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!

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.

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.

He changed the title of the video. He explained that he didn't want to brag about his painting, just market it better on youtube as advised to him by the partners program guys (previous page).
It's a much better title imo, Glider :D

Some friends of mine showed me one of your videos the other day. I was proud to say I knew about you before you were big like a hipster(because you posted on TL)! If part of your mission was to convey the mood, it was really well done in this one.

It is back!

ye, youtube has this built in tool to make certain changes like brightness/contrast/stability etc..apparently you can only do it while views are less than 10,000, then it locks the video. So I was playing around with it, testing out different settings when the video so happen to cross 10,000 views, left it at an overly bright setting that I can't revert back lol. oh well, it's back.

How long does it take to draw a picture such as this one? I imagine quite a few hours spread over several days but I'm not sure of the exact numbers.
