The crystal ball says that you are going to be a great artist!
Today I’ll teach you to draw a crystal or glass sphere in third dimension. You’ll learn to draw transparent and circular body’s, applying different technics of shadowing and illumination. Also, you’ll learn to create the sensation of volume and the illusion that the sphere would pop out of the paper.

    Leonardo ... you are very talented, and your English is good. You explain what you are doing very well, however, I would like to hear more of WHY you do certain things. For instance, why are there streaky shadows on your crystal ball? It will help your audience develop their artistic sight and, instead of imitating your drawing, draw their own creations. Thank you ... I enjoy your tutorials!

    I've just discovered your tutorials and I absolutely LOVE THEM!!! You have definitely inspired me to start studying sketching again. KZread is a wonderful tool for an instructor and a student. I am wondering what kinds of brushes are needed to smudge the pencil lead? Does it matter as long as it smudges? I've been known to be creative by substituting items needed to do certain things so I was just wondering how important it is to use a specific brush or could I make do with anything that works? This is probably a question for another video but what is the best way to protect a sketch once it is completed? I've found that leaving mine in my sketch book tends to smudge when I don't want them to smudge. Thanks! :)

    I realise this was posted 3 weeks ago but you either use photo reference, the actual object or you draw an arrow to show the direction the light is travelling and use that to decide where to put everything. You also need a general knowledge of how light and shadow forms on objects in order to colour this realistically. Very experienced artists do this in their heads which is why it sometimes looks like they're just doing it from scratch.

    I don't like when people say things like "im so glad to see you" in a video, because a. you cant see me, so why say you can? It's disingenuous. and b. I really don't think you care if i'm here or not, you just want the views. Nice video though, it's just that forced politeness puts me on edge.

    I guess his main goal is sharing his talent and skills rather than getting views in any unfair way...like using nudity pictures as a freeze frame. So why does politeness there seem strange? Maybe not the best expression, but nice anyway. What for to be so mean.

    why pick on someone helping artists get better at drawing. also enforcing politeness is far far far positive that a stupid pointless comment of total negativeness. The point being "Always try to be polite even if you are not.! & Try to criticize the drawing not the person drawing it, because that's objectiveness " better enough= do not comment and enjoy the video .
