@ReallyRedPanda Thank you very much for your kind words, I am glad the demo have severed its purpose. The drawing was done with willow charcoal, and a little bit of 6B charcoal pencil.

Thank you for Posting these videos. I defintly consider you as true Master. I dare use this word "Master" because, for me, you're exploring an area that very few of us have ever tried :" the Risk". Far beyond the highest level of anatomy, you 're showing to everyone that there is another way to draw. From the very begining of your drawing , you put such an amount of Darkness. Who would dare do that drawing a naked model ? for sure...not a lot of drawers... And starting from this Darkness, somehting incredible is emerging out of your paper. I guess such a level recquires a very high level of understanding. In some ways, you're a Magician.

Thank you Jacques, your words have humbled me. The way I draw is based on "Let's have fun with it", with the experiences with anatomy and value control, you can explore any way you wish. :)

it says its' a 60 minute drawing demo but its' less than five minutes in length. These speed drawings are great to wow the masses, but as an art student trying to glean as much as I can from these skillful works, I can only get some much with a video that is literally 60x faster than true life.
@minh-dungtruong49709 жыл бұрын
Trevor Jones I find, on the contrary, that we are shown the essential through a speeded up video. A much lower risk of loosing the viewer in the maze of details.
@2Chonky2Furious9 жыл бұрын
Minh-Dung Truong Depends on what you're here for. If you're here to see a pretty picture, yes, 5 minutes is great. The clarity is quick and gives that wow factor. If you're a student, no, the maze is what I want. The more information that I can use to further myself, the better.
