I've been drawing since I was little. The last 5 or so years I've been trying realism, but I've been out of the game for a while. I happened to see this video in my recommended and wow...I'm so glad I clicked it. This guy is amazing and this video alone just inspired me to get back in the game. Thank you for making this video, you got me so excited and motivated to draw again. Not to sound corny but thank you Jason, you just gave me something extremely positive to look forward to every day now. Thank you 🙏

[@efeartz]

Thank you for being an inspiration to many other visual artists out there like me. God bless and prosper you!

[@soulbrigade504]

i love how you made it with whatever you have except other artists who buy's these stuff cuz as a artist i wanna learn how to make things with what i have not buy buying expensive art tools or the things i don't want and also cuz this video also started with beginner base which make it easy to learn for everyone, keep up the great work.

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Yeah, bro. I'm also like that I didn't always have access to high quality materials

[@richaaa8215]

Damn it turned out so good! ❤️I'm a Beginner and I don't have patience like I just wanna learn hyperrealism in 2-3 months even though it is not possible artists like you keep me motivated to practice everyday

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Yeah,, I'm happy with the results. I'm also lacking in the area of patience. But you know, you cannot be a pro at something without taking the time to hone your skills. Just focus on improving one drawing at a time and before you know it 4, 5 months will fly by like breeze

Awesome. You were giving me your experience of achieving hyper realistic effect on your portrait. I am also an artist, looking for such a video. But after a long search, I got to see your video. I got all what I wanted. You were explaining step by step how one can achieve this skill. Thankyou very much for posting this video. You are not only an artist but also ateacher. There is a good teacher hiding inside you. Thanks a lot. Let this good work continue. All the best for all your future ventures. May God bless you.

I really admire your personality. And the drawing... beautiful work! You just inspired me to kill excuses and create my own hyperrealistic piece

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Wow, Olivia, your comment is actually so motivating. Thanks for the feedback. But yeah we thrive the most when we leave the comfort zone. It's the reason I'm trying art forms I'm not used to these days. So glad you enjoyed the video. Hope to see you more ☺️☺️

[@drawingwithacompass]

true tour coment

[@sian5783]

This was amazing. Ive been aiming for hyper realism since I first started drawing in April 2020 and the fact you managed this in 9 hours of work is incredible. I’m watching videos of 100 + hours of work and thinking I don’t have the patience, but apparently you don’t either 😂. This video has also given me a boost of confidence in my own techniques and also given me a couple of pointers. I have also avoided mixing mediums thinking I should just stick with graphite, but struggling to get the dark values, and after seeing this I am definitely going to try adding in charcoal to my work. Thank you for sharing, this was inspirational and helpful 🙏👌

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Hey Sian. This drawing could be more realistic in the hands of experienced professionals. But like you said, I'm not the most patient so I just did the minimal details. Then again I also cropped the image so that I drew faster, didn't waste time on hair, the second cheek and whatnot. But by all means experiment with charcoal. If you don't like it you stop, simple.. But it'll be really helpful in getting dark shadows. Charcoal powder is helpful to achieve smooth and darker tones. It'll take a little practice to control but it'll be rewarding.

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

[@user-kt5uv8os5g]

Holy… i take this as a inspiration, pinterest/insta photos gets me so jealous but this… u can just see how much work you put in this art work. Hopefully i can reach this level at some day

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

It's very easy to get jealous rather than I inspired from people's drawing. But that can prevent you from having joy. Rather, when you see a wonderful artwork, try to notice what they did right and how you can incorporate it in your works.

[@user-kt5uv8os5g]

@@JasonLegendaryArt yeah, that is indeed true. But i have a little problem, because i have patience but i dont use my patience🙃 somehow im done with my portraits in 3 hours but won’t have a good result. But i also dont know how to get it closer to realism. or i try to make it better but mostlikely make it worse or i leave it by that. And 1 problem i maybe found out how to fix it… but when drawing i always look at an angle that its not from above so i wont have right proportions. Also i use the free hand technique to draw the sketch im going to use a grid from now on i think, to get it accurate.( hyper-realism ) also saw a community post a few days ago about longer videos, i would definitely watch that and learn. It’ll be fun if you do:))

[@josiajohnny]

Man , after watching you I can't make excuses that I have this art supply or that art supply to make good art . You have open my eyes man , If you can this can do it , atleast I can try doing it with whatever l ever have . I love your enthusiasm to learn new things it is amazing , even after being such a great artist you want to become better , it is watching people like you that makes my day . Hope I can reach the heights you have reached with your art one day , and on that day I will give you all the credit as you opened my eyes . Hope you understand the gratitude and importance of what you are doing in teaching everyone and making everyday more enjoyable during this covid times . I love you man , keep up with your good work , you have made my day again.

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Excellent. I started more seriously sketching after attending school through “Art Instructions School of Minneapolis, Minnesota.” I started simply by making a ball sitting on a piece of paper that looking down on it looked like a real ball sitting there. I’ve been doing so many other things that I haven’t dedicated as much time to drawing in the last 20 years, but I was terrible at the ink drawing. Painting and Pencil sketches were always easier and looked better. Again Excellent work!! ✌🏻
