Hi, I don't understand when you take the width that you have determined on the paper and then rotate the pencil vertically it to create a square how can you be sure that after rotating it the pencil hasn't moved from the original position?
@@mariocosentino3863 You should try to pinch your finger around the point of the pencil that maintains the measurement.
It's not often that i subscribe to a yt channel , but this video and the channel over all is of good quality , keep it up!
the length of the lead on the pencil gives me anxiety
Its an academic thing..
It’s for if he wants to draw with an overhand grip, it’s common for fine artists to carve back their pencils to expose more lead :)
ender gaming yeah i just use a lead/charcoal holder bc ain’t nobody got time for whittling pencils
I opened the video to see a crazy weird pencil and the word "persimmon" and thought "Huh, so that's what art school does to people."
I bet its great practise for not pressing too hard down with your pencil.
This is more helpful than spending 4 hours in my drawing class.
Exactly. Someones just dont wat to teach art, couse it base on talent they say. And theese people went teaching... I assume, to sabotage?....
ı cracked! hahahah yeah indeed!
Yare yare
lol I got shafted out of a drawing class
@@MultiTrollface999 is the reason because you, as they said on Impractical jokers, dry humped the sculptures?
i like how you managed to get straight to the point and only talk about the subject on hand. really informative and definitely helped me figure out how to not fuck up my proportions.
right!
Thanks. I've been teaching myself to draw so I'll give this technique a try.
Sounds good, hope it goes well :)
Same with me 😂
Bro same, I’ve never watched art videos but now I want to try and be good
learned something new
Guestimate
Glad to hear 😊
I’ve never even heard of the fruit he’s drawing...
@@ggtiket I had my first persimmon a few months ago, it was growing on my grandpa's farm
Holy... This what i need for a long time ago, i have been learning to draw but no improvement at all, thank you so much
No problem, more drawing basics and fundamentals to come :)
Been drawing by myself since I was a little kid. I'm 25 now and this video is super interesting to me because I have no freaking technique and wing everything lol but somehow it turns out nice probably just from spending so much time on it. Maybe I can finally incorporate such a technique as this into my process to make things easier and faster for me. ^^ Thank you dude
Glad to hear it!
I was the same, and was subconsciously using some comparative size/position techniques (I love doing portraits) - I know that eye's a bit low and can fix it by moving it up where the eye cavity is level with x and y - but watching a few videos like this (which I thought was great btw) made me so much quicker, formalised my thinking, and with extra ideas. In fact these sort of vids made me feel I wasn't unartistic, which I've felt at times, they made me feel like I was on the right line.
Incorporate it, it's so worth it! And look for other vids too around this subject. You'll be so much quicker and if you get frustrated or feel like it's busywork trying to get things in the right place, this sort of instruction is brilliant and lets you get on with the fun stuff.
if it would be possible, i deffinitely would be liked this 3 times already, You just solved a big problem of me. I had a serious fight against proportions and perspectives. Now I see more clearly.Thank you.
The same with me...I was taking measures deliberately in a way instinctive
Can i ask how are you doing with your art's
@@artsyabin8145 hi, I am struggling since but not as much as then. It is. a shame but I need a teacher, so this is my new mission. Wish me luck. :) Also I am learning a lot like compositions and line art. I am a bit shy about my art in this state but I definitely see the end of the struggle now, that I did not see before.
@@kyraakira7933 woah you replied so quick. Wish you all the best
Here is a guesstimate proportioning trick that I discovered today, which helps with proportioning complex forms before you've started breaking them down: First pick out a few points on the outline of your reference that you can use as anchors. Guess where those points land on the page, then sketch "probing" lines that simply connect all of the points to each other. All of the points will be somewhat wrong at first, but what happens when you connect them is that the probing lines will start to reveal where the error is, because they'll form different angles than what you see in the reference - and then you can go back for a more confident second pass.
I've always struggled with proportion, but in a lot of cases, it comes down to a mix of using more reference and finding a way of constructing it that lets me calculate and subdivide with simpler, easier-to-estimate ratios.
You are an amazing teacher! I’m so glad I’ve found you. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge.
You have no idea how much the way you teach can resonate with someone
Sir, so helpful because I stopped drawing from last 6 months and I found really hard to draw now.your tutorial help a lot to back on my drawings.
Thanks. This video shows me from where to start a drawing.
Thanks again.
Awesome 😎 have fun.
thank you for sharing! I am new to drawing and trying to be a self thought medical illustrator. ı am always out of proportions. thank you and really looking forward to more tutorials of all kind.
Love that you give real-world, practical instruction. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
That Pencil tip looks like its going to break O.O
I think it’s so you draw lighter with a longer tip and that can be useful when sketching 🖤🖤🖤
It’s the fact that he doesn’t even have an eraser O.O
I remember watching this video about a year and a half ago when I started to learn and didn't get the concept so much. What I know now though this video makes much more sense.
Thank you!
Have been following you for sometime now. Really enjoy every bit of it. Just don't stop doing it. Thumbs up.
Thanks for all your videos, inspirational, motivating. Much love
Wow I learned so much from this! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much!
I never realized our ears lined up the way the do!! Itll be a lot easier for me to place them on figures now that I know this!
Thank you so much, finally someone who explains the one thing I couldn't figure out.. I DO feel kind of dumb cause now the solution seems obvious.. just make either height or width a fixed length but maaaan... this taught me more of what i wanted to know than my art classes. Sometimes it's those small things that make all the difference. So again, thank you!
I wish I watched this two years ago, this video has provided a great help go me and will definitely use the advice.
Thank you!!!!
Great help! I've needed that video for years! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful :)
This is the hack i needed to feel progress in my art, thanks so much
This has to be the first time in my life that I searched for something and found *exactly* what I was looking for! This helps so much! Thanks!
Really glad to hear
Thank you for this terrific explanation and method of maintaining proportions. Your videos are fantastic, and your work is extraordinary.
Great video, very helpful. Everything I know I've pretty much been self taught and would love a career in art. Your videos are very informative
Have fun 😊
Ive struggled with proportions for the longest, thank you for this
Really helpful! Thank you. I watercolor but am a terrible sketcher; this gives me such a good starting point. Please keep posting!
Will do. Hope it goes well 😊
I cannot tell you how much this video and method improved my proportions. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it helped!
Thanks man for this tips! I love you work man! Congrats!
Thanks man! 😊
Returning to drawing after over a decade of not, thank you for this, very helpful :)
great lesson! you are a brilliant teacher, thank you for sharing your wisdom :)
It was so useful video. Thanks Schaefer.
Very useful and important video, thank you
Glad it was helpful :) Have fun!
I love that you got into the useful information immediately.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is definitely helpful ! Thankyou.
100 drawing vids later about proportions and yours is by far the only true way to capture reality,not the formulaic and statuesque formula most others practice ,thanks
Thanks for the kind words! Glad it was helpful :)
so helpful! great explanation, ill def be using this method, thank you!
Awesome to hear!
This was the most helpful video on this topic thanks
Thank you so much. This video was very helpful, and I appreciate it so much.
Very helpful video. I'm definitely going to have to try that about keeping the width or height the same. My drawings always seem to get smaller the longer I work them.
Haha I know what you mean, it happens to us all :) Mine get larger sometimes but I do try to stick to this method and I find it helpful too. Things don't always go as planned though, so it takes a lot of practice to get used to it.
Terrific tutorial. Very beneficial technique, especially for portraits. Thanks for posting.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the tips. It helps me a lot
Glad to hear :) More to come.
Thanks so much for the thorough video-I just subbed! 😁💖
Thanks for subbing! Much appreciated :)
Thank you this is very helpful i was having some trouble understanding this but you helped me
Thank you! Your video is really good!
Hi I’m really struggling with proportions and accuracy so this is great! However I use watercolours and often find myself left with visible sketch lines or mucky eraser marks as watercolour paints are very faint and transparent and of course I use the unpainted paper as highlights so pencil marks show through. How would you deal with this problem? Thanks!
I'm actually a watercolorist as well. But mostly landscapes so usually the sketch beforehand doesn't have to be that accurate - usually. What kind of subjects do you paint?
Honestly, that was very well explained sir. A good deal of videos I watched often diverge off topic.
Glad to hear
Thanks!! hope you do more tutorials
Plan on it, a lot more to come :)
For someone who is trying to learn how to draw on their own from scratch, this is incredibly helpful and easy to interpret!
Awesome to hear
Thankyou so much ! This is a very helpful video

Wow, thank you!
Nicely done. Thanks for the video.
For sure 😊
Awesome video Brandon! I've been following your channel for a couple years and doing art for about that long, but I learned something with this video. Keep it up man, Hope to see you hit that million sub mark!
Glad to hear :) I'm going to be focusing more on the basics and fundamentals for a while because it seems it would help a lot of folks out. I think it'll be a long while before I hit the 1 million mark haha, but I am really close to 300,000. But who's counting.
Best explanation EVER! ❤️
So helpful! Thank you.
No problem 😊
This is so helpful. i can even take help from your videos for any entrance exams!!!!!
Awesome :)

Glad to hear 😊
Thank you for just getting right to it! Love that
You're welcome!
Very nicely explained.
Thank you sir
Glad to hear!
U make it seem so simple.. its awesome 👍
I try to simplify things when I can :) It's still a challenging method of drawing but I think it might help a lot of folks figure out where there problems lie.
Thanks. Looking forward to learning more about measurements and maybe relationships (?) between objects and interior perspectives. 😀 I still struggle with these things...So tired of trying to fix a wonky interior painting.
Yes going to do more on this. Do you mean interior as in buildings and such or interior just in terms of like a face and features inside of an object?
SchaeferArt I was referring to the interior of a room and the alignment of furniture, figures, floors, walls, corners...wrt receding lines, etc.
Very nicely done Brando.
😎 thank you!
Thank you so much I have watched sooo many vids on how to yours is so well explained great stuff !! How do you sharpen your pencils please have a good day
Brandon, how would you go about measuring objects that are off in the distance?
2:00- it’s happened to me in the past, it’s happened to all of us. Dude- bold of you to assume that I’ve drawn before, the best I’ve done is stick figures when I was in kindergarten and I haven’t drawn since. But tysm for your tutorial on perception. It’s helping me a lot rn
Thank you this was helpful
Glad to hear 😊 no problem.

Awesome very useful thanks
No problem.

Great video
You deserve more subs.
Thank you :) I don't really worry about the numbers. I just want to help the people that I already have!
Thank you, very helpful tips. However I didn't understand how the diagonal line related to your picture.
i have a big problem with width. whenever i draw something i find that i have made it wider than it should be yet height seems to be ok (ish).. when i match things up to see how much i am out its a large margin. any ideas what i am doing wrong or what habit i have that i need to work towards correcting ?
Good one.
