This is absolutely stunning, I started it this afternoon and it is such an exciting one to do especially with all the videos to accompany it. You have such a wonderful community on patreon, some of them very talented in mixed media and it is inspirational for the rest of us to see the work they are producing. It is so friendly and everyone is so supportive and encouraging of each other. The true inspiration is you though, you never disappoint whatever you set us to do and I’m so glad to have the opportunity to learn from you 👍
Aw Margaret, that's so kind, I think we all inspire each other, I'm humbled to be a part of such a nice community of people, its you wonderful people that are the ones that are making happen 👍
A soft spoken voice, that is a pleasure to listen to, unintrusive music, methodical presentation, entertaining conversational style - well done!
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say.
Absolutely fabulous! You've brought me back to graphite drawing which I used to do a lot as a teenager, I'm now 72! You are so encouraging which is so kind. Thank you. Best wishes Geraldine.
Thank you Geraldine, that's great to hear you're starting to draw again, I wish you all the best, Happy Drawing!
I would like to see somebody’s version of this without blending. It would be interesting to see what techniques they use to do all the different textures. 🤔
This is wonderful, thank you!
The one thing I am learning from watching you work is Patience, Patience, Patience!!!! I quite often try to take "shortcuts", go too fast and in general, just don't exercise PATIENCE. I don't save time as many things I draw take hours equal to your time spent. Not to say I am close to your level of expertise, but when I finish "fixing" my shortcuts, etc., and am satisfied, I have spent equal time to your excellent results.
I used to be in the "do not blend" group but I've found it to be very useful now. Sometimes, I feel that a drawing I've done doesn't need blending at all while others greatly benefit from it. I think it all just depends on what you want your finished piece to look like. Thanks for the excellent tutorial!
Thanks for taking the time to comment Christy, I agree some drawings or areas in drawings don't really need to be blended, but it sure is useful and produces some lovely effect when it it used,
Oh my goodness! This is absolutely amazing, thank you for this video, it really helped me gain some inspiration and help with my one point perspective drawing!
Absolutely gorgeous. I could listen to your voice for hours! Unfortunately at the moment I live in the middle of nowhere and have to rely on just a few precious minutes viewing on my smartphone but shortly I shall be back in the land of the living and will subscribe to your Patreon site. Many thanks for your wonderful tutorials.
Thanks Angela, kind of you to say, I look forward to seeing you on pareon when you get back to the land of the living :)
This is yet another drawing but a master artist. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I honestly think your drawing is better than the picture you were using as a reference. I will be joining you soon.
Hi Suzanne, Wow, that's a big compliment, thank you, I look forward to seeing on Patreon soon👍
Thank you brother for the helpful information, i started drawing around 8 months ago and I enjoy portrait drawings and using a blending stump helps marvelous! Thank you for the helpful video for us to watch! :)
I used a blending tool for the first time only the other day, they are wonderful!! I can't believed I've never used one before, it gave such a wonderful soft finish I couldn't believe it!!
Glad you like them!
I have to say you've got a very comfortable voice to listen to 👍
Thank you :)
I love your work. Your tips have helped me a bunch. I follow some of the same folks you do. I’ve asked questions to a bunch of other artists on YT and found a bunch of snobs. I do mostly color pencils these days. I use Holbein color pencils. I also have polychromous and prisma color. And scolded for Holbein use. And blending! I think blending is a must. Where would Bob Ross be without his dry blending brush? Your channel is my favorite on the net! Always informative and I could listen to you all day!
Beautiful drawing! I use the blending tool constantly. I can't imagine drawing without one.
I'm 56, and when I was young my art teachers would not allow me to blend. They told me that I could achieve the same effect with my pencil. Now that I am back to art after years of doing other things I am learning to blend and I am loving the results.
Mines a similar story William, good for you that you decided to start blending!
Another great drawing and I've learned a lot from you so thank you. Regarding blending etc. firstly, I cannot for the life of me think what is wrong with it and secondly, whatever technique is used in producing art, if the art brings happiness and inspires people then it was the perfect technique!
Thanks Andrew, I totally agree, couldn't of said it better myself.
Your drawing always comes out better than the picture! Lol
I don't know about that, but its certainly kind of you to say, thank you.
The result is fantastic John well done. The 'Governor ' is back! Brilliant.
"The Governor" lol, i don't know about that, but anyway, thanks for the kind words as always, much appreciated.
Thanks for this video Smoothie. I like drawing buildings and architecture in general and your derail is what I was missing in my drawings. Great job!
Thank John, I appreciate your comment.
Very beautiful and quality deep work I can understand it takes lot of time and patience 🙏
excellent drawing! thanks for sharing!
another one that looks better than the original.
i am a YES for blending.
blending works beautifully for you and i am using it as well.
Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Izak, you're very welcome.
Thanks to you Mr Smoothie, all my admiration of your knowledge and thank you for sharing to all of us !
You're very welcome Astrid 👍
What an exquisite piece of work!
This is amazing, and your voice makes it even better.
Thank you Silvia, that's very kind of you to say, I appreciate it very much.
Amazing masters work of art, the drawing even looks better than the picture, great job.
Wow thanks Josue, that's very kind comment, I appreciate it.
Very nice to watch ;I just started with graphite;very helpful
Thanks Paul
So marvellous drawing !!! Every detail of it is absolutely amazing!
Thank you Astrid, I'm pleased you like it, I appreciated the kind comment😊
🙋🏻♀️Welcome back 👩🏻💻Love to watch you shade and blend ✍🏻
☺Thanks, your comments always put a smile on my face😁
This is just amazing Jon! As a coincidance I will be uploading something simular next friday ^^ (but in colot)
You did an excellent job my friend!!!
Thanks Lineke, I look forward to seeing what you do, it should be good in colour👍
This was a very nice drawing lesson you showed us smoothie77, thank you. :D
You're welcome . I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for answering so quickly.
Thank -You! It’s going to be fun!
Glad to see a new video up. i enjoy seeing your work.
Thank you, hopefully there will be more videos very soon.
just discovered your channel, love it so much!
Hi, and welcome! I'm pleased you like the channel :)
Stunning
So beautiful! I really like it! :) I like the genre itself, I was taught this kind of architecture drawings in high school, in Italy, and we could blend and use grids for accurate drawing, same way as you do :) I have no idea why some people say we shouldn't blend graphite, and also I really dislike cross hatching in drawings that are supposed to look realistic, they seem unfinished and look more like rough sketches.
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad to here you are in favour of blending, and why not...it produces the best results in my opinion.
Yeah, cross-hatching was developed for printing with ink and while I do happen to love cross-hatching I will tend to blend when I'm working with a blendable medium. So I have to say that it is a technique which works for a specific medium (ink) and which doesn't look so great in pencil.
Thanks, that's a good answer.
another beauty Smoothie......amazing work
Thanks Ed, that's very kind of you to say.
Your drawing skills is magnificent CAN you do another one
Thank you, there's plenty more on my youtube channel here,s the link, ua-cam.com/channels/mFD5CqShz-qI5xV0_JWV7w.html
Another excellent video mate, your work is phenomenal. I have never heard of that before mate about people not agreeing with blending, why on earth would that be classed as a bad idea? I’d actually love know why it is frowned upon.
Thanks Harry, kind of you to say, I appreciate it! I too have no idea why blending is classed as a bad thing, still waiting for someone to comment and enlighten me?
What kind of blander was that of black colour? I have never seen such a blender before and it seems such an amazing tool.
I don't think it's wrong to blend, but I do think that you should learn how to shade without blending as well. Blending is great for really smooth and gradual shading, but if you want to maintain a crisp texture while the tone transitions from dark to light, or light to dark, then you should take the time to learn how to shade without blending.
Fair point, thanks for the comment Dawnna👍
Beautiful work.
Thanks Marjorie, much appreciated.
Love your work, best of luck
I hope you don’t mind me asking but which pencil was it that you sharpened every 5 min and how do you sharpen it many thanks and a fantastic piece ❤
Amazing as usual
Thanks, much appreciated👍
I was so happy to find your new tutorial today cause I haven't heard from you for a long time. Excellent drawing ...much better than reference picture. Real pleasure to see you work on this one. You are our master. Take care :)
Thanks Jerzy, its been a while i agree, hopefully i will get more videos up this month, I've been busy with Patreon and other things, but should be more regular with the videos now...
Hello...Was the grid that you use made separate from the pictures that you use...I've never made or used one before...This is why I am asking...
Nice job.
Thanks Matthew.
smoothie77 thanks for your response and I like your style and follow most of your work.
It would be nice to meet you in person like so many others just to shake the hand of a real artist.
Thanks.
Great tutorial looked for your channel but can’t find it!
Hi Glin, here's the link to my patreon channel, www.patreon.com/smoothie77
Smoothie is your media gridded at the manfacturer or do you do it? And with what grade lead if you do it?
Thank you
I like your voice very much😳I always refer to the picture.
Thanks, I don't know why, but that's kind of you to say☺
Can you pls tell me why do u have those grind lines while your drawing? im still a beginner at drawing . but im striving to become a architect . even tho i knew i suck at drawings . but i really like to draw.
Nice !
Thanks!
Thanks
Always good :)
Thanks Nil! :)
Hi Smoothie another beautiful video! :) Artistic license allows us to be free with any tools.
Thanks Agui, I totally agree!
Another good demo! Thanks! Keep ˋem comińˋ!! B
Thanks and much appreciated, more on the way...
What is the black blending tool you use and how is it different to a paper tortillion
Its a Derwent paper blender, the tortillion is made from hard cardboard, better for smaller areas, the Derwent is softer and gives a smoother finish.
💚💚💚
do you use a fixative?
I used to blend and smudge my drawings, but then I wanted to start trying to make a similar effect by just drawing instead of changing the pencil marks
Wow, I have encountered a few -art snobs- purists but never knew there were those who think blending is wrong 🤔 Just ridiculous! Every medium is blended at some stage. There are no rules in art. I would imagine their reasoning being only wet media should be blended or something akin to that 🙄 Anyway, nice work! 🙂
Lol nicely crossed out Kyomii, Yes its hard to believe that some artist don't agree with blending, maybe your thinking about wet media is true, I hope someone can shed some light on this...
smoothie77 I hope they can too, because I can’t think of any genuine reason why graphite shouldn’t be blended, -unless there’s a strange cult out there who rule blending is an unlawful activity- and graphite powder is made for blending! Have you tried the blackwing 602 pencils? If not, please do, they are fantastic to work with, only half the pressure required, and they blend like an absolute dream 😉
Hahaha, I love your comments 👍 I haven't tried the 602 yet, its on my bucket list though...
You sounds like bob ross💕
I don't understand how someone can say "don't use blending tools" or "Fie! Blend NOT!" How are we to achieve gradual gradations and fading effects, or get the ephemeral look of wispy clouds? Hmmmm... 🤔
Jon i have started to wonder, what do you as your actual job that you can so many art supplies 😀🤦♀️...
If you can't use blenders with graphite then you maybe shouldn't be allowed to use a paintbrush with watercolour or oils etc. Personally I don't like using blenders, don't like the results I get with them, but a rule against them is ridiculous, I draw for pleasure, it's like telling me I can't shouldn't use a slice backhand when I play tennis, or that I shouldn't add a drop of water to my scotch.
Help, I would like to become a patron, but all my tries failed. it always says that I did not pass the test, but I am real!!!
Hi Cristina, sorry for the late reply, I have seen you have now managed to get on to patreon, thank you so much for becoming a member, if you need anymore help just let me know :)
I am now a Patreon! Looking to this one! Will let you know!
Hi Sherrie and welcome , thank you for joining us, I look forward to seeing☺ you over on Patreon ☺👍
i want to use grid method but it wont go straight XD
One thing I don't understand is; what's the point of just copying a photo?
In my case, I really enjoy doing it, it also helps to improve drawing skills,
@@smoothie77drawingpainting I know the question sounds snotty, but I am legit curious. If you don't make any artistic changes or draw "fiction", then I fails to see the point. But of course, it's allowed to do it for enjoyment.
PLZ don’t skip
