thanks for sharing:)
ОтветитьThanks 🙏
ОтветитьHappy I came across this video… i tried using the loomis method but also trying combine what I visually seen! Its gets confusing, for me more frustrating just because I’m so focused trying to make sense of it so I get just putting things together that shouldn’t be, overlooking it! Much needed
ОтветитьIm really surprised, people like you can draw on a 90 degree angle!!! That's so cool!!
Anyways, Nice drawing!
This video helped me to decide to subscribe to your channel. I was already leaning towards that as I like how you explain & demonstrate your thoughts.
ОтветитьThanks Stephen, for such an insightful video 😊
ОтветитьGetting back into drawing after maybe a decade of not doing anything and this video was immensely helpful. Thank you so much!
ОтветитьI am captivated. You address all the uncertainties I have while drawing. Thank you,
ОтветитьAlways brilliant! Thank you Stephen!
ОтветитьThank you so much for this top tier content. Love it
ОтветитьHello . Thank you for your videos they are really helpful. Can you tell me what kind of pencil you are using here?
ОтветитьYour breakdown is excellent, and as a fellow painter, mainly focused on floral subjects, I have intuitively developed similar modes of seeing to simplify my subjects. In addition to the two modes you mentioned, I have also utilised a third mode, not explicitly mentioned, along with the possibility of other elaborations.
1. The first mode involves seeing in terms of value shapes, simplifying the subject into light and shadow shapes with two distinct values.
2. The second mode, referred to as the structural mode, simplifies the subject in terms of form, relying on the ability to envision and depict three-dimensional form on a two-dimensional surface.
3. The third mode encompasses contour lines, particularly evident in subjects with flat lighting or silhouettes.
Many students find it easier to understand and implement the shape mode of seeing, while some struggle with the structural method due to the need for spatial visualisation. The ease of the third mode depends on the lighting situation.
Regarding the Loomis method you mentioned, I personally found it challenging as it relies on representing spherical form, which can be ambiguous when further dividing the structure. I have discovered that a planar approach to structural form, where the sphere becomes a cube or another polyhedron, is easier to work with. Straight lines, as you mentioned, facilitate comparing relationships more effortlessly than curved lines. It's worth noting that you also employ a straight line construction method, which differs from the Loomis approach. The Reilly method, with its increased utilization of curved lines, can be even more tricky for the same reason.
One issue with the shape/value mode arises when the subject is lit in a way that makes it difficult to simplify into distinct light and shadow areas. This is evident in subjects lit from the back or front. In such cases, relying on contour lines, or the silhouette line, becomes crucial. A structural form approach can help alleviate the challenges posed by the shape/value mode to some extent in this situation.
I wholeheartedly agree with your emphasis on the accuracy of the block-in stage. While it is a basic and fundamental step, it sets the foundation for the iterative refinement process.
Excellent.
ОтветитьExtremely useful. I understand the difference sook much better now.
Ответить❤god loves u he is coming soon! spread his word please. remember he died on the cross for you<33
ОтветитьYou make it look easy! My problem is my bad habits and my in ability to see light and dark- I just see a face.
Maybe if I turn it upside down I can fool my brain. Are there any other tricks?
How can i find those type of reference picture ?
ОтветитьYour first best guess is objectively accurate, Stephen. Prefer Loomis over Riley.
ОтветитьPlease of US who advance in draw
Ответитьvery generous ref! Thank you! Great video
ОтветитьHas Stephen Bauman ever met Stefan Baumann?
ОтветитьIf you have a degree in art, I think this would be helpful. Doubt it is helpful for someone more beginner.
ОтветитьHello Stephen, thanks for the lesson!
ОтветитьThanks à lot Stephen, is à great information, help me à lot for my drawing...
ОтветитьReally interesting.. thank you!
ОтветитьThank youuuuuu❤ God bless you always!!!
ОтветитьI think first 5 minutes of portrait is most important. You didn't show any measurements?
ОтветитьWow
ОтветитьThank you, that was helpful!:)
ОтветитьI have been looking for that russian book! Where did you get it????
ОтветитьI need to force my self to avoid curvy lines like this I will see my reference geometrically , great video as always thank you
ОтветитьHelpful!!!! GOLD!,
ОтветитьIt really would be a joy to be this talented. I guess it’s best to leave art to the artists.
ОтветитьThank you so much!
Ответитьthanks Stephen! really appreciate the explanation and the example. it's hard to understand how things are in 3D in my head, i kept practicing but do sometimes wonder, will it ever click to me, and when? i've been drawing as a hobby for 10 years. how i see shade and the physical aspect of hand-eye coordination is pretty good by now, but i truly can't wrap my head around the form in 3D space at all. any tips or mindset for practice or study? should i just accept this shortcomings and fake it forever? 😅
ОтветитьThank you so much 😊 been wanting to know this ❤
ОтветитьThanks so much for this! I learned things!
ОтветитьTHank you man ! I like first method more expresive
ОтветитьSuperb demo. You remind me of my wonderful drawing instructor Abbey Sangiamo who taught for a number of years at the Maryland Institute College of Art. He referred to the "meat and potatoes" kind of drawing. Hated flat modelling Our assignments were always to seek out the "structural" aspects of form and NOT to copy value but to understand how to use value to organize the marks on the paper into a three dimensional re-creation of the optical image. Once you understand this mindset it changes how you work completely. I think the structural approach is so evident in drawings of the Renaissance especially Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Raphael. I think the Loomis model is very helpful in understanding the construction of the head. Your explanation is right on the mark (pun intended) Your understanding of form and sensitivity to technique work so well together. I am an old dog and can't learn too many more new tricks but really appreciate seeing quality instruction in the midst of so much fluff on line. thank you and good luck with your Patreon lessons.
Ответитьwha- where the hell have I been?!?!?! I wish I see your vids earlier , this helps so much tysmmmm❤️❤️♥️♥️
ОтветитьHey Stephen can you please make a video about the kind of cross-hatching you did within your Halftones of your Eye of David tutorial? They were cut out and I really want to see and learn how to do ornate kind of cross hatching like that. Please!
ОтветитьI absolutely love the way you present these techniques. So clear and concise. Let the practicing begin!
ОтветитьDo you study muscle/bone anatomy? If so, could you make a video about what you know and look for, and how you use your knowledge to make a portrait?
ОтветитьGreat video. I know the second one but the first one was simple technique and looks great.
Ответить¡Gracias!
ОтветитьBeen liking the new style of editing 👍👍
ОтветитьGreat👍👍 ❤❤
ОтветитьExactly hits the spot! I’m so pleased you’ve put these two techniques together, and in such a clear way, so helpful to a beginner. Thank you 🙏
ОтветитьWhat kind of paper do you want us to use? How big is the sheet?
