PORTRAIT DRAWING MISTAKES 80% Artists make & how to fix them

[@konsemietwinn]

Before I found this channel,all my artworks were free hand drawn ,trust me it requires a lot of time and it's like you have to look at the drawing and the reference multiple times just to get that match .....But when I first used grid.....time was saved the atmosphere even changed ,getting that match with ease and it is what I use right now

Thanks a bunch

[@YazminGodfrey]

@@JasonLegendaryArt sorry! So charcoal comes in different shades right? Like I have the Jakar compressed charcoal- assorted grey set. I’ve seen in your other video that you have hard, medium and soft charcoal pencils With your powder - do you use different shades to achieve different values. Or do you use 1 shade of powder and achieve different values by layering and blending?

Can i please get a link to the picture displayed as the opening page

[@ArtBuddyIndian]

Which site do you use for reference photos

[@1223santigato]

I would recomend using the grid method only after the artist have mastered freehand beacuse the grid method will hamper your versatility and growth as an artist, is like cornering yourself as an artist. only after mastering the freehand method is better to use the grid becuase as a professional artist speed to finish the piece means conservation of energy and faster production with less burnout. The better an artist is when conceptualizing a piece the better the piece will be and the more of the artist will shine through the piece. If the artist is fully mechanical like in the case of the hyperrealist in where the artist is copying from a referencence, then the artist dont exist no more and have become a human photocopy machine but less afficient than a the machine itself, there is no creative endeavor or personal twist, that means that the craftsman (not an artist) is competing with a machine in the same arena because both use pigments. also the grid method helps to take away the energy already lacking in the very static hyperrealisting work. as a matter of fact only use the grid when strictly needed like in the case of art commissions that are 1 to 1 replications of the reference but no more. with the grid method and hyperrealism all of your pieces will like yust like the previous and the next one but worst of all, your art will just like the other artists that do the same, thats how artists tend to disappear.

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Use Strathmore Bristol Smooth

[@wild_central]

@@JasonLegendaryArt can I find this one in Nigeria?😭😭😭😭😭😂

[@minetruly]

Try to order it online. If you can't, look for a similar product. Look in art specialty stores or maybe stores that sell drafting supplies for architects and engineers. Bristol board is a very thick, stiff paper. But not as thick as cardboard. Maybe 1mm thick. Strathmore Bristol Board is sold as a sketchbook with Bristol Board for pages. When he says smooth, he means SMOOTH. It will be smoother than printer paper or writing paper. When you stroke it with your fingers, you will not feel any rough texture. I always get it as like 11*17 inches or 12*18 inches.
