The whole perfectionist mentality is what was holding me back for sure. Once I got it into my head that nothing is perfect, and that my sketches and drawings evolve over the course of creating them, I found I became a lot more able to create things from my mind onto the paper. Thanks for the guide, I owe you a beer!

I just commented about this. I just sketched something with that thought in mind, and I was blown away at how good it looks.

After several years of leaving my passion for drawing, here I am, an 18-year-old who's trying to restore his passion. It's so hard for me to go back to drawing after I have been rejected when I was in 6th grade. I was so easily discouraged. Yes, I still know how to draw but there's a feeling inside me that I was left behind. I want to start over again and learn the basics, yet it really is hard to start something. Planning to finish this whole series, watching your other vids about color and stuffs and hoping I could bring back my passion for drawing :) Btw, this tutorial vids are cool. Very beginner friendly

I seriously doubt that any teacher ever said "You are rubbish at art". YOU told yourself that. They were telling you how to improve. Every single human in history started out as "Rubbish at art". Some wanted to learn. Others didn't.

Thank you for bringing this lesson down to the utmost beginner level. I am 64 years old and am starting to learn to draw. Most videos I have watched regarding "beginners" is so far past my knowledge and confidence level that I almost stopped before I even began because it was far too intimidating for novice me. Today, I will begin with my new found confidence to draw a circle with shading. Fantastic!

this was actually very helpful! i was hesitant to watch this and follow it because in the past i already knew this stuff and took a class on it but when i watched your video it reminded me that sometimes all you need to do is start from the basics to improve and this was so helpful. i was able to know better about this and even wrote a few notes to think back on when i progress

Whenever I asked other artists how do I get better at drawing, one of the worst pieces of advice I've been given was "Just draw/just practice" Well, I've been "just drawing" for about ten years and I'm still at an amateur level. What I meant was HOW do you practice? What techniques do you incorporate? What are the steps? To me, it's just a condescending way of saying "Figure it out on your own."

@SchaeferArt

Read drawing books, go to the library if possible. No need to even buy books. Read them, draw everything in them. Draw your surroundings. Learn to render form and light through shading - put the techniques in said books to use. Start from simple objects and build to complex. If you did anything else for 10 years, do you think you'd improve? It seems you should start evaluating what you're doing and try different things to solve the problem. Find ways to solve the problem. The internet is an amazing resource for books, videos, articles and all kinds of things on drawing. I'm sure you can use this to your advantage. I hope it goes well and you find what you're looking for. To be honest, this is my method, I did all of these things I mentioned above including drawing from life and my surroundings.

There is not a clear way at all. That's why they say "just practice". You need to find what you suck at first. It may be perspective, values or rendering. Read about the topic that's the most hard for you and just practice that, NOTHING ELSE. Then when you're decent at that fundamental, switch it up for another. The fundamentals of drawing are like a wheel, you keep rotating them and going back to them.

Hey man. Just wanted to say thank you for this series. It helped a lot in getting started. Drawing can be scary if you're in the wrong headspace and this made it easy.

I have wanted to learn to draw for a long time. I always held myself back. Recently, I have been pouring through books at the library and had no idea where to even start. Your tutorial makes something daunting into something that actually feels possible. Thank you

5 minutes in and I'm already much more comfortable drawing. "Don't comit" is the best piece of beginner advice I've heard yet!

I love how this doesnt already assume I know everything about drawing and that I know how to draw. Its taking it step by step and explaining what kind of pencils or materials you need what different things mean and that its taking it slow.

Exactly. My art teacher didn't even go over the types of pencils :(

Incredible!! Been wanting to learn since I was a child and always thought you had to basically be a natural at it. It's beautiful to see the science of it, as a programmer I love the componentization of each stroke and how it contributes to the overall picture or vision. Going to start sketching everything in my house lol

This video has inspired me to take up art again as a hobby. I remember when I was a 6-7 year old kid, I would draw and colour with colour pastels from Faber-Castell. The way you explained everything was beautiful, from the tools, to the mindset for drawing/sketching and finally how to sketch. I would dub this tutorial ‘ The best one on youtube ‘ because I don’t want to create any bias or anything in the replies section…

It’s amazing that this video is still helping people after 7 years

I'm in my fifties and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone explain how to sketch. Thanks to that explanation, for the first time since I was a small child, I'm enjoying the process of drawing.

I have always been someone who just like drawing and always get appreciated for that but coming to think of it I never learned it from anyone neither I know the basics which is why there is always something missing in my art work, was trying to find someone who can help me correct my mistakes and finally I got someone who actually tell the basics thank you so much

If your drawing doesnt looks good, remember that. "Every line you draw, wasnt a waste. It only makes you better and lets you improve."

A few years ago I bought a wacom tablet then realized I had no experience with drawing.I put my tablet up after messing with it for only a week(regretting my perchuse). I started getting bored lately and came across your video it encouraged me to buy the art supplies you recommneded on your caption bellow the video they coming tomorrow. This will be my first journey into actual hand drawn art. Can't wait and plan to follow along your videos. People like you who put time into your day to teach new people freely is a blessing we have the internet.

I suggest learning to draw lines and curves and at lest one or two sketches daily. When I practice, I try to do at least 2 hours of practice and I'm proud to say that I've been able to do that pretty well. And if there's anything I can say that I've been able to actually pick up, its having fun drawing for the first time with what I try to sketch. Before I'd just get upset but now I can smile and laugh as I learn. So yeah. Sketches,line practice and maybe pick up some pins as well, And I recommend going to drawabox.com. That's where I've been going for a while now.

Just wanna say that his voice is incredibly reassuring and really gets me motivated to draw and to be okay with the inevitable fact that its okay to mess up.

I've been drawing stuff on my own for many years, never had any kind of "training". So far this stuff is easy and comes naturally to me.

"Don't be commited" is the best piece of advice I've ever heard. Wnen I wanted to learn to draw a year ago or so, I watched some russian tutorial (I'm from Ukraine), and the first thing they said that needs to be learned is to draw a decent circle. The way they presented it was so that you must commit it. I drew few dozens of circles, could not feel the improvement and gave up on that. Now you say to do the very opposite thing, and I drav a decent circle on my first attempt. The first thing I needed to learn was to scetch stuff, not to make commited lines. This is incredible. Thank you for making this masterpiece.

@SchaeferArt

2 жыл бұрын

I think there's a place and a time, but you have to be more confident to commit. And to be confident you need a lot of practice and failing and trying etc.. HOpe that makes sense.

The video is pure genius. I had no idea that I should not be drawing hard lines. This video really gave me a massive boost

I've always used different forms of art as an expression of myself my whole life. A couple years ago, after several medical problems, I had a stroke. I was only 48. I've been terrified to begin again for fear of what I might not remember. This online tutorial was amazingly effective at getting me back to holding my tools. Also, assuming I know nothing, I don't have to feel stupid if I can't remember something I learned in freshman art. Thank you for a place to begin again.

My fatal flaw has always been perfectionism when I tried to learn how to draw, getting rid of that is a great tip and something I never thought to do.

This is great! I’m in an drawing class for school right now and it baffles me that they didn’t even teach the “don’t commit” technique before getting into shadows and shading. Just that one piece of advice could have saved me a lot of time 😅 Thanks!

I never understood what the point of sketching was, I thought It just looked messy so I always fully committed. I really wanted to draw but because of my hard commits it always looked trashy so I never could make an habit. Now at 21 years old you just explained _why_ people sketch. Not to make random lines but *'to find the right line within the lines'* and the with vs without sketch, for the first time I tried the damn thing and I've just drawn a perfect circle for the first time in my life and it feels amazing.. I feel so ashamed. You have my thanks dude!
