    aahh this came on my recommended and it made me realize this was one of the first videos (alongside your watercolor ones) that introduced me to art and motivated me to start. 7 years later and my relationship with my drawings and painting has become so important to me, even though I'm not a professional my drawings really make me feel happy and I wish that seven years from now I keep growing and evolving just like you. Thank you Mary Doodles :)

  • @lilyeckert5291
    @lilyeckert5291 8 років тому

    I am really glad I found your channel. I used to draw all the time in middle school, and I got pretty good. Then, when I started high school back in 2011, my work load got much heavier, and I didn't have much time to draw. I only drew occasionally in my first two years, then for some reason just stopped drawing altogether in my junior year. I have now graduated, and have almost completely forgotten how to draw. I have been meaning to start drawing again for some time, but never had the confidence to just do it. I always thought that my drawings looked bad, and that I would never get any better. Even the slightest mistake would make me want to give up. Over the last five-ish years, my mom (who is an art major) has bought me
    various drawing materials for birthdays and Christmas in hopes of getting me drawing again, but I still beat myself up over every little thing I did wrong, and held myself up to such impossibly high standards to the point that it wasn't even fun anymore. I almost gave up on drawing completely. Then I found some art channels here on UA-cam, and started to feel like maybe I could learn again. What really pushed me over the edge was this video about how to use India ink. Unfortunately, my Poppy just passed away recently. He was also an artist, and had a lifetimes collection worth of art books and supplies. When my mom was cleaning out his house, she collected a couple boxes of miscellaneous art supplies that she thought she or I might want to try out. Among this stuff was about a dozen dip pen handles, a small box of about 50 assorted nibs, and a half used 8 oz. bottle of India ink. I had no idea what to do with it at first, but then I happened across this video a week or so ago. Since then, I have started following some of your other drawing tutorials, working up to the point where I feel ready to use the India ink. After watching your videos, rather than feeling intimidated and disgruntled at the idea of drawing, I feel inspired and determined to build up my skills again. Thank you for your awesome videos, and for reawakening my passion for drawing.

    • @biancamitchell484
      @biancamitchell484 7 років тому +2

      Oddly enough I've found that a good source of information/tutorials on lighting, composition, temperature and mood actually came from books on art, a good one for me was a watercolour sketching tutorial book from the public library.

    QUESTION
    How are you so original? I love art and am good at what I do (I hope/think?) but I can never think of good ideas that I am passionate about and proud of. You've been super original with your wacky, silly, *beautiful* drawings. But how?

    • @pauletcobarrubias6916

    • @nicholasblutreich9544
      @nicholasblutreich9544 9 років тому +5

      Steal like an artist. Nitpick stuff you like from other artists and twist it to your will. For example i took a few notes from marry on how she does eyes. (This is for getting a unique style) by combining stuff from orher artists and making it your own youll have a style all to your own. Its worth noting that your style is always changing for the most part.

    • @nicholasblutreich9544
      @nicholasblutreich9544 9 років тому +2

      If you want to come up with unique ideas that youre passionate about i recomend you do/watch/read etc. stuff your passionate about that inspires you. Look at other artist take something they did that you really liked and draw a differant person but how they did.
      also one of my artist friend said some of the coolest stuff hes made was when hes was a little bit drunk or little bit high this is true to a digaree. The opposite can also be true if you take perscription pills dont take them if youre on a bunch of stuff for mood or adhd this can hinder creativity to an extent ive noticed

    • @nicholasblutreich9544
      @nicholasblutreich9544 9 років тому +1

      Also if you try new stuff that you normally dont do and keep like an art journal and sum up your experiences with a drawing thats usually how you get some cool stuff.

    • @sarahsimic2393
      @sarahsimic2393 9 років тому +1

      Note: I usually try using models like from others' art but end up doing complete rip-offs from said artists. A reference is one thing but I can never actually draw something new. Do I need figure studies? Do I need to have an inspiration attack? How can I come up with a mental image and draw it how *I* want it to be?

    @PixiePrincess501 9 років тому +10

    I've been waiting for this tutorial! My tools of choice are sepia acrylic ink and manga pens (G Pen for main lines, School Nib for smaller details, and Saji Pen for straight lines and background) But I do use a lot of black ink when I ink my mangas. I plan on getting purple and blue for sweet and underwater drawings too!
    One thing I learned the hard way, tho: "Permanence AA" does not mean waterproof!! I wasted $6 on a good drawing ink online only to find out the lines bleed when I applied watercolor :( I really thought it meant it was permanent...
    Also, make sure the nib is on snugly! To quote one of my favorite drawing books "A loose pen holder is bad news!"

    • @marydoodles
      @marydoodles  9 років тому +2

      PixiePrincess501 Good tips!!! Thank you! One thing I may have forgotten to specify is that there are some differences between inks so check the labels. And I guess permanent doesn't mean waterproof...weird.

    Just to chime in it's definately worth your while looking at a nib pen. I was using felt tip fineliners up until todays and was never really happy with the results i got. I changed to my Lamy fountain pen, basically becasue i forgot my fine liners and it was very impressed indeed with the result. So much so that I'm thinking of just using it.

    THE BEAUTY OF ART IS THAT THERE IS NO RULES! Of course, there are some suggestions that will help a lot, but rules. Pfft, who needs them?

    oi, just wondering if you would know, Mary, can a lefty is dip pens to draw and doodle whatnot or is it just for right handed peeps? cause I'm mostly a left handed artist person but I do write with my right hand. if can, any tips for a lefty?

    • @marydoodles
      @marydoodles  8 років тому +5

      +Dragon21Studios I can't say, as I've never been left handed...Nor do I associate with left handed people. They're ok, I guess. :) I feel like these pens are very universal. Any thoughts from leftys out there?

    • @Dragon21Studios
      @Dragon21Studios 8 років тому +3

      mmm that sucks... the whole world is mostly for right handed peeps after all :/ guess I have to force myself to get better at drawing, painting with my right hand then. The world is a cruel place for left handed peeps :(

      Lots of the time, if you write with ink pens you may smudge, because your hand goes over the ink, so you'd have to be very careful with drawing. I'm sure if you look you can find some invention to help with this.
      Hope this helped :)

      +Dragon21Studios I guess just like right-handed people can smudge if they draw sth on the left side and then happen to put their arm on sth they drew before - lefties can draw on the right side and then happen to put their arm on sth they drew earlier. Either youre just careful as a right-handed or left-handed person or you draw structured. As a leftie you should start from the top-right then and work to the bottom-left.
      Now.... Im a left-handed artist - at least thats how I call myself :D and it works just as good as it should for right-handed peps. Its not like it makes the drawing process different is it?

      +Dragon21Studios -- Two answers: 1. There *are* left-handed nibs and holders available. Look for lefty or left-handed when you search online, or ask someone if you don't find them at your local store. I'm right-handed, but I've seen them available for calligraphy and drawing. 2. You can modify how you hold the pen and whether you put your hand down on the page. But when using a dip pen (or a fountain pen), try not to put the heel of your hand on the paper anyway. Hope this helps.

    love inking, I use both caligulary inks and Acrylic inks. Pen for line, Brush for painting, excellent companion to water colour paint. Thanks for the tutorial, always handy to brush up (no pun intended lol) on skills and to learn new ones. That's the great thing about art, there's always something new to learn

    Just discovered you. And wished to God you were my teacher years ago. I'm old(senior). I gave up on art because of boring teachers. The last two years since my retirement I've come back. And yes still boring teachers. But you young lady, I can honestly say you are a rarity. Fun!! You actually are entertaining....and extremely informative....
