As usual, your mastery over drawing,( specially landscapes) is commendable. I really liked the accompanying commentary. Your honest and frank tips are worth their weight in gold(of course,mainly to serious art students). This particular landscape is totally mesmerising.
excellent drawing, I lieke the way you draw the trees, wish I could learn to do it your way, thank you very much for your channel Smoothie77 and all the inspiration you give to all of us..
Very nice indeed. I have a lot to learn. Not quite sure how to proceed with my very novice beginner landscape drawings. Fabulous to have found your channel.
Solid advice. When I was younger an arty friend talked me into buying this big derwent graphics set, with harness going to at 9h, think I never used anything harder than 3h, the rest of the hard range is gathering dust under in my pencilbox.
I agree but I've been doing some reading on real nice pencils and supposedly you can buy pencils that you can actually use the 3,4,5H's. Mitsubishi actually makes a nice pencil and the higher H's dont cut into the tooth of the paper like cheaper ones do
@smoothie77 Thanks for this video! I’ve missed seeing your drawings and I’ve been watching your old videos over and over! Keep up the good work because you inspire me so much to keep drawing!
This looks SO REAL! I have Mitsubishi Uni, I am interested that you consider them "soft" I think I would like a softer lead. It would possibly not allow me to get the detail I'm seeing you doing here.
Outstanding as always. Man would I love to see you pick up a paint brush and a set of oils to see what kind of a landscape painting you could knock out of the park!
Oh dear I’ve got a long list now to try and accomplish I’m way behind with everything, but your patreon is the best there is so much wonderful work being posted from the community which is a joy to see and such a wonderful spirit, Thsnkyou for all you do
I've had the same problems with two Derwent sets, 5H-6B and H-9B. I also have problems with the weak leads snapping off with very little pressure in the darker grades.
Two or three things: 1. What type paper is being used in this drawing? I am finding that on buildings with fine detail smooth works best for me. 2. I was surprised to hear the "grade range" usually used. Guess my "b" dominant range may need to be rethought. I have usually used wood pencils, noticed the use of mechanics a lot in this drawing. I have been using them some lately. I find them a whole new discipline, but like them. Hard to make an old dog use new tricks!
Hello, can you asnwer a question? Where do you find these images to draw? I can't seem to find myself anything as good as the images you find and draw.
A lot about what pencils to use but not much about \drawing the landscape. HOW DID YOUGET THE STONE WALL? A nice picture but not enough sketching information.
Please read this whole comment. Solid advice. You should seriously have courses on Udemy. The reason why you only have 32.8 K subscribers isn't because you don't have good content( no seriously you have the best content ever) it is because not many people knows about your channel. Like millions of people around the world knows about Udemy for graphic design and drawing courses so if you have courses on Udemy, Jeez, I can't even imagine how popular your courses would be and how much income would you get. Please for the sake of god and yourself, please have paid courses on Udemy(not free courses)( a lot of people are going to pay your courses even if it is super expensive since the content is super duper super duper awesome.) Please apply this to your to-do list and probably( I mean definitely) your channel would rock and fly to 400K or even 900K also your Udemy account would have at least 20,000(this is a huge number of student even though having 20K subscribers on youtube isn't that much because imagine 20,000 * 199$ which is the average fee for one course = 3,980,000$ or even 100,000 students which is 100,000* 199$ = 19,900,000$) (even though Udemy has the courses on sale for only 19$ but you would earn 199$). Also, it is better to have courses STRUCTURALIZED( from level 1 beginner to level 2 intermediate then to level 3 advanced and to level 4 expert). I'm NOT a person from Udemy advertising trying to convince gg. I'm just a student trying to learn art and has sympathy on you that you have only 32K subscribers. I really want that number to increase and also develop my art skills. Also, from a student's perspective, I find it hard to commit to your tutorials because they are not structuralized and I also hope you could explain your methods of doing it like in a course instead of tutorials. Also, because alot of people around the world don't have access to Patreon but want to pay your tutorials.
I don’t think I will ever get bored of watching you draw. You are a master!
You are very good at explanning thé processus you are my favorite teacher. Sorry for my english cause i am french

This beautiful Jon, it really does remind me of the Yorkshire dales which I loved. I actually think it looks better than the reference photo

Absolutely brilliant I was a bit worried not heard from you in a while
What gsm paper do use please.. love watching you draw and listen to you talk. Thank you for sharing.
Oohhh my God. Beautiful. Parabéns professor. Pura perfeição. Essas obras de arte me inspiram muito e me fazem voltar no meu tempo de criança. Show
Very nice sir.
Also, when do we use clutch pencils( lead holders) and when do we use wood pencils. Can we only use clutch pencils?

Can I ask do you work on your drawings on a flat surface or do you use an angled easel ?
I'm really enjoying your videos and learning a lot. How do you deal with graphite shine?
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for this video. Do you ever do insects, animals, or plant videos?
Hi Jon, great work as usual 💖
Question: how long did it take to complete this piece?
Thanks
You should create your own website.
¿Dibuja sobre una mesa (horizontal) o sobre un caballete (vertical)?... gracias, es Usted un Artista.

If you were in prison and were allowed one pencil and one paper, what would they be?
