I was immediately reminded of titanic when seeing this! Jack is who got me into drawing! Cesar just made me really wanna travel and draw!!

[@RobertF-]

Always glad to see another episode. This drawing starts off so simply but I'm sure you slowly changed it into yet another masterpiece. Happy new decade to you and everyone watching. Take care.

[@jalopy2222]

[@juliesole6532]

Bruh cesar is so nice he added some cheekbones to the model

[@daikayll1897]

Its time Cesar ! The world is bubbling around you and your art is behind the curve man ! Carravagio got involved ? Titian got involved ? Rembrandt got nailed by it ? Come on man ? We know you can draw , paint etc. Its time you used your skill to put society to task and shine a light baby ! Come on. Lets use that skill , that power , that infleunce to international promenance and use.

[@accepttt2723]

Like your work as always . Thank you for the tips. I like your tshirt 👍🏾

[@paul_domici]

Thank you Cesar!!! There's no better way of learning than watching the masters process!!!

[@dancoduporte]

It is interesting to see the format in which this sketch works! Congratulations

[@lutz18692]

He gave up on that one pretty quick huh.

[@oniitv11]

A living legend. Im not really good in colors but I hope to paint like you someday. Your contents help me as an artist and I will use your teachings in my youtube channel. More love and support from me.

[@JonXVX]

I love the build quality of Stillman & Birn Sketchbooks, but I personally haven't found any of them to be compatible for graphite. Can I ask which specific Stillman & Birn you are using in this video? Thanks!

[@jorey4565]

Titanic remake with Cesar alias Jack..? I'm in !

Saludos desde Israel. Veo todos tus videos. Excelente trabajo Cesar!

[@jeffhreid]

Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all

[@jeffhreid]

Cesar, perfect video. Interesting that you seemed to not use the construct Loomis or Bridgeman method as you’ve done in the past but sorta dived into the forms. That’s a good tip that we don’t have to always use the same method.

[@watchvids7802]

Yea, interesting and surprising to see someone sketching from top to bottom!

[@lorenknowles1521]

Thanks my friend. I'm off to practice!

[@sharit7970]

Thanks for taking us through your process!

[@pablopaul8539]

Hola Cesar! Feliz Navidad y prospero año nuevo!

[@brianpite0893]

Cesar, you are doing two of my favorite things. Drawing portraits and Cruising! Did Rose show up?

[@ElijahH7101]

[@Beautyofcolors]

The level of detail is just amazing.

[@PeterChorao]

oh what fun it is to ride on a boat on the open ocean, jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way

[@amrsaed.]

Hi Cesar , you mentioned that u using 150 GSM paper sketchbook, I usually use 80GSM copy paper , and never use better quality paper, as I know, I better use good quality paper for finished drawings , but what about practice ?? I know that each type of paper has different feel when making marks with whatever drawing material I use ,and react differently for erasing mistakes, and blending , so how to get used to this without using good paper until making finished drawing Any advice?

[@fernandofer8060]

Ncl Norweian ESCAPE?? In 2017 I was there!!

[@mahie0310]

ohhh comon cesar you can show more then this easy drawing !

[@tangents6299]

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

How to size up or down a reference photo without grid or any proportional divider?

[@klavassassini]

Any chance of a full figure sketch? Maybe you could draw a model like one of your French girls! Lol

[@k.k8791]

Do you do all these steps every time you draw a portrait?

[@improvementTime10.3.17]

5:02 doesn’t want to measure too ,uch Mainly horizontal comparisons and planes kept in mind going forward 7:20 lookin like generic sculpture but it’s good that’s it 3D feeling Now you can go and adjust measurements to his features

[@johaunZ]

Thank You

[@j.mthierryjerome9296]

😍

[@silvanocosta1104]

Incrível

[@kevinmanning3753]

That's how I would love to draw without measuring but I can't!

[@davidowen-dudleyartist.7479]

Sorry Cesar and viewers for the number of entries, it just happened!!!

[@azleta7515]

Hi, I have a quick question about the sketching process. When it comes to creating a sketch/drawing, what do you think serves better as a reference, would you use a real person or an image of a person. This is to say, is drawing someone in front of you better than drawing a picture of a person? Why or why not?

[@jeffhreid]

You may initially find it easier to work from a photographic reference with a single light source which provides distinct light and shadow shapes. A photo is already flattened to 2 dimensions. As your skills increase you may prefer a live model as the 3 dimensional forms provide information that isn’t apparent in a photograph.

[@oaksmanor]

Remind me the Jack from the movie Titanic

[@berniestaggers1743]

Lol

[@adeelazahid]

Great!

[@ViktorLucca]

Hi Cesar,have you ever though about opening an Art school?

[@mrinalmajumdar1161]

Say No to Ocean Pollution with pencil lead!!!✌️😁✌️

[@christinas3757]

Cesar, Thanks for another great vlog! It looks like you all are enjoying the cruise. :D I noticed you hold your pencil completely different than what we're typically taught. Does it help to hold the pencil under like that, rather than resting it on top between your thumb and 1st finger (like taught with handwriting)? Have a Merry Christmas, and enjoy the rest of your journey at sea!

[@Angels-3xist]

Portraits seem to be mostly a practice like life drawing or any other learning process. Personally it seems inexpressive forms are more common to promote or when you are interested in expressive forms that they have to be cartoons. Which they don't. There are levels around and between these things. There is no right or wrong way or direction, but there is a glut of things which take very typical ones. Personally, my interest is first in capturing the things that I like and if I can do that then it's worth learning how to incorporate that into a skill you'd have less interest in replicating or that would be difficult work just to get a quality result. You do have to do the hard work eventually, but it is not what get's people motivated. Nor does talking about why people aren't motivated something motivational. Point is there are alot of videos I see coming from a direction which just has no interest for me personally and I bet that's true for alot of other artists as well. Telling you to do the most generic or boring thing first as if you need to crawl before you can walk. You can run. You can fly if you want. When I see something I want to copy it's because I am incentivized by qualities I love about it. Often is someone is not capturing part of what inspires them to work it becomes mechanical and devoid of interest. There are places for technicality and procedure and method. Personally I think the best way to inspire anyone is to appeal to what they love enough that the hard work of it is then incentivized. It's how people are. KZbin loves to pretend that there are no artists on their platform. Inspire people, don't just tell them to be robots. It's a shame that to get the things that inspire you, you have to look elsewhere for them when they could be and are where you already are.

[@kevinmanning3753]

Thankyou so much🎅🎅

[@alijunaid8972]

. Good one bro you are learning good . if need any help plz text back 😂😂

I wander If Cesar Santos reads his comment section

[@anilkatta2283]

What is the ideal distance between an artist & model to viewing the face correctly ? Best Regards 🙏

[@patrickwelch3274]

I wish I could sharpen pencils like that. Tried a thousand times and still break. Never could get it so moved on to monochromatic.

[@Belugia]

Bad is that during sketching this video is not sharp enough... only after 4,27. HB is ok . i dont like to sketch on such small formats.. :) and nose should be smaller... from my view... beside of COURSE great work, i like you :) merry christmas

[@Tscreation07]

👌👌👌

[@andreascrust8606]

Draw me like one of your French girls… 😉

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Could you do video on nocturnal plein air

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Please do more videos🙏🙏🙏

[@michaelmadison883]

focus?

[@michaelmadison883]

Once I can see it, was great. I would love to see you do the different head model, like Loomis and others, then show us your pattern in relation. love your work bro.

[@SubNorm4L]

@@michaelmadison883 He pretty much did the Loomis structure. Just skipping the ball construction step.

[@mugdays]

Oye, eres rapero!

[@KennyAllen-p5t]

He's a great artist but his choice in music for the video could be better, jingle bells!

[@222equinox]

someone needs to design a pencil sharpener for artists !!

[@syfunRTA]

This is great but why not just draw the look of nature right from the start?

[@joemoya9743]

Nice... but, the sketch needs to be in focus for it to be useful. Unfortunately, your hand or side of your face was the focal point for the lens.

[@ericanderson3417]

What's with jingle bells

I think he could have done a better job on the portrait

[@r.dinesh_watercolor]

Bad work

[@santocesart]

To share a quick sketch, while been distracted in a "vacation ship", with thousands of willing viewers is not to think in terms of bad or good.

[@davidowen-dudleyartist.7479]

Thanks for the tutorials. Have a happy Christmas a a very Happy New Year.
