- DRAW WHAT YOU SEE - A Realistic Drawing Technique
I frequently get asked about the technique I have when it comes to drawing so I have created this video to try and offer some insight into the process. Its as simple as drawing what you see, but its taken a lot of time and practice. I hope you can take something away from this short side video.

you have a lot of Patience
Symphony Rose gold patience is the key to masterpiece
Bad Bitch Can’t relate!😂😂😂
In my art class, we were doing a Chuck Close inspired piece, where we had to draw ourselves. My art teacher always said to our class to "Draw what you see and not what you know."
Glurp Bot So just directly copy what you see without putting any imagination or thought? Um, that's bad advice. 😂
Arii. It means to really just draw what you see and not what you know the object to be. If your trying to draw an apple and you focus on the fact that it's an apple your not going to get accurate lines and proportion. The tip is more of a realism drawing thing. But I agree with you if you are trying to add the elements of creativity that aren't on normal apples.
That's what our arts teacher also said to us. It became really helpful😊
LOL 😂 mine always said "draw what you see, not what you think you see."
@@nine-vi7rw No, that actually is perfect advice. If you draw what you think you see, then you won't get it perfectly accurate.
I try this technique all the time however there is some type of communication issue between my eyes and my hand!
Yeah hand eye coordination takes a lot of practice and time
I saw a round but I draw a square yope you defenitly not the only one
ozshell72 {Miss.Chelle.Aus} I’m with you
{Miss.Chelle.Aus} you and me broh
{Miss.Chelle.Aus} same, also i have bad eyesight, i just need to try harder
you gotta have some good eyes for all that detail lol it's like he's a human printer
Good expression for your observation, very good.
Ray lee 😁😁
Ray lee
Good brain too
it's just patience
You're so good it's scary
Jesus bro that takes so much time. Looks great, but id honestly get bored if i tried to draw like this. I just use pen and ink and let my shading hint at extra detail.
Joe Savage I know bro, takes forever but I like the results. Pen drawing is great, but every mark you put down is permanent haha
Thats what makes it so special
For some reason I can draw really well with a reference but without a reference my mind just goes absolutely blank.
MeNeverland 29 thats prettt normal though! same thing happened to me i just had to get out of my comfort zone and keep practicing without it once in a while for example i alwayd try and see the geometrical shape un human anatomy to be able to draw it without any reference
Keeep practicing from your imagination! If you ignore it and stick with "copying" photographs then your visual memory will barely improve.
Same here 😂😂
DEE Because you’re just copying lines instead of understanding what are the foundations, structure and etc. behind the drawing/reference.
It’s not a problem imo different people will tell you different things but the most important is that you continue drawing
I always did it that way and thought that was normal. Great drawings like wow I'm speechless
Yodayameart only
This is not realistic draw but real real real realistic draw.. Awesome man I like it. Want see more like this
more fun video hyper realism
MysteriousMustacheMan someone didn't get it😂
Kinda trippy how we both use the same style and method, always thought it was best to start from a point and go from there. Can totally relate to how sometimes eye and hand coordination is very important n if one thing is slightly off it drastically changes the picture.
i see my mom for all my life but why do i still draw her as an oval
Maby she is an oval
Face proportions are wrong
I write this after I have been watching you for a while now, and this is surely the third or forth time I view this, and I am convinced it is the best approach. I tried some grid drawings and they make me get too separated from the texture and lines of the larger drawing. I dislike erasing guide lines too. I find I draw everything in a first pass using the mechanical pencil and then if there are values needing darkening, I use some larger Faber-Castell pencils 6B or so...to darken. Thank you Dan, your encouragement to draw more and more hits home with me and I’m increasing from a few hour a day to drawing constantly unless I’m painting. Keep on keeping on! STAY GREAT YOUNG MAN!
I used to draw lots as a kid, and started to get pretty 'average' at it once I reached my mid teens. This idea was always the biggest struggle, drawing what you see. I'm 'very slowly' getting back into basic drawing, just characters at the moment, but this idea still mystifies me. Thanks for discussing.
No words can describe how amazing your sketches are👌🏻 I wonder how much time goes into each sketch!!
Mr. Beardshaw The way you do that is absolutely amazing. Thankyou so much for sharing.
Your videos are great! I've been struggling a lot on how to the draw the highlight on a beard, but your method helped a lot in that regard.
Seeing your drawings inspires me and lets me think I can draw in any style
I actually do this too and have never heard of others doing, nor even knew it was considered a technique and just thought it was an odd way I'd draw things. So overall Thank you, this video makes me feel a little less odd. You're an incredible artist by the way!
You inspired me to quit drawing! ha ha
Diego QR Good, don't come back.
Diego QR good for you...?
Why does this have so many likes wtf
It's a good joke
Diego QR 😂😂😂😂shit by the way he is barelly drawing but he is creating a whole amazing thing...that's what makes me wanne quit😂
It's beautiful work, and I love your technique. largely because it's very, very close to the way I draw. Where I differ is that I sketch the outline of a small area, fill that area in, then sketch the outline of the next small area, and fill that in. I do this until the drawing is finished.
I also decide what grade or grades of pencil I'll need in that area. No matter how much pressure you use with a 2B, it will never be as dark as a 6B pencil used with the same pressure. And no matter how much pressure you use with a 6B, it will never be as black as an 8B under the same pressure. To get as much contrast as possible, the common way is to then switch off to a matt pencil, a carbon pencil, or a black Polychromos colored pencil. Or even a to a pastel pencil when only a very small area needs to be a deep, solid black with as little shine as you can get.
It's certainly possible to create great drawings with only one pencil, one grade, and you prove that. But more grades mean more contrast with less pressure, and contrast is what graphite is all about.
I love to get down to the fine details. This is awesome.
crazy awesome... wow...
Amazing work Dan! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I have always loved art and drawing, but I've only started to get serious about it. I draw mainly portraits, and the things I struggle with is getting the correct values, and proportions. I'm fairly young, though I don't want to reveal my age. Not on RUclips, anyways. I feel that if I can get the proportions right, I can upgrade my drawings a lot. I always get so sad that I can't draw well, but then I see you and hear your advice and you inspire me again. I don't know how or why, but it helps me keep going. Right now, my drawings are far from mediocre, but I hope to get better. Thank you very much for helping to keep me inspired!
Your focus is amazing!!
that is amazing wow!!!
From my opinion everyone have their own way to draw...for those who does not know how to draw at all dont be discourage if ur cant draw..just be proud of urself on what r u capable of....strive hard even someone said that ur r not deserve to be an artist and prove them wrong..
This is amazing , I love the detail
You are an amazing artist. Love what you do ❤️
Wow! You have an unique style and some awesome work. Love it!
Omg I’ve never seen such detail you’re amazing 🤗
This video has really helped me to understand. Now first of all I've understood the "draw what you see" for awhile now but drawing the texture has always been something I don't really think about. Everytime I shade in something really dark it seemed to just look streaky and ew which is probably why I just paint and not draw so much lol. Now that I've seen what technique you use I see all the texture in your drawing and it has got me a little motivated to do what or at least something similar to what you do. Thanks a lot.
*OMG 😍😍😍 I look up to you now !*
The best I've seen in a long time. Getting into drawing this was the only thing it thought I went to in style. It's very good to a small to a larger scale. All of your work is completely detailed and how each one is cought in the moment. The way you see is all I've been saying about professional art work. The pencil is perfect for the work at hand. And learning how with best description well put into words. Many thanks and many blessings to this vid. Drawing what you see is a realistic drawing technique. I bet if we take up more ideas and think of the imaginative complex Gene and watch this video we would find that it's not all just artfull but what it seems and can even be like Dan. Awesome and Koo.
wow...I am really amazed. ..wat a talent u have.😃👌👌
I recognize that one drawing of Arnold doing curls! You are so right about loosing the composition and getting off track. I trace my outlines to start with. But i still quite often fiddle with something that just doesn't seem quite right, and end up "migrating" more more from the true composition. That is so unbelievably frustrating because you've spent hours getting that far, and i end up spend several more hours nudging such sublties, using my own pre-visualing.............which you just can't depend on most often.
Drawing what you SEE is excellent advice. Millions of tutorials out there and i've seen them all. Each trying to tell you how it's done using "techniques" and principles (aerial perspective etc). If you SEE it, just draw it and it takes care of the rest.
You have EXTREME Concentration!!! Good Job!!
Thank you for sharing how you see the world
This is crazy
😃😃 awesome...
man you're awesome and your technique is really unique and outstanding.
My high school art teacher always told me "draw what you see". After graduating , I just stopped drawing. Now, 10 years later , I'm starting over. I.... I am horrible at drawing but I'm going to keep at it.
Hi I am 12 years old artist
I am inspired of your video and I get a sheet of paper a pencil then I start making MASTERPIECE
Sketcha Mucha You can do it!
Your work is AMAZING! Thank you for share your process :)
awesome...................... it's fantastic........ 😘😘😘😘😘
You are amazing man..
This is the best method for sure! I think with enough patience, anyone can draw with reference. The real talent is drawing from your mind in my opinion!
I recently discoverded it’s the same god… damn... thing. There are is no Canvas, only imagination. once you realize this the only thing in your way is doubt once that’s gone you’ll be free.
offers a red pill.
@@shintori2808 hehe, interesting perspective!!! Maybe one day I'll figure it out :,)

Omg!!!!😀👌👌👏👏
I hear TheStreamJay music! 😍 I really hope one day I can draw like you.
Thank You So Much
❤️
you could literally stop anytime and it's already a legit drawing
YESSS! THIS is ME ! I mean, that's what my doodling looks like - mostly on newspaper pictures, filling in faces, what you now told me is called TEXTURE! Don't know why I didn't realise this myself?
Again Dan, thank you sincerely for your videos. (I don't think I've ever thanked anyone in RUclips other than being polite. ,)
You're really working hard but we all are tired.just seeing you draw like this
Awesome
This is amazing
Thanks
I am amazed by the difference between the model and my drawing because it’s where I am finding myself. It is more than resembling, and it is three dimensional : 2d drawing plus time in comparison to a photo at 1/1000 shutter speed.
Thank you. 🌹
Hey!!! I draw with this technique! I found relativism to be the best proportional sketcher. Example: if the nose on the picture is 1 cm wide and you want it to be bigger on your paper then you could x5 , then you x5 every measurement you get -the eyes , the ears - the ear distance from the eye etc..
And I’ve found that As ive practiced this I’ve become so much more competent at free handing proportions...
But like wise seeing and translating detail in a incredibly realistic and patient way is still something that I definitely need help on!!!
Wow interesting ty for sharing
I did this the other day, not to the extent you can do it. But it was my first attempt, with a very weak background in drawing. i was a doodler...but i looked at a statue of harley quinn, and then drew it on paper as a cartoon image, but then changed it to meet my needs. from spandex to leather with stitches. but then i shaded it with color pencils to look as if she was just standing somewhere, and the sun was not casting any particular lighting. but i was shocked..never did this..till after i have had weeks of just drawing random things from memory. so yeah ANYONE CAN DO WITH WITH TIME...and get really good at it too.
Very interesting! Would you mind sharing what type of mechanical pencil and lead you are using? Thank you for showing your technique.
Yeah sure Steve, It's 2B Pentel lead
Í believe he is using a zebra pencil. They are amazing.
Tempest Eve he is using a Uniball Kurutoga 0.5mm roulette mechanical pencil
Amazing!
i've dont that before and turn it into things the mind or my mind imagines. the eye is a very great tool to use
I am learning alot from ur vids sir
Respect from india
you deserve way more suscribers man
WOW...THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY HAS GIVING YOU A AMAZING GIFT. What you are doing with it makes Him smile to see you develop what and bring Him Glory. Weather or not you believe it. Jesus loves you. Keep up the awesome work.
I wouldnt have the patience for this. Looks awesome tho.
insane insane insane this is just a 😓😓😨😱👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thank You:)
Wow your drawing are good
WE HAVE THE SAME PENCIL!! Kuru toga is the best
theøneandønly it's a great piece of equipment!!
what point pecil and what lead please thanks the work is amazing
also what size and kind of paper used for the lion?
wow
I actually learned to draw this way
People usually start with simple shapes exactly because of the proportions, doing textures after the basics.
drawing a puzzle that waits to be discovered.practice makes perfect
That's what I do. I just watch and measure. It feels really vague, but it helps getting the work done
you have so relaxing voice
Very successful
😭 I feel like the only thing I learned is that you’re a badass at drawing
I'm gonna use this method while drawing my cat oh boy 😂
I tried the grid method today and I couldn't separate the squares from the whole. I have more success and fun doing free hand. it is nice to know some good artists do this. Maybe there is hope.
You're a god
Also what i have learned when u have been drawing for awhile. When your eyes start to see everything running together. Or what your trying to draw running together....then u should not only take abreak from what your drawing. But while your still drawing turn your drawing upside down and look from that persepective. Well I learned that in middle school. Lol
I draw everyday I used to draw about 2-5 drawings a day and I was doing everything but I wasn’t taking my time to make sure I put everything I saw onto the paper I didn’t understand that i have to draw all the lines but now I’ve got it and I finish one drawing and have time to start another drawing cause it’s takes hours to get every detail I’ve gotten better and learned from mistakes cause I draw everyday if you don’t draw at least everyday then you can’t improve as quickly as you’d want too
Oooooo myyyyyyy ggggooooddddd
Davincian level art
This is real art....you are practicing
What pencil do you use? It’s amazing! Not soo shiny or light like most hb-pencils and not too grainy (if that’s a word) like charcoal pencils.
perfect, i also draw, i know how is.
just imagining how much time this would take me.. whow! years probably.
Hi Dan. I love your video. I think animals and people are so advanced, I love drawing city I am beginner, how can I advance what should I focus on that you would recommend.
Super
