I was adamant that if I started Art Prof that our content would be 100% free. I teach college and it frustrates me that there are so many wonderful artists who just don't have the resources to attend art school, but who have the passion. So we're trying to make that possible for everyone. -Prof Lieu
@@artprof I am incredibly grateful for your channel - I just found you! I begged to go to art school after graduating HS, but was told absolutely not (but it was okay to go to business school so I'd have a "real career"). I dreamed of going to the Corcoran, which is near me, but, sadly, it was not going to be my future. That was over 30 years ago; I took some classes at my local junior college when I could afford it, and I loved it. But life takes over (kids, family, financial responsibility) and I wasn't able to stick with it regularly, so I dabbled. Now that I'm looking at retirement, I am hopeful that I'll have real time to devote to art making - I found it very fulfilling when I could really focus on it. You have SO MUCH great information on your channel - THANK YOU!!!! I am incredibly grateful!!

"If you look at someone's face and say all I see is orange and red, all you're gonna see is orange and red. You have to search for blues. You have to search for greens". This was a gem of advice! Thanks for your videos!
I know it sounds excruciating to look at yourself for long, but honestly you get over it and get immersed in the drawing. Great exercise so you can draw from life without needing to get someone to pose! -Prof Lieu
i was the same way with my first self portrait (i actually started crying in art class LMAO) but after watching a lot of art prof videos, i’ve actually been inspired to be my own model! it’s really good practice and i’m not as upset with looking at my face for that long anymore

"..and the cheekbone connects to the ear." And in that 3 seconds, I began to see things differently. Holy crap, it blew my mind how I was never told about this 🤯 I always have hard time with the form of the face! But like you said about anatomy, it's like connecting the dots. As one of the most complex art topics, I should have expected there's gonna be more to anatomy that we haven't heard yet. This video is awesome!
im almost in tears after reading and agreeing 100 percent with this... the pain of failing in my own eyes has been due to little pieces of knowledge missing that become learning gaps in my overall education and technique that i trip up on and everything, ultimately my motivation especially, gets lost in... thank you, your videos are beyond words.

Wonderful video! I really like your self portrait! I like how you made the crayon strokes visible, I like the colors in that piece. In my opinion it’s so much more interesting that you used “not obvious colors,” if you look very carefully, you can see some of those beautiful colors. Well done! Great demo! Thanks!

A lot of great information. Thank you. I’m holding on to that bit about artificial light being warm highlights and cool shadows and outdoor light being cool highlights and warm shadows. A very needed clarification for me.
I’ve been drawing portraits and self portraits for a while now and i thought i knew all i needed to know but you just gave me some very very good tips and facts :) thank you!
This was so useful❤️ I had an assignment a while back to draw a self portrait, I went to my phone to use a photo as reference but then my teacher started pulling out mirrors! It was in black & white (edit: on white paper) and I really wasn’t happy with it at the end. This gives me inspiration for when I’ll do a self portrait again, Btw I’ve just been watching a ton of these videos and they are so so helpful, thank u so much🥰👍

Beautiful painting and very informative! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been drawing portraits and self portraits for a while now and i thought i knew all i needed to know but you just gave me some very very good tips and facts :) thank you!
Glad I could help!
Brilliant!
This was so useful❤️ I had an assignment a while back to draw a self portrait, I went to my phone to use a photo as reference but then my teacher started pulling out mirrors! It was in black & white (edit: on white paper) and I really wasn’t happy with it at the end. This gives me inspiration for when I’ll do a self portrait again, Btw I’ve just been watching a ton of these videos and they are so so helpful, thank u so much🥰👍
So glad you found us!! -Prof Lieu
Thank you - very inspiring and great information about how to set up a scenario that gives the most interesting possibilities.
Thanks for watching! The set up is seriously half the battle, once you get over that hurdle it's so much easier to draw!
