This channel always delivers such good guidance for people new to art! Not many instructors place such emphasis on continuous line drawing (maybe because it's challenging to teach), but it's an incredibly effective way to break through hesitancy and just get on with the act of sketching! It's a great way to start with the big, general issues in the drawing and work toward detail in an efficient, information-dense approach.
Not being accurate is exactly what I needed to hear as I get frustrated with proportions and caught up in unnecessary details, so thanks. My heart leaped when I heard Marcus' name. Way back in my years in Paris, I used to work with him at a photographers agency. I'm so happy he's part of that project and soooo frustrated I won't be able to attend😢
Didn't look great at first, but then it really came together in the end! I love and envy your minimal use of color. I try to apply it to my sketches as well, but it doesn't come naturally. I'm sure I would have colored more and more areas, and would not have achieved the minimalistic and simply results that you did. I hope to get better at that. Great video!
@@KoosjeKoene hello again sweetie. It is the Ink that I am asking about that goes in the pen. Do you use cartridges or ink out of a bottle? Thank you xx I promise I will stop asking questions after this HA! Xxxxxxxx
@@brendadavies3942 sorry, I get so many questions and I misread. Twice. 😬 I use a converter in my fountain pen, with a bottle of Platinum carbon black ink. Whew, I hope it’s all cleared up now!

I'm so glad the video helped! And how fun you actually know Marcus! I wish you could join.

If you have a sense of where you want your focus to be in your drawing, that can help to decide (and minimise) on color.
Oh what a treat that would be. And loved the drawing ❤
i really like using google view to draw places i will never visit, at least i can see and draw some of the great scenes😀
I love it too!
I purchased your book, and it has inspired me more than anything. I take it everywhere with me!
