Starting to Draw? PART 2: Two Things to Practice
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is the second of my art tutorials on starting to draw for absolute beginners. In this video I explain two things you need to practice to make your drawings more creative and interesting. Firstly we look at curves. Drawing tight curves close together can suggest an object is round. I show how you can use this drawing technique to draw a tree, making the tree look three dimensional.
The second technique is flicking. I explain how this has to done boldly. Grass grows upwards so the flicks have to be upwards. Flicks used for the branches have to be drawn boldly to look effective.
This video is aimed at beginners, students and anyone else wanting to improve their drawing skills.

Wow, never had my videos described as 'wholesome' before. Cheers Paul
I like the fact that in this tutorial the drawing is pretty much real time and not sped up. I understand that sometimes it has to be done that way for repetitive tasks, like filling in, but at times when I try to duplicate and/or practice the exercise I tend to rush it unrealistically, subconsciously forgetting that it is not real time.

Mr. Priestly, I have to say THANK YOU a "million" times---because of the ease of your lessons, I'm relearning to draw after a massive injury to my right shoulder (my dominant hand and arm, of course!), an injury that could not at the time it was incurred, nor can be now, operated on. I've had to relearn to use my arm in a way that just isn't normal, and really thought I would have to either give up on drawing altogether (UNTHINKABLE! UNACCEPTABLE!), or would have to deal with the immense pain that my usual arm position required. I don't know why, but since following your lessons, I've realized that I don't have to have my arm in that particular position, and that the old way I was taught wasn't at all necessary in order to draw again. In other words, sir, your lessons have given me much happiness and joy as I relearn to draw, just modifying my arm position (it looks weird to anyone watching, so I never let anyone watch me---I spend too much time defending myself, and that's a waste of creative time). I'm drawing every day now, mostly from your lessons, and am "having a "ball"" doing so. Thank you again, sir, and I look forward to getting into more lessons daily (I save everything I find that you've posted so that I have a very decent library to refer to).

I think you know where the future lies. 1. There is no such thing as 'normal' - the way you draw is the way you draw, be proud of your achievement of drawing again. 2. 'I spend too much time defending myself, and that's a waste of creative time.' So don't defend yourself anymore, it's not a problem - enjoy the drawing. Cheers Paul
All of your videos really helps me a lot..

I've started drawing like a week ago! going back and forth not knowing where to focus , I've bought a sketch book and some pencils,and i started to sketch some rocks , trees and practicing on the shadow perspective , but what i really wanted is : the correct way to hold your pencil ✏️ bcs that's how u improve your drawings , u have to build your "muscle memory" by practicing a lot right? And u have no idea how happy i am rn , bcs i finally found someone talking about the correct way to hold the pencil 🙏🏻 u r a life saver and a great teacher tbh ❤️ your videos are amazing too 👏🏻 Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Hi, I love your tutorials :) I just started to learn sketching. I was never good at it and literally my drawing looked like some monkey was drawing it. Now it's getting better after week of everyday practise and that is thank to you. My question is: is it ok that I use lot of construction lines and some axes and measurement lines to make sketch look better? I can't just draw it on first like you :)
