About me (bio) :
I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.
The material I use most of the time (not necessarily in this video) :

I'm learning academic drawing and this overview is very helpful. Especially as you said, the 'mass-in' was a skipped step for me. I was doing darks and highlights too early. Thanks!
-
This process has immediately improved my drawing. Thank you so much.

This is pure Gold, right here.

I love how you explain 5 stages of drawing, really helpful, thanks a lot.

This was a very helpful video! I instinctively have been starting with the block in, but skipped right to modeling since I don't have any formal education in art. I will start following these steps! Maybe it could help keep me from getting over whelmed by all the details. Thanks for all your content. I'm working my way through all your videos.

Thank you so much for reigniting my interest in cast and statue drawing, it’s nice to find someone who uses graphite and charcoal. I’m now learning more each time I draw.😊

I found your channel by accident and I was watching a few of your videos, I love them. I'm not a painter but I'm experimenting with watercolors and acrylic at the moment but I'm afraid to use oil paintings, you have a video for oil painting for beginners your gave us a beautiful explanation. Thanks.

Thanks florent for this beautiful video

Thank you so much for this series! I've come to the conclusion that accuracy is important no matter what style in which one draws/paints. I've used a number of methods to get the basic outline & then jumped to modeling & rendering with the expectation that the drawing was correct. I'm actually relieved to hear that it's common to not see some errors without some value & look forward to putting the mass-in into practice. And the plumb line is going to be very useful as a starting point. I'm excited about learning this method. Thank you for your wonderful instruction. I appreciate the time you've put into helping other artists improve their skills.
