Great video! I started drawing 5 months ago and your videos have helped me a lot. Art channels like yours inspired me to start drawing and posting my art online. Thank you!
I don't have any creativity so can I can learn drawing
We all have creativity, it’s part of being human. But it looks differently when applied by different people.
Yes, because creativity often comes from a visual library and life experience.
I myself only developed it after i got started drawing.
Such valuable points that are practically NEVER shared/told. Deeply appreciate your effort.
Would be wonderful if you could illustrate these with sample drawings . . . perhaps even as a set of 4 or 5 videos.
Thank you
Thanks. Actually, each of these points does has its own video at least once, but I wanted to group them together in this way in one video. Glad it was helpful 😀
@@stephentraversart Ah . . . haven't been on your channel for long. I'll check them out. Thank you
What I prefer o do is take a reference and combine it with the way a master handled that particular subject. So not copying a drawing but trying to draw something new in a style of a master - for instance, Franklin Booth or Aubrey Beardsley.
A great way to explore the drawing techniques of artists who have inspired us. Thanks for sharing
Sir I want to start drawing but I don't know where to start give me some suggestion
Start with simple subjects and do t draw them too large or in too much detail. You’re learning a skill, so it’s important not to do things that are too hard at the start. 😀
Thank you for suggestion I need your advice where I can start from drawing 😭
BUT isn‘t the decision of what marks I want to put on paper the result of TRYING a lot of different variations and experience? I think even for you it‘s really hard to visualize exactly how your marks will look when you look at the photo reference? You have a basic idea based on what you‘ve drawn before.
Of course. All our drawing is based on, and flows in some way from what we’ve done before, as well as other sources including what we’ve seen. It’s why I always experiment with marks for a few minutes before every drawing - to see if the marks I think will work actually achieve the effect I hope for. If not, I explore a bit more. I’m trying to encourage people to consider more than merely lines with an outline emphasis. In itself there is nothing wrong going with that, but being aware of other ways of thinking and drawing increases the options we can explore. 😀
A lot of your 10 minute drawing excercises are almost concerned with the outline of the things you draw. How this goes together with the content you are talking about?
The simpler the subject, especially without a greater context around it, the more lines can be appropriate marks to focus on, especially in a series aimed at beginners to drawing. But in the wider context of understanding drawing, I think there is an unhelpful presumption about marks and outlining. 😀
