  • If you have any of these 6 ways of thinking about drawing, and the drawing process, it could be the reason you're not improving as rapidly as you feel you could. Understanding why they are so unhelpful, is a great tool in getting rid of them and replacing them with more productive ways of thinking. Some are very common, others are easy to understand how they happen, but they all can have a devastating impact on reaching your drawing potential.

    Brother these videos are awesome. I actually watch and listen to your coaching on these videos while I'm drawing forest landscapes. So im hearing your tips while I'm drawing. It's causing me to get better real fast.

    Excellent video. If you replace the word "draw" with another skill, it hold just as true, in my opinion.

      @@stephentraversart Thank you for the videos, I'm subscribed for exactly this kind of content, I don't draw nor plan on learning the skill, but I'm interested in learning skills and improving, so it's helpful to have aspects so well identified and articulated. Best regards

    Copying another artist's work can be a great learning process. I think you can come to understand why an artist chooses to use line in a certain way simply by repeating it and seeing the effect it has. It's been particularly helpful to me in seeing how light and shadow define form. Then I can apply those lessons to my own work, which is the most important thing in the end. You can find many great videos about copying an artist's work to understand the why and how of it. You can also find interviews with artists or channels like your own where an artist explains their process, which are helpful as long as you don't fall into the trap you discuss of watching videos about drawing instead of actually drawing.

      Traditionally, copying has been part of an artist’s education, but this is in the context of a teacher-led, broader, planned curriculum. I think the reality for the self taught artist in the UA-cam age creates a very different for outcome. It ends up a means of getting a much better drawing than can be created as an original piece, without teaching any of the ‘why’. Yet it’s the ‘why’ we need to know first for our own drawing. It can be very much of value in studying other drawings for particular visual effects - such as creating light or distance effects, but this is different I believe to copying a whole drawing. I suspect we would end up agreeing on this, but the reality for a video is if I qualified everything I said as much as I’d like to, it would be an hour long with so much said little would be remembered. Generalisations are sadly often a necessity. But thanks for sharing this. It’s a helpful addition to the video. 😀

      @@stephentraversart You are doubtless right that we agree more than disagree. The goal should always be doing better original work.
