This drawing took a fair bit longer than my average videos, i really want to get the mood and candle lighting done decently, spent a lot of time going over it layer by layer, playing around with the tones. At some point I had to spray the portrait with fixative so I can put more layers of color on top. I hope you guys enjoy this video, and please share with friends if you enjoy it.

on a unrelated note the recently theater released film documentary about the-catcher-in-the-rye writer "Salinger" features a whole bunch of my drawings / artworks they commissioned for the film, really cool.

vid's back up, yah.

Amazing, I've seen a few of your other works and they are all super impressive. It's not just that we get to see the beautiful end result but watching the process is magical. Thank you for sharing!
I can take that responsibility.

Insta 5-star like always. I have to wonder if you at some point just quickly swap your painting with a real photo.. Your treatment of light is amazing.

That moment when you witness someone so good at a craft you don't even get mindblown but simply start smiling...
Hope I don't lazy out on the Salinger film though!

well I make sure tone accuracy is decent, which is why it often looks realistic. but detail wise besides the face it really is quiet rough, I feel there is no point in making everything too smooth and detailed as long as the mood is conveyed

Fantastic as always glider. Also, the roughness makes it more real. If it were perfectly "perfect" it wouldn't look like a real human.

It's beautiful, but calling your own drawing "gorgeous" in the video title is a bit unbecoming. Let us be the judges of that.

Edit: Haha I must be quite weird since that's really the first thing that jumped to my face, but so few people mention it. Still a very nice painting

it has nothing to do with my own judgement of my work. The title is simply youtube marketing 101, videos with positive adjectives in general gets more views. Same-thing with videos with bright, high contrast thumbnails. It's just part of the strategy in the partner playbook, an actual playbook they sent me. When I won the partner contest some youtube marketing specialist looked over my channel and recommended this and other practices. It's mostly to attract new viewers, that's all, since the title and thumb is the only thing the average person go by when decide whether or not to click on a video.

I personally always find way too many thing in my drawing/videos that I don't like, like why didn't I do this part better, or not rushing that part, and it's always afterwards when its too late to change anything, especially with videos, where the best you can do is change the final result.
