I have been drawing with graphite pencil for the last 75 years but have neglected it a bit of late. You have inspired me to get back into sketching and drawing. Keep up the good work. Been following you for a long time.
Dennis Clark Art School great
An Australian professional athlete, a gold Olympic winner, said to me once: 'The difference between an amateur sportsperson and a professional is that the amateur practices until s/he can get it right, a professional practices until s/he cannot get it wrong'. Very inspirational Andrew, as always, thanks for sharing your knowledge, it is very generous of you.
I like that... It helps me to realize I am still an amateur :) Thank you
Audrey Smocovich nice thought
Nice thoughts...thanks
Audrey Smocovich, wrong statement. While practicing an amateur has constant thoughts in his/her mind about how to earn money when today´s workout is over. A professional thinks about practicing while practicing.
Hi Andrew , I so wish during my school years that I had a art teacher like you . Your art is exceptional and also your teaching skills . Thank you for sharing your work and your knowledge 🙏🏻
Gary Peerless great comment, I agree!
I agree.
Yes, it seemed that back in the day that most teachers thought that teaching art was to be a critic, and beyond that they didn't have much to offer.
Andrew I can't thank you enough sir... I've just finished my first landscape following your process and man is there a difference between this painting and my previous work.... You are the best!!
I have been so lazy with myself through the years. So much time wasted and not invested in my art. This video just spoke tenderly and yet with a powerful blow. No more time for us to waste. Such wonderful sketches and techniques. You are a true gift to all of us who have found you!
What a great guy!....
Not only is he a fantastic artist,but a great friend!....
I’m not sure I should say this on his channel but lol I am anyway......
I have messaged him many many times and he has gone out of his way to help me understand my art I can not say enough what a friend he is!
God bless my dude!
I too am just starting my endeavor into sketching. I'm retired and am developing an interest in watercolor painting. After my initial efforts. it became apparent that drawing or sketching was a fundamental component of the foundation for developiong my proficiency in watercolor painting. Your Sketchendeavbour Week 1 is right on - many thanks for blazing the trail and lighting the way for my path forward. I'm looking forward to the weeks ahead. Best Regards, Frederick
I have just discovered your channel, and I had to pause this riveting video around the 20 minute mark to somehow write down everything I'd like to say.
Firstly, I would like to thank you for sharing the creative challenges that you, not only as an artist but as a growing individual, face - it is so easy to look at the incredible, seemingly perfected landscapes you paint and believe that this is the result of years of evolution towards your infallible technique and process. But to see that even as a seasoned professional in your given field, you have chosen to nudge your boundaries and scope of practice beyond where you feel comfortable, is in itself more encouraging and inspiring than you might know.
I am also greatly warmed by your high opinions and memories of your father and the strong values he instilled within you as a child that you hold so dear, even in your work today. His story of wanting to become a veterinarian and then delving into art is actually rather familiar to me (though the reverse situation in my case) and for that reason I am compelled to express how your father's interconnection between scientific principles and art (as many great artists have used) has motivated me further.
I have always, growing up, considered myself to have an aptitude for artistic thinking: creative writing, music, drawing and painting. However I would challenge myself to attempt to think more scientifically - including subjects I took in school - and actually ended up, though I had a goal to become a veterinarian, becoming a veterinary nurse just this last year. In a parallel manner to the way in which your father would learn anatomy for artistic benifit, I am going to try to further my knowledge in this heavily scientific field with a medium I have always loved: art. I did not work as hard in university as I could have as my motivations were elsewhere, but you have helped renew within me an excitement for not only animals, which of course I adore else I would not be in this profession, but for something that I was always less comfortable with - science.
Thank you for reading this sludgy, wordy mess if you have, and I hope you are continuing to share your innermost thoughts with the world!
And now a little further into the video I already have something more to comment on, lol.
That feeling of the challenge you've taken on "taunting" you, in your case sketching and in my case excelling in my profession, is indeed a product of not wanting to face our inner faults as perfectly imperfect human beings! It has been something I am tackling daily, but because of my Christian faith and walk with the Lord Jesus, I am beginning to understand that what I have within me is more than enough, and I need not compare my journey in life to someone who was designed to be entirely different to me!
Okay, I will henceforth refrain from excitedly babbling on here in the comment section each time you share something relatable. XD
I'm just coming out of an 18 year creative burnout. I've decided to dedicate everyday during lunch break at work to do quick sketches in a sketch book. My 2 days off I'll actually have time to work on an actual project.
Just watched your video and during
Covid19 have watched many of your UA-cams inspiring me so unbelievably. I am 75 years old have loved art since I was a young child. Another story of why I couldn’t pursue art after winning the art award getting out of junior high and in 2000 beginning oil painting. Won best landscape of show with my first oil painting and kept painting. I started taking workshops from some top national painters. Doing ok but my lack of drawing expertise has gotten me discouraged! I ordered and received my set of Tisch Daggers from Rosemary &Co. I feel like a kid again and am going to draw every day since I can’t go to the Y. Thank you for doing these videos to inspire the world. Got my sketch book out and will start tomorrow am and tie it in with my prayer/meditation time. Your video with your dad was one of the first I watched! Loved it! The Apple does not fall far from the tree(you and your dad!). Thank you! God Bless!
What I'd give to have just 1% of the talent you possess... You are a very fine artist. Thank you for your hard work and sharing the skills you have.
i just barely became introduce to you thanks to UA-cam, roughly about two months ago is when this happened.. and I've discovered that your style through communication that you're addicting in a positive way..kinda like coffee in the morning.. never the less, thank you... through Sketch Endeavor I just finished the best drawings of my life thanks again,
.
Nice to see this as it's something I believe in. I am a moderator in the drawing forum of a popular art website and have had my work published. It's important for people to realize that talent isn't a requirement for drawing - it's a skill like anything else. It requires practice and patience but with dedication it's amazing to see the improvements that can come quickly. One thing you didn't mention is the importance of paper. All paper is different - all have pros and cons. Not all sketch pads are the same by any means. In fact I import my paper from the UK as I'm particular and my favorite type isn't available in the US. I was glad to see you get away from using your finger to blend because of the oils. Think of how the cops lift fingerprints - graphite powder. You can find a lovely fingerprint indelibly set in your drawing using fingers. And one last observation - the lighter the grade of graphite the more clay is mixed with it so the harder it is. Harder graphite can easily emboss paper which cannot be removed or covered.
This was very encouraging ... good for you!!!
Hey Ken, all great suggestions! Thanks so much for the comments. I'll be sure to discuss this in the next video.
Ken I'm curious to know what paper you use and it's qualities?
Concur! Fingers are a definite ‘no-no’. Also - given that your main technique is painting... you already have one of the best blending tools - trim down some old discarded brushes and see how they go; I recently purchased some cheap 1/8” flat taklon brushes and trimmed them down to about 3 or 4 mm for detailed blending (seperate brushes for graphite, charcoal and white charcoal) - and a 1/4” for more general work...
As to blending, that would be a great topic for your videos, different blending tools with the differences in how they leave marks (smudges). Paper types are also important with the blending tool choices.
Hello Andrea. I adore Mellotex and have used it exclusively for years. It is a nice white, smooth surface but erases wonderfully. Unfortunately it is no longer available. In talking with Mike Sibley he recommended Conqueror as having the same characteristics as Mellotex but he likes it even better. So I'm about to give it a go.
Lorraine Loranger
I have been drawing for a long time and always go back to it in one aspect or another but never really explored sketching to its full capacity. So glad to hear that drawing is such a large part of my artistic endeavours, at one point I was told that sketching would never get me any where in the art world. Thank you for proving them wrong and being the inspiration to myself and the other artist.
I didn’t draw for 30 years before taking up again. I now try to draw every day even if it is just when I sit down to have a coffee. You have a phenomenal talent, and you still want to improve - you are inspirational!
So glad you are drawing from images of horses , in their natural environment . Like the goats and cows they are a pray animal ie eyes on the side of their head . When the horse is right brain and they are in their fright , flight mode the tension around the mouth , eyes and with their tail upon the air well in fact their whole body , will be noticeable different . Glad you have chosen to draw horses as they are. Thank you for your generosity of sharing your knowledge. You are very inspirational,loved listening to your dialogue while you work .
You are so right, drawing is where it all began for me. I suddenly miss my pencil.
So much of what you talked about in this first episode resonated; the negative self talk, the need for repetition and practice, the continued commitment... I find what happens to me a lot, because I’m trying to learn my craft around a full-time job and other life commitments, is that I always have this underlying anxiety every time I enter the studio that I have to make my time count and the only way to do that is to create something spectacular or it’s been a waste. My greatest challenge has been embracing the fact that no matter what I do in there, its brilliant because I’m learning and improving. Hearing your thoughts really crystallized that for me and also makes me feel less like a failure, if that makes sense. Anyway Andrew thanks again for another awesome video. I don’t know how you do it? What you’re accomplishing every day blows my mind!
Andrew, I know this was a year ago. But I really appreciated you sharing your thoughts and honest feelings about feeling like it was" almost hurting your feelings" the way you weren't quite "good enough"... with the sketch you were doing. I have been plagued with the same feelings recently. Watching you and hearing you of all people say that, somehow made me feel a little better. Thank you!!
Unbelievable....I love listening to you talk throughout......loving the drawings!!! commitment! wow! sure hope I can be brave enough to start drawing.....love it
Thanks for sharing this part of your journey it is very motivating to see an established and successful artist like you engage in (re-engage in) a back to basics campaign of regular sketchbook drawing to continue to improve. Its true we never arrive but are always on the journey, glad you have chosen to share yours with all of us.
I just discovered your channel/videos and as I'm watching this one on sketching and drawing, you're talkinga about listening to inspirational/motivational books. I had to smile as I am doing a year long coaching program in which basically we work on becoming the best version of ourselves we can be, and then helping others do the same. So Good They Can't Ignore You is just one of the many books the program asks us to read. I feel that you would really resonate with this coaching program, which many people take just to work on themselves even if they have no interest in coaching others. Also though, it was just another 'sign' from the universe that getting back into painting and finding your videos is in alignment with my goals and aspirations. Thank you for your beautiful work as an artist and the beauty in your soul that so effortlessly shines through.
The way you look while you're drawing Andrew shows your passion. You are a part of the drawing. That passion makes it perfect to my believe. Time is related to everything else buth your passion. When I do my thing I even forget to eat, don't hear my wife calling me. Look at your dad, nothing can stop him and so are you to my honnest opinion.
thanks for the very important reminder - drawing is such a great thinking activity - I often do some sketching before painting, but obviously not enough, and if a painting is a failure, it's because I jumped into the painting too soon. It even informs me of color choices because I've worked out tone, but also where the color flows within the painting, thanks!
Andrew, you are SO inspiring! Watching your videos and using your instruction has been so helpful to me. I really appreciate all the work that you do. Thank you!
I especially liked the commentary. The mindset and approach is so logical as a way to progress and develop. Much respect!
Hi Andrew, these drawings are so realistic. I see your respect to your daddy, your dedication ,commitment ,love and burning desires for learning. It is inspiring .Seventeen and half years ,may be helpful for estimations. I have started drawing just few days back. Thank you for sharing this video.
I'm with you Andrew! Let's do this!
Thank you for the great motivation! I am in! Looking forward to your next drawings✏
Very motivational video for one like me who is trying hard to cross each step towards "perfection" and that's too without the guidance of any teacher at all. Thanks so much Andrew!
Here are some of my tips, being a rather practiced drawing artist. I paint also, but graphite is a love of mine that I've been thinking of spending more time on. Use different tools. Go purchase some graphite sticks, not pencils, just the solid stick, where your fingers actually come into contact with the medium. Sticks have a softer, smoother feel on the paper, and can blend like a dream if high enough in quality. The feel and smell of it will add a layer to the experience. Pure graphite comes in different shapes, so play around with those to develop textures. Try blending with cotton balls, cotton swabs, or blending stumps or even natural sponge for unique effects. The kneaded rubber eraser is excellent for working dimension, depth, highlights and corrections, and it doesn't leave a residue on the paper, unlike the solid sort. Try a variety of papers, some with a different weights, some with a rougher or lighter tooth. Each offers its own look to the finished product. These are ways to fall in love with drawing, so that it doesn't feel so much like a chore. A properly blended, soft wash of graphite can be as satisfying as a gorgeous blend of color on canvas. Some of my drawings were in an art show and I can think of a couple of dynamic responses that people had to the drama and romance of a the graphite images. As a matter of fact, my current masterpiece is in graphite. It's worth it; a truly rewarding venture.
Thank you! I am jazzed.... can't wait to do your sketchendeavour, and post!
Drawing is so important, thank you for reminding me. I love these Sketchendeavour videos, your techniques are really inspiring and make me think about how to approach projects. Looking forward to more Sketchendeavour videos. Thank you so much for being the inspiration you are Andrew, this is my most favourite art channels on youtube. Just love your work!
What works? What is not working, and what if? Three great questions. I am grateful you voiced those three. I had not realized I was thinking this way and then you said it aloud; and bang! These are the three best tidbits of moving forward with my art. And the "What if?" opens the door to originality and improvement. I watched this video three times and on the third view (while painting this morning) those three questions stood out as the basics of gaining competency. Great stuff Andrew.
Your work is absolutely amazing, and you are such a kind soul! Thank you for sharing your genius with the world!
Thank you, I will follow suit. This is inspirational! 10000 hrs..hmmmm okeydokey...your thoughts hold much weight on art community.
Thank you again!
This video you have produced is hugely valuable!!! Thank you for making this available. I look forward to all the future videos!!!
I got into painting because my drawing skills are weak. Now I realize how important drawing is and why it makes for a better painting. Animals are my passion and I'd like to make my paintings
more life like by understanding the anatomy thru drawing. I will set time each day to practice drawing. You're the best Andrew!
Andrew - A HUGE g-heart felt thank you for this inspirational video. Even though I am on in my years and I pray that I would have 10,000 hrs to give to practice. That said any time spent with the art of drawing and taking your words and also the words of you fathers seriously, we can all improve greatly, and also pass these videos on to the younger artists we might have in our lives that you can help with their "Art Endeavors of Sketching and Painting". I know myself I know a few and most of our schools in my area don't have these types of classes to provide to the students. How truly blessed your life has been.
Andrew, this is a good idea. I have been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. I draw, sketch and make notes every day. I think in 2011 there was a break through in my sketching. Something happened in that year, after 40 years at it. I think I came to my own place in art. So, the last 10 years has been great, because I know who I am in my art work.
Interestingly enough, it was watching one of your videos where you were doing a graphite sketch to plan for a painting that really made it click for me how much I have stagnated with my drawing skills once I started painting and how much it was hindering my growth. I've since been trying to sketch and draw more. First, by really taking my time when drawing my outlines and guidelines for a painting and then trying to have times where I just sketch with an aim to focus on shapes and values and understanding the form. I'm already seeing how helpful it's going to be when it comes to anatomy in particular and just developing my accuracy. Love that you are doing a series on this. Sometimes, just listening to you talk about your own work ethic and practices is what I need most. Especially when depression is looming and telling me that I'll never be able to make it. Your talks remind me that I can, but most importantly, they tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I need to be doing differently. Thank you Andrew. You and this channel is a light in my battle against the darkness of depression right now. I greatly appreciate it.
I love how much you speak about the importance of practice!
You are right, sketching is harder than painting because you only have on shade to bring 3D life to form. Painting you have all the different colors to mold the shapes. Seeing your skills close up, like how you "hatch" the hairs and texture was very useful. THANK YOU!
This video is just what I needed to know what to do. The way you filmed and explained what you learned is amazing and helpful. I keep watching videos and tried to get motivation but you have to do something to improve. Daily work. Thank you!! I am gonna use your video as inspiration to improve!
You are so inspiring to me. I've only found you a few weeks ago. I am devouring your videos. Thanks so much for all you do.
Fantastic work, Andrew! Great line work and cross-hatching. I have been reading a lot of art books on Scribd lately and picking up some excellent, noteworthy techniques and information on drawing. However, there is NOTHING equal to watching someone showing you how these techniques are applied! Your generosity in putting these videos out there for free is an amazing gift to us who are wanting to learn and be a part of an art community and not have to pay a squillion ($$$$) to do so! Such were the days of the Heidelberg School in Melbourne and days gone by where people saw the value in sharing knowledge and being together as a community as being of a greater wealth! You have that old spirit of giving and I am not only thankful for it, but admire you and respect you for it! I will be waiting for next weeks video with enthusiasm!
I love your teaching. You are so humble.
It's blindingly obvious that you are a complete genius at painting and even sketching(mark my words,it's right from my heart) but I must admit that the way you compose these videos and bring them out-it's raw and crude and a treat to watch-that I couldn't but help appreciating this as well,take a bow,sir!
You really make me think twice not only in arts but in everything in my life! Thanks a lot! God bless you!
I follow a handful of artists like Cesar Santos, James Gurney and you of course. What I find is we need other artists in our lives to motivate and encourage us. You are doing an outstanding job of that. I think you have convinced me to finally pick up pencil and start drawing and painting again. One thing you may not have experienced in your life is the loss of a skill. I hope there is some muscle memory at leased to make things a little easier.
I have painted pet portraits for many years, but life took an unfortunate turn and I have gotten away from painting all together.
Amazingly, I too have begun to draw and once again you are an unbelievable inspiration to me. I thank you from the bottom of my pencil.
You ARE the BEST!
Thanks Debra!
Almost a year ago, I dedicated at least one hour each day to drawing. I use a bound sketchbook and I date each page. You are so right about the improvements. Many things have changed in my work and life.
For almost a year, I was very confused about why I can't improve any further! Watching this video made me realise I wasn't sketching at all lately. Now I have got the answer I wanted, need to start sketching daily. Thanks a lot for this big help!:)
Totally agree Andrew practise makes perfect 👍 , you always get out what you put in.
I always think going to the gym as well is needed like yourself , pencils and brushes don’t build muscle but a healthy body is a great foundation for everything else .
I decided that I needed to have a still life or long drawing so I always have something to work on (and finish-like your Dad said).
I loved what you said about setting a daily goal. I doubt I will live another 17 yrs but already I have _made a decision_ to focus on drawing first but always to remember what excited me before it was drilled into me that you can't make a living painting…
A lovely book is called, "The Artist's Way" and it helped me to recognize where all that negative self-talk came from and where it needs to go!
Cheers, from Toronto
thankyou thankyou thankyou!!!!!! this is exactly what i need at this point of my fledgling art career. I will make it an absolute non-negotiable agreement to get up earlier and put in the time I need to take my art career to the next level. This means absolutely everything to me. looking forward to seeing and listening to next week.
Hi Andrew, by far this is the most inspiring video about drawing I have ever came across. Absolutely educational and great advice and tips. I am a self taught artist and I have done the best I can. I am always looking for perfection but getting there. Watching this video has definitely made a great impression on me and realized how important is drawing for a great painting. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I wish you the best and more success in your career. You are an awesome artist, dedicated and exceptional teacher. Thanks again. Blessings for each day. ❤️👍
Thank you for reminding me its essential, and enjoyable, and a time to let it go, and do it again, xx
Andrew-
Your saying about that inner negative voice is so true.....Mentioning those artists I do as well, as I bet many other people do too.....Thanks for the video was really awesome and inspiring.......I started my art passion just a year ago after many years since my 20' (am 45 now) thinking I could NOT DO ART... I love Pastel Portraits as well....I read of the great Masters like Bronzino, Tintoretto, of course MichealAngelo etc etc etc......I figured to Master Pastel and Icon Portraiture I needed to stop for a bit and have just been putting in hours a day in my sketchbooks with pencil and charcoal. Fascinated by Sabin Howard's Drawing Style and Sculptures and have just started one of his 5 week online courses.....In these past 4 1/2 months the improvements have been nothing short of astounding. It takes a GREAT amount of Guts, Determination, Patience and Pure Will to be a great draughtsman.....Thanks for the Videos and Much continued Success....
Wow Andrew - you continue to inspire and encourage and this daily habit is certainly something I dip in and out of with every intention of keeping it going. I've been following the monthly art themed #s on Twitter since Aug 2014 for encouragement to do something regularly and only managed a few full months. I think I need to embrace your 'non-negotiable' approach :). Thanks again for taking the time to post your work - it is another incredible video!
Andrew - I couldn't agree more, drawing is the basis for great art. Keep up the inspirational work! Your comment that your wife thinks you are crazy - it's obvious she supports your endeavors though, which is wonderful.
I love this!!! I'm on my way to pick up a sketchbook!!!! You are absolutely right!!! I'm so interested in the pencil set you use. You are the real deal, Andrew. For me, YOU are my one stop shop for everything, painting, drawing, animals, my passion, landscape, portrait, wow!!!! You blow me away!! So grateful and inspired by you!!! Love sketch endeavor!!!!!
Thanks Angela! I appreciate it! You're the best! :)
The world is so wonderful if many people like Andrew -- whole-heartedly sharing his knowledge without fear that his fortune will be degrading. Thank you for painting many hearts, my friend. I can't sleep if I haven't slipped into your postings here at youtube or IG. One day, I will show you my works.
A lovely realisation that occurred during your narration when you were talking about the self criticism and wanting to be better, trying not to dwell on the self lambasting.. That critical eye, that critical voice is your guide, if that voice didn't happen and didn't care we wouldn't want to push through to make ourselves develop confidence to show our inner critique. That judgement is our yearning for better, for more, for professional ability. It made me appreciate my inner critic. So for that I have to thank you for this video.
Hmmm. I see your point. I do think there is a difference between constructive and destructive internal commentary/dialogue. I like to think of this as 2 different characters in your mind, one is a coach who pushes you with knowledge and a firm hand and stern words, but there is love there, and another is a prison guard who subjects you to sleep deprivation techniques and electric shocks. Both will create change, but which approach is better?
@@AndrewTischlerArt I think awareness of the dialogue is a major positive change, action from that mental vantage point is heightened. It is helping me in that sense, this afternoon I put a lot of time into drawing, preparing some paintings, noticing the good cop bad cop interplay made me feel slightly more confident, I care enough to mock the mistakes I could easily avoid when effort is applied yet enough to soothe worries about composition and methodically forward think each step. We are three in the creative process, is wild to notice.
I design buildings and landscapes have been for 30+ years -- your point about "only drawing to explore design or relationships" has become my norm. To my credit I still design on paper first but never get to the level of even your simplest sketch before I dive for CAD .. this has inspired me to revisit drawing my designs and architecture around me-- thanks.
Love the name Sketchendeavour. So great to see animals staring in your videos. Your drawing diary is an inspiration to pick up the pencils again.
Cheers Tania!
Thanks for sharing such valuable input
Everything you say and demonstrate is just so true. The basis of any artistic attempt is the drawing. So happy to have found this channel! I’ll be checking out your other media sites as well. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Andrew for the inspiration and motivation to make this a regular practise. Your sketches are just beautiful. Cheers!
Teresa
Andrew, You are an inspiration. Thx
Thank you for this Andrew! I knew I don't draw enough at all! Usually I'll just quickly rough draft my image out then right to painting. Yet, I do enjoy the drawing process, but don't. crazy.I LOVE this video....listening to you and watching you draw is MAGICAL!!
They say it takes 30 days to create a habit, so you are on your way, thanks for sharing the experience.
Thank you. I needed the kick in the a---. I have been down in the dumps. My perfectionism has been paralyzing me. I agree with your Dad- perseverance leads to excellence. A man is not measured by his falling down but by his getting back up.
Hi Andrew, great work as usual. I am one who always draws first and quite agree it gives you much more of a sense of your subject. It’s all about really seeing and this always helps with other things in life too. Practice is very important as you say and you have to be a really committed artist to improve. It’s crucial to personal well being to enjoy and not compare yourself with others because it can be very demoralising. Graphite is wonderful to work with and is in many ways is better than charcoal. Thanks for your insight and inspiration.
Andrew you’re so amazing! I look forward to each video and I’m learning so much from you. Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Hi Andrew, Your last POD Cast with your father was exceptional. There was one conversation that I took away from this viewing was that: his experience with the Zoo's. How the clientel base was not the Zoo's thenselves but their local supporters donating His artwork. That inspired me to try going out of the box and experimenting in this area. Thanks so much for putting on these POD Cast's. It is a great ideal. Keep it up mate.
This brings me back to my roots....like practicing scales on a musical instrument! Why is it that solutions found in the most obvious foundations are often the most elusive??? The same premise is found in equestrian training....go back to the foundation and fix any holes found there. Thank you for the challenge...your transparency...and for sharing your talent! I WILL be following and applying what I have learned!
I am going to tag along on the ride Andrew Tischler. Yes, bring Santos back, he is my favorite artist of all time.
Connie Shishkoff I am kind of amazed to see so many people responding. I feel that you are fostering a sense of community by your willingness to be so open and honest with your viewers. I am definitely encouraged to press on.
Those horses are fantastic- reminds me a lot of the artist Richard Stone Reeves. Brilliant!!!!!
Great watching you practice! I agree with the concept, when people tell me they can’t draw.. yes it takes practice and HARD WORK! Good for you..
Hello Andrew! I started my more serious painting when I was older, 17 1/2 years would make me 91 years old. When I worked with Mark Carder years ago, he taught me how to use a proportional divider, and it payed off with my art, except that it took forever! I do see a need myself to return to sketching. However, I certainly can't do it the way you do: hand/eye with ease. I needed a bit of a crutch in the little squares, drawing within and comparing the original with my outcome. I do want to continue this because I know it would make me a much better artist. Thanks for sharing your gifts and encouraging your viewers to join you!
Adoro você inspiroume
Interestingly i have.seen people who cant draw a stitch simply draw what they want to paint and then their work comes out complete and beautifully done.
I haven't sketched for years, but that is all I ever did from a young girl well into my 30s. For some reason I just stopped, and started self teaching myself to paint about four years ago.
Thanks for the inspiration and planting yet another seed of thought to help bring our work to a higher level of quality. Can't wait to get started. ✏️😊 FYI, not silly for you to share this, it actually makes you more relatable to a larger audience👍
Thanks Goldie! I appreciate the feedback and the confidence boost!
i have been following you for a while im an Maltese artist myself i do painting and sculpture also have been a tattoo artist for the last 20 years now would like to congratulate you for your amazing work such an inspiration for me ..... such a nice idea very important the sketchendeavour. Thanks for sharing your Knowledge . Arthur Salerno Malta.
Think I will be getting my book and pencils out tomorrow! Just the boost I need. Fantastic artist.
I needed this! Thank you sooo much! I literally have tears in my eyes. I really needed this!
Andrew, I love graphite. I thought I was going to be a watercolor gal but graphite has won my heart. I am going to try this and see how it goes. Loved your video.
Andrew u have been a great inspiration for me to work. Again i really admit that unerdsatnding anatomy of an animal helps u in drawing. I a veterinarian and i really improved my animal sketches after 1st year of anatomy.
You are so correct. Thanks for the intensity and inspiration. You a very special person and artist
And they say... 'Behind every successful man is a Good Woman' !
Thankyou very much Andrew.
Its not where you start.
Its the journey, the enjoyment.
To put feeling and emotion into artistry is beyond valuable.
I enjoy learning from you, always.
WOW!! Your dedication to improving your own skills as well as your honesty both in speaking and in sketching is inspiring. When I hear how you dedicate your time to your love of art I realize why I am not improving my skills, because I an not taking my art work seriously and I hear your Dad's words repeating in my head again an again and again. This was a great lesson. Thank you,
Thank you for sharing. Love it.
That’s it ! Your channel and your advices is all I need to learn 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing this with us. It is a wonderful idea, and has encouraged me to start drawing more often. I am just beginning to work with painting and drawing after years of rearing family, going through a 20 year illness. So now I'm 73, and still want to learn more and enjoy being involved with art. Your videos have inspired me and given me hope! God bless you!
Andrew, the best drawing demo I’ve seen. Please keep doing them, they are fantastic, thank you
So talented! I paint and draw for the joy of the moment
Andrew I use a phrase with my students and it very simple. "There is enormous power in the little word "Yet" " I can't do that......yet. I preach this religiously it goes along with the advise you give about putting in the time. Every time I doubt myself I remember this very important little phrase.
Andrew...Love the use of your finger to shade...I was told never to do this and to see a high caliber, professional, AMAZING artist like you doing this made me smile ALOT! Thinking to myself, If only my ART teacher Ms.Brown was near ya now she would so wrap on your knuckles so hard for that ...LOL.Love your stuff bro...You are crazy talented...
Thank you for the instruction and for your transparency in sharing.
