How to Draw Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones

[@13Moondancer]

I tried this way of sketching: Best sketch I have ever done of my nephew - and I tried it with a biro. I can't believe how realistic my effort came out. I'm going to dedicate one sketch book to this style. Fabulous, informative technique. Many thanks.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

13Moondancer Yeah, it does take several layers of work at first. But once you get it, you'll be able to do it much faster.

[@niall2236]

Dude, thank you so much for this! Youve litterally changed the way i draw. Couldnt draw portraits to save my life before!

[@h0ckeyd]

This is brilliant Wei! Thank you very much! I've done about 4 of your drawings so far and nearly managed to do this one along with the video! Great stuff!!

[@AltafHussain-dz2qs]

Thanks Wei for giving us the tips

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thanks again.

[@am3ric4n0]

Nice job! The way to draw is simple, but the end result is amazing! I also like to draw like that! :D

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Felipe Cardoso Thanks.

[@ZekeNanationz]

Hi wei i want to thank you for showing me this technique of shading ive tried it for myself and it really improved my work thank you so much

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Zeke Nanationz Great!

[@markbernhardt4941]

Really helpful advice I have always believed great pencil portraiture owes so much to shading and you have captured this greatly in your tutorial ...also I like Tyrion too!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Mark Bernhardt Thanks Mark.

[@MrScougle]

Hi Wei: Thanks for the video on shading. I appreciated all the tips and suggestions and am looking forward to giving the shading style a try. Have a great day.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Paul O'Neill Cool, good luck. You can always show it to me my posting on my facebook page: facebook.com/ArtofWei

[@MrScougle]

I will when I do. It's a challenging piece. I love the penetrating eyes. It has a criminal predatorial look to it.

[@eddiecoss4002]

love that method. great job.he has strong charactor face .

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Eddie Coss Yes, very unique. Awesome character in the series and great acting.

[@darakbudhi]

I really admire your style. how you use those different kinds of shading and how soft you put the graphite unto the paper. it's the style i really like to adapt in my drawing.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

darakbudhi Thanks. It's pretty normal, just your standard shading techniques. Good luck.

[@vasillera4074]

Nice work. Tyrion' s expression is unique, he could be a model for painters. I am painting a series of portraits for him too. I am amazed by his strong look!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Portraits by Vasil Yes, really, he's got a bold look for sure.

[@suyashgautam5737]

more game of thrones characters please love these

[@rezadroidjr]

wow nice one, awesome btw, what kind of paper did you use, also your pencil mechanics, seems cool but it's have a different point...

[@tomradford8250]

I'm just glad I know what to do now because I always go heavy on the shading , thanks , subbed

[@Jcdennz92]

Its really a learnable lesson and i have learn a lot...thanks

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Kizito Dennis Thanks Kizito.

[@chandrakantchauhan4768]

This was so awesome ...will definitely try that .. i am just a beginner .. so thanks a lot

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Chandrakant Chauhan Thanks for watching.

[@imanevilbunneh]

now this I like great video well done!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Lina wolf Thanks Lina. Glad you like this one. He's a great character in the series and a very good actor too.

[@imanevilbunneh]

Art of Wei yes tyrion for da win!

[@jonssailing]

Thanks for this lesson on getting away from lines. Sometimes I abandon my drawings because my lines aren't accurate and I can't fix them, or won't just out of frustration. I'll try this on a new portrait I'm about to start.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Jonathan Landwer Well, I would suggest to not worry too much about accuracy in your drawing. The accuracy will come the more you draw because you'll be able to measure with your eye better and better. Continuing your drawing will have great benefit as it works in all the other areas of drawing, like shading, composition, and hand control. People get caught up in accuracy and never finish a portrait. If you need it to be exact, just trace it.

[@t-72k16]

Art of Wei Great advice, i too find myself not being very accurate, and your right i just need to finish it and allow myself to slowly get better

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Smokey Adventures Yup, happens to all of us. Just remember it's never about one drawing, it's about thousands of drawings, so don't get caught up in one.

[@priyamdeshwal2157]

It is so easy to learn from your videos

[@gabrielmagister6072]

Thank you for posting this. This is extremely helpful.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Gabriel Magister Thanks for watching

[@yahushaking4367]

is it a 2.3 mm pencil a 4b?can you post a link of the tools and where to buy them?

[@rasimbayramov4961]

Very good lesson helped so much.oh do you know Ilya Kuvshinov? Can you say how is he able to draw these beautiful pieces of art I'm really curious about this. I'm not trying to copy his style or something like that.I just want to know where did he start. Basic knowledge about human face,body (I really need female )structure .I really want get to his level That sounds kinda dumb but you get it :D

[@martiantony777]

I like the video, and also love the intro! simple and direct!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Bogdan Anton Thanks Bogdan.

[@frankbikashg]

I really like the way u draw and teach.. I learn a lot from ur videos so I wish Abd I want you to draw batman.. Hyper realistic batman sketch..

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+bikash ghimire Thanks bikash

[@cheyenneleefrutovizmanos9334]

do you repeat your work at the finishing scribbles, or its just my imagination?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+cheyenne vizmanos not sure what you mean there. Maybe it's a bad translation?

[@malcolmz3626]

Could you do another realistic tutorial with the shading less scratchy looking?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

malcolm z If I had drawn on a smoother paper then you'll get a smoother look. I might do that in the future. Thanks.

[@zzhomeboy1]

This is amazing!

[@heapner]

Wow your an awesome teacher!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

heapner Thanks heapner.

[@addycool444]

Wonderful, gonna try this method, thanks bro you are amazing

[@ThredZonePlus]

Another great video! Do you ever use blending stumps or is that just not your preference? I do but if I could shade like you I wouldn't need them.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Michael Johnson Hi Michael, I don't use the stump much. Not too crazy about the smooth look on drawings.

[@ThredZonePlus]

ok thanks for your response.

[@cheyenneleefrutovizmanos9334]

great work!

[@joanqueen8009]

First time viewing your video. Hope u have lessons or useful advise for beginners. I rarely draw but want to learn. I can only like kid now. I try to read drawing to the right side of mind at the moment

[@joanqueen8009]

Draw like a kid I mean

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Maggie Lee I never got into drawing with the right side of the brain stuff. I never read that book. I just draw. Just draw and things will come naturally. There's a learning process and will come naturally through practice. Trust me on that one.

[@pierrebeaulieu5618]

Really cool tutorial !!!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Madison Scinta Thanks for watching Madison

[@LuizHenrique-ug9oo]

What is the weight of the paper you use ... and what is the mark?

[@toddcercone6715]

LOL I used to get yelled at by instructors at the Art Institute for using this shading method. I love the randomness of continually scribbling and shaping it like a sculpture.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Todd Cercone That's not cool by your instructor. Any method of art is good if it suits your needs. There's nothing odd about this kind of workflow though, it's pretty normal.

[@yahushaking4367]

every artist ends up developing His own method, if not you haven't evolved in your art.

[@trekranger]

What kind of pencils are you using ? Where can I get them.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

trekranger It's a regular 2B and 4B pencil. You can find it at any art store.

[@srk_freestyle4062]

What kind of pencil u used....? Amazing art

[@thejeffandlupeshowofficial7462]

I really like how you draw. As well as how you shade your drawings, you make it look very simple and realistic. What pencil were you using in the video? I usually shade with a regular graphite or mechanical pencil. My only problem with shading, is that when it is a light area I end up accidentally putting dark marks on it. Blending the light/dark areas seems to be hard for me.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

TheJeffandLupeShow Official I usually use a 2B for general drawing and light shading, then I'll use a 4B and sometimes a 6B for those really dark areas.

[@thejeffandlupeshowofficial7462]

Thanks.

[@tonisomething]

at one point, it looked like david carradine to me lol. great sketch though, i'm going to try this exercise one day

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+tonisomething =).. hah, kung fu!

[@majnooart]

wonderful amaizing

[@jpaganeng]

This is such a helpful video to me. I'm teaching myself how to draw and HATE making guidelines. Your video gives me hope at some point I'll be able to not use them most of the time.

[@maltinooo]

Thank you :) You are a good artist. Do you use a black pen?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+maltinooo Thanks. I do, but I like pencil much better.

[@maltinooo]

+Art of Wei Thank you for the answer. Keep at it, you are very good, i forgott the word "very".

[@Anonyme_1205]

congratulations !!!! , but complete drawing please !!!! in real time , for to see .......thank you

[@ArtofWeiHo]

elvis massaro Thanks elvis, but that would take too long of a video. You might fall asleep=).

[@Anonyme_1205]

how many time for that portrait ?

[@MegaGary1960]

great stuff once again

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+MegaGary1960 Thanks again=).

[@RADTRIP]

You should draw Gandalf!

[@abdallahallam5659]

very good drawing sir . i have question is it better learn to draw from your mind or to put another object front of you and then try to transfer it to drawing ?

[@toddcercone6715]

Zoro Allam I always say the more you draw from reference, the easier it is to draw from your imagination. You get better the more you draw correctly. I hope that helps.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Todd Cercone Thanks Todd, that is exactly what I was planning on saying. Draw from reference as much as you can, even when you're coming up with your own stuff, use references for your needs. ALL the artist I've seen do that.

[@nguyenbenny]

what pencil are you using in the video?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

4B

[@yahushaking4367]

it is a little bit like using charcoal you are not doing a lay out .saves time a lot of time.

[@COLORPAPERPRINCESS]

lovely!!! :) i subscribed

[@BeyCinema]

Great video! Really helped a lot. Where did you get that mechanical pencil? I'm really curious haha. Thanks!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+BeyCinema It's a mechanical lead holder. You can buy them in any art store. It's about $10.

[@BeyCinema]

+Art of Wei Thank you haha. How thick is the lead?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+BeyCinema It's regular graphite pencil size. The mechanical pencil holder is not those thin ones, it holds regular sized lead. It's slightly cheaper than using wooden pencils.

[@eotmb]

+BeyCinema it's a 2 milimeter lead
