Features Of The Head, Eye Part 1, Refined Cut
Added 2020-07-01 12:34:37 +0000 UTCThis is the 1st tutorial in a new series that I am starting out called "The Features Of The Head."
This ongoing series goes in depth on the individual features- eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and eventually the planes of the head. It is the beginning of my Patreon content having a structure that will facilitate a student's progress from basics to advanced concepts. Distilling the things that I learned in my 4 years at the Florence Academy and all that I learned teaching there for the last 12 years.
I'm very much looking forward to going on this journey with you all!

Hi Robert, this is from my FAQ's: Q: How do you decide which pencil to use, when and where? A: The various hardnesses of graphite pencils indicate how dark or light a value that pencil will produce. A harder lead (4H) will produce a light value whereas a softer lead (4B) will produce a darker value. Mechanical pencils have different sizes, .3mm - .9mm. When choosing which size to use I take mostly into consideration what size is the shape that I am drawing. Also, I will consider what the grain of the paper is. A smaller diameter of lead will be required to "fill the holes," of a very fine toothed paper.

2021-12-30 12:37:31 +0000 UTCI am new to your Patreon pages but i am enjoying them very much, and beginning to work through the exercises. Iβm wondering about the differences between your wooden and mechanical pencils, your two mechanical erasers, and when and why you would use them?

2021-12-29 17:42:02 +0000 UTCFor sure- these videos take a ton of time to make though. Looking for a way to streamline the production.

2021-05-10 13:59:25 +0000 UTCTough to do that in the comments here, but itβs always helpful to start with a sphere as you see it in the visible part of the eyeball.

2021-02-16 06:47:21 +0000 UTCHi Stephen, Can you suggest on how to draw the right eye of image 'P1011999.jpg, ? the perspective and the angle are quite difficult. Thank you.

2021-01-06 08:04:51 +0000 UTCStephen, I have a question, actually a difficulty which is to draw the eyes to look at the right way. Do you have tips for drawing the cornea part of the eyes ? And how much of the cornea should be shown when drawing the eyes ? Thanks. And I am really looking forward to other facial features, i just can't wait for them !

2020-10-04 18:12:02 +0000 UTCThats in the works. These videos are really labour intensive so they are kind of spread out time wise.

2020-07-20 04:00:02 +0000 UTCThis series and the Brague one are fascinating. Now i just need to keep up the pace. Thanks Stephen.

2020-07-18 12:15:07 +0000 UTCI totally get what you mean- Iβm looking into it but there are some format issues that make it difficult for the moment. Iβm definitely working on it!

2020-07-15 11:40:14 +0000 UTCHi stephen, thanks for your videos, but with subtitles non-English speakers can better follow the expression of ideas,concepts and philosophy something we could do on youtube. Thanks again. and I hope you can accept this suggestion. regards

2020-07-15 11:39:10 +0000 UTCThe planes- your description of how the eye structure sits in the skull- so helpful! I never "got" that before. Thanks, Stephen!

2020-07-04 15:07:29 +0000 UTCI am putting together a video series on them just now- its kind of a survey though, not a full tutorial.

2020-07-03 08:40:41 +0000 UTCHello Stephen, I'm new to your Patreon, and love everything I've seen so far. I started a drawing based on this video, and wanted to know: what pencil are you using at the very beginning? I thought you started with 4H but I couldn't get my marks to look anywhere near as dark as yours until I went all the way to HB. Thank you!
Florence M
2020-07-03 02:33:57 +0000 UTCThis looks so great! Thank you Stephen. I was wondering if maybe you would be interested in providing some portrait bargue drawing tutorials? I keep hearing about them being good exercises for portrait block ins. What do you think?
