I'm a 14 year old artist, and I always struggle from artist block but this just inspired me to fill up some pages
I'm glad to hear that Wyatt. January 2nd I'm putting part 2 of this up. If you have any questions I'd be happy to help. Do you put your art up online anywhere or are you keeping it to yourself for now?
This video was perfectly timed for me. When I was young I filled sketchbooks with exactly this type of drawing. I liked to doodle cause nobody could say it was wrong like my art teachers did in junior high. I quit drawing soon after.
I am an old man now and I have started to doodle something everyday.
Thank you very much for making this video that not only transcended miles to reach me but decades as well!
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm glad that you got something out of it. Thank you for watching!
This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Maddy! I appreciate the encouragement. 🙂
Great video. Pulling up your drawings to show how you’ve used the styles was great. Really appreciate the creativity even with what you could describe as basic shapes and lines.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this.
@@IllustrationsByPete yes I’m binging all your videos. Been really stuck trying to “find” my style and have not been happy with the drawing I’m doing. Watching your newest video now it’s going to be perfect for me. UA-cam algorithm was on point today 😂.
Glad to hear it. I hope it helps. If you have any questions let me know.
Earlier this year, I decided I wanted to learn to draw. It's been a bit of a slow process but with lots of practice, I'm getting better. I have been doing a lot of flowers and such and drawing borders on pages of my journals. I wasnted to do something a little different than just all those flowers an plants, so I started looking at your free form abstract doodling. What fun! As I was watching your video, I started drawing all sorts of abstract shapes and things. Thanks for opening up another area drawing and doodling for me. I enjoy your videos and find them very down to earth and encouraging, even to those of us who cannot draw a straight line with a ruler.
Again, thanks for giving me some new ideas.
Hi Barbara! I'm glad this helped. Part 2 of this is coming out tomorrow. Thank you for letting me know that you enjoy the content. I love hearing that. Happy New Year!
Also, I'm glad you started drawing. There's nothing more fun than to create something that never existed before. Keep going! 🙂
I loved watching you do this! Wonderful stuff. I'm finding myself more drawn to abstract these days, and i found the variety you showed here very inspiring. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed this. Thank you for letting me know. I need to do more of these.
This is such a great video!! Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Thank you for this video. It showed up as a recommended one because I was struggling to find a doodling example that was a TRUE doodle!! All of the doodling examples that come up with a search are one that fill the page with cute pictures of dogs, cats, sunshines, flowers, trees...EVERYTHING I'M TRYING TO GET THEM TO STOP DOING! :-) I'm an art teacher and I teach exclusively online. I make a few videos when I have to but I love it when someone else has a video that I can use because the kids get tired of videos with the same voice, etc. I also struggle to get kids to think outside the box because we are not one-on one. I try to do a weekly doodle activity but the kids generally don't "get it". They simply can't see the importance of doing a doodle over the course of a week, and what I expect a week-long doodle to look like. Thank you for this intricate, random set of lines that mean nothing more than " I think I'll do this" and "where should I put some more black?". You are constantly problem solving in what I think is a true doodle and you can clearly see you doing that as you draw. I recently found a video by Darren Fisher that he calls automatic drawing and yet it is filled with constant decision-making. You and I are definitely on the same page when it comes to the differences....but UA-cam is full of thousands who are espousing the direct opposite. I have added this to my school lms to use in a lesson very soon. Well done!
Thank you for your kind words, Catherine! I'm glad you find this useful enough to share with your class. I will do more videos like this in the future. Will you please come back here and let me know if they benefit from the video? I appreciate your support!
Cross hatching works really good for tattooing
I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you for your video ! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Fantastic love your work
Thank you, June! 🙂
I had the EXACT same problem you mentioned toward the end of the video.
Really glad I watched this, because now I realize I was looking at this stuff all wrong. Thank you.
Hi Woogy! I'm glad you found this helpful. Thank you for letting me know.
Thank you so much for this video. I was struggling to even doodle anymore and you've inspired me to pick up my pen and watercolour again. Your work is brilliant dude, you just earned a new subscriber!
Thank you so much! I'm glad this helped you. I love hearing that I've inspired someone to create.
This is really inspiring, I love the machine that makes abstract shapes and colors 😁
I'm glad you like it Becky! I've been trying to figure out a way to inspire some creativity but I didn't know how it would translate into a video. 🙂
I went to "like" your video and realized I'd already liked it sometime in the past lol. Great videos! I love how you explain things 😊
Lol. Thank you Megan! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I recently started to do automatic drawing and I enjoy it... Adding later some doodling in there....
Thanks for this lesson and tips..you explain very well and inspire us to go in an ocean of possibilities...I will add an eye or two 👀 in a drawing...☺you bet!👍
Hello Lunnadeplata! I'm glad you enjoyed this. Art is so different for so many people but I believe it should always be freeing and enjoyable. Sounds like you're on the right track. Thank you for sharing!
@@IllustrationsByPete forgot to mention.... I like your drawings very much....they inspire me to keep drawing and venture new styles.🙏😉
Thank you for saying that. That's my desire.
Wow thank you for this actual Explanation of what your doing/thinking.
Great inspiration and also really like your art. It’s good 👍
peace
Hi Scott! I plan on doing another one of these soon and explaining a whole drawing/painting as I do it. Thank you for your feedback.
Great vid. Thx for the insight👍🏻
Hi Brian! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment.
Very helpful, inventive, thought provoking. Thank you for sharing ☺️
Hi lamlynie1 ! I'm glad you enjoyed this. Thank you for letting me know that it was helpful.
@@IllustrationsByPete you are welcome, art is always better shared ☺️Lyn
Really appreciate this. Feel like ii am bored but not creative after watching many others...odd juxtaposition right? In transition from a habit of copying to generating beyond others' examples, like freefall without a net. Invested in supplies yet intimidated to start at times. Been a zentangle enthusiast since 2014, yet feel the need to break out, use big sheets, big colors, big crayons, big brushes and big messes...
Go for it! Use what inspires you. I understand that feeling, sometimes you need to let loose.
Very helpful examples of “how to/what you can do”, thank you! I also appreciate the message in your commentary that our drawing doesn’t have to have meaning or start intentionally as something specific. It’s ok to draw completely abstractly. Can I ask your opinion? Do you think if we doodle in this sort of way, does it develop us: our pen skill, our creativity etc? Will we progress in some sort of way without intentional skill development activity or techniques, could we organically progress in our own way?
Hello Christina! That is a great question. I believe it is progression in the best possible way. As you doodle you are deciding quickly what to focus on and what to leave alone. You develop the areas that intrigue you which tells you a lot about what you connect with most. At the end of the drawing you should be evaluating the entire piece and figuring out what you want to develop in the next doodle. Start from that point and see if you can develop it further or if it leads to something entirely different. There is always so much to learn from every piece. I often go through old doodles and see if anything new stands out to me that I connect with to see if I can experiment in a new direction. Even if I start with nothing in mind, there is always something that stands out to me that helps me move in a certain direction. Thank you for your question and have a great New Year!
I agree. Thank you for sharing!
This is amazing!!! Do you ever start with pencil to get the lines the way you want? Or just jump in with pen and work around mistakes?
Hello Melanie! I'm glad you enjoyed this. Sometimes I start with the ink, sometimes I start with the color, and once in a while I start with a pencil reference. When I start with pencil it's usually because I'm trying to end up with a certain compositional shape for the ending drawing so it won't be detailed but I'll have some shapes and boarders set up.
That dog at the beginning of video I have showed all my kids how to do that as first drawing(or by a little adjustment it can be a rabbit etc etc). Was strange seeing that at the start of the video.
Hi Gary! That's funny, I've never met anyone else who knew how to draw that either. That was the first thing my grandmother showed me how to draw when I was younger. It must've been in a drawing book or maybe in a drawing class. Who taught you how to do it?
My grandad was an artist(until he went almost blind a few years back) and my dad is a decent artist so I'm assuming it was one of them. I have always been encouraged with art since very early age. So I'm assuming it was taught to me as a child(I'm 37 next week so a long time ago lol).
That is a great skill to pass on. It's a memory of my grandmother that I cherish and I'm sure your kids will as well in 30 yrs when they see someone else draw that dog. Lol. Thanks for sharing!
yah. I realized how… well normal things,- trees people even; but abstract… that’s mind right there.
one is very very easily relatable. Another one is as if, you can say it like that, it would probably fit everywhere, another one is very much so dreamily difficult
I know. For some people it comes so naturally but for others, like me, it was very difficult. Thanks for watching.
My passion as a kid was drawing, I drew all day and in school would often get attention and trouble because of my messed up art. I'm talking pokemon with dicks and stuff lol. But when we had art class and I was serious, I went hard. Totally lost all drive to draw when I took up guitar at 14. In my late 20s I went to language school and I started drawing a LOT. People in the room, drawing my own memes, landscapes in my head... ect. Then I quit drawing again after school finished. Haven't even used a pen to write since. Cool video and cool channel, these types of videos really give me the drive to draw again. Thanks so much!
I'm glad if I stir that up in you. It's never too late to get back to art and when you do it becomes much more meaningful for you. I also stopped drawing when I was younger and in highschool. I only started again in 2015 and it's been the wildest ride since then. I'll never stop again. Stick around, this community is awesome and we all have a lot of fun together. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thought all doodles were abstract
Yes, you are correct. Calling it an abstract doodle helps people find the video regardless of which search term they use. 🙂
