Finally the Cheries is done. I finished it little by little after getting home from work. 😂

I haven’t read the other comments so maybe I’m telling you something you already know. Sorry.

Hyper realism is when the contrast is very high in the details of the drawing. For example: add more darkness to the lips on your drawing underneath the white areas. Then add some (skin)lines above the white part of the lip.

If you have done…

There are still so many things I need to improve… What does hyper-realistic actually mean? Is my drawing heading in the right direction? What else do I need […]

I so recognise what you say about drawing straight lines. You can use a tool but that doesn’t automatically mean the line is straight 🥴

Because of that I now use a tool that makes sure my lines are straight all the time: drawing board with a parallel ruler. I’ve got mine from Faber castell. It’s…

So far in this course, I’ve had nothing but fun, and I hadn’t done a class that wasn’t exciting to draw—until now! The three-point perspective […]

Your drawings look amazing. You did a fantastic job at the shading!

I never thought I could draw these sketches, thank you sir Ali for making this course. I am excited to continue

Goodmorning everyone,

Thank you so much!

Love the drawing. The imperfections makes the drawing perfect. No human being has perfect lashes or other body parts. 😉

Hij vroeg of ik een tekening van hem wilde maken, ik zei dat ik het wel wilde proberen en bij deze!

A little update from me. Ali already knew about my situation but i dont remember if I told you guys.

Currently I’m in chemotherapy for breastcancer. I still have a long road to go and its hard. Most of the times I’m to tired for drawing. I try to finish up some pieces but the amount of details wear me out.

Today Im doing okay-ish.

See…

I was tweeking at the drawing this afternoon and then I realised that enough is enough. I hung it proudly at our wall 🥰

You are. absolutely right This part irritated me the most. Ik vond de highlights a bit to much. The portrait feels a bit messy. The funny is that didnt spend much time or efort in area of the neck. but that part looks very well

Hi eveeyone

How are you all doing? Today i choose to work with coloured pencils. I started in a colouring book (the ice cream) with Prisma colours, but men…that paper is way to smooth for Prisma colour. So i was fed up with it and started with the butterfly this one I drew myself and used Polychromos pencils

I wish you all a…

I was a teacher for many years for kids your age and in all those years there were two of them who had a natural talent at that age. I’m not saying others can’t learn, of course they can! But if you have a gift at your age…please, use it and develop your skills even more.

Hey everyone✌️

Hi everyone im Elsie from BC Canada 🇨🇦…looking forward on improving my drawing and learning all Ali’s techniques to do amazing portraits😊

The paper also can damage very easily with erasing.

I don’t care what anyone says, but paper does matter. YOu want materials that work with you instead of against you. I tried tons of…

For that reason I once asked Ali to do a tutorial of realistic drawing of a child. Lucky for me I made it…of my son. It still hangs in my livingroom to this day.

One of the earlier days work, but left it hald way, im pretty happh witj wwhat it has become so far..

You started drawing three weeks ago? Why on earth would you make it so difficult for yourself by drawing a human face 😱🫢

I’m not judging you in any way by the way! I also started with a human eye and the next step was drawing an advanced portrait of a girl with water on her face. I even was disappointed that it didn’t look that well…

This is a graphite drawing i recently finished.

I saw this tutorial and i just had to give it a try. The water on the forehead isnt that bright yet. Should I use a white paint marker or make the forehead darker?

I started again with the drawing. 🫣 I’m just so annoyed with the cream paper. This time on Strathmore Mixed media – 400 series.

Currently me and my son arent in good mental health. So I cant draw or work on anything very complicated. To take my mind of things I restarted the Drawing course from @alihaiderrehman on Udemy. Even though I have worked on more complicated pieces re-doing the basics is very relaxing and makes me feel less insecure when my…

The second one was my first try on coloured pencils. This was a colouring page. I use these a lot because I want to focus on using colours and dont want to worry about drawing the lines.

I can say that I learned a lot about colour because I swatched a…

Second one is an enlargement from a tiny piece of the famous picture ‘the boy with the cello’ from 1947.

I am so happy that this community is back! I used to be a member on Patreon but I really missed the community so I wasnt around. Ali told me that he and his team created this platform and now Im back 🤩

Hope you guys are doing well!
