If you are a) able to draw perspective well b) able to draw to scale well c) able to duplicate shapes in perspective and to appropriate size you are probably an artist and can make things like this look great. My biggest obstacle to drawing like this is a, b and c..... my stuff looks weird because it doesn't fit reality... I envy those like Ian that can sit down and bang out a drawing/painting like this in 30-40 minutes.
Yep 💯, It's the A B C's. If not for them I would enjoy drawing/painting immensely 😢
It’s okay not to be good at those things, there’s nothing wrong with if you’re struggling with it. Every artist including Ian and people even more technical proficient than him has had to push through rough drawings and mistakes.
Please don’t let that stop you. Draw and paint what you like so it’s fun, play with reference, and play with perspective. You WILL get better.
It’s easy to compare our selves with others we admire, but remember they have been on their own unique journey and we don’t know just how many years and decades they have been drawing for. One thing is certain though, when they started they struggled too, and they doubted themselves too, and they asked if they’d be as good as the artists they looked up to. And they may still feel that way.
So don’t give up if you don’t like the way drawing came out. It’s progress. You’re getting closer and closer to where you want to be -And It will come. So make your journey fun for you and celebrate how much you’ve grown.
Keep making stuff and practicing perspective! You got his.
I’m so happy I found this artist, he is definitely my favorite.
Glad you enjoyed the Live Demo! :)
I have so enjoyed this workshop. And after trying Ian's tutorial on the vintage truck now 3 times, I am ready to tackle the boat. The colors are so vibrant and the instruction so clear. I can't wait to dive in. I even ran out and bought an acrylic rigger brush after hearing him talk about how much water it holds.
You can do it, Trish! 🧡
By far, Ian is one of the most creative artists with a unique style and ability to add soul to the subject with his choice of colours. Its amazing!
I have seen quite a few of Ian's videos. They're always amazing. Also he is a good teacher and inspiration for all esp. beginners.
The pretty interviewer (sorry didn't get the name) with a smile and pertinent questions helps in the education.
Thanks a million Ian! Keep going!
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for listening, Anthony!
Lovely
I very much enjoyed listening to Ian’s thought process. And to say his work is amazing, is a understatement.
He's amazing! Thank you for tuning in, Pam.
Lovely video! Great combo with Ian, one of my favorite RUclips artist and Noelia which is so cute and the best host!
Wow, thank you! 😍 Stay tuned for more!
I’m in awe of your talents , this is amazing x
Thank you for your lovely comment, Carol!
Wow, just beautiful, thank you for sharing with us your great talent!
Such a beautiful sketchbook
Thank you so much, Theresa! 🧡
Ian is an excellent educator with a distinct and simulating visual language ! 🙏
Isn't he just great?! 🧡
@@EtchrLab Artists are great educators who freely pass on their skill & wisdom but are rarely treasured enough in their lifetime - It is the passing of the years and reflection that bring about the realisation that great educators are our greatest currency ! 🙏
Gorgeous sketch scene and painting. Thank you Ian.
Thank you, Gloria! Keep your eyes peeled for more Live Demos, Mini Workshops, and Classes! 🧡
Thank you for posting it! It's very useful
You have new fans in Tennessee, USA, Ian. My wife and I LOVE your style!
We are glad to hear this, Tim! We hope to see you for more workshops and classes!
Stumbled across this one and what an eye opener. Certainly up for it and found the pen usage comments useful. Loved the technique for the water colour too, looks like I've been too frightened to try things. Looking forward to more. Cheers Ian.
Thank you so much Ken for watching! :) Hope you had fun!
Ian, I would love to see how you would tackle a landscape. Could it be possible you will do a course on that too? I love to paint landscapes and I love your style. It would be so great to see those two combined together.
Thank you for your suggestion! We will take note of this!
Fantastic. Thank you
Thank you for watching, Sandi! Keep your eyes peeled for more Live Demos, Mini Workshops, and Classes! 👀
❤جميل
I love Ian's work and what a lovely man!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for tuning in :-)
So excited. I purchased your book. It looks amazing
So great to hear! Thank you for watching the video.
Enjoyed the demonstration and chat. Love this Ian’s approach and outcomes 😊✍️🎨
Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks Silvano 😊
Hi Noelia - is there somewhere that I can view the final completed demonstration with the seagulls that Ian mentioned at today’s mini workshop. Cheers Silvano 🎨👌😊
Loved watching the linework process and surprised at the amount of pen and ink applied. My eyes feasted 🤩 but erg on the sound. I feel for you on that.
Thank you so much! We hope to see you for more Live Demos! 🧡
I ordered his book! Can’t wait to get it! Wish I could come to one of his classes! I’m in the US, so I will enjoy his book !
That's so exciting, Donna! Thanks for tuning in!
@@EtchrLab What book? Is there a link or title?
I SO enjoyed watching the beautiful drawing being created, but where did it go under all that paint?
Thank you.
amazing, I learned a lot from your videos - thanks.
We're glad to hear that! 😄
Amazing! Lovely colours and really like your line style!
Wasn't he just amazing?! 🧡
I really like the young woman's voice 😊
using ink and watercolor splashes is really trendy with 'urban sketchers', not sure that most even know it's derivative of Steadman.
I am in Canada. Where can I get his book? Not on Amazon that I can see.
Si on pouvait avoir des sous titres français, j'en serais ravie ! Comprendre vos explications .
When watercolors are put over water soluble markers how careful do you need to be not to effect or mess up the marker lines or shading?
Water soluble markers do not play well with other water media. You really need to avoid the water soluble linework when you're doing the watercolor part. Or do the linework after. I know you weren't asking me, but I have tried this and I know the answer.
what is the sketchbook are you using?
what paper do you use?
Why not use a hair drier?
Ian is usually so great to listen to. This audio is terrible.. I’ll have to listen when I don’t need headphones.
We are really sorry for the technical problem Lisa. Moving forward, we will make sure to resolve this issue for the benefit of our avid viewers. :)
Too bad about the sound ☹
So sorry for the technical issue Suzanne. We will make sure to resolve this issue. ::)
@@EtchrLab if Ian would wear a Headphone from a mobile phone with build in microphone, the problem with the sound should be solved.
Five oh nine
The camera is jumping all the time out of focus
