Going to practice this immediately. Thank you.

Very enlightening

I find this type of two coloured drawing really appealing. I remember asking you on a previous video what this style was called and I have been obsessed with it ever since :)

I'm giving this a go right now. Thanks

Never done this, but I bet it is a terrific warm-up exercise. And fun to look as too!

Yes it’s really fun

I just realized I have never sketched with a continuous line 👀 This a simple and great example of drawing foreground&background. Seems easily understandable ☺️

Yay!! This is awesome and by doing this idea you've taught me I have improved so much. Thank you 😊

That’s great!

Amazing!!

Thank you Koosje, I’ve not tried this style before but I’ll definitely give it a go, thank you very much.

Love this Koosje, and love continuous line❤

I haven't tried to drink pencil shavings, but I have dipped my watercolor brush into my tea cup instead of the water jar. lol

OMG! That is the same thing I do with that same pencil! I buy them in bulk. They are wonderful!

I know right?

Sometimes I wash my brush in my coffee mug.

Another great video! I’ll give it a try - but what’s the reason for the continuous line? If I draw foreground and background as usual (lifting the pencil) would it be a different exercise? What would I miss? Anyway, I tried your suggestion of drawing from a live street camera the other day… boy, was that different for me!! The result was not a masterpiece but I think it really pushed me out of my comfort zone. Thanks! 😊

Yes it would be kind of a different exercise. The continuous line keeps you going and distracts you from details and “the big scene” because you’re constantly figuring out how to get from one shape to the other. But of course you can try without the continuous line. And hurray for stepping out of your comfort zone!

Ouch on the pencil shaving beverage! 😅 I thought paint water was bad. Would you paint over a continuous line drawing? Can I ask for tips on how to “correct” my drawing that tends to lean on one side even though I draw according to relationships between edges, and my eyes THINk that I have captured the perspective right. I don’t see the “mistake” until I walk away or I take a photo to compare. Also, would love to get tips on how you paint structures that are hollow (eg: a big shed with roof and stilts to support)? The stilts/pillars are narrow that I cant paint clean lines. And I left out the background to simplify the sketch but The background is visible behind the open shed.

Yeah you can paint over a continuous line. Just don’t drink the paint water! Is it a bad thing if things lean towards one side a little? If you know this happens each time, perhaps ‘correct course’ as you go and exaggerate a little towards the other side. Also, pause to see where you’re at so you can see if things are out of perspective and you can course correct as you go. Step away from the drawing every so often for just a few moments to look and see the relationships and propositions in your subject.
