I love how he's sketching so casual like and not sketching like he's better than anyone else...if that makes sense...a pretentious artist would either be critizing their sketches or making excuses for why they are shit...he sketches like most artists do, shitty, like sketches are supposed to be!!
I've gotta admit, these first three videos so far have explained a lot more than my basic art classes. I feel like, just by watching these, my art has improved greatly. Thanks so much for these! :)
Dude you have no idea how so so grateful I am to have come across your channel. I use to like drawing back in my early school years (I'm now in my 20's) but I stopped because I was really bad at it and I'd see other students' artwork and feel intimidated. I ultimately just came to the conclusion that I wasn't "born" to draw lol, silly me. I wished right now the present me could go back in time and just slap some common sense into the young naive me 😂 I realize now that practice and patience is absolute key! things don't just happen overnight. I hear/d it all the time, if you like, love, and or want something, you need to put in WORK to achieve. After watching your first 2 videos of this series, and now I'm here 💁 I'm more motivated than ever to get back into drawing and hopefully I'll become as good as you one day 😊 Thank you so much dude!!!
Rainbow Cloud your comment just shook me. I stopped drawing for the same reason but your comment slapped some common sense into my young brain so thanks lol
I'm in the same boat as you dude and thought the same...except I waited until 30 to start drawing because I grew up thinking I sucked at it. I'm trying to go into another career path now and get into doing digital concept art and probably some 3d modelling on the side (figured I do my own concept art for my own references for the models.)
I've been drawing occasionally for years now, just basically looking at something and drawing whatever it was, I randomly shaded for the sake of giving it an effect. I look back at them after this video and realized I had about 40 different light sources lol. I picked up a pencil and was almost amazed at the clarity I had of light and its importance. So thanks, never thought I would get any further and I automatically got better after a 15 minute video.
man! thank you for devoting your time to teach us something like this. I was drawing when I was still in high school but stopped cause I thought it won't be useful in the future. but here I am now getting back to basics, because I work as a graphic designer and I find drawing very useful in this field. thank you for the time and effort! please keep up updated. God bless! and cheers from the Philippines :)
Yes he is correct in that learning the basics is the foundation of realism, dimension, depth and believability in your art work. I love the challenge to improve my art skills. Brandon is a very good art teacher . Thank you Brandon for your contribution, experience time and effort, Victoria
After many years of thinking I couldn’t draw I finally picked up a pencil and tried, with your first three videos I am amazed at what I can achieve, it may be small but from someone who couldn’t even draw a decent stick man to manage circle with a shadow and a bit of shading is a small miracle and for it to look quite realistic is nothing but a revelation to me, I feel for the first time there is hope for me yet…. Thank you 😊
This tutorial is very nice. You get what you pay for here. No trickery to deceitfully draw viewers in, valuable yet simple. This is the direction this platform should head in.
Well the base is simple shapes, such as the head, (a circle), the body (rectangles and everything) and a bit of squiggles for scenery. Then the actual painting is the hard part.
Thank you so much for these! I really appreciate that the focus is to get out there and try everything and find what you like best. I've already noticed an improvement in my sketching
Man, I like how chill you are in your videos. I’m hoping watching these can help me stay motivated to draw because right now, it’s hard for me. Every now and then, I’ll sit down for hours and just draw a single drawing. The last one was a drawing of Goku, and it took me about 8hrs. Every drawing I start strong. I sketch it out going off a reference photo and I love it. It looks pretty good. I ink it and then I color it and it comes out looking nothing like what I thought it would. Now, I’ll try drawing simple stuff that pops up in my head and I can’t even do that. If anything, it feels like my skills are regressing. I get so demotivated and put my pencil down for long periods of time and refuse to pick it back up because I know anything I draw won’t even be close to what I want. I know I can do it. I can see it in my head and I know exactly what to do but when it comes to making my pencil do it, I can’t. It’s been almost two years since I’ve drawn and it makes me sad. I just want to be good but I can’t get over my own fear of failure. I’ve been planning out this manga story I want to do since I was 18. This story is my dream and I know it will do well if I can just get it out there but I can’t do that unless I get good enough to draw for it. Part of me feels like my dream will just die and I’ll never get good enough no matter how hard I try. I’m sorry, I know this is a long tangent that goes in like 50 different directions and nobody will probably even read it but I have nobody to talk to about it. My only friend that draws is a “professional artist” who does digital design and makes drawings for commission and basically just brags about how good his art is and how it’s better than mine. It’s 5am, I’m exhausted but I can’t sleep because my brain just decided to let me sit and think about how I’ll probably never succeed so that’s fun. Anyways, I’ll shut up now. Thank you for the video, once again. You’re being very generous with your time teaching this skill to others. I hope they can pick it up easier than I can and I hope you succeed in all your endeavors.
start learning drawing with your video two days ago and today is lesson 3:) it's a lot harder than just watching you drawing. spent almost one hour and still hasn't finish the first sphere...i will keep it up:)
+SchaeferArt Do you believe in talent? Do you believe that if somebody is "talented" and they never draw whenever they decide to pick up a pencil is gonna be easier than someone who does it everyday?Who would end up better? I really wanna get into digital concept art but I don't see myself drawing those backgrounds,but ill keep trying none theless
+winterhell2002 nah, being good at something is all about the structure of parts of your brain, if your brain is already closer to the ideal structure for a skill, then you have a 'talent'. So from the start, people can be better. However, just about everyone can do it, it just takes more work for some people. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people.
+Chris McQueen Finally someone reasonable about "talent" and how skill learning works. Hard to find. However I don't see it as like someone brain structure is better for a skill in general. In some point, different people will realize different things more easier. A few will learn (or realize by itself) shading concepts more easier while others gesture, color, composition, environment, human drawing, etc. It's not a matter of having "talent" but of which 10% of a skill will come naturally to you.
Just relax and don't over think it. Remember what he said on the first video, don't fall into having a perfectionist attitude when drawing. Don't give up.
I just feel like Schaefer knows me really well. Its the third video that I am watching and I just feel the connection. Love and respect from Pakistan :)
Him: *Talks about different types of pencils* Me: “Ahhh I seee” *picks up HB2 pencil..... realizes that’s all I have and use...... also notices that my wallet is empty* Me: “Ahh I see......”
you know that these videos are so informative, although being boring.... however, my teacher is now much impressed with my sketches than before! thank you!
This set of videos has made me pull out paper and pencil after 25 years… I always wanted to learn how to sketch and this is the nicest way to start to learn… Thank you for this set of videos, I wanted something like this for a long time…
i used to draw a lot when i was a kid and i was amazing. i stopped because my father accidentally threw away my folder with all my drawings. now im 25 and i started again as a coping mechanism to my depression but i want to make a life out of this, just when i was a kid. im really greatful for your videos. you rock for real fo real
I've watched the first two episodes and they are very well put together. I'm a beginner and I've decided I'd like to sketch for now until I have the basics down. So far your videos have been an amazing resource
These videos are 6 years old and I’m a new subscriber because of them! I swear I’ve been so into this whole sketching and shading episodes thus far! I use to draw a bit and that was 12years ago! This served as such a great refresher!! Thank you! Can’t wait to keep watching!
Again, thanks Brandon for this series of tutorials for the beginner....I'm having a blast and learning so much from you. You are an awesome teacher and I'm completely understanding what you mean, which is usually challenging for me. Three tutorials from you and I'm drawing better than I ever have before and, having fun! Cheers
Really enjoying this series, watching a video and watching it again while practising. I have always sucked at drawing but this is really helpful thank you. Doesn't take long to start seeing improvement in my work.
That's the good side of internet. 10 years have passed yet your series is helping me paint my imagination on paper ❤ That's the one and only true beginner drawing course I've come across on internet ♡
I wish I found this a week ago, my shading has been crap and I only figured it out my angle was wrong today. Watching you shade makes it so much more obvious than other videos I've seen. I haven't quite gotten the hang of it just yet but I will. Thank you.
This videos are so wonderfully informative. As much as skill requires practice, I've already fixed a ton of techincal mistakes in my own method from this series, and it's starting to show. Wonderful tutorials!
Thank you. I'm a complete beginner and have been overwhelmed with "beginner" instruction. You have a way, soft spoken, step wise method of teaching that allows me to take details in and actually learn something. Most importantly, makes me feel like I can go on and progress, so thank you so much!
Im Preparing for an architectural course entrance exam and this has helped me so much with my drawing. Im more confident now and done shading first time ever. thankyou sooo much for your videos,May God Bless You :)
i've never been good at drawing but i took up an art class and some intrest but i was so bad and needed to get better and these videos have helped a lot
thanks for teaching me how to draw sir because when I wanted to draw my drawings didn't look good thats why i didn't like drawing but this is the best drawing tutorial series i've seen and now my drawings have been improved. Thanks for Teaching me
Man! I know this is old but I had horrible teachers in school who discouraged me from trying to be better at sketching/drawing and it's a skill I've always wanted to have. In just these three videos I've already gotten so much further. Thank you man. From the bottom of my heart.
thank you man i used to love drawing very much but in school they never taught us for real how to draw and i never learned how to do it for real but i really loved drawing and i tried and tried then gave and now i started again from fresh and thanks to your videos my art skills are better than they ever were
i started drawing realism by following this series arround 4 years ago. I cant stress enough how much it impacted my art. Came across this video and just had to comment to say THANK YOU
@@SchaeferArt I also got into drawing few days ago, and you are truly like a personal teacher. I am a young engineer, as I have become more interested in product design engineering, I really needed tutorials like this. Please make some for design engineers perspective specifically if possible. Thank you :)
Thanks for this. Am trying to get back into my drawing...it’s been decades and I quit in 8th grade...so I’m trying to go back and re-learn the basics. This really helps!
Hey! I just want to say thank you for these tutorials, these may be old but its helping a lot, Im 17 and I can only draw stickman or something worst, but I met this girl and she inspired me to draw more and this video helped me get started. Earned another life long subscriber!
The unrestricted way of teaching really help allow me to teach myself to find my way of drawing. I've been putting off learning to draw and this really pushed me since I actually see myself progress. Thanks
I am not an artist, but I really love to learn to draw. Yout videos really inspire me. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. This is so helpful!
You are the best , I always was bad at drawing so I didn't have the confidence to begin, but now I actually am learning and actually getting it.. You explained every detail briefly.. Thank you
I used to think I couldn't draw cause I would get nervous and my hands would shake and mess up the drawing but now I have finally started to loosen up and all these tutorials from you help a lot...Thanks!
Just wow. I know this is a old post, but it's very helpful. I've never been artsy. The way you break things down has really is great. Thank you so much. Only drawing I ever did that was halfway decent was when I was in a Junior High art class. My mom framed it and kept it hanging on her wall for 37 years until she passed. A flood a couple years ago destroyed that drawing. Don't know why I picked up a sketch book at the hobby store, but thank to your videos, I'm now drawing. 😊
I know that this is a pretty small detail. But one thing that I love about the artist is that he says something like: ''Let's draw a sphere, it could be anything you want.'' Instead of: ''So now we're gonna draw a sphere.'' You see what I mean? The way this artist talks gives me (and/or other people) more ''freedom'' in drawing. I've noticed that Bob Ross also does that way of talking when painting.
Thanks Schaefer. I haven't sketched since I was in high school, which was 15 years ago. I decided that Nursing was too hard on my family and me so now I'm training to be a Computer Science major with a minor in Web and Graphic Design, so it's nice to have somewhere to refresh my art training before I take college level art courses. I really appreciate it. :)
Something about this video and this comment section just gives me some peace. For once there are people who just want to learn art as it is and are willing get through the process patiently. Idk man maybe i just had a bad day but this just helped me get through the day lmao.
Thanks for your videos. Since the Covid-lockdown, I decided to try drawing. I'm taking a class. What you teach reinforces what I learned in class. New terms in my vocabulary - values, cross-hatching, =) Thanks!
I am learning from you. Have always been into shading but never found right guidance. U r are my guru now on else. Thank you for the creating this account.
I just wanted to tell you that I've had my very first success in sketching after I watched your first video. I've been wanting to be able to draw all my life but never had any successes. Thank you so very much.
Me before these videos: Look at this great self-portrait I painted! (points to lousy garbled painting) Me after seeing these first 3 videos: Look at the great ball I drew with shading and shadows! (awesome job!) Planning to spend a lot of time with pencils sketching shapes I now see in everything in the house.
@@akitoe5600 Great question; you prompted me to open my art box and get busy again! The long winter has led to a lapse in my drawing and painting. Time to get busy again!

Im Preparing for an architectural course entrance exam and this has helped me so much with my drawing. Im more confident now and done shading first time ever. thankyou sooo much for your videos,May God Bless You :)
i've never been good at drawing but i took up an art class and some intrest but i was so bad and needed to get better and these videos have helped a lot
This is me 2023. Learning from your series! Your series is just what I needed. Thank you❤
thanks for teaching me how to draw sir because when I wanted to draw my drawings didn't look good thats why i didn't like drawing but this is the best drawing tutorial series i've seen and now my drawings have been improved. Thanks for Teaching me
Man! I know this is old but I had horrible teachers in school who discouraged me from trying to be better at sketching/drawing and it's a skill I've always wanted to have. In just these three videos I've already gotten so much further. Thank you man. From the bottom of my heart.
Glad to hear 😊
thank you man i used to love drawing very much but in school they never taught us for real how to draw and i never learned how to do it for real but i really loved drawing and i tried and tried then gave and now i started again from fresh and thanks to your videos my art skills are better than they ever were
I started these videos years ago, 2017 in fact then stopped but I'm back at it again. Thanks for the quality!!!
i started drawing realism by following this series arround 4 years ago. I cant stress enough how much it impacted my art. Came across this video and just had to comment to say THANK YOU
Wow that's awesome, really glad to hear that and thanks for the comment. Hope the drawing and art is going well :) Take care!
@@SchaeferArt I also got into drawing few days ago, and you are truly like a personal teacher. I am a young engineer, as I have become more interested in product design engineering, I really needed tutorials like this. Please make some for design engineers perspective specifically if possible. Thank you :)
Thanks for this. Am trying to get back into my drawing...it’s been decades and I quit in 8th grade...so I’m trying to go back and re-learn the basics. This really helps!
i just sketched a cocktail glass hahaha i'm proud of what i've done. thank youuuuu! you're awesome :)
Hey! I just want to say thank you for these tutorials, these may be old but its helping a lot, Im 17 and I can only draw stickman or something worst, but I met this girl and she inspired me to draw more and this video helped me get started. Earned another life long subscriber!
you desserve at least 1 to 5 mill at this point at the good videos u do
Very patient and modest artist with great attitude. Thank you for the great series, I appreciate!
The unrestricted way of teaching really help allow me to teach myself to find my way of drawing. I've been putting off learning to draw and this really pushed me since I actually see myself progress. Thanks
Great to hear!
I just love you mate... You did so much detailing in art and made my art the best... I literally made a whole scenery like literally 4K
I'm in the 3rd video... i posted this to remember the day i started to learn drawing 😊
I love how this guy shares his best ideologies & his Works with us while he teaching us how to draw it... Pure love 😍
Just doing my best :) Thanks for the kind words
By this video i am totally sold......i have gone out and ordered some art supplies here i go to art school.
I am not an artist, but I really love to learn to draw. Yout videos really inspire me. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. This is so helpful!
You're a humble guy. Thanks for these videos
You are the best , I always was bad at drawing so I didn't have the confidence to begin, but now I actually am learning and actually getting it.. You explained every detail briefly.. Thank you
You can do it!
2018 and your really helping with my art, dude you rock.
Sounds awesome 😎
I used to think I couldn't draw cause I would get nervous and my hands would shake and mess up the drawing but now I have finally started to loosen up and all these tutorials from you help a lot...Thanks!
Thank you so much for these videos! I'm trying to recover years that I lost because I stopped drawing. It's like starting from scratch.
Ana Luiza me too. hope we can still keep up. mine is after 30 yrs. LOL
Dude i love your hands, your hands are the most beautiful natural painting ive ever seen :)
"Most things aren't ever completely white..."... that's true on a practical as well as on a philosophical level!!!!
Never have I ever been told such useful tips of art, I am starting get the hang of this
Glad it was helpful!
I absolutely suck at shading. I can do absolutely anything, except shade. Hopefully your tips can help! Good video(:
Lucky I can't draw or shade XD
Thank you for making these videos. We can still learn from them years after you posted them.
"rub it out" "some people use a tissue"
woah. good thing nobody else heard that.
Lmao, are you thinking what i'm thinking?
+XD
Ausar0 ohno
He's just trying to help 😒
Hahahaha
I really like how u make us observe the beauty of details.. fundamentals.. texture.. feel.. of a tool and style.. it's hardest to teach and inculcate!
Glad to hear :)
The dots are a living hell, and if they’re not done right sometimes they end up adding nothing to your picture and then you end up wasting your time.
Well said haha
Just wow. I know this is a old post, but it's very helpful. I've never been artsy. The way you break things down has really is great. Thank you so much. Only drawing I ever did that was halfway decent was when I was in a Junior High art class. My mom framed it and kept it hanging on her wall for 37 years until she passed. A flood a couple years ago destroyed that drawing. Don't know why I picked up a sketch book at the hobby store, but thank to your videos, I'm now drawing. 😊
Thank you for producing and making these videos available!
I know that this is a pretty small detail. But one thing that I love about the artist is that he says something like: ''Let's draw a sphere, it could be anything you want.'' Instead of: ''So now we're gonna draw a sphere.'' You see what I mean? The way this artist talks gives me (and/or other people) more ''freedom'' in drawing. I've noticed that Bob Ross also does that way of talking when painting.
Thank you!! You're BETTER than my art teacher!
My Art Teacher Watcher This And He Is Bad At Art Somehow xD
After watching so many tutorials, gotta say that this is the best one so far, thank you...
Happy to hear that!
Excellent video! And you really seem as such a nice guy!
Thanks Schaefer. I haven't sketched since I was in high school, which was 15 years ago. I decided that Nursing was too hard on my family and me so now I'm training to be a Computer Science major with a minor in Web and Graphic Design, so it's nice to have somewhere to refresh my art training before I take college level art courses. I really appreciate it. :)
When he moves the paper I feel like I'm watching a sample through microscope
Lol yes so much
Like a specimen somewhat, right? #Relatable
Lol😂
Something about this video and this comment section just gives me some peace. For once there are people who just want to learn art as it is and are willing get through the process patiently. Idk man maybe i just had a bad day but this just helped me get through the day lmao.
I like how I don’t actually draw it but just watch for entertainment
I dig it! Thanks for watching.
maby while watching you can draw the stuff to.
These videos are amazing! I was nervous to start drawing again after a few years. These are bringing back everything like it was yesterday
I'm so glad!
Each video: **has less and less views**
Me: 👁👄👁 **sips tea** _let's just hope I'm not next_
*Same. Same with blender tutorial of blender guru.
Thanks for your videos. Since the Covid-lockdown, I decided to try drawing. I'm taking a class. What you teach reinforces what I learned in class. New terms in my vocabulary - values, cross-hatching, =) Thanks!
"when I was younger I would rub it out... Some would use a tissue" please tell me I'm not the only one that heard it 🤣
Don't forget to rub it in as well...
XD
This is really good. My 11 year old kid is using these tutorials to help his skills
Thank you so much for tips I am downing way better at drawing I'll try and try you opened my drawing mind thank you so much 🙂👍🏻
I am learning from you. Have always been into shading but never found right guidance. U r are my guru now on else. Thank you for the creating this account.
The thing i learned in these 3 lessons I learn to draw cicle😂😂😂
Better than nothing 😊
@@SchaeferArt Thanks for answering, its really made me happy
Hooo
@@sviestassviestuotas5081 now you love your life
I just wanted to tell you that I've had my very first success in sketching after I watched your first video. I've been wanting to be able to draw all my life but never had any successes. Thank you so very much.
That is awesome!
Me before these videos: Look at this great self-portrait I painted! (points to lousy garbled painting)
Me after seeing these first 3 videos: Look at the great ball I drew with shading and shadows! (awesome job!)
Planning to spend a lot of time with pencils sketching shapes I now see in everything in the house.
How is drawing going now
@@akitoe5600 Great question; you prompted me to open my art box and get busy again! The long winter has led to a lapse in my drawing and painting. Time to get busy again!
@@barbarasylvain5060 nice I hope you keep on practicing and improving and most importantly have some fun
It's crazy how I can already shade pretty well but still find your videos educating. Thank you
