Viewers: these are collection of OTHER ARTISTS' videos, all in China. It is NOT the fine art academy's art. Having said that, I really appreciate the fine art academy putting these videos here. I enjoy watching and learning from these videos. The materials are mainly Chinese made. It is a general rule for this type of drawing/cast drawing you should start with softer pencil. The wonderful teacher here who uses a very soft pencil to start with, probably 8b maybe even 12b!
Ahhh. Another lets play a soundtrack and I am not going to tell you anything. You can just guess at the process and guess at what I am thinking as I create.
It is the standard quick way portrait practice skills in China,( for the art student in high school level), it is hard to draw like him without the understanding of the light and tones. Drawing like this save time and effective outcome in the end, however the it command tons of skills and internal understanding of many things, I've been training like this in the past, and it was difficult to achieve my goal. I learn the basics again when i finished my drawing learning when I was at high school.
