Top 5 things you want from a color theory course?

@Stephen Bauman which paper are you using here. Which paper is ideal for pencil drawing like the ones you do. Could you share specific brand and paper speciation as well please

Hi, I wanted to ask which pencil you use for making such portraits

Hello Stephen, Great job. I just finished watching the entire series of real-time videos and I got a lot out of it. You gave lots of good ideas about technique and things to think about while creating a portrait like this. But... at the very last moment of the final video, there's a bit of a surprise. In the image below, the left side shows how your drawing appears throughout the real-time videos. Then, on the right side, we see the final drawing in the "Thanks For Watching" screen and it is much darker with more contrast. Can you please tell me which one, left or right, best represents the final image? I actually like both, but I'm about to try this portrait myself and I want to mimic your approach as much as I can. But now I'm not sure what my end-state is supposed to look like. Thanks Rich

Can I apply your course if I work acrylics?

hey so...what is the difference between the course Classical Portraiture Techniques and Concepts to this one?
