Today, I decided to incorporate oil pastels in to a mixed media work of art. I also used/combiled oil paint illustration markers and Prismacolor Color Pencils to create the portrait that you see. I describe my process as I narrate: First, I did a pencil sketch which I inked. Second I used illustration markers (Prismacolor and Ad Chartpak) to lay down the first layer of color. Then I added a layer of oil pastels atop the layer of illustration marker. The oil pastels are more mixable than the color pencils and are also more opaque. They mix with liquin (like the color pencils and oil paint). I discovered that the process closely resembles painting (especially) when you mix the pastels on a palette, with liquin and then apply with a paintbrush. I finished my (quasi- Bob Ross demonstration) with a few layers of oil paint, since there is no substitute for oil paints mixability and layering capabilities (as well as the range of opacities). I am happy with the portrait that I made of youtube user armanchik24. I learned a lot while incorporating the oil pastels in to my artwork.

This is a demonstration of how I shaded a drawing of LeBron James. This is part 2- I will hyperlink part 1
Hints- The eyes, and hair (including eyebrows and facial hair) always have the darkest tones. I am using 2 methods- 1.) cross hatching and 2.) blending w/ a blending stump (tortillion). When I combine them, I get the best (tonal) effect.... Here's what I do- I do a layer of cross hatching, and then I push it down with a blending stump. Followed by another layer of hatching atop. This can be repeated many times.

Today, you are going to learn how to draw the human skull in front view. Just follow my step my step instructions and I promise you that you will surprise yourself. But I want to try something new. After you complete your drawing, take a video of it and post it as a video response to this video. I will personally critique the first ten video responses to this video.

Step 1: Draw a half circle shape, with two tiny half circles on each end.
Step 2: Draw the holes for the eyes and the nose. Notice that the top of the eye shape starts at the bottom of the half circle shape from step one. Also, notice that the nose shape is triangular and it starts 1/3 of the way up the eye shape.
Step 3: is a tricky step. Add the line that I just added to complete the shape. Notice the perfect symmetry on each side. Notice that the bottom has a squiggly line.
Step 4: Add the upper teeth. There are 12 upper teeth visible and the largest ones appear to be at the front of the mouth. The mouth curves back in a horseshoe shape and the back teeth are blocked. Be sure to make the teeth smaller as they go further back in the mouth. Also be sure to notice that the teeth in the front are somewhat trapezoidal in shape and widest away from the gum.
Step 5: Add the bottom row of teeth. Notice that they are slightly smaller than the top teeth. Also, notice that the top row partially overlaps the bottom. Finally, be sure to see that their widest point is also away from the gum. Here is a close up.
Step 6: Add the jawline. Be sure to notice the shapes that connect the jaw with the rest of the skull.
Step 7: Add the details on the eye sockets and nose.

This video will show my viewers how I film one of my videos. It will give a mini tour of my studio and will make recommendations on lighting.

Tonight we dine in Hell. If you are up for the challenge, I will teach you how to draw a very angry greek man who likes to kick people in to bottomless pits.
It doesnt matter if you are new to drawing the more you sweat here , the less you'll bleed in battle. Just follow my step by step instructions... and remember...No retreat, no surrender. Our pencils will block out the sun...Then we shall draw in the shade.

Merrill.....um this is Madness


Madness? THIS IS KAZANJIANM!!

Be sure to pause the video at the end of each step.

Step 1: Draw in the Beard Shape. Be sure to notice that it is slightly asymetrical.
Step 2: Draw in the shape for the hair. Notice that the shapes from steps 1 and 2 are equal in height.
Step 3: Draw in the ovals for the eye sockets and the ear shape
Step 4: Add the shape for his clothing. This shape does not have to be perfect but notice that it is slightly wider at the neck.
Step 5: is a difficult step. The sword shape is slightly taller than the head and it points away from the body and towards the left upper corner of the page. The fingers will be heavily shaded later so it is more important that you focus on the shape of the hand. Take extra time on this step.
Step 6: Add some light lines to define the chest and left arm. Do not press hard, just hint at their existence, they will be shaded heavily later. Add an arrow going through Leonidas' chest......
Step 7: Take your time and add the detail to Leonidas' face. Take extra time to observe the placement of the teeth and the eyes. In order to get a likeness this is an important step to conquer. Gerard Butler

Search the internet or your library for information on the proportions of the human face. You will find a ton of information, but each source seems to say something different. This is video 1 in a series of videos which will make you less confused about the proportions of the human face. You will be less confused, because I will give you proof that a lot of the formulas that you learned for portrait drawing were wrong. At the end of this video, I will give you a new formula to help you draw the human face from memory.

In this experiment, I have taken the most common formulas for facial proportion and tested them on a group of people in a similar pose. I used a computer program to help me take accurate measurements. I made sure that my control group was comprised of both males and females and were of many different races.

So lets get started with a very common proportion rule. The question is- Is it one eye length between each eye? The answer, as you can see, is yes. But this was the only rule that I found to be universally correct.

Lets stick with the eyes for question 2. It is often stated that it is five eye lengths across the face. It turns out that for 9 of the 10 people that I tested, that rule is incorrect. I found that if you included the width of the ear on to the face, then that rule would be closer to true, but definitely not universal. Of the control group, only one person, had a fit, so we can conclude that this proportion does exist, but it does not fit the majority of people and thus, shouldn't be part of a drawing formula.

I recently saw on the internet that the outer corners of the nose, should line up with the inner corners of the eye. Only one of 10 people that I tested proved that proportion to be true. There were also two people who came close. Once again, we can conclude that this proportion does exist, but it does not fit the majority of people and thus, shouldn't be part of a drawing formula. Most often, the outer nose lined up where the tear ducts met the white of the eye. For the record, I hope that the lady in the bottom left never catches a cold.

Question four asks: Does the pupil and iris line up with the corners of the mouth when the face is calm? I will warn you that this was the most difficult to answer, because the mouth is the most variable feature of the face. The shape slightly differs from person to person and it moves a lot. I found that only two people had eyes and mouths which lined up, but, everybody except the gentleman on the top left was extremely close. So, despite the results, I would include this measurement for a general face proportion formula, but I would also be sure to observe the person who I am drawing to get my answer. It is also important to note that 8 of the 10 peoples mouths fit between the lines drawn down from the middle of each eye.






Since question five is related to the placement of the ears, I changed a few of the photos in the control group. In order to gauge this, I had to be able to see the ears clearly. Most portrait formulas state that the ears go from the top of the eye to the bottom of the nose. This turned out to be a pretty accurate statement. Question six is directly related to question five and asks whether the nose and the ears are generally the same size. Although there were only two exact measurements, every other person was very close in measurement. So we can conclude that it is Accurate to say that the ear generally goes between the upper eye and the bottom of the nose and is very close in height to the nose.

Now lets test the most common and controversial face proportion question.....Are the eyes at the exact half way point of the head? You will find top results on the search engines stating that this is the case. I once had a teacher who insisted this and took off points on any student who disagreed with him.....If he only did his homework! The eyes are NOT at the center of the head. The actual middle of the head is just below the orbits of each eye. There was only one person whose eyes were measured as the center of their head, and of course it was MacAulay Culkin.

Today I am going to give you step by step instructions on how to draw and shade Tupac Shakur. You should be able to get a strong likeness of Tupac even if you are new to drawing. Just, listen to the instructions and pause the video at the end of each step. I am going to do something slightly different, but very helpful, for the shading portion of the video so be sure to stay tuned after the step by step. Lets get started.
Step 1: Lets start off with a difficult but somewhat unimportant step. Draw in two crescent moon shapes to make the hat. Notice all of the smaller shapes within the hat shape, and their placements. Dont panic if your hat drawing from this step is not perfect, it is not a part of the likeness.
Step 2: Take extra time on this step. The eyes are the key to a likeness. First, notice 2Pac's eyebrows, they are very thick. Then notice their placement compared to the bottom of the hat. After the eyebrows are set, notice that the eyes are one eyelength apart from each other. Observe how closed the eye shape is as well as the placement of the pupil and iris. Finally, notice the upper eyelid fold, which is close to the eye and the lower eyelid fold, which is slightly further away.
Step 3: Add the line for the bottom of the nose and the ears. Be sure to notice the placement of the nose, compared to the eyes, and be sure to see that the ears go from the eyebrows to the bottom of the nose.
Step 4: Out of everything that I just added, the most important feature is the chin line. Take some extra time to observe its placement. As for the sweatshirt......add it but dont sweat it.
Step 5: Add Tupac's mouth and facial hair. Notice that the bottom lip is crescent moon shaped and much thicker than the top lip. Also notice that the corners of the mouth line up with the mid points of the eye. Here is a close up so that you can get the teeth.

This is my first step by step painting video. The subject is James Hetfield from Metallica and were going to do a drybrush portrait. You'll need watercolor paper, black oil paint, mineral spirits, a kneaded eraser and some bristle brushes. The supply list and a cheat sheet to this painting is listed on my website, so be sure to hit the link in the video description. I'm still going to lead you through this process step by step. To begin, you will need a pencil.

Step 1: Draw the shape that you see. It sort of looks like a caption cloud.
Step 2: Add the four shapes that you see for the eyes and eyebrows. Notice how they fit in to the shape from step one.
Step 3: Add the trapezoidal shape. The bottom of this shape will be the mouth line.
Step 4: is not as tricky as it looks. The mouth and the moustache make a mushroom shape and the nose connects the eye shape to the mushroom shape. The space in between the two shapes is for a shadow.
Step 5: Add the shape for the top of the hair. If this was the 1980's you would need bigger paper.
Step 6: No! That's not hard! It all depends on how you look at it......Your welcome.
Step 7: Draw the other hand.
Step 8: Draw the shirt line.
Step 9: Complete the shape of the head and add the C shape for the ear. Use the eye shape as a guide to where she C shape is drawn.
Step 10: Add the highlight shape by the mouth.
Step 11: Is the trickiest shape. Here is a close up to help you. Spend some extra time to observe the placement of each shape and then draw.
Step 12: Is optional. If you wish, add the shading for the hand. Know that the placement of this shading does not have to be perfect.

This video will teach you how to draw a vintage 1980's floating Chuck Norris head.......and whether you admit it or not...... you always wanted to learn how to draw a vintage 1980's floating Chuck Norris head. So pick up a pencil and be very afraid. Listen to every word that I say, because if you mess up, Chuck is going to find you. And its gonna get bloody fast. In fact, Chuck Norris likes his meat so rare he only eats unicorn. But if you listen to me, you wont mess up. And Chuck wont kill you and all will be right in the universe.

Step 1: Make this circle with a trapezoid on top. It will become his facial hair which Chuck first grew at the age of 18.......seconds.
Step 2: Now that is Chuck Norris' nose. Notice that it is about the same height as the circle from step 1. Chuck uses his nose to smell fear in people and objects. In fact, Chuck Norris doesn't flush toilets, he scares the shit out of them.
Step 3: That crescent moon shape is Chuck's beard. Notice that it goes to the top of the nose shape. Be very careful with this step or it might start growing out of your paper. If it does, leave the room immediately and call poison control.
Step 4: Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. Add his eyes if you dare, but dont stare at them too long. Just quickly notice that there is about one eye length between them.
Step 5: Look at that hair. Despite spending decades of time on abdominal training devices, and singlehandedly providing salt to the Pacific Ocean through his sweat glands, Chuck Norris has locks that would make Jon Bon Jovi jealous. Notice the general shape of his hair and draw it. Be sure to spend extra time on the shape of the face rather than the outline of the hair.
Step 6: Add Chuck Norris' mouth to make him resemble a bad assed version of Jesus.
Step 7: Add the shadows on the upper part of the face.

http://merrillk.com/?part=fineart&articles_id=8053&act=artist1&artist=69&collection=114- Today, I am going to give you step by step instruction in order to help you draw a hand holding a pencil. What? Worried that you cant draw? Check the comments posted on my previous videos. Many people who have never drawn before have successfully completed other challenging drawings with the help of my step by step videos and you will have the same success if you follow the steps in this video. I recommend that you download the free PDF print resource by hitting the link in the video description. This resource will give you 12 steps with pictures to help you follow along as I narrate. Be sure to pause the video and observe the reference image at the end of each step. Good Luck.


Step 1: Draw the three shapes that you see. The one on the left will be the tip of
the pencil and the two on the right will be fingertips.
Step 2: Observe, then draw the thumb shape. Notice that it seems slightly thinner at
the fingertip.
Step 3: Draw the K shape above the thumb
Step 4: Use a ruler to draw the top of the pencil. It should measure just less that three thumb
lengths.
Step 5: Observe and draw the line to complete the finger over the K shape
Step 6: Finish the hand shape by drawing in the heel of the palm and the wrist.

Face Proportions For Portrait Drawing- Formula Hey welcome back everybody....Its Merrill, I recommend that you watch part 1 before you see part 2. Just click on the image if you havent seen part 1 yet.
This is a very important video for anyone who wants to learn portraiture. In this video, I will model the formula taught in part 1 to teach you how to draw a face from your memory. In order to make things easy to remember, I will demonstrate my process step by step. People who memorize these steps will be able to draw a human face from memory without a reference image. Lets get started.
Step 1: Draw an oval. Next put a horizontal line through the oval, slightly higher than the half way point. Then add four evenly spaced dots. These four dots will mark the inner and outer corners of each eye. Remember that there is one eye length in between the two eyes. It is imperative that the dots are evenly spaced. You will also need two bigger dots to mark the center of each eye.
Step 2: Now add a rectangular shape. The rectangle should be taller than it is wide. The corners of the rectangle should line up with the two dots that mark the center of each eye.
Step 3: Add the ears and eyebrows. The ears most often line up with the top of the eye and the bottom of the nose.
Step 4: Add the eye shape. Generalized eyes are almond shaped. You will see the bottom of the iris but not the top. Most eyes also have a second line for the eyelid above the eye.
Step 5: Add the nose. Notice that I did not add lines for the bridge of the nose. The only lines that exist on a nose are towards the bottom.
Step 6: Add the lips. Generally, the top lip is M shaped and smaller than the bottom one, which is bowl shaped. When the face is calm, the corners of the mouth usually does not line up with the middle of the eye.
Step 7: Add hair. Be creative.In this experiment, I have taken the most common formulas for facial proportion and tested them on a group of people in a similar pose. I used a computer program to help me take accurate measurements. I made sure that my control group was comprised of both males and females and were of many different races.

A helpful trick with observational drawing is to see what you are drawing, as shapes. The basic shape of the human eye is similar to an almond shape. But this is only one of the several shapes that encompass the eye. Think of these shapes as puzzle pieces as you draw a persons eye in the near future. Remember that these shapes will slightly change based upon a persons facial expression. Today, I will show you step by step how to draw the human eye. Pause the video at any time if you need to. Here we go.

Step 1: Make a rainbow shape with a circle under it. The top of the circle should be partially blocked by the rainbow.
Step 2: Make the bottom lid. Notice that the lower part of the almond shape narrows as it approaches the tear duct on the inner corner of the eye.
Step 3: Make the pupil and leave an empty space in the middle for a reflection. The line above, is the eye lid folded back.
Step 4: Add the shape of the eyebrow.
Step 5: Add a light line below the eye to hint at the eye socket.
Step 6: Shade in the eyebrows. Try to notice that they are not one solid shape.
Step 7: Add the eyelashes. Try to notice that they are much thicker on the top eye lid.
Step 8: Add the final shading. The darkest areas should be directly under the eyebrow and under the eye.

Un truco útil con el dibujo de observación es para ver lo que está dibujando, como las formas. La forma básica del ojo humano es similar a una forma de almendra. Pero esto es sólo una de las varias formas que abarcan los ojos. Estas formas de pensar como piezas como las personas que dibujar un ojo en el futuro próximo. Recuerde que estas formas se modifican levemente las personas sobre la base de una expresión facial. Hoy en día, yo te mostraré paso a paso cómo sacar el ojo humano.

Paso 3: Hacer que el alumno y dejar un espacio vacío en el centro de la reflexión. La línea anterior, se tapa los ojos recogidos. Paso 4: Añadir la forma de la ceja.

"Come as You Are", but bring a pencil......because you are going to learn how to draw Kurt Cobain step by step, "On a Plain" piece of paper. "All Apologies" if this intro gives you an "Aneurysm", I just want to state that if you think that your drawing skills have "Plateaued" you should try my step by step videos to get them "In Bloom". My videos wont "Drain you" and you wont think they're "Dumb"....unless if you're a "Negative Creep"......and I have over 100 on my channel so be sure to "milk it"........... So, unless if you have "Something in the Way", please commit a "Sliver" of time to learning how to draw Kurt Cobain. Please don't forget to Subscribe. Just click on my "Scentless Apprentice" who "Smells Like Teen Spirit"..................SUBSCRIBE........................Sorry, I have "Tourettes".........Err "Nevermind.

Step 1: Draw the arch and the two shapes. Notice that the shape on the left is egg shaped and the shape on the right is shaped like home plate in the game of baseball.
Step 2: Add the hair shape on the left side of the page. Dont stress, this shape doesnt have to be perfect but it should be proportionately larger than the shape from step one.
Step 3: Add the hair shape on the right side. Dont stress out on the hair shape, but take extra time on the shape of the face.
Step 4: Add the nose shape. Draw what you see rather than what you know. The nose looks like this because of a strong shadow shape. Just trust me and draw it.
Step 5: Add the mouth shape. The top lip is like a flattened M and the bottom lip is like a cereal bowl. Be sure to notice its placement compared to the other features of the face.
Step 6: Fill in the eye shapes. Take extra time on this step. The eyes are the key to the likeness.
Step 7: Add the shapes to the hair. These do not have to be placed perfectly since hair is a "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter".
Step 8: Add the shapes for the facial hair.
I am combining two methods called 1.) cross hatching and 2.) smudging.....right now. Pause the video at different points and use the image on the screen as your reference image. It doesnt get very dark under the eyes.......however, above the eyes (between the eye and the eyebrow) it gets very dark. Kurt has dark and full eyebrows. Use a #2 (HB) pencil to start. Dont be scared to press hard in the eye region. The nose is tricky. The darkest part is the nostril (not part of the step by step video). But the entire shape of the bottom of the nose gets pretty dark. After, I fill it in, observe it, then draw it. I am using a #7 Bristle Flat brush for the shading. The top lip is dark and solid in shape. The LEFT side of his face (the side on YOUR right) is lighter in tone than the right side. The bottom left corner of the page will get very dark. I "went right in" with a 6B pencil. REMEMBER, shading is all about RELATIVITY, so compare the tones of the different areas of the image, The shape at the bottom of the face will eventually be blended in with other dark tones. In order to make the hair "pop out" you need to darken the background. (Its all about relativity!!!) The hair is a LOT of Adding....then erasing.....adding...then erasing ....Be sure to make your strokes in the same direction at the hair in this reference image.....Notice that I am using the eraser to "draw". Now the "PORTRAIT" begins....Now it looks like a human being......but I have to "wrestle" with it to make it look like Kurt Cobain. Use a slip sheet (look under my hand) when you get this far. The darkest areas have several layers of hatching. (8B pencil).
