The MOST IMPORTANT Drawing Skill You Can Learn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- It's easy for your mind to play tricks on you when drawing. We know what colour and shape certain things should be and that can often influence decisions when drawing. Challenging yourself to see past this and draw what you see if a huge skill if you can master it.

This is such a fun application of a principle you learn in psychology when you study cognition of perception. The brain has to kind of calculate averages and strike balances with sensory input, all unconsciously, so the information stream stays constant and is useful; and things that are different enough to need attention and action for survival pop out. You know how you can be sitting peacefully in a darkening room at sunset, and the red chair mentally stays "red" long after it's not red any more. This color training teaches you first just to recognize what your brain is doing, for your benefit really, and then how to override it for art's sake. This video is so clear and good: I wish I had it when I was still teaching these things to give my students. But now I'm retired, I play with my colored pencils instead. ✨🤗✨
Thank you Gemma. Pastel and oil painting is done from dark to light. Your method really works. You inspire me to paint.
Been watching secretly, now i got to comment, thats a lovely painting, i even thought of biting my phone screen!!
It takes time to develop the observational skills to draw what you see and you’ve definitely proven that! Excellent work! It’s also another skill to be able to divert and unmarry yourself from the reference image and do something new or different with the details. I prefer the latter for my own art but I still appreciate what you do!
This is an interesting question. The stock of visual stimuli over a lifetime as laid down in memory is what you have available to literally
assemble you innovative images from. So it's all "real" in the broadest sense. I think I'd have to say the greater your awareness of the visually "real" (humanly real, but that's a whole other universe of discussion😄) the richer your potential for diversion. Not a paradox! You can't draw what you can't imagine, and you can only assemble imagined images from bits of experience in memory. Honest. Gemma is a sterling example of the rigor that can give you the greatest freedom. To know you have both paths open to you is to be rich indeed.✨
i love this viedeo, you have explain perfectly how observe an reference e see what it's "hide" in there THANK YOU SO MUCH you are the best!!
I'm glad I've found your channel, your videos are entertaining and interesting, as well as very helpful. Thank you.

Lovely work. much appreciated. As far as being observant, that is actually a strawberry on the top (4:30). Beautiful work. Highly admired.
how many hrs does it take for you to complete a drawing with colored pencils?
I always wanted to draw well but never got the hang of it but i am a writer some of my characters artists i find it so fascinating
Wow, magnifique!💕
I admire your skills. I have been using colored pencils more, yet I do watercolor light washes for base colors and it seems to make my illustrations less time-consuming. Any comments regarding this method?
Hello Gemma can you please tell me that how to get values in color . What do you think when you color and how you balance your values and the last how do you judge the color is of correct value
Please do reply
Can you give me some tips on graphite drawings
I do follow all the tips you have given but do you have some other or extra tip
