I have been searching high and low for a drawing tutorial from someone who doesn't assume I already know how to draw... And I think I found it. Thank you for reinforce the concept that we should enjoy and practice as much as possible. I can't wait to see the other videos.
Lovely to help you Leticia with your art. It is about having fun and enjoying creating new pieces of art. Enjoy & all the beast with your creative endeavours.
I started taking drawing seriously about a month ago and have since become obsessed with drawing, I thought I was weird for enjoying drawing circles and ellipses over and over again, it's nice to know someone as skilled as yourself did the same. Thanks for the videos, they have helped me to enjoy the process rather than obsess about perfection to the point I wasn't having fun.
Michael Dunleavy Thank you for your comment and I still enjoy drawing and all my art the same way - to have fun and produce something that I am pleased with and learn something new as I go along with each piece I produce. Glad to have helped and encouraged you in your drawing too. Have fun :D
I used to draw a lot when I was a kid but had a loss of direction. I also became discouraged when I started seeing other people's drawings and paintings. Somewhere over the years, I started making short stories but wanted to bring life to them and turn them into comics. I had the idea of creating characters but I was having a lot of issues with getting the body types together and detailing faces. I dropped the ball again and wanted to go back to the drawing board (hehe....art joke) on learning how to do character creation. I stumbled across your video and it really helps. Thanks so much for reminding me to "enjoy" drawing. My tenseness is gone now and I have an easier approach to drawing all sorts of things (including back grounds. Thanks so much! *subscribed*
+ChocKsic Thanks so much for your kind comments about my art tutorial vid. Glad to have helped you get back into your drawing and art. Enjoy creating your comic :)
Best Tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you sir. Your advice has taught me not to ever get frustrated at my artwork and to keep on practicing! If I ever get famous as a Full time animator, I will remember who motivated me back to art! Believe it!
Thank you so much for your kind comment and glad to have helped you a little in your artistic journey. Enjoy and keep practicing toward your goal of becoming a full time animator. Have a lot of fun.
when i was about 4-6 years old, i loved drawing houses and girls and trees. i used to think i could really draw well until i went to preschool and saw how better my classmates' works were. i became sad, and kind of gave up on drawing. now that i'm 13, still bad at drawing, perhaps i'll give it one last try thanks to this video. such a great help 💘
I was put off at school for the same reason. I'm 50 now and starting to try and learn. Keep it up you will have a great chance especially to pick it up again. Good luck.
+Penelope Cruz I hope you have carried on drawing - just enjoy it and get better over time. Sorry for the delay in replying as I only just got notified of your comment! I have been doing new 'How to Draw' videos using the characters out of the new 'Inside Out' film. I use them to show you how to have 'Joy' in your drawing. Not to get 'Angry' when things go wrong and you make mistakes (as I do sometimes too). To not have 'Sadness' when you art is going how you want it to. Not to be 'Fear'ful of of drawing new subjects and then finally don't get 'Disgusted' with your art. Joy, Anger and Sadness are online now. Then Fear and Disgust are coming in the next two weeks. So here are the links to the new vids - enjoy.

+theartofbilly thanks for that I'm still going trying faces. My idea I tried to think of the most memorable/beautiful actresses. Unoriginal but Audrey Hepburn seemed a good muse. At least first drawing looks like a woman. Thanks both for the encouragement.
Hi Billy, I am an artist and have also written a couple of books on the subject, but I must say 'Snap' with your ideas and mine. You are like a wonderful breath of fresh air and a great teacher. Now entering into my 85th year, I honestly cannot remember when I started, but my Dear Mother said I was drawing well by the age of two. (Think that may have been my Dear Mothers pride), but I did sell my first drawing at age eleven. Whatever I draw or paint, the thrill has never left me, even though I may be disappointed by the finished result lol. Every success to you Billy.
Thank you Daniel for your kind words about my art tutorial. I am only just past half way in my artistic journey compared to your lifelong legacy. That is so lovely what you have commented on here. I have the thoughts of 'Can I still do this?...' every time I get to a new piece. We are always wanting to do better and improve in our art. Thank you again so much for your kind words and continued success to you with your art too. I say to many folks that it is a lifelong journey and your life is testimony to that. Kind regards, Billy
@@theartofbilly Hi Billy obviously a 'Do It Now' man like myself, as my dear Grandfather taught me. Your comments are greatly appreciated and I look forward to more videos from you. I have been asked so many times to do some videos, but alas, most of the technology passes over my head. I am okay with emails and posting artwork on line, but that is it. I do not have a website either, but a well known artist once said 'You are the original organic artist" Which I took as a compliment (hope it was lol and this has stuck). This is because I do not measure whatever I draw and paint and use only the three primaries. My book Why Measure? Only came about from my live classes, where a high number of first time students had an Eureka moment and requested it in book form. The book itself is bad in every way Except it does what it says on the tin, Providing you work the method and exercises and not just read it. Sadly, the three local galleries where I was exhibiting and teaching have now closed and I have not the energy or heart to look for replacements, so for the last two years, financially, has been quite a drop, although I had a very successful holiday in Spain October last year with nine portrait commissions in the week I was there. Sorry Billy ,I rattle on, please forgive me. Would really be great to meet you in person one day. Sincerely, Daniel McGowan
It sounds like you have had a very busy time in your many years of art Daniel. Especially while on holiday!!! I always thought holidays were a time to 'knock off'. All fun though in art :)
I was found out learning these shapes & not focusing on whole image painting & doing it in pencil first & shade in. Now seeing those shapes in everything so tyvm & just keep doing more until like “muscle memory” & great idea using paper ads to go around to learn! Ty!!
It's been a decade since I haven't do drawing. It seems to me that I dont know how to do it again. Now I'm watching this tutorial, it makes me feel to try it once again. Thank you.
Its like i tell myself im not progressing but anytime I watch these videos its literally everything I've done on my own. It inspires me, but i never know what to draw so i just have books full of loose quick random nonsense. Some stuff looks good some doesnt. I just tell myself to keep pushing. I hate the days when i mentally block myself from creating because im just frustrated
I didn't know how to approach learning to draw, until I saw this tutorial. Draw the outlines then fill in the details, it makes perfect sense. I'm fully confident and ready to dive in. Thanks
I thought this was a spectacular tutorial. You offered very simple tips, yet they were so mind blowing that it actually helped me a lot. Drawing the shapes in magazines/pics is such a great idea. I'm about to do it right now. Thanks so much!
Hello Billy, I really appreciate your videos especially this one. This really unlocked myself from so many other "tutorials" which were trying to teach people following specific routines. I could not even start to draw with these videos. The most important thing is to pick up your pen and start! I really learnt that KEY thing from your video. Thank you so much!
Im leaving this comment as marker on the day I was inspired to start drawing (seriously) and as a reminder as to who helped me when I was still learning the fundamentals of drawing. I hope this endeavor of mine keep burning for many years to come. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Thank you Beatriz. Enjoy your drawing and there are now over 100 videos in my 'How to Draw' playlist. How to Draw Dug from the Early Man Aardman Animation Movie voiced by Eddie Redmayne (100+ How to Draw videos playlist link starting with Dug) ruclips.net/video/_RnyN-gjAYM/видео.html
I was drawing since I was a little boy but I stopped because of stupid reasons, I used to draw Characters out of comics like Captain America, Hulk, Thor, etc. but all those talent I had, was lost when I stopped. I'm starting to devote myself to drawing again to remove all the bad habits I got used to doing, and your tutorial surely helped me get back. Thanks man.
Thank you Paul for your kind comments about my drawing tutorial. Enjoy your art into the future and have fun with your drawing. I have lots of cartoon characters on my 'How to Draw' playlist showing all these techniques too.
You have no idea how helpful this was...I'm gonna practice my shapes right now. I'll also make sure to stuck around for some other helpful tips from you. Thanks so much.
Taking the local paper and drawing over the shapes to get your hand and eye working together ... fantastic piece of advice for beginners. Love that suggestion. Great video, thanks.
+Chris Hettinger Thanks for your kind comment about my drawing tutorial vid Chris. It is my pleasure to be able to help folks with simple art suggestions. Drawing over newspaper and magazine photos was something I did in my teens - just seemed a good idea and works really well. Have fun with your art :)
Thank you for your kind comment. I started drawing aged about 7 and that is what I have focused on most of my life. Just have fun and enjoy your drawing and aim to get better with each piece of art you produce. It is a fun process.
I love how down to earth and real you are, I am rubbish at drawing but your simple explanations and just your good helping attitude. I love the drawings in your sketch book and I hope I will some day be as good as you. I’m not exaggerating when I say your video has inspired me to just grab a sketch book and practice. Great vid thanks! (Love the Guy Martin sketches they look so realistic!)
I've watched 5 tutorials for very beginning drawing, and this is the best. I really like how you implement the tips very quickly, and show the complete project. I liked the crow on the fence. I never thought to start by tracing things, that's an awesome tip that I'm going to use! This is great. Subscribed!

I want to thank you sir for this video. I'm old lady determine to draw something better than stick figures.I can get lost looking at artist drawings and paintings. I get that little voice saying Cynthia you can do this. Practice. You answer questions, I have and make sense of what I'm seeing. I will doodle, and draw.

This was fantastic. Just what I needed & I love your enthusiasm & joy in sharing your journey & great basic tips. I used to draw but didn't know what I was doing; just used a reference image & hoped! Now I have pencil 'squiggles over every piece of paper I write on: still hoping! & now, more structured approach in understanding-there is hope! thank you!!
Sir, thank you so much! I've been watching some video tutorials and the examples were all so hard to pull off, until I stumbled upon this video and realized that if I just break an object into different shapes and then connect them, I will essentially create the object. Such a strong realization. Thank you.
IV just started to draw at the age of 27, my areas of interest would be fishing, outdoors/scenery and gaming characters. Really like the idea of breaking things down into shapes, iv started to draw one thing everyday, but a random item that way I'm focusing on all areas not just things I know I can draw
This was the best intro vid! I just bought a 2b and 4b pencil and a sketch book- no more scrap paper! So can stick all my randoms in there!! Thanks for the encouragement :)
This comment is a little late, but I'd like to thank you. I'm not the best at art, but I've been looking to improve. I've watched a lot of videos on drawing, but this one just really got to me. I've learned a bunch from this video. Thank you sir.
Hey!!! Thanks a ton Mr Billy... I'm NOT a drawer but certainly loved your work and your a true genius... Your attitude and honesty is valuable. Thank You So Much Have nice time ahead.
Thanks for your kind comments about my art video tutorial. Really glad it has helped. you. Enjoy your drawings and my future how to draw and art time-lapse films.
yes drawing in a fun way!! I loved art classes in grade school but dropped it because I hated having to conform-I wanted to draw what I wanted and have tons of these boxes and circles in my school notes...I am going to give it another try now!

Thanks for your kind comments about my video. Glad to have helped you with your art. Feel free to share it nicely with your art teacher and other students 👍✏️
just wanted to say thanks man. I watch lots of tutorials and I tend to get lost in the technique they are trying to teach. This was the one that enabled me to relax and just get into the sketch. I wound up going down a rabbit hole of sketching a kitchen timer. I like how it came out. AND I had fun doing it.
My pleasure and lovely to help you with your drawing and glad that your drawing of a kitchen timer went well. Have a lot of fun with your future art ✍️

Thank you so much for your kind words about my drawing tutorial. Glad to have helped you with your drawing and enjoyment of art a little. Have fun with your art and music :)
Pencil has been my best friend for years and it will be forever . Though , i sometimes get frustrated when i see someone drawing better than me but still there is a hope of doing more.

hi. I’m really glad I found your video. I’m left handed too. I drew since i was a kid and not know any basic of sketch. I’m 31 now and try to follow my childhood talent.My problem is how to hold pencil technically with left hand.You video give me strength. thank you from the bottom of my heart

Really glad to have helped you with your drawing. I learned these techniques over years as a teenager and it is a pleasure to share them. Have fun drawing in the future.
I’m 21 and want to get into drawing but I was overwhelmed on where to start so I never actually do anything, but this video out of all the others gives me inspiration to start simple and keep working. Thank you
Glad to have helped and encouraged you with your art and drawing. Have a lot of fun. I just picked up my pencils last night at about 10:30 pm and did a drawing for fun (a portrait of Ant Middleton ex SBS Special Forces Soldier and posted it on social media). I so enjoyed it.
Thank you so much! Very useful video and pieces of advice, for me, a beginner, it has veen very very interesting and I'm looking forward to putting it into practice!
WOW. Im amazed that i finaly found a video that actually explains from 0 how to draw, the other videos just explained in a way i couldnt understand bc of the terms they use, but this is the best video i found. Thanks for this video, literaly saved me in a crisis bc i didnt knew where to start

Absolutely loved this video, saved it for future reference. You have inspired me to make my mark on every peice of paper in sight, drawing bottles, remotes, fans, curtains even my neighbors house, tables, chairs, trees. I can't thank you enough for the past year i hd been looking at things and wondering where to start, this video cleared a lot of that up for me. On to the 2nd part now, thank you again, the years of practice show in the fluidity of your work, a skill i hope someday to attain.
Thanks Cody - enjoy your doodling - I still do nearly 4 decades into it. And I have used a neighbour's house too in a painting for a USA client once - your comment reminded me and made me smile :)
Really good tutorial,Im going to buy my first sketch book and you just gave me alot of good tips thanks,Im new at this it seems like nobody gives just tbe basics so your advice was really good!Im hoping you will do some more tutorials like this one soon,,it was well recieved,THANK YOU
+Jackie Rosario Pleasure to help - enjoy your drawing and check out all the 'How To Draw' videos in the playlist as you will see the techniques in action. My timeless of my drawings you see my full art come together too.
MY father was left handed and he was an excellent artist. He worked construction and never used his art skills for nothing more than fun. He did great drawings though.
@@theartofbilly it is a great video, although, because I am right handed, I felt very uncomfortable seeing it done with left hand, it is something with my brain, it is called "Cognitive fluency", marketers keep taking care of it in creating advertises and stuff. Maybe watching left handed people doing things with left hands will make it easier for me,
you're an absolute angel. I love drawing and I have been drawing for years now but my art teacher (best art teacher I've ever had) had gotten me so used to using the grid method (which is very time-consuming) that when it got time for me to start using freehand I just couldn't it just didn't feel right at all I would always be too tense and just put it aside to never work on it again. listening to this video and following through with all the tips and understanding shapes more really helped me and I just really want to thank you. this truly helped me a lot and it was such a good stress relief as well. sorry that this is so long I just had to get this out. (I just got out of high school so I still have a long journey ahead of me with art)
Hi Mario, Thank you for your lovely comment and glad to help you with your free drawing. Enjoy the years ahead. I have been drawing for 40+ years and I am still practicing and learning. I do teach folks the grid method for really complex subjects but for quick sketching (I have drawn musicians while they are playing live) this is a great way to get your basic drawing down. Have a lot of fun. Regards, Billy
no problem x) ,i see that you are too professinal, but i want to become a professinal too, but the different is that i,am more into Fantasy Creatures,Middle age knights and dragons and mythology,and enviorment design, does practicing basic shapes and doodling will help my drawing skill and dimensions to imrpove ? what do you advice. theartofbilly
+Azzoz Kaaki Yes learning to draw shapes and normal everyday objects will then help you to create any fantasy creature that you want to produce later. All the top fantasy artists use human or animal models to build up their fantasy subjects. So using a Rhinoceros for example to become an armoured battle animal that an Ogre would ride is a good thing for fantasy art. So drawing animals at a Zoo will help you to develop. Also learning to draw humans you can then 'add' or increase muscles and limbs to become whatever kind of creature you desire. Have fun with your art and all the best for your future career :)

I do a mixture of drawings on the spot and take photographs. Even very basic notes in a sketchbook if something specific needs to be remembered which you may miss in a photograph.
Your drawings are fantastic!! I am very inspired that you are left-handed!!! Just like me, but I find it difficult to follow Caligraphy and other tutorials when the person is right-handed, so this is fabulous to find a left-handed artist !!! YAHHHHHHH!!
I have no motivation to start learning how to draw until i seen your artworks! It’s so cool to reach that kind of sketching skills!! Thanks for inspiration
thank you so much ! I can actually learn to actually enjoy my drawing, I used to concentrate on one figure only and it frustrates me how it couldn't be fit or proportional.

Fantastic. Have a lot of fun drawing and doodling. Start simple with a mug or cup in front of you. Lots of objects around your house to draw quickly and progress from there ✍️👍
Yes..true😆😁
How’s it going?
What I do to overcome that is scribble on the first page, it’s relieving and all of the intimidation is gone

Michael Dunleavy Thank you for your comment and I still enjoy drawing and all my art the same way - to have fun and produce something that I am pleased with and learn something new as I go along with each piece I produce. Glad to have helped and encouraged you in your drawing too. Have fun :D
I used to draw a lot when I was a kid but had a loss of direction. I also became discouraged when I started seeing other people's drawings and paintings. Somewhere over the years, I started making short stories but wanted to bring life to them and turn them into comics. I had the idea of creating characters but I was having a lot of issues with getting the body types together and detailing faces. I dropped the ball again and wanted to go back to the drawing board (hehe....art joke) on learning how to do character creation. I stumbled across your video and it really helps. Thanks so much for reminding me to "enjoy" drawing. My tenseness is gone now and I have an easier approach to drawing all sorts of things (including back grounds. Thanks so much! *subscribed*
+ChocKsic Thanks so much for your kind comments about my art tutorial vid. Glad to have helped you get back into your drawing and art. Enjoy creating your comic :)
Same here ... and now i'm 18 and drawing after 3-4 years literally... i think last time i draw in class 8th when i had a drawing as a subject☺
s a m e
Same story for me 😔✋
hello
Best Tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you sir. Your advice has taught me not to ever get frustrated at my artwork and to keep on practicing!
If I ever get famous as a Full time animator, I will remember who motivated me back to art! Believe it!
will you also become hokage?
Who knows!... He he. Just great to help people with the basics of drawing ✏️👍😃
Blue Penguin m
yeah we must free our hands in drawing in this way we maybe could draw anything we want in the future with perfection
Thank you so much for your kind comment and glad to have helped you a little in your artistic journey. Enjoy and keep practicing toward your goal of becoming a full time animator. Have a lot of fun.
when i was about 4-6 years old, i loved drawing houses and girls and trees. i used to think i could really draw well until i went to preschool and saw how better my classmates' works were. i became sad, and kind of gave up on drawing. now that i'm 13, still bad at drawing, perhaps i'll give it one last try thanks to this video. such a great help 💘
I was put off at school for the same reason. I'm 50 now and starting to try and learn. Keep it up you will have a great chance especially to pick it up again. Good luck.
+Penelope Cruz I hope you have carried on drawing - just enjoy it and get better over time. Sorry for the delay in replying as I only just got notified of your comment!
I have been doing new 'How to Draw' videos using the characters out of the new 'Inside Out' film.
I use them to show you how to have 'Joy' in your drawing. Not to get 'Angry' when things go wrong and you make mistakes (as I do sometimes too). To not have 'Sadness' when you art is going how you want it to. Not to be 'Fear'ful of of drawing new subjects and then finally don't get 'Disgusted' with your art.
Joy, Anger and Sadness are online now. Then Fear and Disgust are coming in the next two weeks.
So here are the links to the new vids - enjoy.

+Big C Enjoy your drawing too Big C :)
+theartofbilly thanks for that I'm still going trying faces. My idea I tried to think of the most memorable/beautiful actresses. Unoriginal but Audrey Hepburn seemed a good muse. At least first drawing looks like a woman. Thanks both for the encouragement.
+Big C Fantastic and enjoy - saw an Audrey Hepburn piece of art while out today - she is a great subject for you to tackle :)
The simple change of the way I use the pencil massively improved my drawing, this entire video is wonderful, thank you.
Jacob Gentile Glad to have helped you with your drawing Jacob. Have fun with your future art.
Hi Billy, I am an artist and have also written a couple of books on the subject, but I must say 'Snap' with your ideas and mine. You are like a wonderful breath of fresh air and a great teacher. Now entering into my 85th year, I honestly cannot remember when I started, but my Dear Mother said I was drawing well by the age of two. (Think that may have been my Dear Mothers pride), but I did sell my first drawing at age eleven. Whatever I draw or paint, the thrill has never left me, even though I may be disappointed by the finished result lol. Every success to you Billy.
Thank you Daniel for your kind words about my art tutorial.
I am only just past half way in my artistic journey compared to your lifelong legacy. That is so lovely what you have commented on here. I have the thoughts of 'Can I still do this?...' every time I get to a new piece. We are always wanting to do better and improve in our art. Thank you again so much for your kind words and continued success to you with your art too. I say to many folks that it is a lifelong journey and your life is testimony to that.
Kind regards,
Billy
@@theartofbilly Hi Billy obviously a 'Do It Now' man like myself, as my dear Grandfather taught me. Your comments are greatly appreciated and I look forward to more videos from you. I have been asked so many times to do some videos, but alas, most of the technology passes over my head. I am okay with emails and posting artwork on line, but that is it. I do not have a website either, but a well known artist once said 'You are the original organic artist" Which I took as a compliment (hope it was lol and this has stuck).
This is because I do not measure whatever I draw and paint and use only the three primaries. My book Why Measure? Only came about from my live classes, where a high number of first time students had an Eureka moment and requested it in book form. The book itself is bad in every way Except it does what it says on the tin, Providing you work the method and exercises and not just read it. Sadly, the three local galleries where I was exhibiting and teaching have now closed and I have not the energy or heart to look for replacements, so for the last two years, financially, has been quite a drop, although I had a very successful holiday in Spain October last year with nine portrait commissions in the week I was there. Sorry Billy ,I rattle on, please forgive me. Would really be great to meet you in person one day. Sincerely, Daniel McGowan
It sounds like you have had a very busy time in your many years of art Daniel. Especially while on holiday!!! I always thought holidays were a time to 'knock off'. All fun though in art :)
I was found out learning these shapes & not focusing on whole image painting & doing it in pencil first & shade in. Now seeing those shapes in everything so tyvm & just keep doing more until like “muscle memory” & great idea using paper ads to go around to learn! Ty!!
It's been a decade since I haven't do drawing. It seems to me that I dont know how to do it again. Now I'm watching this tutorial, it makes me feel to try it once again. Thank you.
Glad to have inspired you to get back to drawing. Have fun :)
Its like i tell myself im not progressing but anytime I watch these videos its literally everything I've done on my own. It inspires me, but i never know what to draw so i just have books full of loose quick random nonsense. Some stuff looks good some doesnt. I just tell myself to keep pushing. I hate the days when i mentally block myself from creating because im just frustrated
Just keep drawing - it is a lifetime pursuit like any creative endeavour. Have fun with all your art.
I didn't know how to approach learning to draw, until I saw this tutorial. Draw the outlines then fill in the details, it makes perfect sense. I'm fully confident and ready to dive in. Thanks
My pleasure - glad to have helped you with your art. Have fun drawing.
I thought this was a spectacular tutorial. You offered very simple tips, yet they were so mind blowing that it actually helped me a lot. Drawing the shapes in magazines/pics is such a great idea. I'm about to do it right now. Thanks so much!
Thanks Jackie. Glad to have helped and encouraged you with your art.
Hello Billy, I really appreciate your videos especially this one. This really unlocked myself from so many other "tutorials" which were trying to teach people following specific routines. I could not even start to draw with these videos. The most important thing is to pick up your pen and start! I really learnt that KEY thing from your video. Thank you so much!
great tip, drawing on newspapers to understand how shapes make up everything!
Thank you. Have fun with your drawing :)
Im leaving this comment as marker on the day I was inspired to start drawing (seriously) and as a reminder as to who helped me when I was still learning the fundamentals of drawing. I hope this endeavor of mine keep burning for many years to come. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Glad to have helped and encouraged you on your drawing journey. I am still doodling and learning after over 40 years. Have a lot of fun.
This is inspring. I like your voice, it is so calming and relaxing, like "it'll be fine, just draw." =)

My pleasure Rais - glad to have helped you with your art 👍✏️
I was drawing since I was a little boy but I stopped because of stupid reasons, I used to draw Characters out of comics like Captain America, Hulk, Thor, etc. but all those talent I had, was lost when I stopped. I'm starting to devote myself to drawing again to remove all the bad habits I got used to doing, and your tutorial surely helped me get back. Thanks man.
Thank you Paul for your kind comments about my drawing tutorial. Enjoy your art into the future and have fun with your drawing. I have lots of cartoon characters on my 'How to Draw' playlist showing all these techniques too.
You have no idea how helpful this was...I'm gonna practice my shapes right now. I'll also make sure to stuck around for some other helpful tips from you. Thanks so much.
Taking the local paper and drawing over the shapes to get your hand and eye working together ... fantastic piece of advice for beginners. Love that suggestion. Great video, thanks.
+Chris Hettinger Thanks for your kind comment about my drawing tutorial vid Chris. It is my pleasure to be able to help folks with simple art suggestions. Drawing over newspaper and magazine photos was something I did in my teens - just seemed a good idea and works really well. Have fun with your art :)
Well, it's nice, that your drawings in the sketchbook from 2 decades ago look better, than anything I've ever drawn
Thank you for your kind comment. I started drawing aged about 7 and that is what I have focused on most of my life. Just have fun and enjoy your drawing and aim to get better with each piece of art you produce. It is a fun process.
Thank you though.. I am 19 years old and have knew how to draw at all (due to lack of interest).. Now I have a slight idea.
Matthew Chia My pleasure. Thanks for your kind comment and enjoy drawing :D
5 years later, im 19 and i also just recently got interested haha
I love how down to earth and real you are, I am rubbish at drawing but your simple explanations and just your good helping attitude. I love the drawings in your sketch book and I hope I will some day be as good as you. I’m not exaggerating when I say your video has inspired me to just grab a sketch book and practice. Great vid thanks!
(Love the Guy Martin sketches they look so realistic!)
Thank you sod much. Have fun with your drawing :)
I've watched 5 tutorials for very beginning drawing, and this is the best. I really like how you implement the tips very quickly, and show the complete project. I liked the crow on the fence. I never thought to start by tracing things, that's an awesome tip that I'm going to use! This is great. Subscribed!

Enjoy your art and drawing in the future and simply have fun ✍️👍😊
Thanks a lot, you helped me understand the big picture. I was trapped in small details, was afraid to draw simple shapes and never let go my eraser. Now I'm able to enjoy what I draw, because I'm drawing for myself and nobody's gonna judge me for it. Thank you again, you just earned a new subscriber.

I love this tutorial. I'm right at the beginning of drawing. Not ever done it before (apart from as a kid). And how lovely to hear commentary from a fellow stokie. 😘
Thank you Nicola. Just have fun with your art and glad that my 'Stokie' accent was an encouragement too :)
So disappointed to see this so late.... but it's worth it..!!!!

This was fantastic. Just what I needed & I love your enthusiasm & joy in sharing your journey & great basic tips. I used to draw but didn't know what I was doing; just used a reference image & hoped! Now I have pencil 'squiggles over every piece of paper I write on: still hoping! & now, more structured approach in understanding-there is hope! thank you!!
Thanks Megan. Glad to help and encourage you with your art. Have fun with your drawing :)
Sir, thank you so much!
I've been watching some video tutorials and the examples were all so hard to pull off, until I stumbled upon this video and realized that if I just break an object into different shapes and then connect them, I will essentially create the object. Such a strong realization. Thank you.
Thank you Michael - Glad to have helped you with your art - enjoy your drawing and creativity ✏️👍
I was so afraid of using tools to help me with my drawings but now I'll give it a try and hopefully I'll be good at it. thanks mate!
FlyingBacon115 Cheers. Have a great time drawing :)
IV just started to draw at the age of 27, my areas of interest would be fishing, outdoors/scenery and gaming characters. Really like the idea of breaking things down into shapes, iv started to draw one thing everyday, but a random item that way I'm focusing on all areas not just things I know I can draw
That is great and have a lot of fun. The shapes really helps to break any subject down.
This was the best intro vid! I just bought a 2b and 4b pencil and a sketch book- no more scrap paper! So can stick all my randoms in there!! Thanks for the encouragement :)
+RedStingBlogs My pleasure. Glad to have helped and encouraged you with your art :)
This comment is a little late, but I'd like to thank you. I'm not the best at art, but I've been looking to improve. I've watched a lot of videos on drawing, but this one just really got to me. I've learned a bunch from this video. Thank you sir.
My pleasure KCEH. Glad to have helped you on your artistic journey a little. Have fun with your future drawing.
Wow , thanks for showing us that everything is really just a combination of simple shapes!!
My pleasure Gabrele. Have fun with your art.
Hey!!! Thanks a ton Mr Billy... I'm NOT a drawer but certainly loved your work and your a true genius... Your attitude and honesty is valuable.
Thank You So Much
Have nice time ahead.
Thank you so much for your kind comments about my art and tutorials. All the best to you for the future too :)
This definitely took away a lot of frustration off my shoulders. It is a superb tutorial on approaching drawing in a fun way. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for your kind comments about my art video tutorial. Really glad it has helped. you. Enjoy your drawings and my future how to draw and art time-lapse films.
you are most welcome Mr. Billy and yes I'm very much looking forward to your next videos!
yes drawing in a fun way!! I loved art classes in grade school but dropped it because I hated having to conform-I wanted to draw what I wanted and have tons of these boxes and circles in my school notes...I am going to give it another try now!

Way better than my art teacher at school. One of the best drawing videos I have seen. Well done!
Thanks for your kind comments about my video. Glad to have helped you with your art. Feel free to share it nicely with your art teacher and other students 👍✏️
just wanted to say thanks man. I watch lots of tutorials and I tend to get lost in the technique they are trying to teach. This was the one that enabled me to relax and just get into the sketch. I wound up going down a rabbit hole of sketching a kitchen timer. I like how it came out. AND I had fun doing it.
My pleasure and lovely to help you with your drawing and glad that your drawing of a kitchen timer went well. Have a lot of fun with your future art ✍️
holy moly billy, this is one of the best intro to drawing videos on RUclips. not just the technical stuff you spoke about but the advice is exactly what beginners like myself need to hear imo. Thank you sir. You just got one more subscriber :)
Thank you Joe - glad to have helped you with your art and drawing. Have fun and thanks for the sub.
watching this video, makes me feel free, like i can draw anything out of shapes
thank you, peaceful man, for helping me out

will do, have a nice day
Thank you and you too :)
Hey hey dude (Ik you probably won't read this but) I fucking love this video~
I (ofc) stumbled upon this completely by accident, I was searching for videos on how to play any song on piano by ear and ended up misclicking on this in the recommended tab, but I stayed because I love drawing and I thought a tutorial on drawing random stuff would be fantastic and this one totally hit the nail on that~!
Thank you so much for your kind words about my drawing tutorial. Glad to have helped you with your drawing and enjoyment of art a little. Have fun with your art and music :)
Thats true
yeah hes great
Pencil has been my best friend for years and it will be forever . Though , i sometimes get frustrated when i see someone drawing better than me but still there is a hope of doing more. When i complete my sketch ,it gives me happiness . I will not leave pencil . I'm gonna draw more and more now . Thanks for this video .
Glad to help and have fun drawing
@@theartofbilly keep helping . We appreciate it . Can you please a video on simple basic exercises to set hand in drawing.

I can't thank you enough for the past year i hd been looking at things and wondering where to start, this video cleared a lot of that up for me. On to the 2nd part now, thank you again, the years of practice show in the fluidity of your work, a skill i hope someday to attain.
Thanks Cody - enjoy your doodling - I still do nearly 4 decades into it.

Really good tutorial,Im going to buy my first sketch book and you just gave me alot of good tips thanks,Im new at this it seems like nobody gives just tbe basics so your advice was really good!Im hoping you will do some more tutorials like this one soon,,it was well recieved,THANK YOU
+Jackie Rosario Pleasure to help - enjoy your drawing and check out all the 'How To Draw' videos in the playlist as you will see the techniques in action. My timeless of my drawings you see my full art come together too.

Hey, you're a left too! First one I've seen...maybe I can draw afterall...Thanks for the well done tutorial.
My pleasure to encourage you and do enjoy your left handed drawing.
MY father was left handed and he was an excellent artist. He worked construction and never used his art skills for nothing more than fun. He did great drawings though.
That is lovely that you have such a great memory of your dad being creative.
@@theartofbilly it is a great video, although, because I am right handed, I felt very uncomfortable seeing it done with left hand, it is something with my brain, it is called "Cognitive fluency", marketers keep taking care of it in creating advertises and stuff.
Maybe watching left handed people doing things with left hands will make it easier for me,
you're an absolute angel. I love drawing and I have been drawing for years now but my art teacher (best art teacher I've ever had) had gotten me so used to using the grid method (which is very time-consuming) that when it got time for me to start using freehand I just couldn't it just didn't feel right at all I would always be too tense and just put it aside to never work on it again. listening to this video and following through with all the tips and understanding shapes more really helped me and I just really want to thank you. this truly helped me a lot and it was such a good stress relief as well. sorry that this is so long I just had to get this out. (I just got out of high school so I still have a long journey ahead of me with art)
Hi Mario,
Thank you for your lovely comment and glad to help you with your free drawing. Enjoy the years ahead. I have been drawing for 40+ years and I am still practicing and learning. I do teach folks the grid method for really complex subjects but for quick sketching (I have drawn musicians while they are playing live) this is a great way to get your basic drawing down.
Have a lot of fun.
Regards,
Billy
this man is too innocent,i loved him so much.
+Azzoz Kaaki Thank you :)
no problem x) ,i see that you are too professinal, but i want to become a professinal too, but the different is that i,am more into Fantasy Creatures,Middle age knights and dragons and mythology,and enviorment design, does practicing basic shapes and doodling will help my drawing skill and dimensions to imrpove ? what do you advice. theartofbilly
+Azzoz Kaaki Yes learning to draw shapes and normal everyday objects will then help you to create any fantasy creature that you want to produce later. All the top fantasy artists use human or animal models to build up their fantasy subjects. So using a Rhinoceros for example to become an armoured battle animal that an Ogre would ride is a good thing for fantasy art. So drawing animals at a Zoo will help you to develop.
Also learning to draw humans you can then 'add' or increase muscles and limbs to become whatever kind of creature you desire.
Have fun with your art and all the best for your future career :)

This video is so helpful and practical. I'm trying to get back into drawing by hand after only making digital art for work. This reminds me of the old drawing shows I used watch as a kid. Thank you!!!
Thank you and glad to have encouraged you to have a go at drawing. Just enjoy iy and have a lot of fun.
I will definitely try these techniques, but I'll still suck anyways :P
Thank you Zeilix - Just enjoy your drawing though ✏️👍
I'm 30 with no talent but I've always wanted to learn how to draw and this video is really interesting to me. I've ordered some basic supplies (pencils, sharpener, rubber, paper) and I can't wait to get started.

I used to be intimidated by trying but now that I have seen that it's just basic shapes, I think it will be so much easier.
Thanks very much for your comment. Have fun experimenting with your drawing.
hey how do you draw the scenes like factory one, first take photograph, or through visual memory?
I do a mixture of drawings on the spot and take photographs. Even very basic notes in a sketchbook if something specific needs to be remembered which you may miss in a photograph.
Your drawings are fantastic!! I am very inspired that you are left-handed!!! Just like me, but I find it difficult to follow Caligraphy and other tutorials when the person is right-handed, so this is fabulous to find a left-handed artist !!! YAHHHHHHH!!
Glad to help and encourage you with your drawing Kenn ✍️👍
I wanna draw hentai and practice my art until I become a well-known hentai artist!
I WILL MAKE THIS DREAM A REALITY, NO ONE WILL STOP ME!!
Have fun on your artistic journey.
same here
so, how are you doing?
I have no motivation to start learning how to draw until i seen your artworks!
It’s so cool to reach that kind of sketching skills!!
Thanks for inspiration
My pleasure to encourage you James. Glad to help you with your drawing and have a lot of fun in the future 👍✍️😊

Thanks.
thank you so much ! I can actually learn to actually enjoy my drawing, I used to concentrate on one figure only and it frustrates me how it couldn't be fit or proportional.
