Alright, you convinced me. I do the 100 heads challenge. I don't like drawing/painting portraits at all, but because I want to do a dozen or so of people who inspire me anyway, I can also expand it to the 100 heads and incorporate those I really WANT to draw. After talking me into sketchendeavour which made my sketches much more elaborate than I ever thought you're talking me into another endeavour of something I always tried to avoid ^^

Thank you Andrew, love to watch you draw. Great challenge!

You have grown so much since I first stumbled across your channel around 2017! So much of Life has changed. I truly regret not jumping on to the chance to joining you on my art journey rather than letting all the distractions of Life crowd out my life’s desire as an artist. Now I am legally blind and can barely see the letters and images on my call phones keyboard! It’s so frustrating! AND it’s infuriating to consider all the years that I wasted being overly sensitive to the opinion of others in my life telling me what my art should be…😢 I’m going to start going to a new eye specialist next week and I’m hoping for the best possible outcome 🙏Perhaps I will be granted to do what I have loved from childhood and not allow anybody or anything rob me of it again. Keep drawing and painting to your heart’s desire. You are an Inspiration! ✍️

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Bless you Antoinette! Thank you so much for this comment. I truly hope and pray that your situation with your eyes improves. ❤️🙏

These videos are always very humbling. And also like a meditation for me. :)

[@susansumnerroberts9617]

Great idea. I've started, done 4. Thanks for suggestion. ❤

[@Fsuholley]

So thankful for your newest video release. I always enjoy hearing your perspective about things. Great sketching. ❤

[@kimberlyrivard6945]

Thanks Andrew. Great challenge. Very cool.

[@MarcLaisneARTVenture]

great drawing man . I love how you go for big masses first ❤️❤️ great style

[@TheMXMMK]

It’s great to hear that you have inspiration pics/examples that are years old. I always struggle with the idea that I haven’t done them and wonder if I ever will because of the “life” thing getting in the way. That was something I needed to hear thank you.

[@KeyArtGallery]

Very very inspiring demos sir ❤🌼💐🙏

[@chrisgriffith1573]

When I was in high school, I had mad skills with a pencil, it was the ONLY thing I had back then, and it took me decades to overcome the habit of thinking surrounding the way I projected my thinking into a subject, now, I wish I had some of those skills back...

[@perrysdrawings2650]

Great work as always… I like that you’re constantly experimenting and learning new techniques.

[@HerradaJulio]

Excellent, nice to see you back to graphite. Thanks

[@andrewcrossey1250]

Hey, thanks for the pointer to the Staedtler Mars Lumograph black pencils. Not heard of them before and just what I've been looking for. Great pencil for dark shadows - thanks.

[@silentstreets]

i feel inspired to try this and improve myself, i love teh cross hatching style, i would love to be able to adopt that for my own work, so practice practice i guess hahah thnaks for sharing your amazing work x

[@Diegojavbau]

So beautifull video , very pleasant to watch , you are seriously good !!!!! amazing portraits

[@adam-p4n9p]

excellent work mate.

[@LuoDrawing]

The outline of the sketch and the depiction of details appear very natural and smooth, without excessive embellishment, but can make the viewer feel a strong sense of reality and three dimensionality😆😘😙☺🤭🤗😝🤐🤨😐🥲😙🤐🤨😐

[@Cakes858]

This is good catalyst for a procrastinator...1 down...99 to go.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Get into it! You're off and running!

[@GenX4ever]

Excellent work, sir! Also, your production of your videos and narration is stellar.Pencil and paper are fundamental and free. Do you ever work with water color? I didn't see anything on your channel. Cheers!

[@Kimberly-uq9pl]

Beautiful drawings, two questions... do you prefer graphite over charcoal? and #2 do you ever start a drawing where you aren't able to get proportions right and have to erase??? please say yes hahah P.S. LOVE your podcast!

[@Ramesh_009]

Nice, nd cool sketches🎉❤

[@kerrysloan5842]

This is hands down the best drawing painting channel on KZbin ❤

[@colinthomson7518]

Great Drawings

[@annegreen4667]

Andrew , do you seal the finished drawing once finished to prevent smudging please ? The technique you use here is how I draw... defining mid darks and mid lights first ..Thankyou.I'm always inspired. I tried to join the Academy but due to joining at wrong time of my financial week, up date was inclined. I will try again next week .

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Yes I do! I use spray fixative!

[@annegreen4667]

@@AndrewTischlerArt I meant also to ask which fixative do you recommend please... thankyou for your reply Cheers

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

There are several that are great, I use a product made by Helmar, called Crystal Kote.

[@danielmorris6675]

Hello Andrew. A question: for these 100 heads, roughly how long are you spending on one head? Thank you. Daniel

[@MayaDrawingArt]

Fantastic and beautiful 💐💐💐💐 10:44

[@CaidArts]

[@daveydangr]

how long are you spending on these portraits?

[@africo9104]

Your Dad is so beautiful.

[@SeekAndYeShallFindGod]

For a moment I thought the first one was Robert DeNiro with long hair.

[@phillipsmith7759]

Great art..but why is your hand taped?

[@kenichiishirahama215]

David = Gandalf

[@VagalovStudio]

Good morning folks, why people sharp like that pencils??? By the way is masterpiece this sketchbook, il have different opinion and use sketchbook for all mediums and themes,❤ respect with regards

[@paulmitchell3267]

The main reasons are you can get your pencil mega sharp using a blade and sandpaper. Secondly it means you do not need to sharpen as often compared to a regular sharpener. You can use the pencil more like a brush too.

[@Jim-hv6ql]

I used to love drawing people on the train until one day a passenger not the person I was drawing said that it was wrong for me to do that without their permission.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Eh, whatever! Carry on I say! Great way to develop your techniques... I haven't done that yet. I must try it.

[@jamesgill2875]

Same with photographing people. As long as it’s in a public space, it’s ok. I do it often in coffee shops. However, If the subject objects, then I stop, out of courtesy.

[@Jim-hv6ql]

@@jamesgill2875 Thank you for your support. The thing I liked about drawing people in public is that you never know when they would change positions. This helped me get the essentials without over thinking it.

[@thedraft115]

I dont like photographers for that exact reason if im the only subject in their photo and they are a stranger it creeps me out,some people just are uncomfortabe being part of a personal drawing for someone they have no connection too it seems weird, I would be questioning what its for just incase.😬 To improve more accurately and check for improvements my advice would be to draw people you know so then you can compare older drawing to recent and always have the same person to see if the resemblance has improved👍 you will learn so much more and atleast it wont be relying on a stranger that may mover as you draw them.
