So much information packed in to a short video, and so clearly explained. I have had a lightbulb moment while watching Morgan work!
It's given me some of the answers as to why I've struggled with (and avoided) painting for so long. The way I approach my drawing practice doesn't translate well to other mediums well, and being overwhelmed with colour. I've always wanted my drawings to look this way, but never quite figured out how to achieve this painterly quality. I'm over halfway there in how I already work, just some tweaks to how I think about drawing. Going away to adjust how I approach drawing first and then I'll revisit painting again!

Ive tried sharpening my pencils and charcoals with a razorblade, though it doesnt come out the way I wouldve liked. Either the led breaks or I cant figure how to get the tones as I would like. Any recommendations for what kind of charcoal/pencils would be good to begin practicing with? I havent found any swedish retailer selling the paperwrapped charcoals Morgan uses.

I don't usually leave comments but this one stunned me! It was so great. I learned so much from this 20 min vid! Thanks again Morgan and Proko! Btw, to you Morgan I've used Fred Fixler's and your technique of the tile method on my portraits and it works! Thank you!

Oh wow!
I'm at the point where I roughly understand the anatomy and the shapes of features, knowing the planes etc. But I was getting stuck on likeness and an abundance of construction and sketch lines. This is just what I needed!

Recently been looking to move into more traditional mediums to supplement the digital stuff, and this looks like a really fun way to paint! Thanks for making this, definately going to be giving this method a bash!

Morgan's paintings are awesome no doubt but what i really wanna see is more of his drawings. his website either has none or Im finding them difficult to find for some reason.

How come Proko's picture looks like someone in a costume, whereas the drawing looks like the portrait of some legit cowboy or whatever he's supposed to be?

Great instruction but surprisingly, he couldn't capture the position of the head and the expression in the eyes in both; drawing and painting.

excellent excellent demo! I love the connection from drawing to painting and the use of the limited palette at first. Thank you!
