This is exactly how you would learn a music Instrument. Same rules apply. Nice Video.
Does it depend on the instrument?
Yes I think so, Im always comparing learning drawing to learning music. I guess the main difference is drawing is not so strictly held to a particular system - anyone can draw to some extent, where as music requires more of a language. But to learn a musical instrument seriously, yes very much the same!
I understand shading by light thankyou so much
I recently discovered your channel and so glad I did! Im learning daily. Started trying drawing about a year and a half ago. Then took a break. Mistake! Practice DOES make progress. So when I picked it back up recently., I find time to draw something everyday. Certainly makes a difference. Thank you for sharing talent and skills with the youtube verse!
If you can draw daily thats awesome! Theres another definition of daily drawing or daily painting out there which is not necessarily about drawing every day but about choosing the times you can draw and working to finish a small artwork during that time. This is valuable practice time but also rewarding when you suddenly realise you have a stack of drawings or paintings! Thanks very much for watching 😊
Thanks
Daily practice time
Once again, I feel understood when hearing your words.
I'm kind of stuck with my drawing. I've been drawing for years, the past year even regularly (daily), and yes, it helps a lot. I can draw beautiful lines, forms and shapes, I have no problem with shading, but ... every drawing of something "real" (like people, animals, faces) looks wrong. It's the proportions that ruin it for me. I can't get proportions right to save my life, and I've been practicing a lot.
It seems to me there are not really any tutorials or courses for me. Everything is either for beginners or for really advanced people. I wish there was more in between! I'm terribly tired of tutorials for beginners, I feel like biting into my keyboard when I hear about the colour wheel again and again, and grid practice just doesn't do it for me.
There must be more people in the same situation, I can't be the only one. I wish there were more tutorials for people who don't need the absolute basics any more but are having trouble going on.
I hear you when it comes to feeling stuck! Part of this is, I think, just a big part of being an artist but if you cant find ways to get past the stuck part, or to improve then its hard to know what to do. I dont use grids either but I do find a very simple grid of just a vertical and horizontal cross section over a photo can help a lot of students.
The difficulty with providing courses for intermediate students is that everyone has different needs and interests at that self-learning stage and really the best thing is to find a likeminded tutor or a group to work with and get individual feedback. One way of doing this is through platforms like Udemy and Domestika, and I take a few Domestika classes now and then to learn new processes and try doing things a different way. So you could try looking there.
If I can recommend a couple of my own classes, my How To Draw Realistic Faces starts off simple but it does go through practically applying proportion to features of the face and the face itself with projects and worksheets - this might help with practicing proportion but could be more interesting for you than going back to basics. I do have new Sketch Club classes that are designed for people who are already drawing but want motivation and confirmation of skills. These are short 1-2 hour classes on different subjects but each one covers proportion, shading etc applied in a practical tutorial. Both links are in the description.
I hope you'll persevere with your drawing and that you can find a course/group/tutor that gives you what you need!
@@ThePencilRoomOnline Thanks for your answer. You are absolutely right about the difficulty with intermediate students. But you're also providing a solution, which is offering trainings that just don't dwell on beginner stuff. Letting people draw along with you without making them go through long practice of the basics would help many, I'm pretty sure.
Funny that you recommend your face course. I just bought that same course yesterday. You linked your Udemy classes in the description and I found it. I like your way of teaching and I already followed one of your Sketch Club courses which I enjoyed a lot.
Never heard of Domestika, will have a look.
@@tentativesuggestion I hope you enjoy that course! Domestika has some good art classes the only problem is its predominantly Spanish which means if you dont speak Spanish (like me) you have to either watch each lesson with subtitles before actually doing the lesson or look for the classes which are in English or have an English voiceover!
Love your advice!!
Thanks for watching. Best of luck with your drawing!
Learning was never so easy. Thanks😊
You sound like the perfect student 😁
Thank You
Dear mam you are too good to teach thank you
I appreciate the practice list,,,,🎉
Thank you so much!! ❤
Hi! What kind of practice resource was that you showed for noses?
Also, I’m learning so much from you! I’m so glad I found your channel!
Hi Karen, Thanks for your comment and for following the channel! The nose worksheet is from my course How To Draw Realistic Faces. You can see the intro for the course here: ruclips.net/video/4yv3OOAqRD8/видео.htmlsi=qZZIObsjRazSRc8a

Hi! Oh wow thank you, the modules are so detailed! So I just completed your free learn to draw course and I wanted to do the perspective videos next. I’m not sure what I want to draw but I know I want to draw what I see and do it realistically. I grew up trying g to draw portraits and did one as the project in a college drawing course and then I got away from drawing for a bit and want my skills back!
I was pretty good and now I’m just okay. Do you think this course would be a good fit?
I think it’s pretty accessible for beginners so if you’ve already had a go at portraits before then it could be a good way to get back into it. The majority of the course is on drawing eyes, noses and mouths and head layouts, from a front on viewpoint, all of which have worksheets and exercises to do. There is a final portrait project as a way to start putting everything together but like anything it takes practice. The course is not a quick fix but I’ve designed it to be very practical and with the goal to give students some concrete skills that they can then use to practice full portraits on their own :)
I like drawing portraits and my drawing is very good but needs the basics any advice
hi ,could you add Turkish subtitles please..thanks
Hi, You can use RUclips's auto translate setting to get other language subtitles. Unfortunately they only have a small selection of languages on mobile devices, but if you use a desktop computer you can get Turkish subtitles:
Click the settings at the bottom of the video and turn on English captions. Then click the settings button again and it will show the Auto Translate option and you can choose any language :)
Thank You Madam 😊
You're welcome 😊
Hello,great videos, i have a question,what if you like drawing and you just want to reach a good level where you can experience all sorts of types : realism,portraits….
Great! Try everything then focus down on what you find most interesting. Consistent practice is the key and choosing an area to practice in…even if you change what you’re interested in every month or so, that’s fine for getting started. All types of drawing will be useful in some way.
@@ThePencilRoomOnline Thank you mam❤️✌🏻
Beginner here learning using only RUclips, for now. Love your videos. Question. I’m not sure how to posture my body/arm relative to the square of the paper. Often my hand blocks what I’m trying to draw, or feels contorted if I stay to a strict position so to get a better view of what I’m drawing sometimes I rotate the paper, or I rotate my arm. Is this a bad? Also, where should my face be relative to the face of the paper. Should the paper be on a desk and I lean over. Should I put the paper on an easel so it’s facing me? So I’m struggling to know proper relative body/arm posture.
Great question, and you're probably not going to like my answer which is there is no absolute right way...and thats just because I wouldn't ever encourage anyone to work in a way that is uncomfortable! I can give you some things to think about though:
1. There are certain angles of movement that will feel more natural to you - while its good to practice other directions (you can try my easy exercises for beginners video), if you're working on a drawing you don't really want to make it hard for yourself so turning your page or rotating your arm is completely fine.
2. Your drawing position will change depending on whether you are drawing from a photo or from real life. If drawing from real life you want to have your body facing the subject and your drawing in front of you or slightly to one side if working at an easel, basically so you aren't having to turn to look over your drawing arm or turn/move your head too much.
3. It's a bit like using a computer in that you should be working in a way that isn't causing you any issues with pain or strain. If you are young then you might be fine hunched over a table with the drawing and a photo both flat on the table. For me I try to draw on an angle, not so upright as a standing easel but either a board or sketchbook leaning against the edge of a desk, or a small table easel at about maybe between 30 -45 degrees. Drawing at an easel is difficult if you are just starting though because you cant rest your hand against the page so easily and this in turn could cause you some shoulder pain if you're not used to it. If you are drawing from life then its also good to have your drawing surface up at an angle rather than flat on a desk so you don't get distortion.
Firstly consider comfort and physical wellbeing (and what works best for you!). Secondly, have your subject and drawing surface at a similar level/angle so you aren't having to move your head much, you can just use your eyes.
Sorry for the essay 😅 Let me know if it makes sense!
@@ThePencilRoomOnline That definitely helps. That detailed answer is exactly what I wanted. Thank you. 😊
2 hours once or twice a week? I draw for at least 2 hours every day.
Awesome, the more you can practice the better :)
