Live Portrait Painting Tutorial!

foreign foreign can you guys hear me now I mean this is on my computer this is the computer audio and I feel like it's not that good and I have a mic I have a mic right here that's really nice that I'm trying to connect and it was working a second ago why is it not working now is the question sounds fine I mean yeah but I feel like this is even spicier let me give it one more shot properties it's like working on all my cameras um yeah okay I get that it sounds fine but let me just try one more so annoying all right well I don't know what's happening so we'll just use the computer that's fine as long as you guys can hear me um yeah right on so hope you guys are gonna be uh painting also you could try to take a screenshot of this portrait uh which we're gonna paint in oils let me bring this over here oh you can kind of see what I'm doing got my easel right here I also have another monitor just to view everything this is really ergon me though like come on [Music] [Music] yeah yeah yeah oh okay okay okay where's my mouse and uh it's just a shame because I set it all up you know lock maybe unlock you know what I want I want to listen to it on my own phone I know I'm being just such a Hardo about it but let's just uh I'm gonna mute oh well I guess I can't oh it sounds fine okay um okay let me post this on Instagram so other people can come to the stream and then we'll start painting how's everyone doing let's get a picture here yeah I'm in this uh this hat because I thought it would be funny and gotta have a hat for painting for my hair at least all right so paste allow paste all right I know I pick my nose more than anyone and that's a fact but I won't do it on stream okay so uh this is gonna be a tutorial I guess um I'm just gonna walk through all the steps this is my um oil painting SketchBook a little Frozen here so now this is lagging come on guys what is this I got a new computer um and yeah it's a Mac and I used to I'm running OBS but everything looks good why don't we go like this oh gosh oh [Music] sorry about this guys just redoing these cameras on big I gotta go smaller um that's life though streaming is not easy but I think we're back and I guess I'll just be moderator monitoring uh oh so this is now working my mic we back I think we're good now okay so now it says my nice mic is working I don't know if the quality is different for you guys okay Pierre Edelman snowy thank you for that so the portrait portrait is actually of my girlfriend I took a bunch of really amazing pictures recently because I'm putting together a few videos of like portrait tutorials really sort of in-depth that I'm really excited about and this is just my um Sketchbook my old painting Sketchbook that I've shown a bunch before where it's just like 11 by 8 inches there's a bunch of pages and I try to keep these portraits which are like sketches around two hours so I'm assuming we're gonna go two over two hours and I'm gonna try to walk everyone through just doing a quick portrait sketch I guess I can try to show this right here um I'm just starting with like a burnt umber color but might add some red just to brighten it up not go too dark um sounds Fuller and better well love that the audio hopefully it won't freeze on me I don't know why but um so I think the first thing I think of um when attacking a portrait is thinking about what I'm painting which is a head which is sort of an oval shape and we want to place the head on our canvas right and where are we gonna place it where is it going to be sort of centered and an easy way to do that besides starting with a paintbrush and doing an outline is actually sort of like massing it in and this is kind of I don't know if you can see that I just sort of put this glaze on um and what I like to do sometimes especially for really quick stuff um sort of take a paper towel and just find this oval shape you know we want to start it up here we want the chin to end maybe around here you know nothing crazy but this just helps sort of find the mass yeah so I'm gonna get a million questions of this guys and I'm going to try to look at the chat as much as I can this paper is just like 300 gram GSM paper multimedia and then I gesso it a few times I have a bunch of videos on it you could go on my channel check out exactly what it all this is how I prepare it but it's just gesso it's just a few layers of gesso anyways let's sort of find this so again I want to say that this is kind of confusing me let's do this yeah that's better yep okay because I'm looking over here I'm looking over here you know what we could do I'll show you what I'm gonna do I don't know why I mixed this setup up but we're gonna go like this foreign like that I know it's nice and big for me um all righty all right so this is a beautiful portrait awesome Shadows we're gonna get into that but Let's uh so that's the top we'll say this is the bottom okay it might have gone too big there because I want room for the ear and this is all very simplified because I'm just uh figuring it out this is nothing set in stone I mean a lot of people get afraid of like using paint to sketch because you know with a pencil you can erase and you can do all these other things but you could do the same with painting it doesn't need to be so serious and so this is all you know I don't think correct at all right now but we're gonna find out and we're just trying to narrow down Big Ideas to smaller ideas and generally rule of thumb not rule of thumb but oh I switched this I didn't even see okay my bad guys hopefully that fixes it I didn't notice that on stream yeah come on baby turn um okay let me uh let me do something like this how about I got an idea oh the struggles of Technology let's go like this whoa oh wait we don't want that oh okay okay apologies okay [Music] nice okay we got 130 people in here what's up everybody if you're just joining we are certainly getting down today um all right so what I was saying general rule thumb with these portraits so she's sort of looking obviously to her right our left into the distance and when placing a head it would make sense to put it directly in the middle but usually you want to lead the head and give the head a little room where they're looking so she's looking to her right our left so we're I did this you know sort of um instinctually leaving room over here um you know just because she's kind of looking that way so you give space to where she's looking obviously in the center you wouldn't know that much of a difference but you could see in a lot of portraits you know um you you give room to that size side this is just a sketch it's not that big of a deal but it looks like we replaced it like that and that's sort of the general idea now um I'm measuring here a little um all right so let's let's break this down we gotta remember to talk you get so focused so eyes generally in a in the middle you know we could say if this ear is correct and eyes are kind of like right here right and that's also sort of like the Midway distance between the length of the face right so we can kind of just assume the eyes are going to be generally in that vicinity we could assume that the eyebrows are somewhere like right here um I want to fix a few of these lines just for my brain all right she's got some hair right there uh let's see she's got a bunch of hair right here and then we can kind of say okay how is our that was the top of the head looking okay slowly breaking this down okay and this is way lower but that could all be changed let's focus on some features oh good um so a good Landmark also is this neck you know we could use Plumb lines that's like basically what I'm doing in my head but also what I measured before and Plumb lines if you don't know is saying you know once you have sort of something down you could sort of refer to other things via the image so you could say the bottom of the ear if I draw a straight line from the bottom of the ear does it match up with the nose not really you could do this to yourself on the screen the nose is a little above that right so we could say that those kind of is right here generally approximating here we could also do we don't have much in yet but you could say like this Center you know of the hair or the hair Parts which I don't know if it's really in the right direction for me but you could say that that straight line down from that sort of hits you know the edge of the nose so we could say that's sort of the most right of our nose okay um again I'm just approximating here you know if you really need to do a race you just erase like that it's a Blick Blick art materials shot a boy um and uh you know these are complex shapes right the nose especially with the Shadow and the highlights these are very three-dimensional complex things we're making placeholders right now um of these shapes to further develop later and we're sort of just looking at placement right now and um I don't think we're super close to the final placement but that's the only job we're really doing right now is trying to find these placeholders see if they're um somewhat right and it may not look like uh this subject at all right now but I don't really think it should um this right eye and again this is a cool portrait because it's super um it's super contrasty like if you squint your eyes which we'll get into for the values her right eye the left eye you could hardly see and there's no point in going in in a two-hour portrait and trying to you know give a little light to eye we're just gonna probably make this whole side really dark um and we're gonna figure it out but that's kind of cool let's see um very loose very loose stay in the stainless not really concerned too much and this is all hair right there and that's sort of all hair okay um Alfonso yeah I mean generally we'll stick to like warm Shadows and cool highlights but I'm not really sure now I don't think this is very right at all [Music] um and I want to sort of do a big check on it and the way you could kind of erase and sort of reshape is getting like a brush like this dipping a little into some mineral odorless mineral spirits I'm using gamsol and you can kind of chisel away like that you see how it kind of just chiseled that away um I know that this is like way too something like that a little more you know a little wider chin that looks a wee bit better um we're just finagling we're finagling really hard okay I also see that I think I need some room I need to widen the face a little and that might mean moving the ear um but this I like to use this angle okay and that in turn would sort of push all this back right and her hair would kind of be more like something like that and again slop Zone it looks like but it's actually coming to a point that is a bit closer to what we want um and just for just for um sake of this stream and tutorial I'm going to start filling in some Shadows um but with colors that I'm not going to use for Shadows so this would be like technically a grisai but I think this will help illuminate and honestly help find um more of the shapes and the proportions um so let's do that so for example hair right this is all dark in here is all dark oh this is Shadow this is Mega simplifying right okay and I'm constantly squinting constantly looking here then we can come back with more solid lines okay so it's just slowly slowly slowly slowly looking more and more solid again still approximating it looks a bit wonky but we're gonna hope to figure that all out yeah this is first sketch a grassai Mr gesso grisai grassai means like a painting of only uh like using white and black and so you could get all the values you want but it's like a it's like a black and white painting or like Bernstein and white or any color in white um so ciao so we're pushing this side of the canvas more than I would wanted but that is okay is okay comes down sort of like that thank you so I was close with the ear to be honest we can hardly see the neck pop out right here but that's where the neck is and the hair just comes over completely and then we got sort of the sideburns and this eye is sort of completely wrong via our new move to all this other stuff thank you okay so there's attributes of her hair that aren't completely right but we could fix that when we start painting and another huge like um editing tool is going to be just laying in the background because that could help us shape sort of this silhouette that we've just worked on okay but before we do that let's let's get a little closer with the features of the face um and For Better or Worse those Shadows are correct but the focal point of this painting you know is the eye right the light is going to hit like this quarter this third of the painting and that's what we're amped about but the I we got we want to nail the eye and eyes are diabolical or for me it's pretty pretty hard um so let's think excuse on August Blick art materials with the awesome little blurbs and tips I love that um I love that I love that okay so I like the placement of this eyebrow okay I do indeed so let's use this as sort of the the marker that might have been too much I'll be careful here um actually I don't need to be careful at all really I just want to not have to repaint this four times because I want to get moving for all of y'all so that is actually the shadow of the eye socket sort of thing um and I could use that to sort of put the eye right there ish right we'll call that the ish that has the eyebrow okay so big big question mark there but before it was way over like here I just before it was way over here I just pushed it back that way a tad and you're going to see how simple and Broad we're going to be with the colors that come into play here um but how quickly you could sort of refine it and so again if you're expecting some like super developed painting that's not what we're doing today we're doing a quick sketch and sort of how to how do we best find likeness and the techniques so okay we kind of have this Shadow I don't want to be beholden to this shadow but we can kind of say that that's the chin right that's the shape of the shadow on the chin and you could look for yourself um what shape that is and that's more or less the shape right the drop shadow under the lip which is this and then sort of that diagonal because the lights coming this way and then sort of wrapping under that chin um and we could kind of do the same for the lip in general the top lip is always in Shadow because it's sort of facing down from the light and then the bottom lip faces towards the light so the bottom lip is usually in light and we can kind of we can kind of accentuate that by saying or just filling in the top lip something like that again not the exact placement approximation of the feature but as a placeholder to move on to sort of the second stage and again with this eye I'm not even going to touch um and also this Shadow comes like all the way like that now I have some pressure here because I got to make my girlfriend look good but um we will figure it out so the one thing I'm worried about is the forehead being a little small right now so let me just think and look and observe right here we got sort of the line of your bone you could separate that by a plane this is a plane change right here and then we could sort of measure it's like how much of this hair you know I'm just constantly observing so I'm observing say like let's say we're taking this for fact as like the outline of the major features what is the distance between the end of this eyebrow and the beginning of this hair right like what is this distance so I'm looking at that does that look too big or too small I'm looking at sort of well I didn't put the nose in yet we should do that um I'm looking at where this end of the mouth lines up with the eyeball right it looks like it's sort of on the inside so the mouth might be too big I might have to push the mouth over this way a little right um because it ends like right there so that might not be correct it might need to end a little earlier again these are all things we can fix very easily but this is what I'm going through all around the painting every single thing I could measure and look at the ear the ear looks too small it also looks just not the right shape so more like that um Alicia bone Apple teeth I like wanna oh thanks Blick gosh Blick just commented with the compliments and the art tips wonderful yeah I agree also not for myself but um in terms of actually learning how to paint watching artists paint is a great way to learn because you watch how they hold their brush how they load their brush um you know all these little nuanced things that adds to your practice you become a mimicker right a copycat not in a bad way you know I'm not stealing this intellectual property because this is just a picture of a person anyone can paint it but it's the process of replicating that image onto you know a canvas or piece of paper you want to absorb people's techniques um and that's how you learn right that was sort of a theory of learning so live painting is awesome I wish more artists do it I'm definitely not the only one who does it and I think I don't do it enough but um yeah that was like whoa I just hit my camera I had one year at the artist students league in New York on 57th Street which is an Atelier which all you do is like paint and draw and uh that like eight nine months I was there I more I learned more in that year than I did like you know three or four years combined albeit I am like more self-taught than not I would say but um it was an insane year of growth because I got to see so many artists work and I was like in terms of experience the least experience so I was literally surrounded by like a dozen um artists who are like so much more experienced than me and I just would Non-Stop watch them paint so that might have been a better a better forehead change I'm squinting I'm looking this still deserves shout out right like this I want to nail down this nose and then we'll start using some color yeah but there are some artists I'm just reading the comments there are some artists who are so good they could do this like first try I'm like pretty inconsistent with painting um and for a lot of like the bigger portraits like that I've been working on especially the tutorial I'm doing I'm coming out with a huge like two hour tutorial on portrait um painting I use grid lines and that helps you navigate even faster with more accuracy if you don't know what a grid is look that up but um so here's something else that I'm looking at I'm looking at the distance between the bottom of the nose and the eye and I'm also looking at the distance between uh the like the top of the lip and the bottom of the nose so if I put the line where my nose was before I think it would be too short a Too Short a distance so I think I just have to move this up like a lot sort of like that and then we have a solid solid amount of room between the lips and the nose there still could be a bit more I mean this could also be the lips um if you catch my drift so again that's the biggest skill is comparing and you're not guessing right we're guesstimating but we're guesstimating with evidence from Plumb lines and constantly comparing from a reference image now I think can even be like that and we got a beautiful nose here that I always love to draw so I want to nail that how oh man I'm sorry 650 all right we gotta get we gotta Bust a Move coming up here and again to help with my foreign thing to use that I like to have handy not for your ears not for your ears but for your paintings right so we can kind of be like erasing right we're um now I'm starting to starting to think that I gotta move the lips down alrighty so let's just call that good for meow and let's start bringing in some more color sadly I don't have a um a camera on my palette but what I'm going to do is just hopefully move this bad boy not unplug anything and then you can kind of see what I'm working with over here um so since we started I've only been working with burnt Umber and a little bit of cadmium red earthy Colors Let's uh we're gonna do the background because that's what I like to do I like to sort of take away the background and really give ourselves a solid silhouette so let's do that and I'm going to use Ivory black and yellow ocher to make sort of like a nice faded green it's a great color so you can see that now the background of this reference photo is like Switching gears with the hat background of the reference image basically looks black but that's a little boring to me I want to bring a little color in again this is a sketch you could do whatever you want I think we're definitely going to go past eight o'clock but that's fine picking a slightly bigger brush here this is a filbert I love filberts some people like Flats I use Flats as well here's another filbert which just means it's curved all of these things in painting are overwhelming when you start out but um it's all sort of just preference you know there's no right or wrong thing it's just the only way you're going to figure out what to use is using it um it's not you know it is wet we got a question does it need to dry a bit before adding color um and no you know aloe Prima portrait painting means wet on wet paint um and that's sort of like the great thing about oil that it stays wet for a while some people think that's really difficult and challenging but that's like one of the best attributes and also there's volume to oil paint so we're not only blending it because it's wet on wet we're sort of molding and sculpting the actual paint on the 2D surface if that makes sense that's a more sort of uh Advanced ideal but um yeah wet on wet is sort of the point especially for these two hour portraits we're not going to let any of this dry I mean when I use the background which was just um odorless mineral spirits and pigment that evaporates and dries quicker but we use more oil in here so it's going to be wet but it's fine it's totally fine so let's look at this eye again I'm kind of line it up right at the end of the nose where'd that brush go I don't know right I want to make sure that this lip comes out more and that this nose sort of ends like there and then this kind of comes like this right um yeah something like that [Music] and sort of the most important in my opinion especially like let's talk about this again before we fill in the background this silhouette right silhouette meaning like just the perimeter shape if you've filled this all black it filled the reference image black what are these lines and this is always what I struggled with in the beginning this side so it's like the eye socket dips in right we pop out with the cheekbone and then we come back down at this angle which is just like this side of the cheek the face and then the jawline comes in for another diagonal all those are so nuanced right those are like four or five different angles but the you know that's where you get the likeness so again I don't know if you've done that experiment in school where you take a silhouette shot and it's just a black shot like filled in but you could recognize people just by their silhouette right so it's important to nail those for likeness obviously the eyes obviously the distance between the nose but like just we're just thinking about a silhouette which is very hard and I still to this day struggle indubitably look it like this this is a silhouette boom I just Emoji did this would be a side profile silhouette Emoji game strong all right um now let's let's start just filling in the background get all of this away so we could work on that silhouette so I'm just talking about it and again if you guys are interested in portrait painting again I'm not some master expert I'd have some experience for sure and I think I also have like a good um vocabulary in perspective to a beginner um and I'm making a portrait painting course not course it's like a two hour video I'll post some of it on my YouTube channel for free but then it's gonna be like a premium video I think it won't be more than thirty dollars but I've been spending quite a while making it and so if you're into that stay tuned stay tuned I'll be posting places but yeah all right so here's where we're gonna cut into the outline to find the silhouette so if you look at where this lip ends right the corner of this lip and this looks a bit wonky so don't worry um the the bend of the jawline is under it right it's like right here and I can kind of draw up with the back of this you can kind of see and it's kind of like that does that make sense I think honestly it could even go more no that's pretty good yeah and this is again not set in stone you can Over Paint if I cut too much into it we can come back with paint it's not oh so permanent so and then this is sort of where the hair is cathiria thoughts on sketching on canvas before painting I do it all the time a lot of times before I do these paintings when I'm not filming or I mean I'm filming but I'm not live streaming I will sketch I will sketch it out with like charcoal uh because charcoal is really forgiving it's really easy to maneuver um and it's just a bit quicker than painting I'd say to find like the outlines and all those other things and um yeah and then you could just paint right over it you could paint over oil paint is so robust you can paint over which mccology paid over charcoal you could pay it over graphite a lot of people like to do under paintings with acrylic paint you could go over acrylic with oil but you can't go over oil with acrylic um acrylic is great because gesso is like an acrylic binder so yeah all right so there's a little angle here that I like that I didn't really capture it's kind of like that and then like that that shows sort of like the end of the cranial Mass it's not that dramatic but there's an angle on here that I like using straight lines is also a great idea because we always try to nail we always try to nail things the perfect curvature and it looks so curved and it's a round face with a round nose but actually you know again being draftsman and drafts women to find those shapes straight angular lines is sometimes uh more accurate and I guess like I don't know what you'd say like accessible and it's easier for your brain to wrap around but then Proco would say you got to get your S curves and your C curves um yeah okay so I like that color I love green green is there's a lot of skin tones and greens um but yeah this portrait is awesome We're Not Gonna We're not gonna mess with like the turtleneck or anything um but yeah so I'm just trying to look right now real quick I got this angle I think that her chin pops out or I mean her I think that I think this comes out a little more because this angle is like this foreign right [Music] and actually yeah I think this chin is way too way too big it's more like that and so you can see I'm just drawing on it because I'm just re re rethinking my brain and then I think the head goes bigger I think the head is like that but maybe not I don't know time will tell foreign [Music] I think the lips go down and also this is sort of like that okay uh moving forward so now I'm going to mix up a few skin tones and I know this is like everyone's favorite part or questions lips are wider yeah I think they are a little wider I think the whole head is a little wider to be honest and I'm going to be pushing this side of the canvas but that's fine so for example yeah okay okay also the bummer thing especially for me like you can and this is like the idea of watching other people paint and so when I was first learning oil painting I would hear people go through all these steps Plumb line okay this knows the distance looks greater than it should be let's make that distance shorter or like the ear intersects the line here and I would be looking at the same thing the person was looking I'd be like wait what I don't see that I see that differently and so especially if you're coming too close to it and that's why people always say take a step back or you know look away for the painting for five minutes which I think we're gonna do just to take a quick break like for five minutes so I can stand up but you get so close to it and you know your your perspective um you know gets skewed and so that's always an issue that I am certainly guilty of okay we're cruising we're cruising we're figuring it out we're figuring it out foreign [Music] I hope you're painting along Anna yes Anna's here Anna's another awesome YouTuber and painter shout out Anna all right enough dilding let's get down to business after doing one more thing thank you I think the nose is a lot bigger maybe not that much but oh and also gets cut off like right here you know um yep just analyzing here let's just start filling in we got ourselves a good rubric there's something not right about it still I don't know why I did that just use this later oops okay so for the sake of time I'm not going to go into mixing colors that much but in general I like to use on my palette like two yellows Two Reds two Blues burnt umber sometimes Ivory black more sometimes sometimes not but um okay so I'm quickly just going to mix some stuff up I'm gonna be mixing like generic light and generic dark colors just to keep it really simple the intricacy of like skin tones there's no one skin tone for darker complexions or lighter complexions um you can go so crazy you could bring in so many different colors and so it's really fun but for today's sake we're going to stick real simple foreign and honestly there's a bunch of cool shadows in here that I'll try to get to I guess I can kind of like put that in cool as in like temperature cool not like too cool for school okay I don't know if you guys can see those two colors light dark we're not really focused on anything else not focused on highlights although I can make like a hair color because we want some hair that's sort of just this some of this and honestly it gets a real red in places okay good tip good tip lick that should be your slogan good tips from Blick Blicks good tips all great all valid yeah we're definitely not worrying about dry times right now because this is so quick but uh different pigments dry faster titanium white tends to dry uh faster you know there's there's totally nuance and properties to pigments and also different brands of paint I'm using several different brands of paint here and uh yeah a good tip for beginners to learn mixing is never use black only mix blacks with a burnt under an ultramarine I have both of those on my palette that creates a black you could also create black other ways um anyways so foreign let's use the shadow shapes to help map that's always a good call so that's what we're going to do so we're going to squint eyes we're going to look right here Also let's sort of find that as the eyebrow and you may say this looks like the other colors but this actually is a real color this is closer to like a shadow shape than before when I was just messing about with some Shadows yep we're gonna fill that all in another huge dark area is obviously right under here casting a shadow on the neck of course again we're not going to really worry much about that turtleneck but we'll just put that in right there okay so to next we will put in some of the hair good tip look yeah that could be a whole like short form content series everyone wants like a jingle everyone wants a slogan Now where's the darkest parts of the hair right this is another tip when we're putting in color when we're starting to think of value so simultaneously trying to map shadows and continue to flourish with our proportions in the correct shapes we want to think about the correct lightness and darkness of the color we're putting down so this is sort of a middle darkish not close to the darkest value the darkest colors we have colors or values we have is the hair right here right just like basically black the hair right here it's basically black inside the eye socket closest to the nose those are like the darkest Parts the cast shadow on the nose which I didn't sort of allude to yet because we just want the shape of it that's more important those are the darkest Parts I'm not gonna be using a black I'm using this actually just straight burnt Umber we'll probably have to get darker yeah I think I will get a little darker honestly I'm going to add some ultramarine to that okay we're going to fill in those other places that we think are also superdock which is up here well first of all there's here yeah I think I need to move the lips down that's what's sort of killing me under the ear here but also all this it's sort of like right here but that's more chocolatey yeah I think good eye that Star Wars girl but I actually think that chin is too big but we'll see yeah I haven't really developed this upper lip um yeah she said make it thinner like this or I guess down would be down in like this yeah totally yeah I'm kind of gonna save that for the last I want to get all these things around filled in and then it's sort of like we do all the dark parts and then we sort of do all the light parts and then we can go in between them all um shoulder is going to be like right there we're not going to put that in though we can kind of just keep filling in we're not going to worry about it too much everybody okay um and also it's cool you can see the volume start to develop right and also let me just show you guys something real quick that you got to understand while streaming this angle camera is angled like this so it's not straight on so let me show you this would be straight on okay so it changes the dimension slightly right from being over here that's just where it needs to be for the camera so keep that in mind zoom in a little okay what are we doing we were on a roll we're on a roll let's keep rolling oh thanks MJ Pete yep YouTube definitely doesn't like the algorithm definitely doesn't like long traditional oil painting videos but I love them so here's a little highlight oh need more here's some highlights in the hair we're just going to suggest them nothing too crazy we can come back and make them way more brighter way more bright brighter right like this we're just suggesting hair stuff same with this over here because it's catching a little light but we're going to maintain some of that stuff okay yeah Samuel Thomas Mr BEAST's quick paste fast buying a million Lamborghinis and giving them to One purses a bit different I'd say than a slow 20 minute oil painting tutorial but I get what you're saying I do think a lot of people still love long form content and like like watching 20 minute YouTube videos I sure do I watch a lot I love woodworking a lot I love like Furniture people building like cabins in the woods and I just like watch them for the whole duration um so chopping this hair off there's too much higher here so we could chop that off that gives the illusion of the bigger forehead which I was looking for before keep going let's keep going all right okay the other side of the hair right so this we could kind of just put that in and you see how like kind of slow I'm going but also methodical I'm saying okay let's do the dark Parts dark dark dark right it's like almost paint by numbers um not really because it's better than that it's different and we're making up the numbers wow we paint but if you lay it out in your brain it helps you um it helps you get there quicker you know and it helps you be more accurate and organize because we're dealing with all these elements value and shape and color and Hue and so for me at least I like to like be very specific about what part I'm working on and once paintings develop more then you sort of are working on four things at once and it's a bit harder but in this beginning um in the beginning you could still I don't even know what I was saying I just heard a noise outside and I completely brain farted so we're gonna move on all right so I really am digging I think we're doing fine I think we're doing fine that kind of wraps around not worry about hair right now thanks George what's up George and this video will be on the YouTube channel so if you can't stay or you're just coming in right now you know the whole thing will be recorded on YouTube channel as the live stream so that's all good all right I'm a bit confused about this part of the ear now let's see the tip of the ear right let's do it with me if you guys are watching the tip of the ear kind of intersects not the very top of the eyes but basically the top of the eyes um I think that that's like needs to be lower this hair definitely covers this more this ear and then it goes down a little we'll call these The Sideburns very slight though right slight slight slight and still like this okay I might have to fix that I want to put the pupil down because I think sometimes putting the pupil in a bucket hat for the win putting the pupil down helps but this is sort of like a shot mediumly in the dark not really foreign we'll go with that um I like that I like that you know we can kind of we can kind of frame the eye a bit better and like subtlety this took me so long to learn almost doing less with the eye is more in these beginning stages okay people might be a little big I might need to move that to the right a little that's fine that's fine um we could also sort of try to put this in don't want to get ahead of myself here um okay I'm just continuing to constantly look yeah so this Shadow needs to come back over here oops I forgot that we got wet paint I guess this was the color huh not the problem that's not the problem okay that was a subtle move there but I like that the cut in what do I want to do what was I doing okay I was drawing sort of um these shadow shapes because he's got a little too big um this is a mall stick by the way I know everyone asks you kind of just lean it against stuff and you can rest your hand here so you're not touching the canvas I think they're very useful I use mine all the time in almost every painting okay so that's where that is that's what that is let's see if I can draw this nose real quick okay then that's like down okay so we're gonna switch to the light Hue now and things are really going to move fast and start happening foreign yeah subtle I mean this is all like arbitrary I'm speaking like very generically in a lot of these ways is my hand not bright enough I think I need to heighten the exposure I think that's a bit more natural looking I look super bright from the webcam anyways um Okay so I'm using a similar brush here it's another filbert that I'm going to delineate sort of like my dark brush and my light brush to not mix paint and get muddy muddy just means all the colors kind of mix and it becomes brownish and you want to maintain the vibrancy and whatever colors that you're looking for you want to maintain that so let's see what so that looks pretty similar to the background but it's definitely different it's way more um skin Tony and again I'm not going into the depths of every uh part of her skin here because we don't have enough time but um we're gonna start filling this in The General mass of the lights and this nose is going to need a bunch of work but for now I'm just going to kind of like put it in and see I think it's cool to see the portrait Built This Way um and the the most magical thing again if you're not into painting that much magical isn't the right word but I love painting because it's like very skillful and it's like an illusion even the most masterful painters a bunch of them on YouTube um like a million people I'll pay Caesar Santos um anyways they their paintings start out like this their paintings start out like a mush and then somehow through a given certain amount of time and some Strokes with paint it turns into insanely accurate stylized beautiful portraiture or Landscapes or whatever you know so it's like pretty amazing the development of paintings I think and that like you know they all sort of start at this point of of whatever just like mushy um those lips go farther don't worry I know that and I don't like to use too much white in the beginning but we can just assume that this entire neck that we could place in really quickly is is a lot brighter than the tone I'm using now so I could just put that in right now and just be like okay this is really white nice pale skin on the neck also here's another thing like let's look at that shape that makes like that was so easy it's just a triangle and obviously there's like a big hair that comes through here that I didn't really place in but if we match the angle right this angle we look at it um we could kind of say that that's pretty accurate as of now we're going to fill in this ear which is quite bright as well we're going to fill this in oops right and squint your eyes like we're just trying to match these shapes forget about all the detail the wrinkles of the ear squint and just look like what are we what are we trying to achieve big picture ideas slowly slowly slowly refined dang I can't believe it's 7 40. I'm moving slow but that's okay I'm not really liking this Sideburn I don't know what's good okay right squint the eyes does it look like Tori a little what's the name of my girlfriend um something that can help me here well we don't have to do that yet this silhouette is not right this comes way under here that actually kind of helps all right so light and dark down we are going to wow Jerry God bless yep love the mall sticks hello from Australia what's up have I ever worked with pastels yeah um not uh not often but I have all right so now we're going to bring some more color so I have this very not super light like if you look at a white color look at how bright that white is compared to this color and that's good another issue that I dealt with when I was starting out to paint especially with oils I would use suits so much white I would use way too much white and generally we want to keep things darker than we think okay when in doubt go darker um because as you paint things get muddied again and it gets darker and if you go too white too light in the beginning you can't go any higher and it sort of ruins the whole value structure there's examples on YouTube of that of me painting and get so chalky you could even see some back here I'm just looking but I've gotten a lot better at using less white all right now what we want to do we want to fill in the eye we want to bring red to the lips and just start shape it out more and more so let's do that we're going to switch to a different brush here want to use a round here's the round I'm going to use right a little different shape honestly let's pause for a second because I just have to go to the bathroom so be back in literally three minutes okay all right thanks Blick shout out Blick that was awesome I had no idea they were gonna come on stream and say what's up what's up from India uh that shows you the Blick is pretty awesome an art store supporting artists all right whoo just replenish there so let's continue onward on this Quest I want to quickly fix this silhouette again because it just keeps bugging me yeah it's getting a lot closer touch is indeed getting closer and honestly this needs to go like way higher let's just curve okay so again simply bring in more color oh thanks yeah I love the museum sketches also they're not as popular but they're like my favorite things to do they take a long time to edit because I'm streaming with like three cameras but it's quite quite fun okay so real quick also we could sort of Rock what has another yeah so I want to put I want to make sure to put this in which is the under eyelid right and also I'm figuring out so much here that I love and hopefully if we do our due diligence you know by this time we can really figure out all of the you get so familiar with looking at everything that we can figure out that this should be there that looks like it should be like that more and this honestly should be like this okay ish okay not a big deal we don't want to get too too in the weeds here but then also this is a big shape and I think this is telling me to push up the eyebrow for sure actually not for sure just like a little I know that may be annoying because it's like I wish you could like have my thoughts internally but these are all just things I'm discovering in the moment these are bad eyebrows man anyways um I could fix that late row I could also just go like this real quick this is my favorite part of the eye to do it's the lid which is super subtle I might have to fix that later because that was pretty bad placement but we're just getting that in slowly slowly refining slowly refining right okay let's Slow Down slow down slow down we're going to do the lips and you would think it was red and it is red but it's like a very subtle red I want to make it look natural or subtle pink rather again we got this like I guess it's just like dark red or purple as a shadow just makes Too Many Colors number one bucket hat wearer he okay let's let's take that I can't pronounce that name but from the lips to the chin is the size of the nose yeah just about yeah mine looks pretty close I think we're getting really close here I mean there's a shadow in the nose that's gonna make it look a little smaller I have yet to get there so let's figure that out together I just kind of went berserk with mixing and I mixed too much and it turned into mud so let's be slow and methodical about it I don't need many colors I just need dark red it's like that whoa and so we can kind of say okay I gotta find this and the lips are so nuanced also like my goodness the creases and all this stuff it's like you can get buried in the weeds here but we're going to say we're going to stop there and just chill with that even though that doesn't look like I did much that's what we're gonna rock I'm not gonna mess with the eye this is going to really help it bring it to life now the eye white of the eyes is obviously not white in this case it's looking more blue than anything but it's far from White looks quite dark actually so now I said I want to change this a little so I think I want to bring this back we've got a whole bunch right here and it all looks pretty darn dark so all right we gotta remember to squint our eyes because I'm not squinting enough and I'm trying to go too detailed here with this eyeball and honestly maybe we could just get away with going like this and she's kind of looking up so we got to make sure to go high enough you know okay that's getting a little better just a slightly and that really wasn't the right move because we want to make her eye great artist once told me if you could paint something you could repaint it so you can you should never be afraid of sort of erasing marks okay and I should have been using I shouldn't be using black ears on is the truth but I'm being lazy this should all be like alizarin crimson but so I could just kind of redo that 'd be like boom boom boom boom okay so that looks a little bit there all right what's going on the chat guys let's keep it friendly I'm going just absolutely caught in this eye so we need to like move to something else soon so okay we're gonna rock with that I know that looks weird but that is sort of where I want to keep it I feel the same way watching other people make me want to paint watching other people paint make me want to paint always or people drawing there's a lot of people in the city who just like draw outside and every time I see him I'm like darn I want to paint and draw also okay we gotta we gotta move on from that um I want to sort of bring back this eyebrow because well okay um I need to clean my palette real quick because all right I just hid Jerry whatever his name was so hopefully it will be removed so yeah there we go so he's he's gone so we could just keep focusing everybody not too wary now she kind of looks like a witch right now um not gonna lie and so that's a lot of that is just the eye but we also have to do some a lot of work left so I'll be on here probably till nine don't stress but hopefully you're you're still entertained and enthused I certainly am now let me just talk about that this is like a subtle part um I'm hardly doing any work on this eye we're just gonna kind of leave it like that maybe I'll bring some more lines we definitely want like a lighter line for the under eyelid which is sort of the generic representation of like an eye there and we can kind of go like this it should be in line something like that right like just catching some light to represent an eye now she also looks like she's sort of frowning or scared we're gonna fix all that don't worry I'm slowly just working but I want to clean the palette real quick so give me a second you could kind of just watch me if you would like um a lot of these colors I can use still foreign so I'm going to try to consolidate so like this Brown we just clean up and put right there this is all just muck that's one of my struggles also I'm not the most efficient um paint mixer excuse me I know how to mix paint pretty well I think I think my color theory is quite well but in terms of efficiency of mixing colors and keeping a clean organized palette that's certainly not my strong suit and I think it's really important uh what's up from Iceland hell yeah um it's important for me especially on these later stages of the painting to sort of clean the palette helps me reset a little also like I said stand up move back and uh re-situate because then your colors become less vibrant and I get too confused trying to remix you know new um new paint swatches of color and whatnot anyways so so so so what are we doing all right we want analyze analyze analyze um no not for months um rude mod dude Hamburg this painting will probably be wet for like two days max because it's pretty warm and drying here I'm using also like the absorbency of the paper and the gesso it's kind of hard to explain but like yes some paintings with lots of oil can stay wet for weeks and weeks months I don't think about months but it certainly depends on the climate and a few other factors starting to think I can move the ear down a little but we're going to work on the nose I also want to sort of brush off these paint brushes that I've been using Okay so we're rock and roll and we're getting close and like again you do 85 90 of the work leading up and then you do a couple marks and the the likeness comes and it brings it all together it's like the best part it's so satisfying and amazing we're not really there yet but we're getting way closer so I want to bring some warmth into this nose generally again another cheat code is that the forehead the forehead and up skin we're talking about just the skin foreign head up is a little more yellow from the eyebrows to the nose is a little more red including the cheek and then the chin is a little more blue so I'm gonna do that real quick now subtly subtly subtly subtly subtly finesse oops a more yellowish forehead and I don't know if you can even tell but that's definitely more yellow same value but just a little more yellow and the highlights haven't even come yet um and this is I'm doing this super quick so this is like crash course now the nose is always more red same with the cheeks we want to stay the same value but go even more than that honestly honestly get some alizarin crimson that might be too much but I like to exaggerate it's fun sometimes it's certainly fun to sort of be like okay this is obviously the nose it's super red and bloody um bloody as in like the blood you could see the blood easier forget about it whoa um also this part of just the face this cheek you know this is pretty red doesn't need to get that crazy okay let's go all the way down sort of here if we want and then the chin kind of can leave that grayish so that brings a little more life into the painting you can even see again this is this too dark okay I like that a little better um obviously there's a lot of red in the ear we're gonna hardly touch the ear guys but um so now I want to move into this nose and I want to add some accents and what I mean by accent is some really dark colors but I want to start doing that now to finally to sort of sort of place these really important features like the nostrils for example or the corner of the lips we need to do all that pretty soon it's not dark enough okay okay then a little Smiles there right we're gonna fix this lip this lip kind of Curves over but that's subtle and that's like a subtle move I'm happy with that softening some of these transitions I don't have any of this color actually on this side which I completely forgot about we got the remark Branch triangle sort of rocking so we got light on this side and it's a bit like that um we're gonna fix that don't worry we just want that color in there and I think this nose needs to be moved up just a smidge foreign really warm but Shadow color under the nose just like all of this right darker than that honestly it's mostly way higher up well not that tight but yeah Lee not done yet but I will be in for a reckoning if I can't make her look pretty but we're not we're not done yet so we got lots of work to do whoa good catch and this honestly is where like it obviously slows down because you're dealing with small chunks of color more slowly um and I know that doesn't look right either but we are getting closer to the idea the painting that took the longest to finish was probably the painting right above me the uh um the archway elf that certainly took me quite a while that happens upper more okay so I'm not really happy with this um and this is like a cool color foreign um yeah I think I'll finish the sleeve eventually I'm not I'm like not in any Rush for all of my tattoos so um I like to get them like on traveling I like to travel and get them uh you know when the opportunity presents [Music] okay lips are totally wrong ly we got this whole smile kind of coming down and then also the foreign just like this orangey color it needs to be darker okay sort of like that we gotta get our lights back because I need to foreign it's coming along slowly but surely here foreign so shaping man whoa what a task but slowly but surely we're gonna arrive D um looking like her more and more okay Brian deuces yeah you're viewing at an angle so it'll be hopefully better than you expect when I turn it um I need to I gotta fix these lips I gotta fix these lips I gotta fix these lips yeah slowly but surely okay working on it working on it we are definitely working on it the chin looks big and I think that has to do with the cut I need to make in the chin again if you're just watching this will be up on the channel so don't fret it will be available to watch infinitely um so let's take a break and reassess what our next steps are because we're getting we're doing a million things at once yeah I'm gonna finish it I mean finish this sketch right this is just a sketch I'm talking a camera a lot and doing the stream so this is taking me longer than usual but also I want to make it good because it's my girlfriend and I want to make it good for you guys but all the highlights coming in I just you can't imagine how much it's gonna change but I will just wait to show rather than say now the nose needs to be shaped the bulbous part I want to use this round so I'm going to start mixing the lighter color um a lighter more vibrant color I think this will do red for the nose okay don't really know if that looks right but it kind of does ish okay and then this actually is like that right that's sort of the nose foreign very simplified nose we're going to keep that for now okay crease check subtle the powerful [Music] um now I have a lot of Gray sort of skin here that is not like this is sort of all subtly skin okay now this is like foreign okay sorry I'm focusing really hard I'll paint along love it okay so I'm going to sort of do the ear as quickly as I can just really quickly placing in these shapes something like that nothing crazy we can bring a little more orangey skin into that um okay um there's so many small little things that should probably look different like this eye we gotta go back to this eye I gotta see more pupil okay like that and then the right side is way brighter receiving all the light all the juicy good light I'll make sure to capture that of course like that and I'm gonna make her eye like extra blue like dramatically blue just because why not thanks everyone's loving the Hat I'm so glad I wore it even though I look like a I don't know like a Disney sailor boy whatever you would want to call me but I love it rocking it okay now obviously have to make that pupil way bigger I'm going to put some black down for this little black goes a long way okay okay okay okay that blue is really dark up there because there's so much like darkness in this yeah like that yeah I like that please and what we need is another eyelid coming down so we're going to try to use just the lizard and crimson even though it's a little transparent bring this down okay not too shabby not too shabby not too shabby I'll give you close-ups at the end also so you can check back we need a little little Spurt of light around those eyelids and then we're just going to do the highlights and it's going to bring it all together it's going to be pretty much done so maybe it doesn't look like that but we're getting there actually it does look like that I mean for me it looks like her a little um it's not perfect by any means especially the rudimentary ear and the lack of uh turtleneck and the hair is all splayed but we're getting there okay that was an important line like that one a lot okay so check check let's just check our bases really quick yeah we're gonna go in straight for highlights now and this is great I do need to cut this chin a little so let's do that and what color is that okay let's use the mall stick don't know why I did it like that but that is the correct shape I really didn't need that line but that accentuates right foreign all right now we're actually doing highlights I'm gonna clean the pallets super quick wow it's been a long day Kelly can you make her eyebrow on your right a bit longer with the tail and up a bit maybe the camera's angle but it's throwing me off yeah this one right here you're saying yeah I can splay that up a little um with these highlights I can definitely fix that now I think we need more forehead over here but that's what we're doing right now we're mixing the highlights and so for a highlight specifically like I want to make sure my palette is clean because I'm mixing the highest value but also the most saturated so you'll see this pink you know it looks like pink but it's a very dull pink compared to what I can mix and I've done that on purpose to save my final highlights um for last and to really pop out and that's where you see paintings look more illuminated and better than like a real life in my opinion sometimes not this because I'm not that masterful but you will see that sort of affect so we're gonna get some fresh yellow ocher we're gonna get some fresh alizarin Crimson Untouched by anything else we're gonna mix that up as the base oh yeah oh yeah now that's quite they call that red there it is Boom okay so look at that look how much brighter and more vibrant that is that's not even close to white I mean it is closer to white but it like it's far from a white value it's sort of just the uh Vibrance of it now I want like a brush like this a tank and we are going to throw this like this pupil bigger yeah yeah it could definitely go bigger um and she's looking up I I'm afraid I'm gonna miss the uh the looking upness she's like looking up and off to the distance above the camera but we will get there so let's what are we doing what are we doing what we're doing we're getting all this is good paint now is that too I could go lighter than that let's start simple this yellower color like I said honestly way brighter than that all right so there's sort of that like core highlight there oh we got some mud in there we don't like that right we got some of this coming down here that's for you Kelly we got this super important cheek highlight right there and I honestly want to redo that because I want that to be more pink and so we could just like we can just wipe that in you know that can sort of remain remnants can remain and I want that a little Pinker yes yes yes because remember it's in that sort of Zone forehead eyebrows to forehead up yellow eyebrows to nose it's sort of like red and then under nose is sort of like cooler whatever color you want to go it's just relative to those first two zones so this is a lot oh oh yeah that's beautiful and honestly we have a lot more light here in general and so we can kind of collapse this entire cheek ish area to that sort of not blend but just overlay and bringing this side pushes that bringing this side lighter pushes the other side back into space it's supposed to be won't that gives a little separation of the jawline that could be too dramatic I might not need that but we're gonna let that rock for now because these lines are very Broad and nice so let's come back to sort of like a Midler more middle like that and this is like where all the yellow the more yellow highlight is and this is I'm gonna really need to like finesse because this whole chunk is just Bright Now that might look too bright and you could be right but not relative to everything else so just wait for it just wait for it foreign we got a whole bunch of the glint of the eyes very bright so we got light there coming right down here really showing up for like a greasy part of the face we want to come back to this Pinker area and kind of put highlight there now we could also bring this big boy highlight this is all bright pretty much and you see the life I mean this might look dramatic to you because I'm doing like very like uh sectioned blocked off highlights but we're gonna sort of blend it and mix it all in it's going to look a little more homogeneous but um man that's fun if you squint your eyes now squint your eyes really hard squint them it looks way more Dynamic right heck yeah it does heck yeah brother all right we could bring this lighter this has some like cooler brighter but not as saturated stuff going on like right here eh I'm not even gonna fudge with that what's up from Brazil um you know this is pretty dramatic and light oh I gotta come way more with uh the eyelid and the nose is generally brighter but I kind of like the nose darker again to bring out that bloody version of not bloody but like hey the nose is red for a reason let's exaggerate it and that's just style and that's just preference sort of situation so we brought that we also can bring this part of the nose a lot brighter hey right um yeah Reviving just take a big highlight right here sort of thing this can get some love so it's all you know coming together and we just took our sweet time figuring out each individual stroke and what I will do which is a cool technique which I'll show you right now also this ear is just looking lackluster in terms of the size I mean we'll have to fix that but um what am I saying well am I saying oh we wanted to bring that forehead a little right didn't I say I want to do that if I look now yeah yeah it's curving more it ends here but it starts higher like that right yeah I think so for sure for sure um actually yeah and that being said I think it can come like this honestly and this sort of is like what's up what's up what's up what's up what's up what's up hair is coming down we got some shadows in those hairs right um this looks a little weird I need to tone that back I want a little uh there you go oh and this is actually this is a bit there's always like sort of like that brow shadow so I can kind of exaggerate that that helps a lot and this goes into this honestly we can just kind of like not blend but bring each other together like that a little and this totally is like looks like Tori right the right eye socket looks Eerie the right eye socket so this whole thing yeah this is not I mean what I think I actually can do let's get a darker brush I think I could bring the eye socket like this boy kind of up more round that out yeah I think that's a lot stronger no we're right eye socket okay yeah definitely I mean that's the point I'm not going in there it's such subtle value differences I gave a little slight hint of her um the white of her eye and the Darkness and I kind of like how it looks I mean it does look eerie but it kind of looks sick and again this is a sketch so we're just suggesting that stuff there we're suggesting the pocket as in no light hits it so we can assume that it's a pocket and we can also assume that there's another eye there because we have the eyelid we have the glint of the uh white of the eye I am going to go back over here in this eye real quick I don't really want to mess much up but there's a few things I want to fix I think we got to bring that highlight on the nose brighter because it's kind of blending in it's almost white so I don't know why I'm messing around with trying to go so pink but let's do that but wow it's nine o'clock on the dot all right we're gonna hard hard cut at 9 30. three and a half hour stream um yeah the painting So my camera that I'm streaming with like you could see my hand it looks sickly almost green right and you can see my skin like here um this camera is like a cinema camera so it's not looking as warm it's it's a bit more reddish pink in real life and you'll see that through like the final pictures I guess but um yeah so what are we doing we're doing and again if you're just new here I'm working on a big sort of uh tutorial for portrait like a two hour video um so if you're into that stay tuned because that's going to be really great I think uh do you believe people enjoy that these are just some crazy highlights a little intense here I want to be subtle subtlety and painting is better but you can't help but just blast some beautiful white here like that or like that and I'm gonna I'm gonna bring those back because that's a lot but we also want some white on the eyelid just dancing a little like that we want the specular highlight on the eye um and again saving these for last is just like dessert I know it sounds weird Oh but before we should make that pupil bigger because I could do that and it might honestly bring the life bring some life into the portrait and I'll do one more actually I'll do a lot more before we end that's the that's the trouble I want to just keep I want to just keep working you can definitely overwork things I'm at the point where I'm about to overwork it so we gotta be okay I like that move I like that move honestly if you want to get physical I can go like this nope I don't like that so we're just gonna stop it we're gonna stop that we're gonna stop doing crazy move stick to the plane stick to the game plan he came to SLU Yes actually one of the best moments of my life not really but kind of Tolkien uses slew slew in The Lord of the Rings trilogy in the book he slew an orc or something and I read that and I was like oh my God that's so awesome so the lips corners of the lips need some work and they're going to help us Define the smile the size of the mouth all these wonderful things so the corner over here which is sort of a diagonal and it's a little darker subtle subtle very subtle that's all I'm messing with and then we got a little uptick uptick uptick that's lower than that so it's like that okay just like that boom see that brings some shape we can finesse the core Shadow some more bring those Shadows a bit darker this is the most wonky part but I think it works like especially if you squint your eyes but it's definitely wonky I'm not gonna lie honestly yeah but I'm not I'm not changing it now to be frank what I could do is just like cut this sausage it's subtle I could honestly I should make the the shadow under the nose is way more dark than that way darker what is grammar so I should probably accentuate that because that will just Define this nose properly yeah I don't know how much that helped but the nose is wonky let's just call it how it is um and we're going to bring now a sort of really fuzzy brush right this is synthetic okay and I'm gonna kind of just wipe through some of these Strokes to bring it together to not seem so patchy just super this is some subtlety and I don't know if you can even see on camera but it's necessary I gotta add more of a highlight there that's for darn sure okay I also have to add a highlight to the mouth okay foreign moving this all around okay don't overwork we don't want to overwork we do not want to give it a week we got 10 minutes left on the clock bring some more Darkness under here this deserves like a bit of pizzazz yes indeedy and then okay and then we're going to what we're gonna do what is going on we're going to go like this full bore that has been killing me the whole time but I've wanted to wait some sort of situation like that honestly no no I have to yeah like that there you are and we could even get more physical with the highlights you know really just uh go buck wild right now see like once you like you set yourself up and then you know what where the other things go and then you're just sort of you're just in the pocket um okay now let's look at this and say what needs to be fixed in these last few seconds not seconds okay yeah that Eerie eye we're gonna leave it okay we're gonna look it at I do want to come back with a brighter highlight because I kind of you know we're gonna use a big brush also because it deserves it yeah pink highlight on the lower lip yes Robin absolutely absolutely that's what we're getting but first I want to do a highlight somewhere else but that is exactly what we need after that I'm gonna call it because well I might add some more light to this ear because his ear looks miniature it looks small um yeah Rusty Johnson great name you have to stick it out with the oil the first year like that's what you're thinking like you got to think about years if you want to oil paint you want to do anything you got to put a lot of time into it my first 10 plus paintings were muddy chalky too much white no color you gotta learn how to maneuver and apply paint and get all that but it takes time you can't give up it's too fun to give up it's too big but we're gonna rock with it now it looks really bright on the screen but it doesn't look that bright here in real life so I'm Gonna Keep it sort of okay done with that highlight we could add some spice it's right here but we gotta stop okay all right and I want to bring actually I want to bring the lips back a little blend that highlight on the temple too hard of a stop at the top of it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah this right here I agree I agree I agree but first okay that kind of looks great and then we just get some of this and we follow this right here boom so I'm gonna take this again right this blendy stick foreign oh the specular highlight on the eye certainly the best for last certainly The Best For Last this is sort of looking also like I need to put this over here yeah that looks better let's see I love your guys's advice advice all right yeah we're gonna I'm not even gonna probably touch the ear because that's just that's just a lot this ear is never going to be good boom just like that now I almost went too bright here like it's almost chalky is the thing because I just went CR I went bananas with the highlights um but it's fine and if you squint your eyes again squint your eyes squint your eyes next to both of them it's not perfect proportions aren't perfect but it certainly is a likeness um likeness means it looks like right I don't know what my girlfriend's gonna say she's probably gonna text me or I'll call her later and say what do you think about being on the internet um oh the ears I was like what am I mixing for okay even that little just helps ears are just so hard in my portrait tutorial video that's coming out which is going to be like an 18 16 by 20 inch painting which is quite big actually we're going to paint a really in-depth ear so that's gonna be pretty crazy and I'm excited I'm quite excited all right now let me give you [Music] the other view let's also clean up oh you know what I want to do there's one more thing y'all this is really wonderful we're gonna clean up this side with some reflection reflected light because there certainly is some and um that wasn't great right there of me so we're gonna use this to finesse foreign this chin can be destroyed a little more like a lot more actually thank you something like that then honestly I need to bring this up and then for what I want to do is I want to bring like this a little lighter green on this side just for fun and this is actually more yellow right see how subtle that is but it's kind of nice it's kind of nice okay something's pissing me off about the chin still okay all right we're ending they are ending very soon geez Louise with that stroke you see that okay done that's it all right let me show you gosh I'm hungry so there's something right when I'm standing back I see totally more issues um like it's something with the hair it's something it's something with this part of the forehead and then it has to come over more it's like almost horizontal I could probably fix that I'm going to let's zoom in for you one more and this color again is wacky so it's not great but here's not great parts of the hair are great but luminance value not too shabby not too shabby all right let's see if we can fix that forehead so this is a good example of sort of stepping back and seeing something and honestly the eye should I could be bigger anyone see that oh anyone see that this I can have a little more light to it white so I might finish that issue all right let's think of what we really want to do here what we want to change with this forehead because this is some surgery that goes down here so I think things like that I should have put pigment on here but and I think it's like it's like this this goes past yep yep and then it goes like this yep yeah that will do it don't gay I mean very subtly I mean this is like a half an inch switch but I think it totally brings the forehead back to looking like it looks to me as if the right eye her right R left is a bit too large too round and too dark yeah Carla Rose so this is like a representation of her eye it's not you know actually her eye let's see I mean I could just play with this people have saying that and like am I tripping what I'm saying it's like obviously suggested it's not developed at all like I feel like that's obvious you know those are some eyelashes yeah the nose is the nose is wonked out so that's all I'm going to do for the eye okay people I know I'm not going to put lashes on this side it's just too much it's too delicate it's just all represented I gotta you guys are giving me anxiety now you guys are the laundry list how many people are in this still 98. he was like this needs this this needs this yeah I know a lot of it needs a lot of that you know what I mean but We're not gonna do almost any more because I've been sitting here for like four hours oops eyelashes on that one right that looks fine the kind of looks cross-eyed not really um okay I just need to fill in yeah no I'm done this is like it we're not We're not gonna work on this anymore alaprima I mean I'm not this is in a Sketchbook right this is just a painting sketch obviously a longer sketch than normal so I'm not really tripping about it but I'm just saying all of you bombarding me what do we want to do again we see a fix that skin tone and then I'll show you the view one more time and then we'll sign off if you're just joining or again people I'm coming out with a portrait tutorial um very soon a bunch of portraits and I think it's going to be only like 30 bucks I'll post some free videos on YouTube but um there's gonna be like a two hour full in-depth mixing paint materials brushes taking these photos I had a huge photo shoot I filmed everything how to how to get good lighting like this lighting is arguably my favorite Rembrandt triangle um really good lighting for portraiture so we'll go into all that in the video and I don't know when it's coming out but probably sometime in April maybe end of April dang I need that to be darker you have to be way to Walker yeah that looks pretty schmexy I'd say there we are oh and then honestly you gotta bring the [Music] please make the dark side cheek highlight shorter it will make the nose look better hmm the dark side cheek highlight Dark Side cheek highlight so what are you talking about um lower portion oh no guys I can't I can't keep listening to you I think you're all crazy in my opinion just kidding but I'm going crazy and I need to hop off drink some water and get some dinner I just want to fill in this real quick um but honestly everyone telling me what they think should be changed is great observation practice so I welcome it and I'm for it painting is a lot is like 20 operational skills as an operating a paintbrush and paint but it's 80 observing and be able to compare and contrast visual visually visual comprehension and that's it so I'm gonna give you the final little shop I think it looks way better with that slight adjustment people of the world foreign I want to give a let's give a nice uh zebra in the chat zebra in the chat everybody clap it up for yourselves for this nice little Marathon and uh yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna text my uh girlfriend right now let's see what she says also can you see this like you see the difference of saturation that's what it kind of looks like I mean this is on my phone I guess but this looks pretty banging to me oh I wanted to make this a little bigger nice let me see all those zebras um okay so I will make this slightly I gotta get I gotta get back to my position or else I'm gonna mess it all up you you saw how much one stroke can change at all right so let's make sure this is this last last last last stroke is not going to mess it up I want a different brush because something like that something a little soft and I'm talking about sort of the shadow in her chin area can I go let's go all the way zoomed in why not now what color could that be something like this yeah but then gotta get it dark again yep like that oh excuse those crazy sound effects by moi all right call it quits all right everybody so stay tuned I don't
