Makes it look really easy to myself who is learning this very week to draw ! Promised myself to aim for a drawing each day , superseded by videos - yes yours .
People say they do not have talent but I do it by myself, but it is stupid it is often used as an excuse to cover their laziness. Talent is a certain threshold you get in the beginning, it is questionable how you use it. Never give up or you lose than ever before you start.
@@debragrimes1318 That's nice, i question my drawings a lot because i didn't know how to start at all i was completely out and i could not even draw a straight line to begin with. So i just keep going and drawing basic shapes, then i start learning about anatomy and read books and i get better... there is nothing to it just hard work and study and if you keep going you will reach that point where you will be able to observe that it actually paid off to work hard on it.
@@oudandviolen9092 1. Shapes Learn basic ones then go to more complicated try to draw glass of water it doesn't need to have reflection or shadow just shape then keep adding fruits, or teapot then go to something more advanced like small wooden ship. get used to them, you have to learn perspective without it everything will feel like it's not just right or there. perspective isn't really easy topic and if you master one or two shape you will soon find out that adding 2-3 more shapes into scene and connecting them is hard. 2.Lighting and Colors... Hard but seriously today with tools like blender it's easier to understand them. If you don't know blender learn it at least very basics so you will learn how to put item into scene and setup lighting then render it and you can see how light is shaping your colors and shadows. 3.Texturing. 4.Anatomy To be serious with you this is part where you study and draw... bones, muscles you need to know them specially if you want to draw characters later, proportions and everything else without proper knowledge of anatomy this will be almost impossible. Just find yourself a good references, books and draw bones i was learning from google and free pdfs that where on the internet. All you do is remember names and shapes then you draw them until you feel they are right. Then at least try one or two animals. 5.Exteriror and Interior you will think this should be learned before anatomy but no, it's hard since this will test all your knowledge about shapes, perspective, shadows, colors and if you will add characters into scene then even anatomy. Drawing and worldbuilding is hard don't push on yourself more you will stick with at least hour or two with drawing per day more experience you will gain. These things and topics i write are not necessary to follow if you don't want to it's how i go. There are lot of references and lot of free books on the internet that are focused on this topics or you can buy some books if you want i personally didn't.
I just subscribe to your channel. I want to learn to draw. I never done anything about draw before. But watching this video. I'm going to the store and buy my notebook and pencil. Thank you very much for teaching us.God bless you.
I actually had a lot more fun with that creativity excercise than I thought I would :D In the end it didn't look like a cougar, but I still like the way it turned out. I'll have to do this more often
This is more like an exercise for when you kinda know how to draw you just need to make it better. You go from a 0% that looks like what I'd do looking at the object to a 100% that is not only accurate, but in 3D and somewhat shaded. Only helpful if you already know how to shade or do things in 3D. I will be coming back to this after I find and exercise I can actually do as a beginner.
Wow i really love it. Acually most of the things i allredy have done, but there were things that were new to me. I future i will use this. Thanks you haved really helped me. By thd way i am sorry for bad english i am from latvia
Nice Bobcat! In our area. The mtn lion has no spots and the body is long and angular. Former location; I could walk out the back door see one laying on the rocks above me waiting for the deer heard to come by.
All the exercises presented here are for beginners and advanced drawers alike. Have fun doing them and you will notice results in your normal drawings and also profiency in those basic exercises.
So I want to start digital art, but I am terrible at drawing. Is it a skill you either have or you don't, or is it something I can learn over time? I'm willing to put a lot of work into it, by the way.
It's like learning any skill, such as driving a car or a plane or catching a ball. Some people will be better at it naturally, but in the end that's just the starting point. Where you end up is totally up to your dedication and the people teaching you.
it's skill ofc, but some people are faster than others obtaining the skill. If you're trying to go with digital art you are already ahead of me, because the transfer from paper to graphics tablet can be a pain in the ass. But, like any other skill it can be learned with passion.
+HistoricalPlayers try drawing the basics (example: shapes, shading, perspective drawing) and then build your way up from there. It's a very loooonnnnggg process and yes, VERY frustrating. Just remember that it is okay to mess up the first time. We all have to start somewhere ;3 hope this helped.
I like your sites better these days. As you do not confuse or distract me with inconguential chatter with your camera person. I guess I am easily distracted!
I don't know that u can hold the pencil like that my instructor showed me in a different way how to holding my pencil now I confused :O... plz can u explain a brief one... thanks if u could... :)
+yuphaporn srmt I think what your instructor show you is for advanced artist, as for beginners i think you better use this way of holding pencil. I also once told by my instructor to hold my pencil in a different way, i guess like your instructor showed you, but once i met a good artist who told me for the beginners and the purpose of practice just hold it normally. Until you see your self good and confident in art and you can see your self drawing nicely then you may try to learn the advanced way, at now don't focus in that, first practice a lot then think of that way later on. I hope that's clear the confusion.
just practice. When I was like 5 years old, My drawing is like the garbage can (meaning it sucks). When I was 9, my drawing is a little better. But when I was 11, I made one of my best drawing of all time. No, it is not a stickman but a cartoon character. I've drawn a lot of them
+Ternation Animation thank you so much but I am 23 years old right now.. oh well still young adult lol meaning I still have a lot of years in practicing probably need to buy the right pens in drawing too :) practice makes it perfect! :) thank you for the advice again! :) God bless :)
+Ternation Animation but I will need a hand exercises because my left hand now a days since I'm starting to get old, it is not calm anymore like it used to be, what I meant is my hand tend to get heavy while writing or drawing. it gets so intense all the time now :( that's why I am now starting to hate writing :( which I sadly doesn't wanna stop yet. :(
I feel like I just can't draw. I don't know what I'm doing. Whenever I look up stuff, I find the tutorials are awful or I don't know what exercises that I should do. I have that book "Drawing on the Right side of the brain" but I don't know what to do. I never had a good teacher at all in art and I don't know what to do :/
frontraiderz I had been having that problem when I started. I'm still pretty much starting, I would say I only have about two months practice in total, but I've been studying for about a year or two. You might start with the first bit of Andrew Loomis' "Successful Drawing", the foreword is pretty informational on the fundamentals that a lot of people talk about but no one really explains, and the first bits gives a really good representation of basic perspective and horizons and vanishing points, but very quickly ramps up in difficulty. So maybe start with that to get basic perspective down, then try the exercises on drawabox.com, I'm finding those very competent and digestible. That's about all I can tell you other than you need to change your attitude. It's to be expected that you can't draw, that's why you want to learn how, so that you CAN draw, so don't get too distressed over not being able to draw right this instant. That was one of the problems I had to overcome. Once you just accept the fact that you can't draw, you can start learning how you can draw because you won't be defeating yourself by saying "Well I can't draw, so I'm not even going to try." You can't get good at something by not doing it. /rant
+frontraiderz Go for quantity over quality when you're first starting out. Allow yourself to suck at first. You'll learn a lot more from 100 terrible drawings, than one sort-of-okay drawing that you fussed over. It will be more fun too.
untitled human I would love to eventually paint. I do know some artists use the alla prima approach or they draw with their brush. Then they fill things in. What about you?
I used to get frustrated a lot as well,however, over time as i practiced more i learned to just enjoy it and have fun and to remember Im doing this to get better just keep pushing! Regarding books i would suggest "Everyone Can Draw" by Barrington Barber,hes really good at explaining the basics with easy to understand instructions as well as stimulating exercises. They're 12 chapters in total (starting with the basics ,like some easy to follow techniques to use with graphite pencil,charcoal,watercolor,and pen then to more complex subjects like the human figure and animals) and although it may be challenging at first, it is definitely worth the investment (at least in my opinion :-D). And don't try to use every single exercise you find (trust me it will drive you crazy) just use the ones you think work best for you(besides, I cant imagine trying to use all the techniques I've learned over the past 3 years,hell,that would drive ME crazy!)
Awesome video and exercises. I LOL'd at your cougar though. That was awesome. Cougar's don't have spots though... just an FYI. Def. looked more like a hyena...LOL TFS!
Thanks, Rhoodah! I really put myself into the membership section. Thanks for your comment and thanks for being a member!

Thank you. I never thought I could draw. This was an amazing lesson. You have a subscriber and I'm looking forward to all your videos!
+Elisa Maria that's because talent or gift doesn't exist, i can't hear anymore people saying "waouhh ! You're really talented" ! OMG!!!
WOW !!!! Really learnt a lot after watching this video. Most useful drawing video I have ever watched. Thank you soo much.
I've attempted the exercises done pretty well so far
As usual, excellent comprehensive lessons Matt. Thanks a million.
Thanks this video helped out a lot especially when you actually drew the items with the box
Thanks so much for the video and explanation with demos. You are absolutely right about observation and practice, practice, practice. Great job!
This is awesome, thank you very much,
I learnt a lot here today.
Loved that Ostrich!
This is an unusual approach to drawing. I enjoyed it, and will have a go after breakfast this morning.

It's 2020 and this video is still relevant
Drawing is whatever percentage you can retain in your mind's eye coupled with looking at the object.
A great lesson for creativity. Good point of reference guide too. Nice
thanks
truly, it's the best video about drawing I ever seeing
congratulations..this is so cooool
realy good work
You are amazing I can't believe that the drawing is easy like that thank very much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. You are a good teacher.
Thanks for the Practical Information and the Principles behind drawing objects.
Really enjoyed and learned a lot in this tutorial. Thank you.
i can never get my pencil lead as well as yours, that plays a huge part on your drawings.
Love it! I want to learn how to draw, so helped a lot!!!! Thanks.
you said don't turn it into a masterpiece but this is what it is
17:40 for materials used
Wow i really love it. Acually most of the things i allredy have done, but there were things that were new to me. I future i will use this. Thanks you haved really helped me. By thd way i am sorry for bad english i am from latvia

A cougar is a type of big-cat in mountainous areas of the Americas, also known as a pumas, mountain lions, or panthers.
It was great fun. Thanks very much.
Nice Bobcat! In our area. The mtn lion has no spots and the body is long and angular. Former location; I could walk out the back door see one laying on the rocks above me waiting for the deer heard to come by.

Awesome! thanks for sharing this :)
I love that couch.
For the blind contour drawing I believe he was looking at the object 100% of the time.
Very interesting...thanks

You kind of sound like Hershel from the Walking Dead. It's pretty hilarious. Great job anyways! Thank you for this video!
Thank you!

Nice! I learned good in this video
Also I dint quite understand
could you give me like a mini written tutorial?
im just 13 and I want to be a drawer but I dont know where to start.
What don't you understand??
start with drawing cartoons or anime these are a good beginning

+flying underpants Good thinking. I'm twelve, with the same issue.
Super
Thank you so much
Welcome. Keep it up.

Thank you.

¡Gracias!
Need to knw the pen u used to draw with it the car and sofa...what is its name??
Sorry, I didn't understand; were you looking at the drawing or the object 100% of the time?
you are really cool!
Is that a uniball vision elite I see there????
I like your sites better these days. As you do not confuse or distract me with inconguential chatter with your camera person. I guess I am easily distracted!
can you give a better discription of your felt tip pen? :)
when drawing on a sketchbook, the hand must never lean on the paper, right?
u must be very good at pictioinary
Excuse me But it doesn't have to be a perfect circle right?
wow. like, holy fajitas. this really helped!!!
I don't know that u can hold the pencil like that my instructor showed me in a different way how to holding my pencil now I confused :O... plz can u explain a brief one... thanks if u could... :)

Should have made the blob shape a big foam finger with the Giants on it and the triangle a flag on the car with a rival name 😆
What pencil do you use?
It is not about the pencil, my friend. Learn to see 😊
What felt tip pen do you use ?
it's so hard for me to draw I'm left handed lol but I still wanna learn :)
