I so badly wish I could include the drawing I just completed. I followed along & then challenged myself to try drawing an apple, using the same 3 step method. I am in complete awe of what I just created. Thank you so much for posting!

"Drawing from the Right Side of Your Brain" is an amazingly helpful book. Blind contour drawings are one of the fastest ways to get your right side engaged. Before knowing this, my "good days" and "bad days" were random. Some days things clicked, other days nothing came out right. Knowing this helped me teach elementary students as well. I knew ways to transition them for different skills that primarily used one side or needed both working together. "Brain gym" was exercises that crossed the midline of the body, helping both sides of the brain engage for the task ahead.

Your right brain and left brain are identacle there are no verified scientific studies that show that the left brain is more creative and the left is more logistical. I recommend doing research on how the 2 sides of the brain work, its really interesting and more people should know how there own body works!

Hbugg_. Do you know if the “Brain Gym books are still available from any source. Many years ago I had the opportunity to peruse a friend’s few “Brain Gym” books; but had no time other than that brief encounter. In my intermittent search over the years there has been no success. Thank you for any information you may have, or wish to convey. Coleen

Thank you for the video.Your videos are always helpful.

Thank you so much for uploading this video and thank you for not making the final hammer an intimidating masterpiece. It helps so much to know that even great artists sometimes draw simple things. These exercises were fun to do. 👍😊

Well done. I spent the last three years my 38 year teaching career, teaching high school art. My predecessor was very hard on the kids and impatient. They were relieved when i took over, i would demonstrate what we were going to do and break it into easy steps. I saw the confidence sore and the talent flourish in the kids. I never believed in critiques, these hurt the kids.

Your videos always delight me. I've joined two years in a row, but I still haven't tried the classes! I show up for all the free Wednesday classes and pay for yearly membership because I want to support this channel!

Wow, thank you!

You're so good it is unreal, lately I just (practice, practice, practice) and hopefully it does me some good and I just about filled my first sketchbook...

Im high beginner level right now and the most important for me is how to hold the pencil/pen and be loose on your wrist. Also taper the strokes. That had much more impact than understanding of faces body proportions etc.

This is a great lesson that was both easy to understand and remember. Thank you!

Thanks for the tips and insights. It was a brand new insight to me that while drawing a blind contour to match the angle of your eyes with the angle of the pencil. One of those things that sounds so simple but is brand new information. Mind blown.

Amazing! That makes sense because when I color from a reference photo, I do much better. If I can see it, I can color it. Im trying to stretch my skills by coloring without a reference. Just memory or skill I picked up from past colorings.

Thank you for sharing the #1 Secret to Drawing, which is amazingly practical!

Thanks for this very informative video. I am a novice artist who started drawing during the COVID pandemic. What a wonderful way to start one's creative juices flowing.

Loved the drawing exercise. Thank you very much. It revealed a lot about drawing from memory.

Thanks, great job explaining to those of us who appreciate your teaching skills.

Great teaching! Thank you for sharing.

EXCELLENT! THANK YOU! WONDERFUL! INSTANTLY MAKES YOUR DRAWINGS BETTER!

Thanks for this class! And when you will return with the 45 min livestreams? They are SO good!

There are so many shapes ! Thanks this is awesome

Thank you. I’ll try this method.

Thank you for providing this information🙏🙏

I taught visual arts in high school. I used this method. From your imagination/memory draw a profile view of one of the shoes you are wearing. Then the blind contour line drawing. Finally, the 50% observation. Then I’d move on to have reproduce a complex line drawing of a scene with a person in it. To make the students focus on what they were drawing ( and keep their brains from telling them what they were seeing), I had them turn the reference image upside down. Quite a few students discovered that they could draw after all.

You are excellent teacher thank you.

Another great thing about pencils is that erasing can add a lot to the drawing as well. Cool video, thanks!

Remarkable tips. Thanks.

Oh I'm definitely going to try these exercises when I get off work

Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us

I am doing the Secrets to Drawing course. Just finished the 3 point perspective lesson. I have been really enjoying this course

Matt, this video is great. Although being a member already (this is a fantastic and outstanding program btw), I like to revisit your videos just for fun, practice and "don't forget"-reasons. I would like to encourage everyone who enjoy these videos on KZread to at least try out the membership program. Nothing to loose, but very much to win. Buddy

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks for that. Never thought of it this way.

You know, I always did this exercise with my drawing students, but I didn't understand all the reasons why. Thank you!

I'm glad that I found your post and I liked the drawing exercises and I want to thank you for that. That is right that we paint with our brain and I believe the difference between artists is unique vision that every one has. Every simple creation is a image or illusion that we have back in our mind which is known or unknown by our consciousness. You know what I mean! .we all copy the things exist. The way that we present it is different. 🎨🖌

This blew me away!I wish I could share my 1- memory, 2-blind one line and 3-50% observation pics here. The progression from someone who can't draw was mind-boggling.

Thanks for the video Matt, great video. 👍

POWERFUL Knowledge! Thanks! 🙏🏾♥️

Great teacher!

Thank you so much.

Obrigado pelas dicas 😊

I learned something new - thanks!

This was a great interesting and simple exercise. Thank you so much!

I think one secret to drawing, is the same as singing: to keep going when the initial results are less than satisfying, and refining your technique until it becomes natural to manifest what you're thinking.

Excellent and insightful tip. Thanks

thanks a lot! the methods blew my mind!

Excellent video! Thanks very much.

good teaching. thanks.

So simple...yet so powerful.

What a great exercise!

The secret of drawing is confidence and being constant, as long as you have those two things you don't need anything else, as someone who has been drawing professionally for almost 4 years i can say you need that to draw anything, make sure to always start with a sketch of what you wanna draw it doesn't matter if it looks shaky or wrong as long as it's just a sketch it doesn't matter also make sure the sketch is of a light color like light blue or violet so you can confidently draw over it with markers once the sketch is finished

thanks for the tutorial of this !!

I so love this thank you for your insightfulness

Thank you!

🙋 Thanks for the video.. I definitely needed it.

Facts, observation is really important, many dont do it correctly. Theres a difference when you truly “see” and understand what youre doing. Especially when youre trying to 100% copy a refrence :) take time to pause and step back and look

That was a fun exercise!

Great video lesson! Thanks.

I had taken a class many years ago and it was called Drawing with The Left Side of Brain, it was mind blowing how our brain stores the images.

Great class Thanks for posting it

this video is a piece of art. thank you

I just started drawing again about a month ago after 52 yrs. I entered into a contest where I spent 4 hours drawing a face and later a man from the minnesota art school wanted me to join them. while my parents wanted me to finish high school it did leave a lasting impression...

thank you so much of your videos' I can't stop watching your videos

Brilliant!

Wow your channel is amazing. All the subjects you talk about drawing is very good. I am a new subscriber!

Thanks for this video @Drawing & Painting - The Virtual Instructor I want to learn to draw good without copying and so I need your help but thank you do much for this video

Great advice + tips thanks

The blind contour applies to sculpting too, try sculpting with water-Clay inside a paper grocery bag while looking only at your model, it’s another great warmup tool

Thank you for this video.

I've always drawn fairly well but I've known people who can draw next level and it's been my experience that the better you can draw using observation the better you can draw.

There’s a huge difference between understanding and copying. Someone who understands what they’re doing can draw with or without reference and there is an authority and personal signature that is missing from the works of mere copyists.

Thank you for your video and channel. I just found you and shared this video on Pinterest.❤

Thank you very much!

Thank you

Thx, It will be useful for me to practice with it. :⁠-⁠)

Very true... I have steady hands and good at drawing but have a terrible mind when it comes to thinking in detail.

Great tutorial!❤

I think it's the part about "keep looking back at what you are drawing" that those of us who have never been good at drawing don't think to do. We look once, or just occasionally, then think that we are just incapable because what is on our paper doesn't look like what we had looked at (way too briefly). I've recently found that I don't look in enough detail, either. There is an art to seeing, as well as to drawing.

Awesome video. A real beginner here and I hope I can apply this to my drawings. I observed my hammer still doesn't look nearly as good as yours or the photo itself but I hope one day it can get there....

Very interesting
