- READ FIRST:
This video is useful, but also dangerous. I used to think, that in order to learn to draw (from imagination) one should start with the most basic thing - drawing lines, getting muscle memory. Now I think this is something you learn automatically on the way, sooner or later, but more importantly, I think learning it too early MAY EVEN HARM your process! Yes, that is right. Thinking in lines, and being able to draw confident lines can get in your way and block you, if the understanding of what you are drawing lacks behind. To me at drawing ideas of lines of legs came to my mind, because I have drawn many legs, but I lacked the spatial imagination and the feel of volume and understanding of the 3d shape of a leg. These confident leg-lines made me think I somehow can draw legs from imagination, and this hindered me for a long time to tackle what was really important, and to understand the fundamentals, and what was really going on. In order to draw from imagination.. just do it. Start simple, draw often completely without reference, draw from memory, get feedback, watch what you tried to draw afterwards and learn from your mistakes, draw from life, try to not see what you see, but to understand what you see, ask yourself, why does it look like it looks, observe and understand space, color etc, and always move on, being aware that it rather is a 2 steps forward, one step back process, and your progress is a sneaky thing that may be hard to notice in short terms. If you got started with that, maybe you could watch this video and greatly benefit from it. Having said this, here is the prior description, and enjoy watching and trying! :)
This video is about drawing Exact Lines at the first attempt and getting Muscle Memory. You will develop automatisms that enable you to catch any line directly and free thinking capacity for other things.
This topic sets the base for drawing lines and is required in most of the following tutorials.
Timeline:
0:00 Introduction, Dos and Don'ts
1:01 Do it quick/Window arches and first exercise
2:58 Second experience: Drawing hands
3:58 How I draw today/second exercise
4:47 Example redrawing a nose
5:18 General stuff and Muscle Memory
6:43 Other artists and the feeling of drawing lines that way
7:31 (Incomplete) summary and tip
ATTENTION: You don't need to become a factory that draws perfect window arches and you don't need to be able to draw good looking faces that quickly. I also just showed you my best attempts. These are just exercises and it's all about getting the FEELING OF FORCING YOUR PEN! Usually I draw much slower, especially at difficult subjects as faces. Once you perceived the feeling of forcing your pen you can move back to a drawing speed you feel more convenient with.
Examples of artists drawing that way:
Kim Jung Gi: • Video
Karl Kopinski: • Sketchbook sketching 1

DONT'T BE INTIMIDATED! You don't need to become a factory that draws perfect window arches and you don't need to be able to draw good looking faces that quickly. I think it was a bad choice to show you just my best attempts, implying that you have to do it perfectly. You don't! I also am not able to get it everytime perfectly, and especially not that quickly. These are just exercises and it's all about getting the FEELING OF FORCING YOUR PEN! Usually I draw much slower, especially at difficult subjects as faces. Once you perceived the feeling of forcing your pen you can move back to a drawing speed you feel more convenient with.
Thank you, i'm a beginner and i'm not gonna force myself to draw perfectly
I need to start slowly and not go hard
@@NoName-kp2tj yeah, don't go hard! I kind of regret if this video suggests that it has to be perfect, it totally doesn't need to be. also if I can give a suggestion to you, I found something in the meantime: drawabox.com/lesson/0/1
drawabox from what I have seen covers everything very nice, too, and more completely than I could do here yet.
happy practicing!
I love the way you teach and the language you use to do so. It's encouraging and kind and I love all of the smileys you use!!! :) Thank you for posting your videos.
Very happy to read that :)
It ’s very nice art. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much =)
Nice Phillip👌🏻
They way you explaining is very useful amd understanding 👍
awesome video my dude
did you perceive the feeling of forcing your pen? ;)
this helped me a bit more i have made progress and my drawings are looking more and more similar because of this. thanks so much
Very happy to read that!
Einfach super gelungenes Video. Gratulation
Dankeschön :))
Aka inertia
how do you deal with curved top like 8:48?
I draw with the arm, but very similar: I concentrate on the line and draw it in one motion.
Learning to draw with the arm is the subject of another video from me: ua-cam.com/video/856AABjsKgU/v-deo.html
Alternatively what I recently discovered and what also seems to cover everything from the base is drawabox:
drawabox.com/lesson/0/1
Here you learn the art fundamentals, like spatial imagination etc, but in the beginning it focuses on drawing lines and drawing with the arm. I highly recommend it! Maybe more than my own videos ;D
Happy drawing!
@@phipsart6424 interesting... thank you.

Erster 💥
Your firmness while gripping pencil is too much.
Try gripping loosely and in upper part of pencil.
True
@@phipsart6424 well its was 2 years ago you must have had improved now.
@@P-S-R I dare to say I have^^ back then I used to think that a picture is a sum of details
