David Jon Kassan: Two Hour Male Face Study – Realism
Beautiful realist study of a male life model’s face for Kassan’s art class in NYC. Sped up to replicate the actual two hour study you can see where Kassan begins with very crude dark block filling with his charcoal. He introduces finer detailing with the charcoal and then the pencil. The face quickly takes shape and you begin to admire just how good he really is. His final touches include the use of a white pencil for highlights and tints to bring out some of the key features. A pure class video on how to draw like a realist.
Thanks, I’ve been asked by a few folks to do a painting DVD, but not sure I would have much to add to what is already out there. One of my students filmed this randomly and I thought I would play around with the clip for fun.
hey David. I was wondering if you are using vine or compressed charcoal, or both? Could you list your materials and method more specifically? brands and etc? Also i was wondering if you do more instructional videos? youve got great ability, nice work.
