What is youtubes place in art history?
Youtube is the early 21st century version of an art musuem. Its the new Louvre. I think that the most significant art of today is being posted on youtube and ill prove that at the end of this video. So, all great art is a reflection of the era in which it was created...I dont think that todays art will be done justice if it is housed in a museum building like the art of the past. There was a time when painting was the greatest visual technology in the world but it became less relevant with the inventions of photography and video. There was a big debate in contemporary art about whether painting was dead and I credit youtube for bringing painting and other forms of art back to life. The difference is performance. In todays art, the performance is more important than the final product and youtube gives artists an arena to perform and document their work to an audience that views a billion videos a day from around the world. Youtube viewers are the art curators of the 21st century. You do this when you favorite a video or rate it.......or subscribe to a channel. This is a much more democratic method than the past. So much of what we see in museums was decided by a relatively small group of individuals. Also, youtube is becoming a major patron for artists, although I think that this is happening by accident. I have seen a lot of artists become youtube partners........and that gives artists a financial alternative to the gallery system.

I want to end by restating my first point. The most significant art of the 21st century is being posted on youtube right now Click on these links to see what I mean.

Phase 1: I began this oil portrait with a pencil sketch on drawing paper. This is very unorthodox (when compared to painting techniques of the past) because oil portraits are usually done on canvas or wood panel and any sketching is done with vine charcoal. Paint becomes more transparent in time and pencils lines will eventually be seen through a painting as it ages. The vine charcoal will blend with oil paint but pencil will not. I have a very creative fix to this problem (as you will see in the coming steps).
Phase 2: The second step of a traditional painting is usually an underpainting with brown paint (usually burnt sienna). Underpaintings give painters an opportunity to build masses with paint (turn thin lines from drawing instruments in to blocks of tone, with the help of a paint brush). Underpaintings also allow artists to build tones. I use gray illustration markers rather than oil paint, because of the speed in which I can apply it (no mixing / superior drying time) I recommend the Warm and Cool Grays Marker Set listed below if you wish to try my technique.Chartpak Ad Marker Set: Warm and Cool Grays- Set of 25 A single nib with three distinct line weights. These waterproof, permanent, solvent-based markers deliver brilliant, sparkling color in fine point, medium weight, or broad strokes, with just a shift of the wrist. From crisply articulated tight comps to broadly expressive illustrations, one marker gives you all the lines you need. Phase 3: To build skin tones, I used flesh tone Chartpak AD Illustration Markers. These markers can create wonderful works of art when used alone, but I used them as a quick means to color my drawing (soon to be painting). Flesh tone Markers Flesh Tone and Gray Markers Pantone Prismacolor Ad Chartpak. Phase 4: Next, I added a layer of Prismacolor Color Pencils. Prismas are translucent and very mixable. The fine point of the color pencil helped me get great details for the features of the face (fine tipped paint brushes ALWAYS RUN OUT OF PAINT!!!!)Phase 5: Scan. Here is where things get interesting! I scanned my drawing to edit on my computer (clean it up). Below is the updated version of the scanner I used. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of it and I love it!HP Designjet 510 24" Printer Fast printing: up to 3.5 min/page color A1/D size on coated media, 55 sec/page line drawings Prints HP-GL/2 and PLT files with click of a button Ideal for in-house printing of high-quality CAD drawings. Phase 7: Now it is time for some painting!!!! I used the oil paint colors Ultramarine Blue, Venetian Red, Titanium White, Flake White, Transparent Earth Orange, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, Gold Ochre, Olive Green, Raw Siena, Lamp Black, Asphaltum, Caucasian Flesh Tone, and Alizarin Crimson Permanent. I started with the highlight areas I mixed a lot of Flake White in to the areas on the cheek (with the other colors. The ears and the lips recieved a lot of Cad. Red and Alizarin Crimson mixed with olive green and Tit. White and Lamp Black, Phase 7: (continued) The shadow areas were glazed (click on the image below to go to a video on how to glaze) Glazing is adding multiple layers of transparent paint atop opaque paint (see video).Accents on the Figure Set

This set offers painters nine colors based on accents from Gamblin's own Figure palette. The set contains the following materials: 9 oil colors in 37 ml (1.25 oz) tubes, including one each of Ultramarine Blue, Venetian Red, Flake White Replacement, Transparent Earth Orange, Gold Ochre, Olive Green, Asphaltum, Caucasian Flesh Tone, and Alizarin Permanent 2 oz (59 ml) of Galkyd SD 2 oz (59 ml) of Gamsol 2 oz (59 ml) of Neo Megilp Additional free sample oil color A DVD, "Navigating Color Space" Informational sheets and color chartsThis set contains an assortment of brushes and oil paints that are ideal for the beginning portrait artist.

What happens when the faces of three dictators are merged? Megazord and the Power Rangers have nothing on "Hugmadenijong ill". Check out this video to see some tradigital artwork by artist Merrill Kazanjian. It is done in time lapse (2 hours in to 2 minutes). I started out with the computer program Paint Shop Pro 8 (a stone age version of Photoshop) to cut and arrange a photomontage. Next, I printed on thick paper. After that, I tied it together with a layer of color pencil. Finally, I put the finishing touches on with oil paint. The method that I use is called Tradigital Art. It combines traditional media (paint, pencil) with digital media (computer applications and digital photography).
¿Qué sucede cuando los rostros de los tres dictadores se fusionan? Megazord y el Power Rangers no tienen nada de "Hugmadenijong malos". Echa un vistazo a este vídeo para ver algunas obras de arte por el artista tradigital Merrill Kazanjian. Se hace en lapso de tiempo (2 horas a 2 minutos). Yo empecé con el programa Paint Shop Pro 8 (edad de piedra una versión de Photoshop) para cortar y arreglar un fotomontaje. A continuación, impresa en papel grueso. Después de esto, lo ataron junto con una capa de lápiz de color. Por último, quiero poner los toques finales a la pintura de aceite. El método que utilizo se llama Tradigital art. En ella se combinan medios de comunicación tradicionales (pintura, lápiz) con medios digitales (y las aplicaciones de fotografía digital).
Что происходит, когда стоят три диктаторы объединяются? Megazord и власть Рейнджерс ничего о "Hugmadenijong плохо". Проверьте это видео посмотреть tradigital произведения художника Merrill Kazanjian. Он происходит в промежуток времени (2 часа 2 минуты). Я начал с компьютерной программы Paint Shop Pro 8 (камень возрастом версии Photoshop) сократить и организовать фотомонтаж. Далее, я напечатаны на толстой бумаге. После этого, я привязал его вместе с слоем цветной карандаш. Наконец, я поставлю штрихи с масляной краской.

To draw the head from any angle you must first understand its basic structure. Look past all the distracting details and visualize the underlying forms. This ability to simplify can be applied to the features of the face, but when starting the drawing you could look even further. Ignore even the features and simplify to the most basic form of the head. I use a method taught by Andrew Loomis in his book, "Drawing the Head & Hands".
The head deconstructed into its basic forms, is a sphere as the cranium and a block as the jaw and cheek bones.A Sphere as the Cranium
The sides of the head are flat, so we can slice off a piece from both sides of the ball. From profile, this plane will be a perfect circle, but when drawing it from any other angle, it will appear to be an oval because of perspective. Divide this oval into quadrants. The vertical line represents the beginning of the jaw. The horizontal line represents the brow line. The top and bottom of the oval help you find the hair line and the bottom of the nose.A Block as the Jaw and Cheek Bones
Attach the shape of the jaw. The top will start at the brow line and the back will start at the center of the oval. This is a 3-D volume with a front plane, side planes, and bottom plane (bottom plane is seen from some angles).

0:27- Notice that I am using a mechanical pencil. It has thinner graphite and it helps me create subtle tones for the features of the face. 0:27 Bruno Mars has dark brown eyes. BUT, do not be tempted to go too dark right away, try to build slowly.0:30 The pupil of the eye is darker in tone than the iris. Notice that I left a small white space for a reflection in each eye. this is key to creating a realistic looking eye

0:35 If you havent done so already, erase the line from the top of the bowl shape that goes across the bottom of the nose.1:00- Notice that the C shaped shadow going from the eyebrow to the bottom of the nose has a WIDE VARIETY in tones. Press harder and use high number B pencils (4B, 6B, 8B) to create darker tones.1:18 Watch how I use the paper stump to start the shadow to your left. I "cross hatch" some lines, and then I spread the lines (graphite) with the stump. If you do not have a paper stump, use a Q-Tip.1:44- A singnificant marker on Bruno's face is the deep fold between the mouth and nose. To truly get his likeness, you will need to get that.2:03 - "Float like a butterfly and shade like a bee"....In other words, move around. Do not get stuck in one place. Develop your drawing evenly.2:24 The background on the right side of his face (your left) will eventually be as dark as the shirt tone that I just added.2:55- The paper below my hand is called a slip sheet. It allows me to rest my hand on the drawing without smudging it.3:18- Do NOT make the same MISTAKE I made. I RUSHED the background instead of hatching it in SLOWLY.3:50- At this point of the drawing and shading process, your goal should be to eliminate "lines" and notice the nuances of "edges". In other words, some shapes have solid edges, while others have softer edges. There is often a tonal difference as well.

3:50- Watch how I use the blending (paper) stump to soften an edge......Suggestion: Look in the mirror (right now) and notice the tonal and physical (hardness softness) differences of your face.4:27- The highlights and shadows on the right side of his face (your left) are very complex but important. Notice the darkness that goes down his cheek and the four highlights. 5:09 Watch me shade the left side of his face (your right side). It is very tricky. the dark values are very hidden.....but they are still there.5:48- The nose is tricky. The darkest part is the nostril. The entire shape of the bottom of the nose stays pretty light because the light source seems to be shining up from his left.
6:28- The darkest part of the mouth is the two corners.
6:52- My biggest mistake was going TOO FAST with shading the backgound. When you press hard it causes a crease/indentation in the page. When the paper gets damaged, your shading will be uneven. Youll see what I mean. 7:29- Rewind to 7:24 to see how I use the pencil and brush to blend two DIFFERENT TONED shadows together. 8:14- At this point of the drawing, I am going to use the high number B pencils to get the dark values in. I am also going to use the kneaded eraser to create highlights. 9:18- If you have any lines left (such as the one on the hat) get them out of your drawing. Look around at the world. It is expressed in shapes or masses, not lines. The most difficult part of pencil drawing ls realizing that you are working with a fine tip, capable of making only lines.

An instructional video by tradigital artist Merrill Kazanjian

Step 1- Scan the image

Step 2- Open the scanned image in Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop and cut out your favorite part. In this instance I chose the head of the closest character. I liked the face that I drew but I decided to change the hairstyle. I always liked NBA all star Ben Wallace's hair so I will use the digital scissor to cut it out.

Step 3- Print

Step 4- I use illustration markers and color pencils to give my old drawing a new look. For this image, I have combined traditional and digital media over an old pencil sketch. The sketchbook that it was in was taking up space in my studio and I hadn't looked at it for years. I wasnt in the mood to start a new drawing today so I decided to experiment and give new life to an old drawing.

Jackson Pollock said over 50 years ago- New needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements... the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture. I feel that more artists should try tradigital art. (That is, art that uses both traditional and digital media). I have witnessed many artists who are threatened by technology but the truth is that computers have created more possibilities for artists.

Step 5- Finish the figure digitally

Un vídeo por tradigital artista Merrill Kazanjian Paso 1 - Exploración de la imagen Paso 2 - Abra la imagen escaneada en Paint Shop Pro o Photoshop y recortar su parte favorita. En este caso he elegido el jefe de la más cercana carácter. Me gustó la cara que me llamó, pero me decidí a cambiar el peinado. Siempre me gustó la NBA All Star Ben Wallace el pelo así que utilizar la tijera para cortar digitales a cabo. Paso 3 - Imprimir Paso 4 - Yo uso ilustración marcadores y lápices de colores para dar mi viejo dibujo una nueva mirada. Para esta imagen, he combinado los medios de comunicación tradicionales y digitales sobre un viejo lápiz. El cuaderno de bocetos en los que se fue ocupando espacio en mi estudio y yo no había estudiado durante años. I wasnt en el estado de ánimo para comenzar un nuevo dibujo de hoy, así que decidí experimentar y dar nueva vida a un antiguo dibujo. Jackson Pollock dijo hace 50 años-nuevas necesidades necesitan nuevas técnicas. Los artistas modernos y han encontrado nuevas formas y nuevos medios de hacer sus declaraciones ... el pintor moderno no puede expresar esta edad, el avión, la bomba atómica, la radio, en las viejas formas del Renacimiento o de cualquier otra cultura pasada. Creo que más artistas deberían intentar tradigital arte. (Esto es, el arte que utiliza ambos medios de comunicación tradicionales y digitales). He sido testigo de muchos artistas que están amenazados por la tecnología, pero la verdad es que las computadoras han creado más posibilidades para los artistas. Paso 5 - Finalizar la cifra digitalmente

YouTube Visual Arts Category Petition: http://www.change.org/petition....s/create-a-visual-ar

Step by Step Drawing Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlis....t?list=PLD6E34C7CD58

This video will teach you how to draw the greatest Rubiks Cube teacher in the world. Mr. Dan Brown.....Also known as Pogobat,......Before I say another word, I would like to confess that I once peeled the stickers on my rubiks cube and then rearranged them to look like I solved it. I gained nothing out of that experience. But I did carry it around to impress my friends. Today, you are going to watch a tutorial that ...... if I do my job......... portraiture will be as easy as peeling stickers from a rubiks cube.....But you will gain than I did when I cheated on the rubiks cube. You will learn that you can draw anything if you learn how to break images down in to shapes.......And then put those shapes together like a puzzle. Ill show you what I mean. Grab a pencil and paper. Lets begin.

Step 1: Cut a piece of paper in to a perfect square.
Step 2: Make a long oval that is tilted towards your left. Pay extra close attention to how it is situated within the square. Use the borders of the square to help you make this shape.
Step 3: Add the crescent moon shape. Notice that it overlaps the oval shape. Again, use the borders of the square as a guide to help you situate the crescent moon shape.
Step 4: Make the shape for the neck below the oval shape from step two.
Step 5: Wait! Hold up! Don't go Pogobat! Yes, I gave you a lot of new shapes, but these barely matter for the likeness. Put them in as closely as you can but don't stress it.
Step 6: Divide the oval shape in half.
Step 7: Add the shape for the bottom of the nose. Connect it with the line that crosses the middle of the face.
Step 8: Add the anger lines to the nose. This is an awesome picture to learn the facial expression of rage. I guess this time he didnt solve the rubiks cube.
Step 9: Wait! Whats that thing on his nose? Its called rage! The muscles on your face pull the bottom of your nose up and backwards. And this small shape is created. Here is a close up. Add rage now.
Step 10: I just added the eye shapes. Before you draw, notice the X shape that is happening between the eyebrows and the anger lines.
Step 11: Add the angry M shape for the upper lip.
Step 12: Add the angry W shape for the lower lip.
Step 13: Add the shape for the hair.
Step 14: The ears go from the top of the eyes to the bottom of the nose.
Step 15: Add horns that will make the dude from Skyrim jealous.
Step 16: Add the eyebrows.
Step 17: Add the upper eyelid.
Step 18: Complete the upper eyelid by making it a banana shape.
Step 19: The eyes are half circles. Make them narrow half circles.
Step 20: Add the shapes under the eye.
Step 21: Now its time for teeth. Make 6 teeth visible in the upper row and center 2. The gum line is about 3/4 the height of the middle teeth.
Step 22: Add the lower row of teeth. Notice that there is no gum line.

WE NEED A VISUAL ARTS CATEGORY ON YOUTUBE Petition- http://www.change.org/petition....s/create-a-visual-ar

- For the first time in history, artists from around the world are communicating with each other and learning from each other.
- We can not only see each others work but often, we can see how the work was made.
- The master artists of this generation are exhibiting their work on youtube right now.
- This is unprecedented in history.
Artists of the past have their work exhibited in museums and museums have overflowed with generations of masterpieces. Our generation has YouTube. Yes, it is a museum. Think about it. Even major museums are exhibiting on YouTube right now. The current generation of artists has more expressive possibilities of artistic media than generations of the past, and I think that we have carried on arts rich tradition. Here are 20 examples of what I consider to be, Master art work. Click on any of the annotated links and they will open in a new tab.

But does YouTube fully understand the scope of what its created?

That question will be answered in time. But as of right now there is no category specifically for visual artists. The closest three categories are howto and style, education and film and animation. Howto and style is dominated by make up tutorials, workout videos and fashion tips. The Education category does not mention the visual arts and that is especially scary in a time when so many schools have totally eliminated the arts from their curriculums. Film and animation is the closest match but its classification is much more limiting than a Visual Arts category.

It is time to mobilize people. A Visual Arts category would mean a lot more views for all of us. And if you think about it, that is all an artist ever asks. They want a chance to create and to be seen. Just like how a poet uses words, we use imagery to communicate. And many have said that a picture is worth a thousand words. It is my new years resolution to help YouTube realize that it needs a visual arts category. But the good thing about YouTube is that they do listen. Think of how they are always asking for feedback.

So what is the plan, Merrill? I am going to ask you to consider doing two things. One.....Post a V-Log telling YouTube why they need a visual arts category. I don't care if you are Mark Crilley with over 400,000 subscribers or if you joined YouTube yesterday. If you are tired of ranking behind 10 pages of make up tutorials, do a V-Log and either post it to this video or mail it to me. I will put your v-logs in to a playlist which I will attempt to present to YouTube.

Two.....leave a comment in the youtube forum. I recommend going to the forum that I linked to in the video description. My friend Teresa Richardson, who has the fourth largest arts channel on YouTube already started this conversation in this forum. If there is enough comments, an administrator might respond. I encourage you to keep your comments positive and take the perspective that YouTube has given us a great thing, but we want to suggest a way to make it better.

William "Will" Turner, Jr. is a central character in the first three titles of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series produced by Walt Disney Pictures. He is played by Orlando Bloom (and as a child by Dylan Smith in the movie's prologue). Will is a blacksmith's apprentice working in Port Royal. He secretly loves the governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swann (played by Keira Knightley), although he occupies a lower social class than she. Will is an exceptional swordsman, although he lacks actual combat experience. Although mild mannered, Will is brave, as seen when he confronts Captain Jack Sparrow in a sword fight and by his response to Barbossa's attack on Port Royal. He is loyal to those he cares about and would risk everything to protect them, especially Elizabeth. This trait is seen throughout the films as Will's character develops more by his reaction to unforeseen circumstances rather than his personal ambition or deliberate choices. Most likely he would have continued plying his trade, never presuming to rise above his current station, pining for the woman he believes he can never have. At his best, Will is clever, heroic, and courageous and never shirks responsibility or leaves an obligation unfulfilled. He can also be preoccupied and brooding and, early on, demonstrated rather simplistic and naïve views, although his character gradually matures and deepens into a more complex and worldly man as the films progress. Will's final costume in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is reminiscent of Errol Flynn's swashbuckler movie roles. There is also a nod to Douglas Fairbanks when Turner uses his knife to glide down the ship's sail in Dead Man's Chest, just as Fairbanks did in the 1926 film, The Black Pirate.

Will is about 20 years old as the series begins. He has medium length, brown hair, worn loose or tied back in a short ponytail, brown eyes, white skin. In the first movie, he wears a puffy-sleeved white shirt, a simple brown jerkin, brown breeches, thick brown stockings and leather shoes with metal buckles. He also wears a grey, wide-brimmed hat with a white feather through the back of it, a belt buckle around the top of it, and a design bordering the edges. In the second and third movies he wears various outfits including a fashionable suit and tricorne hat for his wedding that is of a typical style for upper-class gentlemen from his era. In the second film, he also wore a leather jacket over a white shirt, breeches, and, as requested by Orlando Bloom, boots. In both sequels, he is also seen wearing a leather cord necklace with what appear to be charms and other trinkets hanging from it. In the third film, he predominantly wears a puffy-sleeved maroon shirt, a black coat, dark breeches, and leather boots. Sometime between Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, Will acquires a tiny gold-hoop earring that he wears throughout the third film. Just after Will becomes immortal, he appears in a green bandana and a bit of blue eye make-up. His hair changes from slightly oily and wavy in the first and second movie to dryer and fuller, possibly the effects of sailing. In one scene in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl when Turner and Jack are fighting in the blacksmith's shop, there is a glimpse of Orlando Bloom's wrist tattoo of the Elvish word for "nine". Bloom and the other actors except John Rhys-Davies who comprised the nine "Fellowship of the Ring" members in The Lord of the Rings trilogy have this same tattoo to commemorate their participation in the films. While some felt his tattoo should have been covered for his "Pirates" role, the producers simply stated, "Will has a 'pretty' tattoo on his wrist."

Ahh Scooby Doo.....I remember vegging out as a kid watching four hippies and one stoned dog solve mysteries. They drove everywhere in the world....Pacific Ocean? no problem! I never questioned how they financed their trips..... because back then, gas was cheap and it wasnt leaking in to the Gulf of Mexico. Since my son was born, I have rediscovered cartoons....But they are different....They ask too many questions....No Dora, I dont want to choose the map from your mutant talking bookbag and then take a multiple choice test.....Thats even trippier than a Scooby Snack! Anyway, this video is going to slove one last mystery.....What would the characters of Scooby Doo look like at the present if they aged like regular people.

Bush.........Some people love him............(Applause) And others hate him......Kunst (Hipster Character)- "George Effing Bush I despise you"..." No child left behind took all of the art teaching jobs away and has adversely affected my hipster lifestyle." And the two sides seem to hate each other..........General Character: "Stealth Bomber, Put that hipster out of his misery". (Stealth Bomber flies over Williamsburg, Brooklyn) Kunst (Hipster)- I cant even afford to be a vegan anymore....(Boom)
George W. Bush: Thank you for the introduction-.....You're welcome George! Strong opinions can inspire powerful works of art, so for the remainder of this video, I am going to help you draw a portrait of the most controversial man in the world. I promise to leave my personal politics aside so that I can help you create a great drawing. It doesn't matter if you have ever studied art before. If you to follow the instructions, and take your time, you'll be amazed at the quality of your work.
Before we start, I recommend that you hit the link in the video description to download a step by step cheat sheet with pictures and text that will accompany the narration of this video.
Also, please subscribe to my channel if you haven't done so already. Just click on the Little Old Man in front of the Stealth Bomber..... Lets Begin.
Step 1.) Observe, then draw the shape that you see. This will be President Bush's forehead. Notice that the eyebrow region is similar to how a child draws a bird.
Step 2.) Observe, then put in the two shapes for Dubya's hair. Take your time and compare the size of each shape.
Step 3.) Its time to put in Dubya's peepers. Instead of just focusing on the eye, I put in the entire eye region.
Step 4.) In step four, I added the bottom of the nose. Take your time to notice the spacing between the eye shapes and the line for the nose.
Step 5.) Add the wrinkle lines to the side of the nose and President Bush's mouth. Notice that the region between the top lip and the bottom of the nose is trapezoidal. Also notice that the former President's top lip is extremely thin and that the bottom lip is only slightly thicker than the center part, where his teeth are.
Step 6.) Add the chin to your drawing. Also, notice the extra shadow line that I added.
Step 7.) Add the neck shape and the two ears. Don't stress too much about the shape of the neck, but know that most caricatures of the former President, portray him with big ears. Democrats and Republicans can both agree that Dubya has some prominent cartilage on the side of his head.
Step 8.) Add the teeth. Be sure to notice the strong shadow on the sides of the mouth but resist the urge to go too dark between each tooth.
Step 9.) Spend some extra time on step 9. Add in President Bush's eyes and eyebrows. His eyes seem smaller than the average person and there is slightly less space between them than most people. Also, be sure to notice that there is only a small amount of space between the eyes and eyebrows. Finally, add more detail than usual to the region under each eye.
The shading part covers proper ways to erase with a kneaded eraser and covers strategies for shading President Bush's face. President Bush was in his early sixties when the reference image was shot. Coincidentally, he has more wrinkles and areas of tone and gradation on his face (when compared to a person who is younger.....or injected with plastic LOL). He still has a lot of hair, but it is thinner and greyer than somebody who is younger. The hairline should be shaded as a gradual transition between the forehead and the hair. Darkest areas of his hair are the part, the upper temple region and the area above the ear. The President's Eyes are lighter in color, but still remain one of the darker tones on the face. His eyebrows are low and there is barely any space between the top of the eyes and the eyebrows. To add the actual tones, I use cross hatching and smudging with a tortillion and paintbrush (use a q-tip if you dont have either). To achieve the darker tones, I use a 4B and a 7B pencil. Most of the shading was done with a #2 (HB) Pencil. Use a slip sheet to prevent the oils from your hand from reaching the surface of the paper. how to drawn a man step by step
