I'm pretty good at drawing when drawing from a reference but when it comes to drawing by memory, I'm not very good. It's something I definitely want to improve on. It's not something I always want to use. This tutorial was very helpful and I'll definitely try out these exercises. Thank you for sharing. It was very informative.
I know this comment was a while ago but I have the same issue where I’m good at drawing with reference but I can’t draw from memory. Did you improve with this technique? And do u have any tips for improving?
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the password. I love any tips you can give me.
I have recently been amazed by finding out that when I draw a complex picture for the second time, sometimes months apart, I have a so much easier time with it. It takes so much less time. Sometimes I couldn’t even remember drawing it, but then I go back into my sketchbook and there it was! I look forward to trying this.
Thanks a lot for sharing, it's hard to find a UA-cam tutor who knows what he's talking about but you do ! I will watch both of your english and French videos , that way I'll be able to practice both my drawing and my French... Thank you again.
I can draw any reference, and now i need to jump to the next level which is drawing from memory.. Drawing my crush for instance 😉. Thanks man helpful video
I respect your work alot..u are one of the few fine artists I have seen who actually knows all about their craft..If u get a live model n make a video on drawing from life portraits that would be helpful...god bless you
I love your enouragement and how you put attention to the attitude and thoughts on drawing as well 😌 Thank you so much! Will definetely put this on practice :)
This video is amazing im glad i found it! I'm currently practising for architecture exams and memory drawing is one of the subjects that gets tested . That made me panic a lot cause i only have a practise of looking at a sketch and drawing! But im going to try this method and work on that drawback thankyou soo much you really are a lifesaver!
This memory drawing exercise is much much more important to learning to draw then people realize. It is everything , it is extremely difficult when you start, but stick with it , it may even make you feel funny, you can feel you’re brain struggling with it , that’s a good thing , that’s you’re mental blocks breaking.
I really like the idea, I think I'll start practicing this every day along with other exercices. I don't have access to good books like you have for reference, do you have any other idea, a website, a source, where I could get this type of simplified drawings ?
First exercise..alwYs that overall angle. It happens to me a lot Exercise two. Wow! Three....holy cow! So it’s possible Doing the same guy is an aid for my starting year I think but that is just a coincidence .....
+jkonopka1 Hi ! I cover my bristle brushes after I wash them with water and soap to keep a good shape. I simply fold a piece of paper towel around the tip when they're still wet, it doesn't prevent them to dry properly.
@@Michael-hb8nq I guess I always had good basic visual memory so if you train like this you reach a pretty high level, very useful for figurative art 👍👍
I love your work! I will def look into getting the book too. Also random question: what do you when you are trying to draw and nothing comes out? Like an artists block. I've been trying to draw for a while and nothing good enough comes out from my hand. 🙁
+Shannon Curran If every line is not coming out right, then throw it away and start again, it's normal to do that for every artist, there should be no pressure about it... Also, the fun factor is important if you struggle sometimes. When I get bored or uninspired, I like to draw fantasy characters, ugly faces, monsters or scenes from my imagination. It's not for anyone to see, it's just for pleasure, it makes it a lot more enjoyable. Good luck !
+Florent Farges - arts yea true true. Thank you for your advice! I do then mostly doodle so I can just draw. Got my sketchbook here, and will start to draw something. Lol.
@@shaneth3178 you can also scroll down the instagram explore feed, under the art section, it gives me a lot of ideas regularly. But generally when I'm bored I draw randomn faces based on the face proportions I learned
Hi, can you make an academic program for people who want learn academic drawing? you will just give us what we will drawing during 1 or 2 year like in academies of fine arts, for example this week 3 drawings of bargues, next week exercices on sading, next portraiture, next anatomy...you will not showing us how to draw them or give us courses on anatomy, you just give us A PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM, what i know is the progressif and systematic work are the keys of success...i have a year drawing but i don't know what to practice always...i think this thing will be very very important for serious people who want to learn academic drawing...for example you give us a plate for C.bargues we will search how to draw it on internet...many people teir dream is to going to a school of fine arts but they never have this chance....Thank you for your Help.
+Med Mahogany (Son Of Carthage) Hi ! Thanks for your message. The idea is great, and I agree with you that progression is key. Every time, a student needs to do something not too hard but not too easy either, just at the right level. It needs some real thinking. I will keep your suggestion in mind, but at the moment, this is not somethings I would have the time to do. Until then, you can always go to an art academy website and look for their students handbooks, they usually explain their progression and the type of work students should do. Like this : www.florenceacademyofart.com/index.php/en/certificate-programs/category/intensive-drawing-2 And you can find all the academies of art here : artrenewal.org/pages/ateliers.php And one last thing about scheduling your work : in classical art academies, drawings are not usually made in one week, they usually take months. This is that goal for perfect accuracy that takes so much time. By yourself, it's going to be way more difficult to spend a month on a small drawing, but when you have critique, you always find that some things can be changed and need more work. The idea is to practice on less different things but to make them more accurate...

Hi!
I would like to reconnect with my drawing by memory
Fantastic! Art schools don't teach like this anymore.
Thank you !
I was lucky to have two realist painters for teachers over the years. Then I found the Bargue drawing book.
I can draw any reference, and now i need to jump to the next level which is drawing from memory.. Drawing my crush for instance 😉. Thanks man helpful video
Him: explaining the stuff.
Me: (focusing on the paintings and how good they are) 👁👄👁

I love your enouragement and how you put attention to the attitude and thoughts on drawing as well 😌
Thank you so much! Will definetely put this on practice :)
Thank you so much--great video! I loved learning about how our minds work when we draw! I appreciate your work and videos very much.

I am glad I can help ! I hope it works for you during your tests !
thank you so much visual memory is indeed an overlooked skill.

Awesome video... will definitely try it and let you know. thank you very much

Pragmatic Dreamer Have you checked your local library for similar books?
First exercise..alwYs that overall angle. It happens to me a lot
Exercise two. Wow!
Three....holy cow! So it’s possible
Doing the same guy is an aid for my starting year I think but that is just a coincidence .....
So Nice tutorial
+Moosa Sanani Thanks a lot !
Welcome
Thank you. Excellent videos! How and why do you cover your brushes (seen in the background)?
+jkonopka1 Hi ! I cover my bristle brushes after I wash them with water and soap to keep a good shape. I simply fold a piece of paper towel around the tip when they're still wet, it doesn't prevent them to dry properly.
Oh! Good idea, thanks again :).
You're amazing
+Samescape Thanks ! I practiced a lot...
I would also recommend study some anatomy like skull bones and muscles instead of trying to memorize every shape
Thank you for the ideas. Interesting accent, by the way.
Can you make a video about shading in pencil the classical way
+Jireh Brian Dimalanta Hi ! I can't say for sure but I will add this idea to my "to do list" ! Thanks for the suggestion...
Thanks!
I feel its necessary to practice not using muscle memory for this aswell
super dear
Did you stick with this?
If so, did it make a difference after 6 years?
I don't do this exercise anymore but I do have a good visual memory, I use it every day and it works great!
@@FlorentFargesarts I was curious if you developed it with things like this , or just always had it .
