    I had trouble figuring out the motion you were using for the splashing parts, so if you could explain that better it could help. I got it after I adjusted my hand. Also if you could do a tutorial for coloring the wave with colored pencil or acrylic that would be great.

    • @jimfreeheart
      @jimfreeheart  2 роки тому

      Not sure what your challenge is primarily... but I have found that by rotating my paper at different angles my hand can more easily draw certain curves naturally. I am right handed so my sketches are done with the crashing wave curving off to the left side of the paper most of the time. If you flip the page upside down at times you can make the smooth curves easier. Just try again... maybe even drawing the shapes I am showing you as an exercise to copy shape - not drawing a wave. (This seems to help remove the mental block we might have about drawing something or other)
      Keep on drawing and have fun with it!
      Feel free to try it and let me know if these ideas help!
      Thanks Jim

    • @jimfreeheart
      @jimfreeheart  2 роки тому

      Try drawing lightly at first... remember you can turn your page to draw different parts of the drawing...Turned a certain way a curved line becomes easy and natural for your hand. just try doing that and you'll see a difference!
