Lately, I have seen more visual artists posting high quality work on youtube than ever before.

Tonight, my channel hit a milestone. Kazanjianm reached 25,000 subscribers. But to celebrate, I want to ask you a simple question.

What channel do you think is the most underrated visual arts channel on YouTube? In the comments section below, please nominate a channel with less than 10,000 subscribers. If you want to nominate your channel, post your best video as a video response to this video.

One week from today, I am going to tally up all of the comments and up votes, and I am going to do something special for the channel that gets the most votes.

Today I have two minutes to teach you how to draw the expression of fear in the human eye. I will demonstrate the process step by step and I will try to make it totally painless.
Dont be scared, this is what you have to look for-
Notice that a fearful eye features a distinct gap between the iris and the top eyelid. This separation is about one fifth the height of the eye. The shape of the eye is slightly taller than a calm eye with a higher arching rainbow on the top eyelid. The bottom eyelid has become more flexed and is hugging the eyeball more than in the calm eye. The biggest difference is the distance between the eyebrow and the eye. The muscles of the forehead pull the eyebrow upwards. The skin between the eyebrow and the eye resembles the tightness of skin tight clothing. The viewer can see the bony area at the top of the eye socket and the rounded shape of the top of the eyeball (which can lead to extreme shadows depending upon the lighting).
Step 1- Make a circle with a rainbow shape above it. Leave a gap that is one fifth the height of the eye between the circle and rainbow.
Step 2- Add the bottom eyelid and the tear duct in the corner of the eye. The eyelid should barely graze the bottom of the iris.
Step 3- Complete the shapes of the top and bottom eyelids.
Step 4- Fill in the shape of the eyebrow. Be sure to leave a lot of space between the top of the eyelid and the bottom of the eyebrow.
Step 5- Shade the pupil and iris. The Iris should always be the darkest tone on the face.
Step 6- Shade the area above the upper eyelid and below the eyebrow. The darkest shading in this part should be immediately above the eyelid. Gradually shade lighter as you approach the eyebrow.
Step 7- Shade in the eyebrow. It should be similar in tone to the area above the eyelid.
Step 8- Shade in the upper eyelid and the eyelashes. The lashes should be slightly lighter than the pupil.
Step 9- Shade in the lower eyelid slightly darker than the upper eyelid.
Remember if you want a print version of this lesson, go to my website Merrillk.com and type in fearful eye in the search box in the upper left corner. Thanks for watching the video!....Merrill Kazanjian
Hoy tengo dos minutos para que le enseñe cómo dibujar la expresión de miedo en el ojo humano. Voy a demostrar el proceso paso a paso y voy a intentar que sea totalmente indoloro.

No se asuste, esto es lo que usted tiene que buscar -

Observe que un ojo temeroso características una clara diferencia entre el iris y el párpado superior. Esta separación es aproximadamente una quinta parte de la altura de los ojos. La forma de los ojos es ligeramente más alto que un ojo con calma un arqueo superior arco iris en la parte superior del párpado. El párpado inferior se ha vuelto más flexionadas y abrazando el globo ocular es más que la calma en el ojo. La mayor diferencia es la distancia entre la ceja y el ojo. Los músculos de la frente hacia arriba, tire de la ceja. La piel entre las cejas y el ojo se parece a la estrechez de la piel ropa ajustada. El espectador puede ver la zona ósea en la parte superior de las órbitas y la forma redondeada de la parte superior del globo ocular (lo que puede conducir a la extrema sombras dependiendo de la iluminación).

Paso 1 - Hacer un círculo con forma de un arco iris por encima de ella. Deja un vacío que es un quinto de la altura de los ojos entre el círculo y el arco iris.

Paso 2 - Añadir la parte inferior del párpado y la rotura del conducto en la esquina del ojo. Los párpados deben rozar apenas la parte inferior del iris.

Paso 3 - Completar las formas de los párpados superior e inferior.

Paso 4 - Introducir en la forma de la ceja. Asegúrese de dejar un montón de espacio entre la parte superior del párpado y la parte inferior de la ceja.

Paso 5 - La sombra de la pupila y el iris. El Iris debe ser siempre el tono más oscuro en la cara.

Paso 6 - la zona de sombra sobre el párpado superior y por debajo de la ceja. El sombreado más oscuro en esta parte debe ser inmediatamente por encima del párpado. Poco a poco la sombra más ligera a medida que se aproxima la ceja.

Paso 7 - Sombra en la ceja. Debe ser similar en tono a la zona por encima del párpado.

Paso 8 - La sombra en el párpado superior y las pestañas. Las pestañas deben ser ligeramente más liviano que el alumno.

Paso 9 - La sombra en el párpado inferior ligeramente más oscuro que el párpado superior.

Recuerde que si desea una versión impresa de esta lección, ir a mi sitio web Merrillk.com y el tipo de miedo en los ojos el cuadro de búsqueda en la esquina superior izquierda. Gracias por ver el video !.... Merrill Kazanjian

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 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
