Today, I used a scanner to document the different stages of this drawing. It was made with color pencils and illustration markers. Every few minutes, I took a high resolution scan to show the progress of my work. I started out with a pencil drawing and then used illustration markers to develop the undertones (or as they say in painting- the underpainting. Next, I used color pencils to build transparent to opaque layers atop the layer of illustration markers. Thank you for watching the video.

This video will teach you how to draw a graffiti character step by step. All that you need to do is follow the instructions and after completing eight steps, you should have a pretty good drawing. I recommend that you watch the tutorial at the end to add color. But, you can do this with just a pencil if you prefer. Here is the supply list of recommended supplies. Lets get started.

Step 1: Drawing graffiti characters is easy to learn if you do it step by step. Start out by making this ice cream cone
shape for the spray can.
Step 2: Use the circle at the top of the spray can as a guide to help you draw the fingers.
Step 3: Draw the bomber jacket. Compare its height with the spray can.
Step 4: Add on the sagging pants and the boots.
Step 5: Add the rectangle and the trapezoid for the head. Also, don't forget about the ears.
Step 6: Add and shade the shape for the eyebrows and the upper eye lids.
Step 7: Add the bottom of the eyes. Be sure that there is separation between the upper eyelid and the iris.
Step 8: Add the nose

This video was created for beginners in mind. It will teach you how to draw a dragon step by step. It was made to help young artists break down complex images in to simple shapes.

Artist Merrill Kazanjian breaks down how he makes one of his artworks. Merrill had been a teacher for more than seven years and is sharing his artistic processes with the world thanks to youtube!

The process is:
Step 1: Look for interesting facial features (eyes, noses and mouths; even ears) from different photographs and juxtapose them on a piece of paper.
Step 2: Make an oval for the head and paste down the facial features. The eyes should be in the middle of the oval.
Step 3: Scan what you have so far and reprint it in color on a separate sheet of paper. In other words, scan it and reprint it so that you work on a flat surface.
Step 4: Use Paint Markers and Illustration markers to tie everything together. I used Decocolor and Prismacolor markers for this picture, acrylic paint would work equally well. Whatever you choose, the point of the 4th step is to make everything look smooth.





Merrill Kazanjian artista rompe la forma en que hace una de sus obras de arte. Merrill ha sido un maestro durante más de siete años y está compartiendo sus procesos artísticos con el mundo gracias a youtube!

El proceso es el siguiente:
Paso 1: buscar interesantes rasgos faciales (ojos, nariz y la boca, incluso las orejas) a partir de diferentes fotografías y yuxtaponer en un pedazo de papel.
Paso 2: Realice un óvalo para la cabeza y pegar las características faciales. Los ojos deben estar en el centro del óvalo.
Paso 3: Exploración de lo que hasta ahora y reimpresión en color en una hoja separada de papel. En otras palabras, la exploración y reproducción de forma que usted trabaja en una superficie plana.
Paso 4: Utilizar marcadores de pintura y marcadores Ilustración atar todo junto. Solía Decocolor Prismacolor y marcadores para esta foto, pintura acrílica que funcionan igualmente bien. Independientemente de que usted elija, el punto de la 4 ª etapa es hacer que todo aspecto liso.

The Art Gallery Alpha Males rock it out in the New York Subway. Kunst recites a poem that he made about MFA's or Masters in Fine Art. This is also meant to be a critique of early twenty first century "Art World" culture. Mentioned are the artists Damian Hirst and Andres Serrano. A short film by Merrill Kazanjian Merrillk.com. I sampled the fantastic U2 track, "Desire"from Rattle and Hum, in this four minute fifty second movie. The Art Gallery Alpha Males are meant to be a parody of New York City Art Gallery culture; which is often referred to as, the "Art World". Also mentioned in this film is Adolf Hitler. Kazanjian wryly penned that Adolf Hitler was a MFA- A "Megalomaniac From Austria", even though he was rejected from art school and became a dictator who murdered millions of innocent people.

What do you get when you "Photoshop" Bruce Lee, Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris? - There would be lots of spin kicking, artificial testosterone, bad hair pieces,ex wives and Martial Arts trophies. This superhuman would be able to enter any dragon or Kumate; and would be very "Hard to Kill", so dont mess with them, or else you will end up in a "deeper plot" than a bad 1980's movie.

I used Photoshop CS3 and Paint Shop Pro 9 to merge the faces of these movie superheroes. I depended heavily on the digital scissor/ quick selection and magic wand tools as well as the smudge brush and the lighten and darken tool.
¿Qué se obtiene cuando "Photoshop" Bruce Lee, Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Dam y Chuck Norris? - No habrá un montón de spin patadas, testosterona artificial, piezas de pelo malo, ex esposas y Artes Marciales trofeos. Esta sobrehumana podría entrar en cualquier dragón o Kumate, y sería muy "Hard to Kill", así que no meterse con ellos, o de lo contrario puede acabar en una parcela de más "que una mala película de 1980. Yo Photoshop CS3 y Paint Shop Pro 9 de fusionar los rostros de estos superhéroes de película. Yo dependía en gran medida de la tijera digital y la selección rápida y herramientas de varita mágica, así como el pincel y la mancha aclarar y oscurecer la herramienta.
Qu'est-ce que vous obtenez lorsque vous "Photoshop" Bruce Lee, Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Dam et Chuck Norris? - Il y aurait beaucoup d'effet coup de pied, de la testostérone artificielle, mèches de cheveux mal, ex-épouses et Martial Arts trophées. Cette surhumaine serait en mesure de pénétrer dans un dragon ou Kumate, et serait très "Hard to Kill", donc ne mess avec eux, ou bien vous allez vous retrouver dans une parcelle de «plus profonde» que d'un mauvais film des années 1980. J'ai utilisé Photoshop CS3 et Paint Shop Pro 9 de fusionner les visages de ces super-héros de cinéma. Je comptais beaucoup sur les ciseaux numérique / sélection rapide et baguette magique des outils ainsi que la brosse et la tache alléger et d'assombrir l'outil.
你当你得到的Photoshop李小龙，史蒂芬席格，尚格云大坝和查克诺里斯？ - 将不会有很多旋转踢，人工激素，坏根头发，前妻子及奖杯武术。这超人将能够进入任何龙或Kumate，并会非常很难杀死，所以他们请勿乱用，否则你将结束在一个更深的阴谋了比坏1980年的电影。我使用的Photoshop CS3和Paint Shop Pro 9合并这些电影超级英雄的面孔。本人在很大程度上依赖于数字剪刀/快速选择和魔术棒工具以及刷的污迹和减轻和变暗工具。何を取得するときに"Photoshopの"ブルースリー、スティーブンセガール、ジャン=クロードヴァンダム、チャックノリス？ - が多くなる、人工テストステロンキックスピン、悪いヘアピース、元妻や格闘技のトロフィー。この超人的な任意の龍やKumateを入力できるようになる、とされる、非常に"ハード"キルになるので、いけない彼らに手を出すか、または他の場合は、"深いプロットに終わるだろう"悪い1980年の映画より。私は、これらの映画のヒーローの顔をマージするPhotoshop CS3とPaint Shop Proの9を使用。私は大きくデジタルはさみに依存する/素早く選択し、魔法の杖のツールとしてだけでなく、汚れブラシを軽くするとツールを暗くする。Que você começa quando você "Photoshop" Bruce Lee, Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Dam e Chuck Norris? - Não seria muita rotação chutar, testosterona artificial, ruim para o cabelo, ex-esposas e troféus de Artes Marciais. Esta sobre-humano seria capaz de entrar em qualquer dragão ou Kumate, e seria muito "Hard to Kill", por isso não mexa com eles, ou então você vai acabar em uma trama "mais profundo" do que um filme de 1980 é ruim. Eu usei o Photoshop CS3 e Paint Shop Pro 9 para mesclar os rostos desses super-heróis do filme. Eu dependia fortemente da tesoura digital / seleção rápida e ferramentas de varinha mágica, assim como o pincel e sujar a clarear e escurecer ferramenta.

A demonstration of an illustration technique with illustration markers and color pencils. See more of my work Here: http://merrillk.com One hour compressed in to less than one minute (Time Lapse). A time lapse / speed draw demonstration in time for St. Patrick's day. I used a mixed media approach to draw this character. I used illustration markers (prismacolor and AD), color pencils and acrylic paint. The color pencils are great for detail and the illustration markers are a fast way to lay down base color. I used only white acrylic paint to cover some mistakes on the sides of the head. I also used a paint brush and mineral spirits (turpentine, turpenoid, paint thinner) to blend the color pencil to give this angry Leprechaun a more realistic look. I made the body separately and I used Photoshop to attatch the head to the body.(Check out some of my tradigital videos to see how I do that). Thanks for checking out the video- Merrill Kazanjian merrillk.com

Une heure comprimé à moins d'une minute. Un laps de temps / vitesse de démonstration tirer à temps pour la Saint-Patrick's day. J'ai utilisé une approche mixte des médias pour attirer ce personnage. J'ai utilisé des marqueurs de l'illustration (Prismacolor et AD), les crayons de couleur et de peinture acrylique. Les crayons de couleur sont idéales pour le détail et l'illustration marqueurs sont un moyen rapide de fixer la couleur de base. J'ai utilisé la peinture acrylique blanche uniquement pour couvrir les quelques erreurs sur les côtés de la tête. J'ai aussi utilisé un pinceau et minérales (essence de térébenthine, turpenoid, diluant à peinture) afin de mélanger les crayons de couleur à donner à cette colère Leprechaun un look plus réaliste. J'ai fait séparément le corps et j'ai utilisé Photoshop attatch à la tête de l'organisme. (Voir certains de mes tradigital vidéos à voir comment je le faire).

Prior to 2008, I had never ventured outside of the medium of oil paint. Life got HECTIC and I was forced to reconsider my approach. Here (below) is the story.
For the past eight years, I have taught art in schools in Harlem and the South Bronx and my technique was created out of a need that arose in my classroom. Forty five minute periods is not enough time to teach painting. So I switched my painting supplies from traditional supplies, to paint markers to eliminate the set up and clean up. After witnessing the success that my students were having, I decided to push the technique even further, while working in my studio. I learned that mixing color pencils with a "blender" (on top of the opaque layers of the paint markers) marker allows an artist to mimic the effects of glazed oil paint. I incorporated media "cut outs" and printed images in my work. And I found that paint markers were ideal to tie everything together. Finally I learned that scanning my images on to a computer will allow me to edit my "characters" and add crazy effects such as juxtaposing images on top of my creations. The computer also enables me to use the medium that I am most familiar with; oil paint. I usually print my compositions on canvas ( I order an non varnished giclee print) and lay down the finishing touches in oil paint.

Antes de 2008, nunca había aventurado fuera de la media de aceite de la pintura. Tiene vida agitada y me vi obligado a reconsiderar mi enfoque. Aquí (abajo) es la historia. Durante los últimos ocho años, me han enseñado en las escuelas de arte en Harlem y el sur del Bronx y mi técnica fue creada por la necesidad que surgió en mi aula. Períodos de cuarenta y cinco minutos no es tiempo suficiente para enseñar a pintar. Así pasé mi pintura tradicionales suministros de suministros, a la pintura para eliminar los marcadores de la creación y la limpieza. Después de ver el éxito que están teniendo mis estudiantes, decidí impulsar aún más la técnica, mientras trabajaba en mi estudio. Me enteré de que la mezcla de lápices de color con una "licuadora" (en la parte superior de la opacidad de las capas de pintura marcadores) marcador permite a un artista para imitar los efectos de cristal de aceite de la pintura. He incorporado los medios de comunicación "recortes" y las imágenes impresas en mi trabajo. Y he encontrado que los marcadores de la pintura eran ideales para atar todo junto. Finalmente me enteré de que mis imágenes de escaneado en un equipo que me permita editar mis "personajes" y añadir efectos como loco yuxtaponiendo imágenes en la parte superior de mis creaciones. La computadora también me permite utilizar el medio que estoy más familiarizado con; de pintura de aceite. Por lo general mi impresión composiciones sobre lienzo (que no una orden de impresión Giclee barnizada) y establecer los últimos retoques de pintura en aceite.

How to Draw Katy Perry- Extended Shading Tutorial. Music by Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com
0:11- 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.
0:21 Notice the difference between the upper eyelashes and the lower ones. The upper eyelashes are much darker. Use a 4B to 6B pencil on the eyelashes right away.
0:30 The pupil of the eye is darker in tone than the iris. You will see that I shade the "white" of the eye with the paintbrush. I pull some of the graphite over from the iris and the eyelashes. Do not go too dark though.
0:35 Watch how I use the paper stump to do the eyelashes. 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.........And if you dont have Q-Tips, how the hell do you clean your ears????
0:45-- Do not go too dark under her eyes. Our skin thins and becomes more transparent as we age. Let Katy Perry keep her "Teenage Dream" and don't give her bags under her eyes......yet. It is OK to darken the area a bit because the eye protrudes from the eye socket (feel your eyeball NOW) and the area around the eyeball is almost always in shadow.
1:05 The darkest part of the mouth is the two corners.
1:26- "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.
2:00- Learning shading is like learning another language. You are translating tones. Get in the habit of looking at my reference image once for every five seconds.
2:10- 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.
2:34- 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.
3:18- Every drawing has an "awkward" stage. This is the awkward stage for this drawing.
3:39- Notice that I am making points at the bottom of the teeth, between each tooth.

3:39- Teeth are tricky. Try not to keep the dark lines between each tooth. Generally, the upper teeth are more defined at the bottom, when a person smiles because they overlap the tops of the bottom teeth. Katy Perry's bottom teeth are not visible in this picture.
4:59- Hair has a lot of tones. I am going to start out with a 5B pencil and press hard to create solid straight lines in areas where there are a variety of "tones"- aka- light and dark "values". In generally darker areas such as the upper left, I am hatching in a neutral (half) tone, followed by darker values. Notice that this is the total opposite method of what I did for the skin of the face.
5:46- Hot tip- Use the kneaded eraser and the pencils eraser to create highlights.
5:46- Hot tip #2- Invest in graphite sticks (think really think pencils). You will see me use one in a moment.
7:27- Now, Watch me use all of my "tools" (brush, blending stump, graphite stick, eraser, finger) to get the effects that I want. Try not to use the fingers though because the oils in the hand will be absorbed in to the paper and the shading will be inconsistent.
9:28- It is important to darken (neutralize) the background of a portrait on white paper if you want the highlights to fully develop.
10:14- If the hair in your drawing looks like a "block" consider retouching the edges of the hair shape (as I am doing now).
10:31- I am making highlights with the eraser in the hair
11:21- I am starting to shade the body. Follow the same shading pattern as the face. The left is in highlight, the right is in slight shadow.
11:58- There are several slight shadows in the upper chest area between the two shapes for the hair. Take note of that as you watch me develop them.
12:33- The arm on the right (her left arm) will be about as dark as the shading on the neck.
12:55- It is common in portraiture for the background of an image to be the opposite as the foreground. For instance, notice that the highlight is on her right cheek and the background is dark. It switches on the other side. This is an old artists trick which works because the variance in tones moves the viewers eye around.
13:58- The last thing to do is to "soften" everything. Notice that I use the brush and the eraser a lot.

My friend Al Alvir has a very popular Boxing/Mixed Martial Arts blog- http://shootafairone.com/ and I decided to create a character for one of the writers he has on staff (O'Toole). Allen is a big fan of Mike Tyson (heavyweight champion) and his legendary trainer Cus D'Amato who also trained managed Floyd Patterson (olympic and heavyweight champion) and Jose Torres (light heavyweight champion) so I made this character with D'Amato in mind. I used D'Amato reference photos for my initial drawing but also had fictional "Rocky" trainer Mickey Goldmill in mind (portrayed by Burgess Meredith). Using these two icons; one from pop culture one from reality, gave me an interesting image to illustrate. In this video, I documented my process.

I started out with a pencil drawing that was based on reference photos of Cus D'Amato and fictional character Mickey Goldmill. Next, I cut out two boxing gloves from a photograph and glued them down. Then, I added a layer of illustration marker to quickly put down some color. I followed the markers with a layer of color pencil and I exadurated the wrinkles. I also use color pencil to prime the artwork for painting. Then I added some paint. The paint mixes very well with the color pencil. Next I scanned the artwork and opened it up in Paint Shop Pro 9. I didnt like the pose of the body so I changed it. (Arent digital possibilities wonderful?) I juxtaposed hands legs and feet. Then I printed it again. The print is like a dried layer of paint. I started layering with color pencil again and I followed it up with oil paint. Mixing traditional mediums with digital technologies is called tradigital art.

I use the artistic techniques of tradigital illustration to draw violinist/musician Emilie Autumn. I will show you how to blend traditional media with digital media in this mixed media artistic illustration technique.

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!

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.
