I was reflecting upon a recurring question from the hangout (How can an artist transition from drawing from reference images to drawing from memory?) This video should help.

I saw a realism challenge that Mark Crilley did where he crumples up a piece of paper and draws it. It is called, Drawing Time Lapse: Realism Challenge-- Crumpled Paper. I wanted to see how well I was able to respond to the great Crilley!

Here is Mark's original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZdkjjj3Rg0
The song Cartoon Battle used in this video is by Kevin Macleod of Incompetech.com. Website- http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/faq.html

I used Prismacolor color pencils and Prismacolor markers (also Chartpak AD) markers and Pantone. (colored) This drawing took Two Hours but it is time lapsed in to one minute. If I succeeded with my artwork, I created, the Nerdiest Nerd in the world, the King of all Geeks, the Duke of Dorkhood, the Prince of Pocket Protectors....you get the point! Artist Merrill Kazanjian draws/paints a glorious nerd in a time lapse video. 2 Hours of work compressed in to a little over a minute.

Do you fake the funk on a nasty dunk? Little Old Man's "got game", but his skills are nothing compared to Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls (NBA- National Basketball Association), the man most responsible for keeping my Knicks without a title in the 1990's. It took me a long time to forgive MJ for that... but I think I have ...so I made a two video tutorial on how to draw him......Video 1 will give you step by step instruction on how to draw his head and video 2 will give you step by step instruction on how to draw his body. As always, hit the link in the video description to go to a printable step by step guide to help you draw and shade. Pause the video at the end of each step. Lets get started

Step 1: Draw an egg shape
Step 2: Put ears on the egg shape.... notice that the ear to your right is smaller than the ear to the left because his head is turned. Notice that their placement is on either side of the center of the egg.
Step 3: Add the two polygons that you see. Start each polygon at the top of the ear shape. Take some extra time to notice their shape and size. Then, just below the bottom of each ear, add a flat line, which we will later turn in to Michael Jordans nose. Finally, add a line for the mouth, one third of the way down, between the nose line and the chin line, at the bottom of the egg.
Step 4: Take a second to observe what happened to the nose line- I turned it in to three connected arcs. Notice the size and placement of the nostrils. Also add the sloping lines on either side of the nose
Step 5: Add the lines around the mouth. Notice that the top lip is M shaped and smaller than the bottom lip, which is shaped like an upside down rainbow. Also, observe and add Michael Jordan's moustache.
Step 6: Add the eyes and eyebrows. Take a second to notice their size and placement. The eyebrows are somewhat triangular, and lie on the inside corners of the polygons. The eyes are almond shaped and lie closer to the top, than the bottom of the polygon.
Step 7: Take some time to observe and add the lines for the shadows at the top of his head.
Step 8: Now observe and add the shadow lines on the bottom of the face.....He kind of looks like Darth Maul from Star Wars
Step 9: Add the lines for the ear on the left. If you wish, do the same for the ear on the right.

To shade I used a paint brush, graphite sticks, 3B, 6B and HB pencils, a blending stump (tortillion)....a q-tip can be substituted. I made this drawing on charcoal paper.

Michael Jordan played most of his career with the Chicago Bulls, but also played for the Washington Wizards. He took a year off to play in the White Sox organization (MLB- Major League Baseball) for the
Birmingham Barons after the death of his father James Jordan, He hit 203 and managed to hit 3 home runs and drive in over 50 runs. While jordan was with the bulls, he teamed with Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson to win five championships. Michael Jordan finished his career with the highest PPG average."how to draw famous people step by step" how to draw basketball players step by step

If you own a computer, and you have a myspace account, chances are, you have seen what is known as the myspace self photo....also known as the TOO MUCH INFORMATION profile pic! These photos are usually a combination of blatant misspelling and nudity. Sexxii Grannii (Sexy Granny) ON DECK (Whatever the HELL that means)!

As an artist, it is my job document what exists in the world around me. Right now (early 2010), the social networking sites are king......so I created this mixed media artwork, based upon a scary picture that I saw on Myspace.

I took a mixed media approach in creating this work.
1.) Pencil- I used the pencil to sketch the initial pose. I do not do any shading while working with the pencil (in step one)
2.) Illustration Marker- Prismacolor and Chartpak Ad markers allow me to put down layers of color quickly. These markers leave transparent marks of color, similar to watercolor paint and often, their vibrancy can be seen through layers of translucent color (added later).
3.) Color Pencils- The fine tip of color pencils allow me to make marks with extreme precision. I use prismacolor color pencils because they blend extremely well and are compatible with oil paint.
4.) Oil Paint- The most versatile medium. Oil paint can be applied in thick "impasto" style or in thin transparent glazes. In this case, I tried to finish my work......but I decided that I needed to make a few changes.
5.) In order to make those changes, I let my work dry, then scanned it, then opened it up in....
6.) Photoshop (And Paint Shop Pro 9)- THese two computer programs allow me to do digital collage and edit/refine my work. In this case, I changed the posture of the character.
7.) Print- On SPECIAL paper (hit the link)
8.) Color pencil- to bring out the tones (again) and prep the paper for oil paint (yes, it is a good primer). Also the color from the color pencils mix with the oil paint, which creates a cool effect.
9.) Oil Paint- Finishing touches
10.) Scan
11.) Save as a PNG file....so that I can use this character multiple times.

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.

This video will give you step by step "Lin"struction on how to draw New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin. All you need is a sharp"lin"ed pencil and some paper. Just follow my easy steps and I will "Lin"hance your artistic abilities and "Lin"able you to draw a portrait of the Knicks "Lin"famous point guard, who is currently living a "Lin"derella story. Whats that you say? You shoot free throws like Shaquille O'neal and you make stick figures look fat when you draw? Oh thats silly talk! Dont worry! This is a team effort.

Let me say this in your "Lin"go because I dont want to be mis"lin"terpreted. This will be as easy as playing "Lin"tendo. Drawing is part of every persons basic "Lin"stincts. It is natural to draw and it is a "lin"stigated effort to learn your letters. We are going to turn back the clock and re"lin"vent your artistic vocabulary.

What? Are you not "Lin"tertained? Put down your Egg McMuff"lin" and grab a pencil. Lets begin!

Step 1: Draw the two shapes that you see. Be sure to notice the angle of the V shape. Notice that the right side of the V is slightly higher than the left side.
Step 2: Add the five shapes that I just added. Be sure to notice their scale and how they overlap the shapes from step 1.
Step 3: Add one more finger to the shape from step 2.
Step 4: Add the tall U shape. Notice its angle and observe that it is slightly taller than the shape from step 1.
Step 5: Add the shapes around the U shape.
Step 6: Point guards need fingers. Give Linsanity some fingers.
Step 7: Give the man a jersey! The Jersey is about 3 times as tall as the shape from step 1.
Step 8: Add his other arm.
Step 9: Now its time to letter his Jersey. Just remember that the New York is at armpit level. And the number 1 is under the New and the 7 is under the York. If you want to challenge yourself, try to leave a white outline around the letters.
Step 10: Make an oval for the head. If you want to make him a bobble head make a large oval. Either way, try to keep the same height versus width proportions as mine. Notice that I added three lines. The head can be split up in four somewhat equal sections; 1.) chin to bottom of nose 2.) bottom of nose to eyebrows 3.) eyebrows to hairline ....and 4.) hair. Notice that the only section that was slightly longer on Jeremy Lin was from bottom of nose to chin. The other three sections fit that formula perfectly. The hair might seem shorter, but that is because I am going to extend it when I shade his hair.
Step 11: Add the two shapes for the orbits of each eye. Notice their scale compared to the head shape and notice that that they are situated towards your right.
Step 12: Add the hairline.
Step 13: Add the nose.
Step 14: Add the ears.
Step 15: Add the rainbow shapes for the upper eyelids.
Step 16: Place the pupil and iris underneath.
Step 17: Add the eyebrows at the top of the eye shape.
Step 18: Add the eyelids above the eyes.
Step 19: Add the opening for the mouth. Notice that it is a flattened half circle and that it is situated more towards the nose than the chin.
Step 20: Add the lips. Notice that the upper lip and lower lip are similar in size.
Step 21: It is time to do the hair. The first thing that you need to do is erase the original line because the hairline is a soft line. I extended the hair on the top and in front. Both have very soft edges.
Step 22: Will cover the top of Jeremy Lin's face. I started off by erasing the lines. Then I added wrinkle lines to the forehead since he has a tense expression. Then I darkened the area above the eyes and used the blending stump to smudge. I used the eraser to create highlights.
Step 23: There are very distinct lines at the bottom of the orbits of the eye on Jeremy Lin's face. They point towards the bottom of the ears. Generally speaking the neck will be darker than the face. Jeremy Lin has a very muscular face so dont worry about softening things. Its ok to leave jagged edges. He has a very dark shadow under his chin.
Step 24: I started by creating a dark line around the collar and the sleeves. Then I added a second line above it which left a solid white line in between. The lettering is tricky. You just have to take your time with it. Try to maintain the white edge around the letters and numbers.
Step 25: In step 25 we draw the hands and arms. Use the eraser to add highlights and the pencil to add shading.

Men can sometimes struggle with words.

Little Old Man: Are you a parking ticket?
Little Old Lady: (What?)
Little Old Man: Because, you got fine written all over you.

Fortunately, Merrill is here to help. Imagery can replace words and today, I am going to teach you how to make a drawing that you could give to your crush or your significant other. All you will need is paper, a pencil and some romantic incentive and I will take care of the rest.

It has been said that a picture is worth 1000 words, so you probably don't want to mess up this drawing. Don't worry. You won't. Hit the link in the video description. The link will take you to my guide with photos and text, which will make this drawing as easy as possible.

Little Old Man: Baby, you are like a student and I am like a math book, you solve all my problems

Little Old Lady: (Slap)
Little Old Man: I'm not a player I just crush a lot.

Step 1: Draw an oval and two tree stump shapes.
Step 2: Draw the fist shape. Be sure to notice its placement within the oval shape.
Step 3: Draw the shape that I just added. Notice that it looks like a cartoon face from profile view. Also notice that a part of this shape goes outside the oval shape.
Step 4: Add the upside down rainbow shape, between the two shapes from the previous steps.
Step 5: Add the fingernails.
Step 6: Add the lines between the fingers.
Step 7: Erase the egg shape.

Link- http://merrillk.com/index.php?part=fineart&articles_id=5980&collection=114 Today, YOU are going to draw Kobe Bryant. It doesn't matter if you have prior art training or not. This video will break the process down in to simple steps so that anyone can do it. Grab a pencil and paper and let me show you what I mean. Remember to pause the video when you need to. Here we go.
Step 1: Draw an oval shape for Kobe's head. Notice that the bottom of the oval looks like an upside down trapezoid while the top of the oval shape is rounded.
Step 2: Make four horizontal lines. The top line MUST intersect the midway point of the oval shape. The lowest line should be placed at the bottom of the chin. After drawing the top and bottom lines, add two EVENLY SPACED lines between the top and bottom line. At the end of step two, you should have THREE evenly spaced segments between the top and bottom lines (refer to the picture).
Step 3: Observe the six dots that I added. The top four map out the corners of Kobe's eyes, while the bottom two map out the corners of his mouth. Lets look at their relationship. Notice that these dots are leaning towards the right side of the oval. This is due to the fact that Kobe's head is slightly turned. Also, take a second to notice the distance in between the two eyes is equal to one eye length. Finally, notice that the middle part of the space designated for each eye, will line up with the outer corners of the mouth. Now, draw in the six dots.
Step 4: Draw in the eyes....The upper eyelid as a rainbow shape and the bottom lid is close to a straight line. Notice that the iris is partially blocked by the upper eyelid.
Step 5: Encapsulate the eye in the oval shape that I just added.

Step 6: In this step, make the bottom of the nose by drawing three connected, upside down arches. Do not worry about the bridge of the nose yet. After you make the bottom of the nose, draw the shape for the upper lip...... The upper lip looks like a squished McDonalds logo (picture the golden arches squished).

Step 7: Add the bottom lip. It is similar to a banana shape. Notice that the bottom lip is thicker than the top lip. Now that we have the eyes and part of the mouth done, take a second to notice the perfect square that is formed when you connect the points from the middle of the eye and the corners of the mouth. Make adjustments if you do not have this perfect square.
Step 8: Draw in the two shapes between the eyes and nose. Like the bottom lip, these shapes are very similar to banana shapes. They will help us shade the nose later.
Step 9: Now add in the ears. Due to the fact that Kobe's head is turned; it appears that his left ear is smaller than his right. This, of course is not the case, but draw what you see.
Step 10: Draw in the lines, stemming from the chin, as well as Kobe's dimple lines.
Step 11: Draw in Kobe's hairline. Again, due to the turn of his head, you will see more hair on the right side.
Step 12: Erase the construction lines
Now, I will show you how to shade your drawing. Don't worry, this too, will be easy! You have three options to learn shading. Option one- click the link in the video description to go to a webpage that I made for this video..... on my website, merrillk.com. You will see a series of 17 steps with picture references and words. You will also see a free downloadable resource that you can print. Option two is to watch a shading demonstration in the second part of this video; and option three is a separate video; where I will demonstrate how I shaded Kobe at a slower pace. Please take advantage of all of these options. I am confident that they will help.

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

Drawing Tutorial- Howto draw Bruno Mars Step by Step. Today, if you feel like doing something, I am going to teach you how to draw Bruno Mars. Don't just lay in your bed, kick up your feet and stare at a fan. Thats just silly talk. Artists have to remain occupied or else we wind up moving to the South of France to chop off our ears. So I recommend that you get out of your snuggie and grab a pencil and some paper. While you are at it, hit the link in the video description. The link will take you to my guide with photos and text, which accompanies this video. It will make drawing Bruno Mars a lot less difficult. Oh and if you wanted to see someone dougie, here you go.
Step 1: Draw the two shapes that you see. I recommend that you start out in the lower right corner.
Step 2: Draw in the neck shape. Try to match the width and the height of this shape as closely as you can.
Step 3: Draw in the other shoulder.
Step 4: Draw in a bowl shape for the bottom of his head.
Step 5: Add the top of the head. Notice that it is significantly larger than the bowl shape at the bottom of the head. Do your best to observe and draw the contour line as accurately as possible.
Step 6: Add the triangular shape to the side of the head.
Step 7: Add the ear shape. Notice that its origin is at the line which runs accross the bowl shape.
Step 8: This is the trickiest step. Draw the shapes that I just added. This tip will help. It is a similar distance from the eyebrow to the bottom of the nose, as it is from the eyebrow to the hairline.
Step 9: Draw in the shape for Bruno's left eye socket.
Step 10 Draw in the shape for Bruno's left eye and eyebrow. Notice the placement of both of these shapes within the eye socket shape.
Step 11: Complete the nose shape
Step 12: Add Bruno's hat. Look closely and see that his hat is basically a banana shape and a trapezoid.
Step 13: Add Bruno Mars upper lip.
Step 14: Add Bruno Mars bottom lip.
