Learning how to draw accurately is not difficult, it is all about training your eye to compare and contrast what you see. In this easy still life drawing tutorial video I show beginners how to draw accurately by learning basic techniques in a simple step by step approach. Simply, I explain how to use your pencil as a ruler to measure whatever you are looking at and compare that with other sections of the still life drawing. To do this you must have your arm straight, one eye closed and the ability to move your thumb up and down the pencil.
The way it works is simple, if a section of the drawing is twice as long as another section, you know the same has to apply in your still life drawing. Using these measurements it is possible to create a very accurate drawing of whatever you see. In this case I use a still life as the starting point, but it could be a landscape or even a person. This art tutorial is designed for beginners and those wanting to improve their drawing.

Thank you for your kind words, I'm not a religious person, but I love trying to help where I can. Paul
This is amazing I’m trying hard to update my drawing skills and this method helped me a lot thank you so much I really appreciate it and yet I’m still going to watch and learn more 😊😊
Really pleased you enjoyed the video, good luck with your drawing. Cheers Paul
Thank you so much. I took an intro art course last night, and the instructor forgot to mention the part about making that first line on the page, and that everything else would be in proportion to the starter line. It was very confusing, but you made it make sense.
Glad my video had helped toy to understand the basics. Good luck with your drawing. Cheers Paul
You are a very good teacher! I'm so glad to have found your channel. Drawing has become my obsession and I'm learning every day.
Drawing is a wonderful thing. I hope your drawing continues to improve. Thanks for the kind comment. Cheers Paul
I didn't know I was doing this subconsciously! I always think in terms of fractions and relate them to other parts of the subject but I haven't really thought of doing this with a pencil. Thank you!
That's great, it is a brilliant way to look at things.
I am with Nathanael - keep up the enthusiasm aka mad scientist thing. Great!
I am getting serious about my outdoor sketching. I am so happy to have found and subscribed to your channel. My trip to the Grand Canyon next March will be wonderful and I will be prepared to "see" the magnificent landscape and capture it's beauty.
So glad my channel has helped your drawing, good luck at the Grand Canyon. Thanks for subscribing, perhaps you could recommend my channel to them too. Thanks Paul
update us
You properly explain to me in 3 min, what my teacher couldn't in 3 classes lol
I'm pleased you understand it now, good luck with your drawing
You are a blessing in the lives of many people
Thank you Paul, I always keep watching your videos. You give a detailed idea about every drawing which is helpful for beginners like me.
I'm so glad to have found your channel. Now i am able to develop my drawing skills slowly.
Thanks again.
You are very welcome. Cheers
Awww... You stopped doing the mad scientist acting. I loved that part. lol
Brilliant art classes tho. :D
+Nathanael Alhazred A lot of people didn't like that bit, but you never know it might appear again. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Cheers Paul
Wait is that Sebastian?!
Great video! This is the most important part of any drawing and yet I couldn't find any other good reference for that. Can't thank you enough for this excellent tutorial!
Really pleased you found the video useful. Perhaps you could tell your friends about my videos. Cheers Paul
Are there any Homeschoolers here or just me??😀😁
There are lots of videos here that should be of help, good luck. Cheers
Yep
You are fab!! I don't draw in this way anymore I am out of practice. Not good, considering I am hopefully going to be teaching art in High school next year, if I am successful at my interview next week. I was looking for ideas to teach a small class - basic observational drawing. I only have 30 mins. I have started a simplistic powerpoint. I think I might use the shading, tone, edges, outline with geometric shapes, idea. Thank you so much.
+Andronicus Kenny Glad the video helped your preparation for your interview - good luck with that. Not much point in doing anything unless you can enthusiastic about it - that's what I believe anyway. Cheers Paul
that was a very good tutorial going to see part two
Glad you are enjoying the videos, I hope your drawing is going well. Cheers Paul

New in this topic. That helped me a lot. Thanks for the video
You're very welcome!
Sir thank u so much ,
So nice of you
Ahh thank you so much! I have an art contest tomorrow for still life and I needed some tips to do well
Good luck!!
@@PaulPriestleyart thank you!
Very helpful video, thank you for this amazing guidence🙏🙏. This video is very helpful for me, because I am preparing for entrance exam. Its too helpful, thank you sir 😊😊😊😊. You are very good teacher ☺️☺️. Many things I want to talk you, but my English is not so good😅.
Thank you. Good luck with your drawing.
What's a good way to draw the actual objects? I'm finding it hard to measure the objects I chose due to the angle and size. I have been told to not use a screenshot and rather just draw the objects itself
Forget that the object is something particular, like a cup or a plant. Just look for the shapes and use the method described to measure the shapes.
Thank you I love drawing you are great artist
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent presentation
Thank you! Cheers!
It is so helpful
Thank you
Well explained 👍🏻
Love❤️ from INDIA🇮🇳

That's great good luck with your drawing
Thank you, this was really helpfu
You are welcome
Nice sir
Cheers Paul
THANKS SO MUCH OMD THIS HELPS-
That's great
Thank for this important knowledge. I just wonder why you must have an arms length? I don´t see so well. Can´t I have something closer but always the same?
It has to be arms length so the distance is consistent. With out that consistency the measurements would vary.
You are greatt sir..
Cheers
Thanks! I’m 11 and applying for Osceola school of the arts this years. and still life is one problem I have currently, it’s timed with the audition and I’ll be using this
That's great, good luck with your application.
nice video.i guess pencil measurment method is the best.Even to draw portraits . as many methods are taught here in youtube and other places .what you opinion about it?
I prefer the pencil method.
To good!!!
Thank you
It doesn't matter that I got this type of video after 4 year...
But I really enjoyed..
Gald you enjoyed my video, Cheers
Tqsm I needed this for my art exam
I really hope I make it -_-
Of course you will.
Thank youuu so much for this ♥️
You're welcome 😊
how accurate is this method for scaling - enlarging or reducing?
It is not, you have to use other methods for that.
Thank you
You are welcome
Nice helped me
Really pleased my video helped, please subscribe if you haven't already. Cheers Paul
really helped, thanks for sharing:)
You are welcome
Thank you. This was most helpful. I'm just starting to learn about the idea of measuring still lifes with a pencil. It seems like it could be quite useful.
It should help a lot, cheers Paul
Anyone ever thought about using the same technique but using a clear ruler? Could get really accurate measurements using your thumb and the markings on the ruler.
I suppose you could, but it would be very awkward. Besides it is not so much about accurate measurement as training the eye to compare sizes and shapes so no physical measurement is required when experience takes over.
That was interesting
You have help me a lot 🖒
That's great, glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you Sir
You are welcome.
I can easily measure because I have a ruler printed on my sketching pencils!
Yes, that's great, but the real skill is to do it without the ruler.
Hello, I need to print the picture, where do I get it from, I need it badly, please reply to me
Please, I have a personal interview for drawing and I need it
I cannot supply the picture, you'll have to take a screen shot
What we will do when the object is very far away form us????
You use the same methods
its vvvvvvvvvvvvvv usefull techniques
Glad you enjoy the videos, good luck with your drawing.
THNKXXXX SIR
+Zahra Jaffer Glad you liked the video perhaps you can share it with friends. Thanks Paul
Y NOT
What If I just measure with a pencil and replicate exact same lenght on the paper, would it work?
Not sure exactly what you mean, but there is only one way to find out, try it.
Good. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to set up still life subjects.
That's a shame, so draw what you see around you instead. Cheers Paul
cool trick
+Chris Lucas Artists are like magicians we have tricks for doing all sorts of things. Cheers Paul
Paul Priestley
What about a magician that draws, do they have even more tricks, I'll let you know. I draw, that is not how I do it, but I do have some tricks I use, never thought about using a pencil. So I might try it next time I draw. I will have to check out more of your video's. You might of added make sure you are also standing in the same place when you do it. Other wise good video. I know it is common sense, but face it most people lack that.
How we can measure the angles in drawings?
+reza mirreza Use the same methods, remember this is not maths it is art
It's not difficult!
Me: Now, how the heck do I draw this line?
Agreed
lmaooo same
My son said that you come to his primary school Castleview he's now in year 7
I don't go to schools anymore, but I did visit Castleview on many occasions. Really good school. Good luck to your son in his new school. Cheers Paul
I needed this. THanks alot!
You are very welcome, good luck with your drawing. Cheers Paul
@@PaulPriestleyart Thank you! I'm using a lot of your tutorials since they are simple (one object at a time) and done slowly so I can follow every step on the way. They helped me immensely. So thanks again for your effort. :) Of course I got your channel subscribed and am notified about new goodies :)
art
But I can't hold my arms all the way out due to medical problems
Just hold your arm as far as you can. What matters is the distance has to be consistent when taking the measurements.

Hi
Lo
👏👏🌹🌹👌🙏
Thanks
I have to do a life drawing class tommorow 😣 I feel like I'm gonna end up laughing as I am so awkward
+Ellie Ellie Don't worry you'll be fine, just draw your best and remember tho keep your wrist loose when drawing lines to suggest curves and movement . Paul
Paul Priestley thanks 😃
thats really cool!!!!! please reply it would make me very happy!
Here's your reply. Cheers
@@PaulPriestleyart omggggg i cant believe you replied its like a dream come true ahhhh i really love your work thank you thank you thank youuuuu!!!!!!!!
this is good and all, but mi drawing a top down still life
Good luck with your drawing
brooo what if I used a ruler instead of thumb
Then your drawing will look like everyone else's drawings that have been created with a ruler, where is the individuality in that?
Paul Priestley the colors and mood I give it, he brush strokes, the pencil strokes maybe? Besides the goal for this is accuracy right? Newbies like me need to practice accuracy first before true artistry

You are drawing wrong, seriouly

Nice body language but...........boooooooriingggggggggGGGG
I suppose 3 minutes is a long time to concentrate
Seems..youtube has misplaced the colone cause to me the video seemed 353 minutes
