I will discuss the tools that are needed and how to use these drawing tools. I recommend that you use drawing paper rather than printer paper. You will also need:

- A bristle brush
- A blending stump (also called a tortillion) or a Q-Tip
- A kneaded eraser

You will use these tools

Link-http://merrillk.com/index.php?part=fineart&articles_id=6414&act=artist1&artist=69&collection=188 How to draw the Uncle Sam pointing hand pose. This is the first in a series of videos that I will make on drawing the hand. In this video, I am going to teach you how to draw a pointing hand step by step. I have gone out of my way to make this as easy as possible and I made three resources to help you. The first resource is this video, where I will demonstrate the process for you. The second is a link to step by step directions on my website. The third resource is a printable PDF file with big pictures and text. Also, check http:merrillk.com in the coming weeks for printable PDF's for all of my videos. Alright, lets get started!

Be sure to pause the video at the end of each step and look at your reference image as much as possible.

Step 1: Make three ovals that get slightly smaller (from top to bottom).
Step 2: Put in the three connected shapes that I just added. Notice the angle that the top and bottom lines create as they slope inward towards each other.

Step 3: Observe the picture (above) and put in the four lines. Notice the direction of each of their curves.

Step 4: Put in the shape for the pointer finger. The small banana shape that you see to the left is the fingernail. Do not close the top!

Step 5: Close the shape to create the knuckles.

Step 6: Put in the triangle shape above the pointer finger.

Step 7: Close the shape at the top by connecting the top of the banana shape with the top of the triangle. Notice the creases of skin on the foreshortened finger.

Step 8: Put in the shape that sort of looks like a birds head from the side.

Step 9: Make a kite shape below the beak of the bird head shape.

Step 10: Close the shape


Now its time to shade. You will need a q-tip or blending stump for this part.

This video will give you step by step instruction on how to paint a realistic human eye. Just follow my step by step instructions and pause the video at the end of each step and you will surprise yourself with the end result. Lets begin.

Step 1: Draw the almond shape and the U shape to begin your eye. Please note that I am using a regular pencil on canvas paper. Many painters prefer to use a charcoal pencil for when they draw their under drawing, since the charcoal will blend in to the paint.

Step 2: Add the circle for the iris and then the line for the fold of the eyelid.

Step 3: Add the shapes in the corners of the eye.

Step 4: Add the eyelashes. Be sure to notice that the eyelashes on the top are more full and longer.

Step 5: Add the eyebrow. Notice that it slants downwards towards the inner corner of the eye. Be sure to notice its placement in relation to the eye shape.

Now its time to paint. I chose a simple palette with very common colors such as Lamp Black, Titanium White, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow and Green Earth. For the next section, pause the video every 30 seconds and observe the image on the screen. Also be sure to listen to the hints that I give you as I narrate.

Every artist goes through growing pains while learning their craft. I recently got an interesting comment from a subscriber who wrote, " Merrill could you please make another video for practicing the shading. I made my drawings good than i screw them up with shading! please help!

Fut Duppe was famous for ruining his portraits, by shading too much. His name has entered the colloquial and artists often express their displeasure while critiquing a work by saying phrases such as, "Wow! Your drawing is Fut Duppe" meaning that it is flawed in the quality of the shading. Here is an example of a Fut Duppe Drawing. Girls dont have moustaches........Thats Fut Duppe.

Step 5: Take out a ballpoint pen in a color that is not similar to the pencil shading of the Fut Dup Drawing. Go over every correct line. Do not touch the Fut Duppe parts. It is imperative that you do not move the paper while doing this to prevent a second Fut Duppe Drawing. Essentially what we are making is a print.

If you follow my steps correctly the graphite on the back will make a print on the paper below, thanks to the pressure from the ball point pen.

Step 6: After you finish retracing the lines that you want with the ballpoint pen, remove the Fut Duppe Drawing from the paper below. You are now be able to restart your shading and there should be no fear of screwing up again because this process can be repeated as many times as you want.

So there you have it. Now the young artists of the world know that can take chances with their shading without worrying that they are going to BLEEP it up. Happy drawing everybody!

This video will illustrate the differences between male and female faces. In part 1 of this video, I will compare male and female facial features, bone structure and musculature. In the in the second part of this video, I will do a demonstration. During this demonstration, I will review what we learned in the first part and teach you how to draw the nuances of the male and female face for artistic (art) purposes. During my demonstration, I use a pencil an eraser and a blending stick (stub) also known as a tortillion.
Lets look at the differences of the male and female skull first and then we will work our way up to the skin. Male and female children have similar skull shapes. But once children hit puberty, the differences start to appear. Testosterone provokes the growth of certain facial features in males, while female faces remain relatively childlike. The presence of higher levels of testosterone give men a thicker bone structure with more prominent bones. Male faces have a wider, more prominent jaw, chin and cheekbones (also known as the zygomatic arch). The physical size of the male skull is usually larger than the female skull. A very distinct characteristic of a male skull, is a protruding supraorbital ridge also known as a brow line.
Female faces are more rounded and tend to have a narrow jaw line. They have a softness that the male face lacks. It carries more fat than the male face, especially in the cheeks. Female faces tend to have thicker lips and a higher arch on the top lip. Female eyebrows generally sit a little higher than male eyebrows and they usually have a thinner and more arched shape, mainly due to plucking. The female nose tends to be smaller, shorter and have a narrower bridge and nostrils than the male one. Also, female noses often have a straighter or more concave profile. Men tend to have thicker and lower eyebrows than women. The male jaw line is wider than the female chin. It is also more muscular and square in shape. The lips are thicker and more full on a female. Also there is less of a distance between the arch of the top lip and the bottom of the nose.
Before we go on to part 2. I want to make this complex subject as simple as possible so I took notes for you! If you are watching this on youtube hit the link. If not, just go to my website Merrillk.com and type skull in the search box and download this cheat sheet for when you draw.

Try to notice that the shape around an angry eye is much more compressed than a calm eye. When a person is enraged, the muscles around the eye tighten and pull the eyelids inward. This creates deeper shadows and uncovers more of the white of the eye. In the angry eye there is a separation between the top of the iris and the eyelid.

Step 1- Draw a circle with a rainbow shape above it. Remember to leave a space about half of the size of the iris in between the upper lid and upper iris.
Step 2- Draw in the shape of the eyebrow. Make sure that it is angled downwards towards the inner corner of the eye. It should actually connect with the eye lashes on the upper eye lid
Step 3- Draw in the pupil and the lower eyelid. Leave a black space in the pupil for a reflection. The lower eyelid should graze the bottom of the iris.
Step 4- The bottom eyelid is literally wrapped around the eyeball. Make a bowl like shape below the eye and add a squiggly line on the inner corner of the eye to hint at the side of the nose.
Step 5- Shade the pupil and iris and the upper eye lashes. Please note that the upper eyelashes are thicker and fuller than the bottom ones.
Step 6- Shade in the eyebrow. Please notice that it is not evenly shaded throughout.
Step 7- Darken the area around the eye but do not touch the white area. The eyes seem to sink in more when a person is angry, creating deeper shadows. Merrill Kazanjian
Trate de notar que la forma alrededor de un ojo enojado comprimido es mucho más tranquilo que un ojo. Cuando una persona se enfureció, los músculos alrededor de los ojos y apretar los párpados tire hacia adentro. Esto crea las sombras más profundas y descubre más de la sustancia blanca del ojo. En el ojo enojado hay una separación entre la parte superior del iris y el párpado. Paso 1 - Dibuja un círculo con forma de un arco iris por encima de ella. Recuerde que debe dejar un espacio alrededor de la mitad del tamaño del iris en la parte superior entre la tapa y la parte superior del iris. Paso 2 - Dibuje en la forma de la ceja. Asegúrese de que está en ángulo hacia abajo hacia la esquina interior del ojo. Debe conectarse realmente con los ojos las pestañas en la parte superior párpado Paso 3 - Dibujar en el alumno y el párpado inferior. Deje un espacio negro en el alumno para una reflexión. El párpado inferior debe rozar la parte inferior del iris. Paso 4 - La parte inferior del párpado es literalmente envuelto en todo el globo ocular. Hacer un plato debajo de la forma como el ojo torcido y añadir una línea en la esquina interior del ojo a la pista a un lado de la nariz. Paso 5 - La sombra de la pupila y el iris del ojo y la parte superior de las pestañas. Tenga en cuenta que la parte superior de las pestañas son más anchas y más completa que la parte inferior queridos. Paso 6 - Sombra en la ceja. Tenga en cuenta que no es uniforme en toda la sombra. Paso 7 - Oscurecer la zona alrededor del ojo, pero no toque el área blanca. Los ojos parecen hundirse en más de una persona cuando está enojado, la creación de las sombras más profundas. Merrill Kazanjian

Today, I am going to demonstrate a new artistic technique. I am going to merge the best qualities of two artistic mediums; oil painting and color pencil. What you are now watching is a time lapse of me building up layers of illustration marker and color pencil over a pencil drawing. In about a minute, I will slow the video down to show you that color pencils can be blended by using mineral spirits and a paint brush. I am doing this artwork on 110 lb. bond paper and please note that this method will not work as well on simple 20 lb. printer paper. This drawing was done as a tribute to Manhattanville Colleges iconic History Professor- Mr. Lawson Bowling. Professor Bowling is a mentor and friend of mine. He just completed his 25th year of service at Manhattanville College. It is an honor to give him this drawing and possibly turn him in to an internet celebrity.

The best quality of oil painting is that you can 1.) Blend while the paint is wet and 2.) Add multiple layers of new paint after the previous layer dries. The greatest nuance of color pencil drawing is the accuracy that is attained by using the very fine point at the tip of the pencil. I dip the paintbrush in to the mineral spirits and then dab it on a paper towel; then I drag the brush over my drawing. The mineral spirits quickly break down the thick cake of color pencil. The soft tip of the paint brush allows me to move and blend the pigment from the color pencil in a manner that is similar to the process of painting. It takes only a few minutes for the mineral spirits and pencil to dryAfter the mineral spirits dry, you can add more layers of color pencil. I have actually finished an oil painting with color pencil and an oil paint medium called liquin before, but to save time, I built up the flesh tones today with markers and color pencil.

This video shows my process for making an illustration. I use prismacolor illustration markers for the first layer and color pencils (prisma once again) and a wax blending stick for the second layer. I make my illustrations in two steps. Step 1- I observe my reference drawings or photos and try to see what lies beneath. There is no way to blend markers in the same way that one can blend paint (ironically even with a marker blender) so I lie down the base tones with markers (the first layer). Step 2- Is created with color pencils. Color pencils are mixable / blendable and I mix the color pencils directly above my marker drawing. I use the wax stick to finish the surface and tie everything together. - Merrill Kazanjian
0:13 Take a second to observe the colors lying beneath the surface.
1.)Yellow/green/orange at the top
2.) Orange top/middle
3.) Brownish purple in the shadow on the left.
4.) Strong red on the right side. Everywhere else (but the red) is lower in chroma (intensity of color)
0:20- I start my drawing with the yellowed orange marker from prismacolor. I try to match the undertone.
0:38 I use marker color Apple Green at the top of the apple
0:48 I use the color Mahogany Red to add the general shape and color of the shadows
1:02 I use the marker Poppy Red to create the high chroma red on the area next to the highlight.
1:20 Now I use Tuscan Red to adjust the shadow. This color is a bot deeper than Mahogany Red.
1:28 I add the color Lemon Yellow (for the stem)
1:38 I use the Colored Pencil: French Grey 30% to drop the intensity of the color for the highlight. Highlights are NOT intense in color.
1:45 I use the colored pencil Goldenrod to get the yellow values towards the top of the apple.
2:15 I use the colored pencil White to create the bright highlight.
2:25 I use the color pencil Carmine Red to get the beautiful bright "fire engine red" hue on the side of the apple.
2:37 I alternated between the colors Canary Yellow and White to define the top of the apple.
2:54 Tuscan Red is one of the most important colors that you could get in your palette. It is strong (intense), dark in tone and purplish brown in hue. It is great for portraits as well!
3:06 I am using the colored pencil Carmine Red again. I am using it to start my blending so that my drawing does not look segmented.
3:10 I am using the Tuscan Red again and for the same reason as the previous color. I am trying to blend and make smooth color transitions.
3:20 For the first time in this illustration drawing, I am using the color Olive Green to do the shadow of the stem.
3:26 The colored pencil Magenta is a purplish red which makes a great bridge between the Tuscan Red and the Carmine Red.
3:31 Now, I am using the color Black Cherry which is a bit darker than the Tuscan Red. This color will help me define the edges a bit more.
3:42 The Prismacolor Art Stix Colorless Wax Blender is a very handy tool to finish an illustration. All it is, is the wax (the binder) for the colored pencils without the color. It is an incredible tool for colored pencil artists. Notice that I blend in the opposite direction as my cross hatching.
4:13 I use a variety of color pencils such as Black, White, Goldenrod, Carmine Red and Olive Green to finish my drawing.

I hope that this tutorial helped, if it did, please subscribe to my channel for more quality art instruction.
