Even after 4 years, I am still watching this channel.

[@jojojo8835]

Me too- coach’s style is still evolving, I still learn something new every time

[@jasoncullmann157]

How ya find out its 4 yrs??

[@chukukaogude5894]

@@jasoncullmann157 2020, lost my job, moved back in with my parents, had nothing else to do. I always wanted to invest in my art skills but didn't have the time. I found this channel and learned a lot! This channel helped me build the foundation. Now I can understand and implement many art concepts. Remember to sign up for his free paint week.

Me too, I’ve been watching this man for so long!

[@GregoryFord98]

Same here and l don't even really paint. I do draw though

[@yensid4294]

Sight sizing & proportional measuring is a good skill to have especially when working from life :) If you have problems with value & are working from a photograph, convert it to grey scale or print it out in B&W in addition to your full color reference. In life drawing situations, red rubilith (a piece of red tinted plastic) makes a good filter viewfinder that makes seeing the values easier since it obscures the color & details similar to squinting. (Just tricks I learned in a classical atelier ) A simple rule that can be helpful is change of plane, change of value. So many different approaches to drawing & painting, use what works for you :D

In all my years of painting, I've learned so much from you and your videos. Thank you 😊

[@Artist_Kevin]

Using Faber castle Aqua color pencils let's you wipe away the grid with water once your reference is blocked in. Game changer for me.

[@tiagodagostini]

Colored pencils donot interact badly with oil, so you can just cover the pencil with oil paint

[@jarjar0653]

[@markaguzmanartist630]

Hey your very good using the Loomis method I love the loomise books please do more on loomise step by step please thank you do front view and side view

[@makayla3694]

Oh gosh. Thank you. I love you 🙏😭

Lots of good info, thank you! 😊

[@joelsdeske]

How many months did it take you to master the use of the Loomis method?

[@viktoriyarts]

What I mainly learned from portrait art is if you want an expressive result, don’t finish a painting, if you don’t, finish it 😅

[@melindahamsher2799]

ah yes, the ole "preserve your drawing" issue. #1 reason I went to freehand. Much harder to get likeness but it truely so much more alive.

[@walteryoung8793]

What is the name if the book about the Loomis head method?

[@ekaterinadekalenkova7003]

can someone recommend a free app/online tool to easily break the reference picture down into values?

[@paintcoach]

Value Study

[@morebagful]

I think there is a mistake here 3x4 and 16x20 is not the same aspect ratio

[@paintcoach]

Oops you’re right. Meant to say 18x24

[@shuvoDhar.5537]

Or you can practice. Grids are for children. Just as well photo copy it onto the canvas.
