Yeah, I've heard of The Rule of Thirds before but didn't really understand it. After this lesson, I'm finding that I'm looking for the thirds in whatever piece of artwork that I like. Your lessons make sense to me Brandon and I hope you realize how much joy you are bringing to those of us who are not natural artists. God bless Brandon
It feels illegal to not have to pay to learn this knowledge from you. Even years later after you created these videos they are still great, and you make it fun and I notice you push us to have our own creativity and don't be scared to break the rules. Immaculate job.
Brandon, I have tried to sketch for years. I love your approach. It has made me realise what sketching actually means. I love how you are using basically rubbish drawings to show us the principles. There is nothing negative in this statement. Your approach encourages us to master the basics without being intimated with the master, if this makes sense to you. Thank you for helping me to have the confidence to be able to sketch.
My first artistic thing is photography, so I use these things all the time, BUT I am really enjoying your videos as I have recently found a love for sketching. Thanks Brandon
Thank you so much for these tutorials! I'm 57 and finally ready to embrace my artistic side. Art was something that was not appreciated or encouraged while I was growing up. I have done photography for the last 10 years. It was and is a huge part of my therapy. Sometimes a picture can convey feelings so much more than words. I have wanted to learn about drawing for so long but it felt so overwhelming trying to learn it on my own.
I’ve been looking at videos online about how to start drawing, your tutorials are the best I’ve found for someone as new to drawing as I am. The fundamental techniques that you’re showing, I’m putting them into practice and really enjoying it. Thank you so much. I’m going to draw something in one point perspective using the rule of thirds. 🤗
Thank you so much. I’m learning so much from you. I’m retired and have never done any art until recently. I’m starting to draw and paint with watercolor. You make it seem possible and fun!
The most comprehensive and beginner friendly video that I have found. I am so glad. And you don't bore at all instead if someone really wanna learn they would love you. Thank you!
These videos are so wonderful and very empowering. I love how you encourage your viewers to just go for it and not try to be a perfectionist about art. A good general life lesson, actually! Thank you so much for sharing these with the world! 🤗
This has really helped me. I haveI started to draw and paint recently, just practise sketches and elements of a composition I have in mind and now feel I can start my first painting. Thank you.
I’m so loving your videos. I’m hoping to get to one that shows how to paint the drawing...including shaded areas. I would love to share a drawing with you that your teachings help inspire. If there’s a way please share. Thanks again.
I’m just starting again after being some what an ok sketcher of all different things really from cartoons to animals, just at a moderate level but I put my pencils away and never went back, 7 years later (as it was 7 years ago I packed up) I’m seeing your lessons for the 1st time and have gotten from 1 to to 7 and I had to drop you a comment on how relaxed I am with learning things again with you, I’ll admit i knew a few things already but to learn in such a relaxed way again with no pressure of being a (VVG 🌸) it’s just a breath of fresh air and I love you love this that much that your knowledge and wisdom was just passed on for nonprofits, that’s what’s most inspiring especially in the money mad world we live in when advice ain’t even free no more, so ye thanks mate, I’ve found my flow again and I’ve only just started to watch you all today but it’s been a blast, I’ll be on your page for a good while now I think, thanks dude your awesome 👊🏻
Hello. I'm really learning a lot. You break down concepts in completely simple and understandable way that beginners could easily grasp on. I've read and watched these concepts but never really understood 'till now. Currently binge watching your videos. Thanks a lot and please make more. Getting inspired again! 😁
Hey .. I'm a beginner..I was never really gr8 at art...but I've started taking interest in sketching.. I'm glad I found your channel.you teach pretty well😃😃
Hello, I was about to give up learning to draw; I am saying here, giving up learning to draw , not Drawing| if one cannot learn, how Drawing can be possible! Until today:….after some hours watching your tutoring drawing videos. I am so happy to feel that I really can draw! You are a true artist, a great teacher and , I think, a nice person. Thank you .
Hello I am Vanessa A. And I just wanted to tell you that you are the best and most amazing teacher I have ever had just like one other teacher I have had. Thanks to your lessons I can draw very very very well
thank you for your videos. i am 78 and just retired, you have given me the inspiration to try my hand at pencil sketching and have already started making balls and squares with my pencils. at first it was challenging but now i can see some progress.time flys when i do it but i have nothing but time. THANK YOU
Another piece of gold. I have Leonardo's notebook's (A copy of course) and seeing the composition and rule of thirds was impressive to say the least. Thank you for helping me see.
i love how you break it and make it as simple as possible to understand.... I am studying graphic design and i watch your videos because they make me feel that it is easier to learn that way without panicking lol😂
You know when I started this series 7 months ago everything looks overwhelming, and just by listening I now understand them more clearly. Wish I came to this in 2021 when I had much more time on my hands one of my biggest issues is that when I've drawn it once I think I already know everything 😅
As someone who is a photographer and is learning how to do stuff in relation to CGI, it surprisingly never occurred to me that the rule of thirds could be used when drawing. I mean I should've found it obvious but only now has the penny dropped.
I like your videos ! you are awesome ! you made drawing easy and interesting to learn, exprecially for beginners . I'm a industrial designer in toys,I need to keep practicing my sketching skill .Thanks Brandon
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I feel that that Im not doing the sharpening of my pencils in the right way. It adversely affects my shading. Can you please give us some tips on sharpening the pencils?
I was trying to draw a dish towel lying on my table. I got so confused I felt like crying. I couldn't make it "lie down" on the "table"😂😂😂Can you figure out how to help me? It was about perspective I suppose, but I couldn't figure out vanishing points or any way to really see it. Thank you so much!
When perspective gets confusing in a still life, you can make a proportion divider to help. This lets you accurately mark where objects, folds, shadows, etc. are in the composition. (The DrawMixPaint channel has a few videos on this.)
I was just wondering, is the The Golden Mean or Golden Ratio or Fibonacci’s Ratio or whatever it's called (the spiral thingy) "better" than The Rule of Thirds? Or is that just personal preference?
I'm trying to learn to draw because I love tattooing but I can't bring things outta my mind onto paper but I use stencils when I tattoo and thats totally different than actually drawing.. I want to get an apprenticeship and I'm watching everyone of your videos
When he said the eyes are one the third Me: looks at every person I see on my tablet Music: *starts playing* in my head do do doo do do doo do do doo doo do

I’m turning 44 this year. After raising 3 children, I’m about to pick up a pencil again for the first time since childhood. You really motivate me!
That is awesome!
Same here
49, and here we go! Btw. I can’t draw a straight line, or a crooked one for that matter, so wish me luck
He said at 7:14 look at artists who inspire you and then I said dood; you are an artist that inspires me
Haha much appreciated! :)
Same here 😄
i swaer same here xd
Yes you inspire me sir
I had never heard of this Rule of Thirds. It makes so much sense. You're an amazing teacher. Thanks!
Yeah, I've heard of The Rule of Thirds before but didn't really understand it. After this lesson, I'm finding that I'm looking for the thirds in whatever piece of artwork that I like. Your lessons make sense to me Brandon and I hope you realize how much joy you are bringing to those of us who are not natural artists. God bless Brandon
Natural artists aren’t really a thing. You need practise to get good. I hope you’ve gotten amazing after four years.
Yeah I learned the rule in geography when studying map work, background, middle forground..
It feels illegal to not have to pay to learn this knowledge from you.

Thanks Brandon! Teaching special needs students from home, I've been using your art "class" to go over some basics. I really want to thank you!!!!

I like how you don’t expect us to be amazing and understand everything and you make it ok if you aren’t so good at it at first!
Thanks so much for sharing. These are best tutorials on drawing I have found on YT so far :) Simply clear short and cool. Bless you.

Hello! I am Thai. Thank you for your teaching. I can draw very well.
👍👍 Rule of Thirds so important in Photography. You’ve explained it so well. Wish I’d had an art teacher like you.
I really like your vids, the explanations are very clear and understandable! Your videos helps me to improve my drawings much more!
You know when I started this series 7 months ago everything looks overwhelming, and just by listening I now understand them more clearly. Wish I came to this in 2021 when I had much more time on my hands
one of my biggest issues is that when I've drawn it once I think I already know everything 😅
Thanks a lot for this video in basic sketching,shading,outlining,carving and smoothing wherein i utilized in my k-to-12 lesson in TLE 6.
Glad to hear 😊
i didn't know that there is something called THE RULE OF THIRDS thank you for sharing this information
Isn't it amazing that the comment section is still active after all these years?
Thank you for your helpful insights ! This starts my day .
I pick up ideas from each of your lessons. Thank you.
Thankyou for these amazing videos!!♥️♥️ Just started watching them and i was wondering how long it took me to find them.
Glad you like them!

(3 years ago) lmfaoo
@@xavier4565 are you really a turtle though?
Ya you got a problem?
@@xavier4565 No sorry, my bad :(
Just a turtle with internet access Home is literally where your heart is for you! LOL
THIS, fellow viewers, is an extremely skilled artist.
Thank you sir
@@SchaeferArt Your art is amazing. I have followed a few episodes of your tutorials and have gotten significantly better in drawing.
You are a wonderful teacher!
As someone who is a photographer and is learning how to do stuff in relation to CGI, it surprisingly never occurred to me that the rule of thirds could be used when drawing. I mean I should've found it obvious but only now has the penny dropped.
Hey Brandon please continue making these videos man.
ive been drawing but I always been not that good at the basics but then you helped me get started
legend... this man is the legend who is making another legend (me)
epic bro
thanks for this video. Thinking about making my own version of this for my subscribers
I like your videos ! you are awesome ! you made drawing easy and interesting to learn, exprecially for beginners . I'm a industrial designer in toys,I need to keep practicing my sketching skill .Thanks Brandon
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I feel that that Im not doing the sharpening of my pencils in the right way. It adversely affects my shading. Can you please give us some tips on sharpening the pencils?
Just keep them sharp :)
You are great explaining.
wow...never knew this. Thank you so much. Even tho this was uploaded 7 years ago, its still very helpful and useful
I was trying to draw a dish towel lying on my table. I got so confused I felt like crying. I couldn't make it "lie down" on the "table"😂😂😂Can you figure out how to help me? It was about perspective I suppose, but I couldn't figure out vanishing points or any way to really see it. Thank you so much!
Shading and detail always help it look like its lying down
It's the light that makes everything realistic. Light makes shadow, shadow makes light.
When perspective gets confusing in a still life, you can make a proportion divider to help. This lets you accurately mark where objects, folds, shadows, etc. are in the composition. (The DrawMixPaint channel has a few videos on this.)
Thanks again for a tip I can understand.
i hope i can buy stuffs like u have :( i really idolize you ur a great artist. thank u for these knowledge.
Excellent lessons bro, thanks so much

When he said the eyes are one the third
Me: looks at every person I see on my tablet
Music: *starts playing* in my head do do doo do do doo do do doo doo do
Is the point of interest always "in effect" like the horizon line? Or is it optional in a sketch of cartoon or anime characters?
Thank you ❤️
Thank you again!!
You are awesome....
