[@jekaterinanemeth3052]

Очень Красивый и живописный портрет!!! БРАВО! Благодарю Вас за видео! 🤩🤩🤩♥️♥️♥️😊🌹🍀🎁

[@eye12believe]

I am amazed, especially the eyes, they seem almost alive. very deep and soulful. beautiful portrait.

[@texrtst]

I can not believe all the negative comments, I think the little girl is adorable and you did a wonderful expert job in rendering her. It is very hard to keep a child focused and still, I love the pastel painting.

[@cadalae]

this is absolutely insane for 30 mins of work and for a sitting with a kid. Beautiful art.

[@josephwunstell1008]

Very beautiful, real talent and obviously a lot of skill and practice

[@juniorchoqueliberato9906]

Increíble. !

[@7000bass]

This is the sharp end of modern art. To be able to do this is in that time limit blows everything else out of the water. To capture the essence of a fidgety little darling girl. Just awesome 👏 Any critics...can you do this?

[@dougg1075]

Witness how professional you can become by working all day everyday. Amazing

[@smitak5579]

That girl is so cute and patient!

Yes it is a leadholder but the mine in it is a Sepia light from "La toison d'or" (previously Koh-I-Noor ) but you can do your sketch with a Conté 2430 or 2454. I use dark brown for the nostrils no black (never). This is a Sepia dark from the same brand I mentioned.The black I use around the eyes is a Conté Pierre noire pencil.

[@willdixon9525]

Nice artwork, Watching while I paint. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@lotusblossom2040]

[@somali-artist]

I like portrait bro

[@pepitobambou8433]

Formidable talent. Chapeau bas l artiste!!!

Making your own pastels cost you 10 times less that buying them but it is time consuming. It is interresting if you use a lot. I make my pastel to have my own hues and right softness for my paper. IF I have a lot of request I will make a vid showing my colors.

[@mehmetsbirlik4112]

You're be coming my inspiration more and more every time when I watched your channel. You're giving me more work to do. Thank you.

[@mrmotinjo]

I am amazed. I almost expected the portrait to move. The eyes are so real O_O

[@sooziezoo]

Magnifique bravo

[@MsRodrigoAlvarez]

Que belleza

[@shrayashreebasak9779]

Wow 👌👌👌👍

[@Darknight0681]

Absolutely sweet work though. The genius of it IMO is how simple the values are, yet how complex it still looks to the eye. Great job on the value breakdowns.

[@MariaFiorellaBorrini8]

Perfect! Bravo!👏

[@AnitaAmbrister]

Fantastic! 💕🎨

[@cbro777]

When he detailed those 5:00 eyes you knew this was about to be amazing. Quand il a détaillé ces yeux, vous saviez que cela allait être incroyable.

Nice drawing

[@lotus615]

SUPERBE!WOW!

[@colinhayton8987]

Beautiful. Wish I could be half as good myself.

[@Hikasita]

is so perfect... I want to make myself one as I'm not good at doing realistic drawings.. and if it looks fine I want to do one for a friend, so seeing this video helps a lot. Thankyu!

[@loleex3]

This is amazing.

I use my own pastel for skin tones and background. Next to them, I use fabercastell for details and Rembrands especially for intense black and bright colours.

[@miky78]

at 6:20 i was waiting for your portrait to blinkin'... :D perfection!

[@Darknight0681]

Here's the element of this that I think a lot of people complaining about this feature not being brought out enough or this looking too subtle, or whatever need to realize. This is essentially retail art, which means while you have to pay attention to the subject you also have to make sure you're getting a rough estimate of the tastes of the people getting the drawing is too. That means things get cut sometimes in order to ensure the work sells. I'm quite sure he knows full well what he's doing and would've done much of everything some of you mentioned if he was doing this for himself.

[@TheArtyMummy]

Beautiful work, have subscribed. 💖

[@Aaron-fg1uc]

SOOOO GOOOOOD!!

[@jenny294511]

Sublime ! portrait très ressemblant, bravo l'artiste !!!

[@gianemarques3423]

Impressionante

[@ILLUMINEM1]

absolutely amazing, your very talented 80 euros really isnt much a price for this!

[@OmkaraD]

This is insane!!!

[@TheMishaart]

My God - this is A-MAzing! :)

[@EnriqueAnguloYuste]

Simplemente magnifico

[@rakethuseynova5220]

Bravo👏!

I kept in the video only the very active steps, no need to waste time with the moments you don't see my hand on the canvas....And I don't want to speed up the video too much. Thanks for your pertinent question:)

[@vitaminwatermhmm]

This is amazing!

@archangelmike07 Most of the pastel I use are home made. I also use Rembrandt for details

[@fabiolagreco5853]

Bravissimo! Complimenti davvero!

[@dougg1075]

Whatever they paid it should have been double. Beautiful

[@Silverbleedy]

Gorgeous :3 It's my dream to draw like you someday. Tho I'm still failing with colors.

I use mainly my own pastels, home made, some Rembrandt and Faber Castell for details.

[@susanvaughn1228]

I would love to know how you make your pastels. I noticed that the original sketch is preserved while you are placing the skin tone on the face. When I use my pastel pencils to sketch out my portrait, I lose the sketch beneath the skin tone layer of pastel. I believe you use the Cretacolor Ergonomic for graphite lead? When you placed the darker details on the lid and around the eyes, it looked as if you were using a marker of some kind. What did you use for the darker details around her eyes?

[@rainbowcrayon37]

This is amazing! It would have been cool to see the girl's reaction when she was the picture. :)

pastel is a material to use on grainy paper or velour paper, unless your printing paper is a bit grainy, you can't use pastels on it.

[@QraQrJaq]

amazing

[@lisandromaranzana1033]

muy bueno

[@mitchy52g.71]

woww !! increíble tanto realismo que son pasteles?

[@clevetidwell]

Beautiful, I would like to know the color you used for the face. Thank you

[@Mad9977]

pretty amazing =)

[@laranjo123]

whta kind of paper art material didi use in there?

[@TT-ss3fy]

Makes me wonder why art museums like to show off anything simpler than works such as these

[@jkhall9665]

Yup!

[@RafaelGimenez-f2r]

Bravisimoooooo

[@archangelmike07]

@GerardMin wow!! you actually make your own pastel, can you make a video on how to make pastel, I mean if you can give us your secrete!! hehehe!!! Thanks!!

[@F1963Mtl]

Bonjour, Beau portrait surtout en 30 minutes! La 1ere couche de couleur pour les cheveux : est-ce du noir ?

[@ahmedaly5213]

excellent

[@ameyaptk]

This is amazing. When you did her eyes, I sort of felt something amiss in her hair! But, you did her hair wonderfully later! I was highly impressed by the way you did her hair! Can you please tell me which types of 'off-the-shelf' pastels can we use in place of your home made pastels which can give the desired effect? Also are there any tools for smudging these pastels? Thanks! Brilliant job again!

[@AnnaPoli800]

what pastels are you using??? very nice work..

[@sawri]

Ah, right. That makes more sense, sorry I hang myself up on details all the time. Strength and weakness.

[@EasternTriad]

@GerardMin Mr. Gerard- I'd like to throw my vote in favor of a vid showing your colors, perhaps even how you make them. Needless to say, you are a remarkable artist with a wealth of knowledge to impart to those with less experience. BTW, a couple of questions: 1) Was that a leadholder with graphite lead that you were using in the beginning? 2) Did you use a black marker on the nose and other places? Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

[@beltranfermin2668]

💯 puntos👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
