Beginners Drawing: How to use Pencil and Graphite 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- This videos assumes you are a complete beginner to drawing. I shall be using a pencil and graphite and showing you how to create different marks and lines. I'll explain a simple way to draw straight lines without a ruler and how to draw curves. I'll demonstrate how to get drama and passion into drawn lines. Drawing is about confidence, but it is also about creating different effects with the pencil. How you hold a pencil affects how you draw.
Using your wrist, elbow and shoulder can affect how you draw with graphite or pencil. This video explains how these different methods of holding a pencil will improve your drawing.

Hi Paul. I enjoy your videos very much. I had to stop making drawings and paintings for few months. Today I decided to start again because it gives me so much joy. I'm bit rusty now and feel bit uncomfortable. Your personality and the way you teach makes so much easier for me to come back.
Wonderful Enjoy your painting and drawing. Cheers

Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely love your explanation of 'lines' and how expressive they can be. How do you sharpen the pencils, looks like you used a pen knife? Also when drawing or practicing with pencils/graphite, how to keep everything from smudging on the paper? Thank you
Yes, I do use a knife to sharpen pencils. It's easy to stop the smudging the trick is not to rest your hand on the paper. You shouldn't need to touch the paper. Cheers
Thank you sir it is really helpful from now I'll change my grip over pencil, I'll try hold from a little more back from tip like you suggested...
Good luck with your drawing
Interesting video and lots of good tips for beginners. One thing I would say is that the position you hold the pencil depends on what type of artist you are and the effect that you want to create. Personally for fine detail or if more pressure is required I find it better to hold the pencil quite near the tip. Apposed to much further away when doing an initial sketch, where a lighter looser touch maybe needed. Also the degree of sharpness is another thing to take into consideration as this will again produce a different effect. Thanks again and hope this is also helpful.
You are right, where you hold the pencil, sharpness etc. effects the way you draw. Holding by the tip tends to restrict the movement and the individuality of the line created. Holding close to the tip is often used by those wishing to copy photos or create photo-realistic drawings, which are often technically very skilled, but lacking in the individuality, which I believe is what art should be about. With beginners, I like to get them away from holding the pencil by the tip. I encourage them to hold it further back, and to use their fingers, wrist and arm to manipulate the line. Therefore, getting a more expressive, individual drawing. But in the end it's up to the individual what they want to do.
👍

This man taught me to draw
I'm sure there were others too. Thanks for the comment. Cheers
Waited for your video because I've completed all of your drawings .
My best drawings was the scissors
That's great to know, good luck with your own drawing.
I'll be showing my students this video. Hopefully they get some ideas.
Wish them all the best from me. Cheers

Woo Hoo
I've a question how can we wigle that confidently as in 5:01?
Practice and confidence. You have to learn to go for it and not worry if it doesn't work first time
I think I need to buy an easel, it would allow freer movement of the arm, rather than sitting down at the table
I think once you start moving your arm your drawing becomes freer and more dramatic. You'll probably enjoy it more too. Cheers
Hi
Hi
I wondering why did you stop making video 8 months ago between this and the video before, do you have ohter jobb that youtube?, sorry if it personal 😅 just curious 😅.
I run two UA-cam channels the other is - ua-cam.com/users/arthistoryschool . I also work entirely on my own, I have no team behind the scenes. I also need time for my own work and I have a life to lead. So it can be a while between videos I'm afraid.
Please pin me paul
Pin you to what!?
No sir nothing
👍
Cheers
