Take a sketchbook with you everywhere, small or medium size and use it. At lunch or break leave your phone and quick sketch, no details, do as many as possible, when you are on the train or on the phone - more sketch. You'll instantly see where you need improvement and just work on it, let your hand and eye have a date, get to know each other, they will be friends.

@@niazhannanwatercolors Your tutorials really hammer home the fundamentals, and that's what gets people started. The simplicity of your figures is very encouraging, people will struggle with proportions, yours are sublime, but they will try. The head and feet take a while. You have talent but also are a skilled instructor and break down the elements that are important very clearly. Good job.

This is an absolutely brilliant tutorial - I've never been able to add figures with any success but my last few attempts following these guidelines have actually been believable - thank you!

Truly excellent tutorial. I have watched dozens of small figure tutorials and this one has made it so easy Start with this none and learn to add the detail later if you need it.

This is brilliant Niaz! Thanks for the demo and words of encouragement to move past fear! So helpful, you are a talented and generous artist.

Niaz You are Definitely "One Cool Dude!"😎👏🏼🥰Your Artistry is Enthralling! I have a Smile on My face throughoutthe ENTIRE video; and then seeing that Handsome little Boy Artist painting, 🎨🧑‍🎨at the end was priceless!😁🤗❤This video is SOOO Helpful, You are teaching Wonderfully well. I will Definitely continue to Practice; and follow all the advice You share! Thanks A Million Love!❤Peace & Blessings!🙏🏼🕊👑🙌🏼👸

Omg in 11 minutes, correctly for people now days. Just want instant by copying, but don't know how to process it. You are one of cool kids.

Thank you so much...your work is beautiful....

I've learnt more in three minutes with you than years with others!

Amazing tutorial, Niaz. I think that just by watching I am beginning to overcome my fear of painting human figures in watercolor. I can hardly wait to come home and try it all in practice. And also, I wouldn't mind to be another Niaz, whether the world needs one or not.

​Love this! ​@niazhannanwatercolors You instruct to keep all heads at the same level. Why is that? Wouldn't people with different heights have them at different levels? Is it a simplification thing or is it a perspective thing or a stylistic choice?

@niazhannanwatercolors

3 ай бұрын

Imagine you are standing on the street and your eyes look straight ahead that is called eye level. In this particular case our we are talking your eye level and you will see all the heads in almost a straight line. But then if you are standing on the terrace of a building perspective changes and people becomes just dots

Great demo. Thank you

I love Jim R and your paintings 😄

This is very helpful, I will paint it again and again to practice more. The gestural figures if people even closer like painting a street Cafe scene or sitting and talking on a park bench, these are hard. I can't seem to move beyond caricatures of people upclose enough to see features, hands, etc., but not close enough to be detailed portraits.

Thank you. Very wonderful

Hi Niaz! Yours are the best videos I've watched for figure drawing in watercolour! You really have this little something that extracts from us that fear(that all beginners normally have)& adds compelling motivation, particularly when you set challenges to us! As a senior citizen, having keen interest in art,yet incredibly fearful of" committing mistakes", I convey all my best wishes to you as a young and very talented artist/watercolourist in your career! Warmest regards from Mauritius!
