I have a confession... I had no clue who Emilie Autumn was when my FB peeps voted for her......Once there is a little person in your life calling you DAD, you cease to be COOL anymore! So I googled her and she's a fascinating gal. I have only heard a few of her songs but she seems to be "Tori Amos with a Violin". Thats a big compliment.....Tori was huge to my generation! I am using 3 photo references for this mixed media artwork.And I am drawing EACH on a SEPARATE piece of paper. (The plot thickens)! OFF TOPIC: I once got in to a FIGHT with a VIOLIN PLAYER.......But I swallowed my pride and walked away......Because VIOLINS SOLVES NOTHING! I have MORE FUN working LOOSELY.....I am NOT trying to make this PHOTO-REALISTIC.....Artists are sketchy people!Now I am drawing the pants.....When this artwork is done....everything will be together. I will explain why I do this later..........Now I am drawing the pants.....When this artwork is done....everything will be together. I will explain why I do this later..........Pro's Tip: BUY GREY PAPER. If you draw on white paper....YOU'RE DRAWING ON A FRIGGING HIGHLIGHT!!!!! Neutral toned paper can allow artists to leave BOTH highlights and shadows. Pro's Tip: BUY GREY PAPER. If you draw on white paper....YOU'RE DRAWING ON A FRIGGING HIGHLIGHT!!!!! Neutral toned paper can allow artists to leave BOTH highlights and shadows.Just kidding! I gave her one leg because I am going to flip it in Photoshop. CONFESSION: I feel a lot of pressure when I draw because I know that everyone wants to learn how to get a realistic likeness. I ENJOY, stuff like (what I am doing in this video) MUCH MORE! I take a sketchbook with me almost everywhere. ......Like I said.....Artists are sketchy people! I use prismacolor colored pencils! They ROCK! Ideally, you DO NOT want to mix them with graphite pencils. They get smudgy (you should erase the graphite first).....but its OK....what I do next will fix things.I use prismacolor colored pencils! They ROCK! FACT: Emilie Autumn's hair is not naturally FLUORESCENT!!!!!! For the Record, the artist who draws the BEST HAIR on YouTube is SophieChan90. She uses markers too. CLICK HERE to visit her channel. But COME BACK!!!!!! Don't get mesmerized by the hair! That is a Decocolor opaque paint marker.

This video is going to give you step by step instruction on how to draw an Occupy Wall Street protestor. All you will need is a pencil, some paper, a global recession and some corporate anger and you'll be able to draw this handsome fellow. Pause the video at the end of each step. Lets begin.

Step 1: Draw a rectangle for a sign.
Step 2: Draw a trapezoid shape above the sign
Step 3: Draw these shapes inside the trapezoid shape.
Step 4: Draw the arch shape for the pants. Be sure to make the pants really tight. Protesting in baggy clothing was so last year.
Step 5: Now I am going to challenge you a little. Draw this crown shape for the beard above the trapezoid shape. Also, be sure to notice the placement for the oval.
Step 6: Draw the upside down rainbow shape for the bottom lip.
Step 7: It was learned in a recent Quinnipiac poll that 94% of Occupy Wall Street protestors wear artsy Buddy Holly glasses. It is our job as artists to observe the world around us so add the nose and the glasses.
Step 8: Having Bieber Hair is the new comb over. Add the shape for the hair.
Step 9: Add the eyes. If you want to make someone look angry, leave some space between the Iris and the upper eye lid.
Step 10: Add these hot dog shapes for the fingers.

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).

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.

What is Glazing? The technical answer is 1.) multiple thin layers of transparent oil paint (applied at the end of a painting)....but what I want YOU to remember is 2.) Glazing is pure magic 3.) Knowing how to glaze will take your painting abilities to the next level.

1.) Why glazing is an important painting strategy
2.) (We will touch a little bit on) The science of refracted light
3.) Which paints to use. (How can you tell if a paint is a glazing color?)
4.) Which brushes to use for glazing
5.) How to do it! (The technique of glazing oil paint)

Glaze layers happen at the final stages of a painting, so lets take you to the end of the painting that you just saw right now. I am going to keep things concise and to the point. Give me your full attention for the next few minutes and you will acquire a solid understanding of glazing.

1- Why is glazing an important painting strategy?

Think about the last time that you had a sunburn. When sunburns heal, a layer of skin usually peels off your body. Take a second to remember what that skin looks like. The peel of skin is very thin, smooth and it is possible to see light through it.

Our outermost layers of skin, the epidermis, is comprised of multiple layers of skin similar to the peeled layer of skin that you just imagined. Glazing, the application of multiple, thin, transparent to translucent layers, is like the epidermis of a painting and it is important for an artist to know how to glaze so that he or she can get a more life like effect to their work.

2- The Science of Refracted Light
Light refracts through the transparent and translucent layers of a painting. In other words, it penetrates these layers and picks up any color that these layers contain. A good analogy for this concept is a seashell on the beach. Think of how the color of a seashell seems to change when it is covered with ocean water. The shell seems to change color, but in actuality, all physical characteristics of the shell remain the same. The sunlight refracting through the water alters the shells appearance just as glaze layers affect the final appearance of a painting.

3- Which paints to use
Paint colors have different characteristics. For instance, red, is not just red when it comes to painting. Cadmium red, the color on the left, is extremely opaque and has a great covering power. The color on the right, alizarin crimson is extremely transparent with a lesser covering power. Notice how you can see the blue line through the alizarin crimson, but not the cadmium red.

Most paint companies label the outside of their paint tubes to communicate these differences. Usually a box or circle is used to say if a paint is transparent, translucent or opaque. A filled box or circle is a symbol stating that a color is opaque while the opposite is true if a paint is transparent.

When you glaze, you would add painting medium such as liquin to the paint. It is easy to glaze with transparent colors such as alizarin crimson but it is also possible to glaze with the cadmium red. In order to glaze with an opaque color, use a little bit of paint and a lot of painting medium. I would advise any beginner or novice painter to stick with transparent and translucent paints.

4.) Which brushes to use

When you glaze, have multiple soft tipped brushes within reach. A variety of sizes and shapes including round tip and fan brushes are ideal. Now we are ready for the demonstration


I did the glazing in three sittings over 21 days. It is important to let the paint thoroughly dry between glazes. If it doesnt, you will start picing up some of the previous layer. Notice that I am starting off by using two brushes. One to apply paint and the other to move the paint around. This is called dry brush technique and it is your most important glazing strategy. Dry brush gives you a smooth untextured finish......

I wouldnt recommend this for anyone trying glazing for the first time, but I am actually using titanium white when I create a highlight.....that is a white with extreme covering power....equal to what you saw with cadmium red. I use that only in the brighter highlight areas and when I use it, I use a ton of painting medium with it. ........

The shadows get a little tricky, I try to look at my reference photo to match the shape but I am very aware of their edges as well. If there is a soft edge, I soften it with another dry brush....This is VERY IMPORTANT....Do not clean your brush in mineral spirits or turpenoid. Instead, just wipe your brush on a paper towel because those paint thinners will dissolve the entire glaze.....If a brush becomes unworkable, put it aside and use another soft tipped brush.

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.

Do you want to know how Little Old Man got these scars? He kissed a pencil sharpener.......with his tongue. And while that was a big mistake I am going to prevent you from making drawing mistakes on your portrait of Heath Ledger as the Joker. Just follow my step by step instructions, pause the video at the end of each step and don't Christian Bale on me and you will surprise yourself on this drawing.

Do I sound like a man with a plan? Well I have one. Hit the link in the video description to go to my Joker cheat sheet on my website. It has photos and text and it will supplement the instruction that you receive in this video. Go grab your pencils and paper. Lets begin.

Link- http://merrillk.com/index.php?part=fineart&articles_id=6556&collection=114 This is the second in a series of twenty videos, that will show you how to draw the hand in various poses. This video will specifically focus on the peace sign hand gesture. I broke the process down in to simple steps and I went the "extra mile" to make sure that EVERYONE could do it, even if you havent had much experience with art. The link in the videos description will take you to a web page with step by step instructions and a PDF Book that you could download and print for free..... Lets get ready to draw

As a general recommendation, pause the video at the end of each step and look at the reference image often.

Step 1: Draw the two fingertip shapes. Notice that the fingertip on the left is at a different angle than the fingertip on the right.
Step 2: Add the next two shapes. Notice that they are slightly longer than the fingertip shapes.
Step 3: Draw the trapezoid shape in addition to the two shapes that complete the fingers. Notice that the bottoms of the fingers are slightly longer than the mid sections of the fingers.
Step 4: Step four is a tricky step! Be sure to spend some extra observation time. Notice that the thumb overlaps the trapezoid shape. Also notice that the thumb in this position, resembles a flying saucer tilting to the side.....YES...a flying saucer with a thumbnail in it.
Step 5: Draw the traingle shape. Notice that it is directly below the V shape from the two fingers. Also notice the tiny shape that I made tp the right side of the thumb.
Step 6: Draw the tilted U shape, to the left of the triangle. Also, draw in the fingernail.
Step 7: Observe the picture to close the U shape from step 6.
Step 8: Add in the shape that I just added. It will eventually be a part of the pinky finger.
Step 9: Add in the fingertip and fingernail to complete the shape for the pinky finger.
Step 10: Add the triangle shape next to the pinky finger. This will eventually be part of the palm.
Step 11: Add in the shape for the lower palm.
Step 12: Observe the line that was just added. It is similar to the bottom of a cup. It starts at the middle of the ring finger and ends at the thumb shape from Step 4.
Step 13: Take some extra time to observe the line that I just added. Then, complete the shape for the bottom of the palm
Step 14: Now, take a second to observe the lines that I ALMOST totally erased.


SHADING

Step 15: Build the tones up slowly. Start cross hatching with an HB (#2) pencil.

Step 16: (NOT SHOWN) I use a blending stump to smudge my hatches. And then I do more hatching atop of the smudges.

Step 17: The darkest parts will be the triangle in the center and the areas on the edges of the right side of the hand (and fingers....see this developed in the next few steps).

Step 18: At this point I am using my darker (in tone) 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B pencils. I also use the eraser (A LOT) to create highlights.

Step 19: I always try to finish a drawing by smoothing it out by using the pencil, the eraser and the blending stub (tortillion).

Step 20: Finished!

"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).

Do you know what there is a pink bunny visible from outer space? Well I did! Let me show you what I mean. After I read about this pink bunny and started navigating Google Earth, I began to wonder.........What else is visible in the Google Earth Art Gallery? In this video you will find some of the coolest artwork, visible from outer space. Some of these artworks have videos made about them already, and I will put the links in the upper right hand corner of the video player. I have barely scratched the surface of what is out there, so if you know of something cool. Put its Geo tag in the comments so others can find it. The geo tags of everything mentioned in this video are in the video description.

This video will teach you how to draw a realistic looking face with a happy (smile) expression. The "calm" eye is almond shaped but when a person is smiling, squeeze the two eyelids together. The "calm" eye is almond shaped but when a person is smiling, squeeze the two eyelids together.Notice that you can see the fold of the upper eyelid a little bit more. The eyebrows and forehead are in a relaxed position. To draw a smiling face successfully, you need to be able to make the cheeks seem more rounded....especially with the shadow below the cheek! Right now, I am adding a construction line for where the shading will go.( I am working from a reference picture, BTW.) To draw a smiling face successfully, you need to be able to make the cheeks seem more rounded....especially with the shadow below the cheek! Right now, I am adding a construction line for where the shading will go.( I am working from a reference picture, BTW.) SLOWLY build up the shading and be very patient! CONFESSION: I used non drawing paper for this drawing! Watch and see what it does when I erase! ARGH!!!! Yes there is a difference!OK couldn't wait! "Drawing paper" is more textured....or as artists say...."has more tooth"....watch the shading VANISH when I erase because the surface is as slippery as ICE! ARGH!!!! The eyebrows are NOT one solid tone. Try to observe the eyebrows of whoever you are drawing before shading them. The only exception is when heavy make up is applied.....Maybe its Maybelline! Shading is ALWAYS dependant upon LIGHT! There are no universal rules to applying tones to drawing.....because lighting conditions vary so much! REMEMBER THAT! In this case, the light came from above. This is most often the case. Notice the shadow that I am adding between the brow and eye. When drawing a smiling face, the area UNDER the eye is very important! The orbicularis oculi muscle (muscle around eye) contracts...The eye is ball shaped.....thus "eyeball"....our shading has to show that it is ROUNDED!The brush is a BIG help. It allows me to shade something delicately....which is needed, when drawing skin.....I use bristle AND soft tipped brushes.... both give slightly different effects. REMEMBER, when a person is smiling, you will (usually) only see their top row of teeth. ALSO, notice the corners of the mouth. Notice that the two sides of the mouth are shaded dark (because the teeth wrap around in a horseshoe shape).REMEMBER, when a person is smiling, you will (usually) only see their top row of teeth. Everyones smile (the shape of their mouth during a smile) is unique! OBSERVE OBSERVE OBSERVE! Draw in the lashes as triangular masses. Notice that the top eyelashes are a LOT longer and fuller than the bottom lashes. This is the case for everybody. Males, in general have shorter lashes than females...Maybe he's born with it...Maybe its TESTOSTERONE! If you are GOOD at line drawings and want to work on shading, make photocopies of your work so that you can make multiple attempts at shading....you will learn FAST! TRUST ME! CLICK HERE to go to my shading tutorial.....It gives you a link to a print out worksheet (so that you could shade along with me.) Remember SHADING is all about RELATIVITY! So compare the tones of different areas of your reference image or sitter. Be sure NOT to make the "smile line" look too much like a "line".....just like the eyebrows, it is NOT a solid shape! Right now I am using a tortillion (blending stump). It moves the graphite from the pencil more quickly and efficiently than the paint brush. Tortillions are also very good at making lines. They are simply stumps of paper shapes like pencils. The edges of the face are TRICKY.......YES, they need to be darker in tone to seem rounded but they cannot appear as a solid line, or else your drawing will not seem believable. NOTICE that I am using the technique of cross hatching (line next to line) to apply the tones....then I am smudging it....followed by another layer of hatching...or I could then create a highlight with the eraser. Be careful with the hairline. It is always a gradual transition of tone....Believe it or not, even if a person is BALD, the top of the head is rounded and requires a gradual gradation of tone! The areas around the eyes seemed dark before.....right?....See what happens when you add darker tones? Shading is ALL ABOUT RELATIVITY! I did the hair with a 9B graphite stick BTW! Try to notice the subtle shading that I am doing to round the forehead.....Remember that I want to make it seem serene, since the facial expression is a smile. I am going to darken the corners to make it seem rounded. QUICK! DONT LOOK AT THE SCREEN! Merrill is using his fingers! Tsk Tsk! I am only using them because of the "skating rink" that I am drawing on (I am using non drawing paper which does not have a textured surface
