    I have basic knowledge on arts but not as fine as this... Clearly people dont agree that it is for beginners... Because they dont listen to how it was made.. its the basic process she is telling for every beginner .. she makes a sketch not for beginners but the process she is explaing is the basic and the most importan thing .. so very much thankful for this tutorial.. it really helps❤..for beginners like just listen for the basic tips how to sketch dont look at it and say its not for beginners

    Sometimes YouTube videos teach us more stuff than a real teacher does. Respect from one artist to another!
  • If it was for beginners then I've to take classes about how to become a beginner lol
  • It took me 5 hours and honestly I got a completely different looking face which was exactly what I was going for since I wanted to make a unique/non-existent face. I can’t thank you enough for not only taking the time to make the details so DETAILED but also for showing us how much unexplored talent lies within each and every one of us. Thank you Emily🍅
  • I haven't drawn a sketch in years, and was never anywhere close to this level. This video motivated me to pick up my old hobby again & try to improve. Great work and thank you.

    “You are no a copy machine” Proceeds to make a perfectly accurate drawing of the woman
  • I have learned so much watching your tutorial. When I had trouble figuring out the guidelines, I thought I there was no hope for me, but once I got them onto the paper, it was a game changer. Also, I changed to Mixed Media paper and that made all the difference for my shading. The tissue blends much smoother. Your talent is impressive!

    Emmy's can throw shade on anything. Love her attitude and professionalism. I've used this video 100 times in the last month trying to match her. Thanks for all the help.

    Quarantine got me thinking I can draw like this
  • This made me want to cry .. it reminded me how I love art , I don’t know why I ever stopped. Art is my peace as well as music. Thank You
  • @taimartinez722
    I've been drawing ever since I was a kid nd I v never used guide lines and I really wanted to learn... This is the simplest tutorial i've watched thank youuu❤
  • I am inspired by your talent and will practice drawing elements of the face. Thank you for your tutorials!
  • i genuinely liked everything about arts since i was a smol kid but i really sucked at drawing back then. but here i am now, a fine arts student!! never give up you guys!! seriously!! <33

    From sketching to photoshop. This is talent to another dimension.
  • @naiadolling
    "You are not a copy machine so try to enjoy yourself" Thank you for that. I really needed to hear that. I'm trying to be a more realistic artist in order to upgrade my art skills and sometimes I forget that things don't have to look exactly like the original.

    in summary: - use proportion guidelines (if you don't have an ipad, you can print the photo and draw the guidelines on there) - draw the guidelines very lightly (i personally use hb for guidelines) - if you don't have a blender at home, use can use a paintbrush or tissue - draw with light pressure. if you want to go darker use a darker graphite pencil. if you are confident, you can try harder pressure by try doing that at the end - if you're doing a greyscale pencil sketch, try printing or changing your reference photo to greyscale as well - pay attention to the highlights and shadows (where the light is coming from) - try drawing hair in smaller sections then slowly add on - don't try and draw each individual strand of hair (aside from one or two hairs that may be poking out) and don't be too hard on yourself! good luck all
  • Absolutely amazing! I traveled to France in 2000, saw an artist sketch like you, had my daughter and my picture sketched. I never knew how he did it with just pencils. Now, I've seen the way to go forward with my sketches. Thank you so much for this video.
