s when you can start adding detail.

[@jvlsgames4446]

Confidence and training, two fundamental pillars to draw well. My congratulations for the drawing, for the precision of the lines, for a sketch that's amazing!

[@giovannylopez600]

Thanks for telling me that it's ok to hold my pencil as if writing when drawing in a sketch book. Little details like that helps a lot.

[@afoxwithahat7846]

That's, simply put, the best tutorial I've ever seen. It had basically everything I needed to start, and so I did the day after I watched it.

Hello Yong, I’m Portuguese, and I love Art, you help me very much, thank you 🙏

[@YongChen]

Happy to hear that!

[@kavya914]

This is how one should teach art...not just telling them to copy exactly what they see. 🙏🙏

[@lakeishabarbero9111]

What a great art teacher. Now I already found out my mistakes in sketching

[@aadityarai4829]

I'm learning watching Ur video at middle of night☺️

[@YongChen]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@krisannecajano9684]

Teacher..... I am so impress when people draw image especially when they achieve proportion without using grid... I hope I coul be able to achieve.. this kind of level of artistry... Great videos huge help for beginners like me.

[@marianneformeloza9992]

The part of getting the proportions and right contrast really helped a lot .. feels like progress while laying on the bed

[@marshawilliams3906]

I love watching you teach! Such a great teacher. "Ooh that's good" 😁

[@entropyfun]

Basically you observe big shapes and proportions first, then details. And knowing what details to focus on and bring to the drawing comes with experience

[@Jason-ek6gc]

Ive learned more in this video than i have in my entire last semester of art class.

[@TheLunarElixir]

This is super helpful! I'm trying to learn how to draw from life and I have no idea where to start when it comes to composition, framing, proportions, perspective...etc. Thank you for walking us through your thinking and approach to drawing a person! I learned a lot from seeing how you do measurements, composition, and shading.

[@cambrown8023]

When you do another drawing video, can you do an inset shot of what you're drawing? That way we can see continuously what you're seeing and see how you were able to tie everything on paper together, such as how the shoulder line meets the nose, and etc. Thanks! : D

[@sharayupalkar5138]

Yong I wished I could sketch with as much confidence. I need to be able to map out features as quickly. What ratio do use for young children faces?

[@laurishaw7788]

Hi Laura. Andrew Loomis has an excellent book called Drawing the Head and Hands that I would recommend as it describes children's heads from infants to teenagers. This would be the starting point for ratios, knowing that one must possibly adjust for a specific individual's uniqueness.
