Arts
My longest episode till date. A great 30min episode packed with artistic philosophy about the truths every old master knew about in drawing, uncovered by Robert Beverly Hale in his book and lectures. This book was a very important book for me, probably the most liberating book, because now if I learn these truths in the next 5 years, I can do whatever I want, invent my kind of ideal proportions, the ideal female face, clothing etc. knowing that it’s going to be sound draftsmanship. Hale teaches you how to get from the student level to the artist level in a very practical and tangible approach, and of course I discuss several of these points. I want to buy a skull model. I share the best model I could possibly find after about 3 days of full time research. I mention my vision for my new channel @bvgvrv which is about portraits of academic females exclusively, also including modern celebrities represented in that fashion. My first portrait is up and I share my lessons. In the major second half of the episode I talk about how to select muted colors in a life drawing situation and a progressive rendering technique in Procreate that works the way academic artists use charcoal. All my episodes are independent and do not require prior listening to the past episodes. This is an important episode you don’t wanna miss. Let’s get started. ?Link to Matt’s article that features critique of my Bouguereau copy: https://drawing-tutorials-online-blog.com/digital-painting-critique/
