Lee Hammond Lifelike Drawing in Colored Pencil DVD Books

Lee Hammond is a remarkable teacher. The job of a good teacher is not to lose her student's attention and to simplify the material to the point where he/she can connect. Because I had always been interested in art, following the basic instruction that I received in middle school, I took an advanced art class in high school. That was over forty years ago, and while I continued to produce an occasional sketch, I never grew as an artist. I would rate my level of success at about a C or fair, although some people seem to like what I produced - beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder; I wasn't happy with my "finished products". After recently thumbing through one of Miss Hammond's books and watching one and half of her videos, I finally acquired what I lacked: a good foundation. At the point that arthritis crippled and weakened my hands to such a degree that I stopped doing many manual jobs that I enjoyed, a few weeks ago, I decided to try art again. Miss Hammond's instruction has helped immensely - this self-taught artist has two exceptional gifts: she's an excellent artist and a great teacher; the two don't always go hand in hand, but Lee Hammond definitely has the touch.

I have observed several video instructors, going back to the days of black and white TV until now, and in one afternoon, I've learned more about technique from Miss Hammond than ever before. True, artists don't always use the same techniques or follow the set "givens". Being self-taught, Miss Hammond apparently developed her skills using analytical thinking, a lot of trial and error, and staying the course until she hit upon the secrets to producing lifelike pictures. Making the procedure simple, but not boring, for a student to follow is the ace in the hole.

Today, I received three of Miss Hammond's DVD's: "Lifelike Drawing in Colored Pencil", "Drawing Lifelike Portraits with Lee Hammond", and "Lifelike Drawing". I'll have to look for more after I've accomplished something worthwhile with these, and I don't think it will take long, although Miss Hammond cautions her students to be patient and not rush.

I quickly popped the first DVD into the player; it's wonderful that you can view the DVD's anywhere and not attached to a computer. Miss Hammond starts each lesson by introducing the viewer to the materials he'll need for the project. Next, she progresses to technique; which include instruction in shading, layering, blending, and, in the case of colored pencils, burnishing; how to hold your tools; and how to preserve them. The first lesson is to work with your pencil, moving it up and down, and back and forth. Then you work your way up to a sphere, which she points out, is an essential part of many jobs that you will tackle. Her patient, step by step instruction kept me glued to the screen. Now, I see every picture in the newspaper in a brand new way. Mind you, I had already learned that I could draw a person or animal by looking for certain geometric shapes within the targeted subject; but learning from Miss Hammond is like moving from hamburgers to fillet mignon - now I really, really see the shapes, lighting, and shading in every situation. Arthritis or no arthritis I'm going to strive to get as good as I can get and hopefully incorporate such drawings into the production of a couple of children's books that I'm presently working on, and the credit will go to Miss Hammond's gifts.

After Miss Hammond illustrates how to draw the sphere in the colored pencil video, she shows you variances of the shape as they're found in a peach, a pear, and a vase; and demonstrates how you can get a peach to look like a nectarine by paying attention to the way you use your colors. You'll learn to work with an acetate grid (a graph on a clear plastic sheet) in order to draw the vase and a monarch butterfly and later fill in the color and shading. The last lesson shows you how to draw a lifelike flower with water droplets.

A couple of tools that she doesn't use here is the Prismacolor blending pencil, which I hope to experiment with, and a technique that I picked up while watching one of Mark Crilley's followers on YouTube: if you tend to rest your hand on the page as you draw and smear it, especially when you use soft graphite, you can prevent the problem by placing tissue paper between your hand and the surface and reposition the paper as you progress on the page; don't drag it across your work. Oh, the template that she uses for making circles is called CThru T-83, large and small circles template. It makes circles as small as 1/16 of an inch, the iris in a baby's eye, to 2 ¼ inches; that's about the size of a doorknob. Most reviewers like it because it's transparent; I wish the 7 by 10 sheet was smaller or came in two to four parts that would be easier to use.

Lee Hammond Lifelike Drawing in Colored Pencil DVD Books Reviews

This DVD is pretty good. I have been drawing with graphite for a few years and just dabbled in colored pencil 'cause I couldn't get the hang of it. By seeing the author use colored pencils, I see where I have been going wrong.
Lee has a nice way of teaching as she is realistic and recogonizes everyone isn't a pro. I like the way she explains her own beginnings and knows the ups and downs of starting out. The only thing I wish there had been more explained about the complete process of the steps from beginning to end. However it was easy to follow and she had some interesting tips to pass on which were very helpful in improving my artwork.
