[@rrasch8125]

This is like drawing architectural plans and kills any free creative flow..I see a lot of this style of portrait drawing online, and it simply stifles creativity and boring in my opinion. With this level of guides used, you may as well trace the image. There aren’t enough tutorials out there to teach beginners to simply look carefully at what they are trying to draw and simply practice.

[@fco9944]

I see a lot of thinking like yours, please goto art academy and stay there all your life....

[@Odysseus_Outis]

Amazing work!!!. I learned a lot just watching it. Thanks for the video. Question : How did you come up with all that proportion numbers?. By measurement of the original photo?.

[@robertjackson301]

I see many similar videos and can only conclude that you are taking these measurements from the photographs. If this is the case I see no difference or benefit over gridding. If I have made the wrong conclusion please put me right.

[@neelumahendra4695]

Grids are fixed. ……. this is tailer made

[@robertjackson301]

@@neelumahendra4695 This is too brief to make sense. Can you explain why it’s tailor made please?

[@mohitsrivastav3554]

​@@robertjackson301 the method he used does require measuring the image but only some parts. Others need a good hand - eye coordination. There are many artists who draw without measurement. Grid method makes you measure everything, because every line you place, you have to consult the grid. Grid method gives no development to your hand eye coordination and neither is it good for study, since you don't simplify the object I hope you understand

[@robertjackson301]

@@mohitsrivastav3554 The idea of copying a photograph is to produce as close as possible a facsimile of the photograph and the closer you achieve that goal the more satisfied you are. When you draw or paint a real life model you are attempting much more and I have seen people who are very good at the former and pretty useless at the latter.

[@mohitsrivastav3554]

@@robertjackson301 Another reason why grid method is not a good option. You cannot place grid on real life models. It boils down to measure by hand and hand eye coordination. And drawing from photograph need not always be 100%. Some prefer to add their own features while some try to add rhythm and flow to a photograph. Regardless of the motive, one thing is common. Grid method holds you back. Believe me. I talk from experience

[@jennifergraham6896]

This circle method works very well. Each artist I've watched do this uses the lines differently. I guess it has to do with the point of view?

[@ulyssecordier]

Really, thank you ! I have never made such a realistic drawing in my life, by far! It takes time, a lot of time, around 8 hours for me, but the result is there, even though I am only a beginner. I didn't think I would do so well.

[@erickgreene12]

Did you draw this?

[@ulyssecordier]

@@erickgreene12 Yes, that's what I said. You have to be patient, but the end result is almost as good as the video.

[@rohith927]

Agreed! I'm a beginner too and I can produce pretty much the same result but it's just that it takes more time for me. I believe I will be able to improve my speed with experience.

[@_msrsomethingserious_]

Did you draw a same picture or something else different?

[@ulyssecordier]

@@_msrsomethingserious_ First I did exactly the one in the video, and after spending some time on it, it came out really clean. I also applied this method to other faces. The first few times, there may be a few mistakes, but with a bit of practice, you'll get other faces just as well using this method. The hardest part is the hair.

[@Doctor_Clump]

Hello, I'm going to write this as professionally as I can, to help illustrate the gravity and graciousness of your art. To start with the small effects: The sounds are calming, almost hypnotic, I often use similar ocean sounds to help me sleep. These relaxed tones not only help you relax, they invoke certain aspects of culture that can influence your art. Music is a great gateway into visual art, and the sounds you've chosen are great for these relaxed videos. The gentle yet precise strokes of the pencil make me think of the precise and methodically placed slices of pepperoni that would be spread upon a great pizza. This pizza would entice and fulfill the notions of the tribe, where the elders sought peace and understanding, we have placed a light yet crispy crust, with just right amount of salt. Where they struggled for rights and independence, we placed a tangy marinara and Italian seasoning. And where they fought for what the great ones left them, we spread meat and cheese, and we baked that struggle at 400°c for around 15 - 20 mins. Where upon we would check if the many ingredients of pizz..I mean peace..had been assembled per the teachings of the great...Papa John. I...may have got distracted..my apologies.

I love your tutorials... very informative... May I be so bold as to make a suggestion? I've been looking across youtube and the internet for free portrait drawing tutorials for my 11 year old who is interested in art and drawing. There seems to be a serious lack of REAL TIME portrait drawing (like 1 to 2 hours per portrait and only 1 to 3 pencils used). She's mastered basic outline sketching, but I'd like her to learn to do realistic shading with just a couple different graphite pencils, but there seems to be no tutorials for this. If you ever decide to make a playlist of REAL TIME PORTRAIT DRAWING from start to finish with just a couple pencils for simplicity, I'll share it across all my homeschooling audience groups I'm in on social media. I know this would be of interest to many. It seems like tons of artists are speeding their videos up (which is no help to beginners) or going super deep on only one part like just sharing techniques on eye's or skin or nose etc... no one is actually doing a 1 to 2 hour portrait drawing video (I've actually only found 3 videos so far on youtube and can't find more)... sorry for the long winded rant! All the best with your art channel. Your tutorials are very good.

I love your drawing, your finesse, the result is sublime ... but my problem I hate calculating with compasses and rulers, more technical or industrial drawing for me, personally I am for the academic method, raising awareness and teaching the eye to see the right proportions without tools and to transmit them on its medium... there is no secret apart from practice, practice, practice and above all loving to practice constantly... when we love we don't count.

[@eddiemunson7931]

i can say maybe gonna rude but, i think lumis method is garbage. Why? Ok its good for drawing Faces, not portraits. Why? Because portrait its hard composition of distances, and if u miss somee distance for exampe nose height or eye size, u r done. The person u have drawed will be different, and 100% u will be dissapointed. I dont know how real artists draw exactly without camera, but it need to use some hints, as ruler or penciil by Eye, cause its VERY hard to draw similar distances without missing something. Maybe after long years of practice u will draw faster and more precise, but anyway u r human, and still can miss. I dont even talk about newbs who want to draw, and after these "magician" lessons on youtube think, that they can draw after watching videos. I dont want to blame author or someone else. I just tell my thoughts as scultor, that portaraits is very hard thing to sculpt or draw, no, even not hard, PRECISE thing. So if u want to draw or sculpts dont fly in the clouds, u need to work hard if u hope for good result. OR use some hints.

[@28silambarasan.p99]

Ok bro i accepted your opinion can you tell me which method is better than lumis method
