Your video saved me so much, not only is your voice so soothing but your choice of words are very encouraging and reassuring us beginners. I also like to mention how amazing it is that you actually showed a live footage of you sketching and refining the lines, which made me understood how to draw it better. Thank you, definitely gave this video a like 👍

    When i was young and had "picture/drawing" classes in school, my teacher gave us box with magazines and told us to take page from this magazine and draw one of the persons, he also told us to draw the picture upside down ,because its easier for the "left and right side of the brain to work together this way" , he said the reason its tough to draw something is because the both sides of the brains arent connected yet while drawing, once they are- it becomes easier to see details and get it down on paper. Very interesting way of thinking and he was a VERY good teacher!

    OMG! THIS has just helped seal the whole concept that: "Drawing is basically made up of shapes..." You couldn't have shown a better introductory example ad that pawn. I cannot wait to try this. I started an art class, supposedly fir beginners - but it wasn't. I will stick with tutorials such as this, and just practice, practice practice. Thank you. You are an awesome drawer - but more importantly, for me, a brilliant teacher (the two do not always go together, sadly...).

    It really helped, but my problem is that you use tools which only works on digital art, and it only works on references. I guess it doesn’t matter if you can mostly only draw references, but when you draw the boxes on the dragon for example: it’s basically just tracing, and tracing is the 1 thing I don’t want to be learning.

    Not that I know of. However, the important thing is to practice breaking down/simplifying your reference image into basic shapes on your own. That will make you a better artist and soon it will become second nature for you, it will become easier with practice. Best wishes!
