Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned artist, maintaining motivation is crucial for growth and improvement. From setting achievable goals to finding inspiration from other artists, we will cover practical tips to help you stay on track and continue pursuing your passion for art.

    Drawing is a skill that most people wish they could do but they immediately put themselves in the category of "Oh, I could never do that." I want to take this time and welcome you to my channel: Draw Sessions.
    I've been drawing all my life and have had the privilege of working both for AAA game studios and also movies. I have taught foundation drawing at the University of Cincinnati and it's time now to give back. I understand the frustrations of learning art in general but specifically, drawing. My channel is dedicated in helping absolute beginners, intermediate artists, and industry veterans - all wanting to improve their drawing skills. Please like, subscribe, hit the notification bell and comment below if you're finding this channel helpful in your journey of becoming an artist.

    listening to you was exactly what i needed... whenever i click on your videos i have this sudden urge to just get my sketchbook out on the desk and start drawing along with you. I feel so grateful to have found your channel, just wanted to let you know that.

    No matter how hard I try, I still cant seem to just start. I went from an avid artist to nothing and the years passed by. No idea how to knock the rust off despite therapy, exercise, books, pills ect. its been the hardest hurdle in my life.

      Start simple. One circle a day, then go up from that. Start with a line, you can think of the rest later on.

      I agree giving up - even if just temporarily - is also an option, and to be honest, sometimes it can be the better option. I think you may just be burned out right now, which doesn't mean anything is wrong with you; it's happened to tons of people pursuing all sorts of hobbies and careers. Some people do come back to hobbies they let go for that reason, later on.

      "A drawing a day, keep the blank page away."
      Even when it's ugly, small and dirty, at least it is a little something.
      Don't give up, make it funny and keep on smiling !

    Some easy reference for just practice are figure poses and fashion magazines. I also always have my phone at the ready when taking photos for anything that catch my eye during the day. Usually patterns on objects, plants and clouds.

    Hey Bobby congrats! I have a question, why you not smudge with your finger?
    I also bought a moleskine and it’s beautiful, ty for your work and everything

    • @bobbyrebholz2183
      @bobbyrebholz2183  6 місяців тому

      You're very welcome. I don't smudge my work because the oils from your skin instantly screw up the graphite. In my opinion, smudging is what you do when you haven't learned proper shading techniques. Smudging offers absolutely no texture.
