Thanks Lou, you’re very inspiring, I don’t normally work like you but you do encourage me to do other things 🤗

Thanks so much! I’m sure we all work quite differently, I find it interesting how others approach it.

Oooh, I love the scribbly one 👍🏼

I like the simplified version of things because I tend toward a short attention span. I do appreciate the lengths you go to to get great results. Thanks so much!

Excellent idea and a great help. I've always been quite good at copying things but find it hard to modify, simplify and add my own personality to drawings. Funnily enough, I was looking at some pine cones on my mantelpiece, this morning and vaguely wondering if it would be possible to draw one. Now I know!

So glad it was helpful! Good luck with the pine one drawing if you give it a go!

I found this really interesting Lou. I rarely use a pencil or pen. When I draw with paint I find it forces me to simplify. But although I prefer a painterly approach, I realise that's not everyone's flavour . - Pabi in Sheffield 🎨💝 👋

That’s interesting, I find drawing with paint hard but wonder if I should try it more. Relying on a pencil sketch can definitely be a comfort zone thing.

@@LouDavis Maybe, but I believe there's nothing wrong with comfort zones. Life is hard enough 😉😀💐

First!

Excellent video and series idea. ❤ I find realistic drawing very easy but I struggle with simplifying the shapes as my mind somehow sees it as an error. The times I manage to tell myself to just go for it and not think, I have managed to produce stuff that I really like. It's the same for drawing and painting. So such videos are an excellent help for people like me.

That’s an interesting surface you’re painting on. Are you sat on the floor? It looks really beautiful!

Not sat on the floor no! It’s a vinyl photography backdrop. I’ve got a few so I can change up the look of videos and they wipe clean from paint and ink nicely.

I was curious about the scribble version… why not follow your more spaced out general plan… keeping loose spaces between the seeds?

@LouDavis

Not sure I can remember now, but probably because when scribbling, the pen has more of a mind of its own!

I've always loved pinecones. And now it is easier for me. Thank you. 🙏🏻🧡 I have immense trouble drawing and painting simplified. I tend to, but always end up with a lot of detail. I guess that is just my style. I find my own art looks "unfinished" otherwise...but find others simplified artwork finished. Isn't that strange? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@LouDavis

I think we have a different relationship with our own art, might be interesting to see how others find your ‘unfinished’ works. I love detail so I’m always tempted to keep adding more and more.

@@LouDavis Same. Others don't see the "flaws" in our work. They don't know what it was supposed to like...and that is sometimes a relief 🤭 although I often "apologise for my "flaws".
