Hi friends and aspiring artists!
In this tutorial I want to teach you two key, basic drawing exercises for beginners. These are great exercises for warming up and also improving your visual perception and coordination.
(00:49) - Exercise #1 - A series of 3 mini warm-up exercises that will get you prepared for your drawing / sketching session.
- Suns / rays
- Circles / Ovals
- Hatching
(11:26) - Exercise #2 - Isolating shapes and lines to practice visual perception and your ability to break down complex objects and focus on the individual parts.
Let me know what you think, and if this is helpful.
I'll be sure to keep you updated regarding the course, as soon as I launch it.
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed, please subscribe to my channel for more awesome videos. Also, feel free to leave a comment with a video request, or any follow-up questions you may have.
Have an amazing rest of the day,
- Liron

Definitely going to be one of your best. Looking forward to buying the book when it is available.
Thank you so much for the support, I appreciate it (:
Thank you for the video and sharing your time with us !
@Miller Leon nope. No one cares.
Considering how you mention that some lines are more comfortable and natural to the hand, I found it is also useful to draw the circles from different starting points. In drawing, you rarely have a perfect circle, but you do have curves in every direction. By practicing circles from different origins, you are practicing how to draw curves with unique starting and end points.
That pretty helpful thxs❤
The rays would pair great with that because each ray represents a unique starting point.
Hey this is my second week in learning how to draw...what you write makes sense, so I'm going to add that to my practice rounds along with what he talks about in this video. Thanks for that tip. Have you been drawing long?
Mastering basics means you can delve into almost any field. Thank for these exercises 🧡
It’s my pleasure, thank you! 😊🙏🏼 Indeed the basics are so important!
I’ve been drawing on and off for 40 years. I even quit art school because I felt I couldn’t overcome some of my bad habits. I never thought about doing this. What a mind blower！I gotta do this. Thanks so much.
Wow thank you so much! I’m so happy you found this helpful 😊🙏🏼
Aww man, I wish there's an art school in my country
@@Fan-mu3bg where do u live
what bad habits did you have?
@@stimixs honestly focus, interest, and sustaining that long enough to work through my bad anatomy or lazy line work. For example, it’s embarrassing to admit , but I almost never draw a face in any pose other than a left facing profile or 3/4 .. usually I draw from imagination. When I’ve drawn from life it’s easier. At any rate I’ve never taken my art seriously enough even though I had serious talent even at an early age. I just never applied myself. I’m also a pretty-good-but-not-as-good-as-I-could/should-be musician, guitarist, songwriter , writer, photographer..... my interests just fluctuate all over the place. Professionally I’m a sound designer for video games and I’ve probably made some famous sounds you’ve heard (maybe).. by those standards I’m successful. But I’m also still trying to become a great sound designer. I’ve had a great career but a lot of my career is much like the rest of my life in that I’m constantly shifting focus and wondering where my time would be best spent. A bit of a mess I’m afraid or an artist?
The hatching technique really works. 10 minutes doing it and I feel more confident and coordinated already.
So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you
Me too, I was thinking the whole time "this isn't doing anything for me" then boom he draws the window off the roof and then the bush and I'm looking at mine like "whoa! I can draw!!"
Often times I want to create a piece but just don’t have the motivation to do it! This helped very much, thank you.
So happy to hear, thank you 😊🙏🏼
I like these alot. It's a great idea to save them in chronological order and try your best every time if you are a beginner. That way you will be able to see your newbie gainz and the progress you are making. It's a great idea to draw the same thing once a week too as you learn. Something small. I like drawing eyes, and it is genuinely amazing at how fast you can progress from being barely able to draw a circle to shading something that looks almost realistic
This was super super helpful, I feel like I was accidentally doing these before drawing. Usually I like to doodle before jumping into a drawing, and a lot of those doodles involve doing some of these exercises (lots of making circles and random lines all over) but now I'm more conscious of this as a warm-up. And these more specified exercises really help since doodling often leads to me getting distracted, really helps streamline the warm-up/motivation process!
The video title could also be :
Easy way to draw a quick SPIDERWEB
Haha definitely 😂
I agree: once I start a warm-up, I can’t help but continue drawing! A perfect maneuver around writer’s (or should I say, artist’s) -block. Valuable to remember. Thanks Liron
Crazy. Tried the bush at the end watching both picture and my drawing at first. Then tried just looking at the image and not my drawing. And the later was closer to the original.
Great video
I'm gonna try out these tips ASAP! Can't wait to exercise these tips.
Love this! I couldn’t draw a stick figure well but got moved into a kindergarten class for special needs students. They are very visual learners so I had no choice but to add drawings into my lessons. I sketched something for almost every lesson & really started to see improvement from drawing every day. The kids get a giggle out of my mistakes...but I would like to up my game so my kiddos can take in the lesson and not be distracted by my “creations”.
I keep coming back to the exercises over the months. Thank you for your wonderful tips.
man! I accidentally drew spiderman with that exercises! thanks man!
Haha I should rename it to "How to sketch spiderman nets" (;
I am so glad I found this video. I am very much a beginner, but I feel the "warm up" exercise will help me tremendously. Thank you Liron.
The beginning exercises are helpful for getting revved up for a few hours of drawing. The last exercise with the reference photo was the cherry on top! These exercises were quite eye-opening for me (literally)! Now I find myself seeking out references in my environment to draw as well as in pages of books. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
As a side note here: I like the way you added cars to one of your watercolors. I am getting pretty good results adding traffic to scenes, but hope you can give some pointers as well.
Thanks again, Liron!
Thank you, and my pleasure! (:
Hey, I'm just starting out as a digital artist and I've been wanting to learn how to draw. This video is very helpful, thank you.
I specifically looked up your videos to see what kind of interesting drawing exercises you might have because you always seem to make more fun choices. I wasn't disappointed.
These exercises are great. I've developed bad habits with playing guitar over the last 20 years and was able to correct most of them by "starting over" with the basics, going slow again and building back up. I'm hoping that drawing works the same way. So far it seems so.
Thank you
These are great to help establish "Muscle Memory". High repetition is the name of the game. I've instinctively done similar Exercises but I enjoy the simplicity of doing just lines & shapes in different directions - I know this will help balance & stabilize my Hands where certain movements are still not fluid. (For times when I can't turn my paper). Your exercises have a larger scope than those I've been doing (EX: Focusing on just one object like Leaves - I'll do pages & pages until I feel I am not longer "thinking' about drawing them) . Thank you for taking the time to show us your Methods.
This is unbelievably helpful, thank you so much! I' m excited to start on your other lessons.
Thank you, its great that people can share their tips of their trade without being conceited. I for 1 really appreciate that
Thank you Liron. This is very helpful and useful!
Just became your student - look forward to starting the course.
Shirley Trill thank you so much - welcome aboard! 😊 I got the notification 😉
Really good one! I will practice this.
Oh yay!! You have a RUclips channel! Thanks for sharing with us!
i've been trying the warmup over watercolour blotches, since i find flowing watercolour and the process of it drying relaxing. combining this with the technique included in the video totally puts me in the drawing mood, feeling relaxed and all warmed up!
plus the watercolour acts as a good boundary and allow me to practise in a way that gives me more control over the lines.
Thank you for these helpful exercises. Seeing, and differentiating, the various shapes in the building gave me an understanding of how one would tackle such a complicated subject. You break it down into smaller, recognizable forms that comprise the whole. I'm looking forward to doing that now.
Thank you for sharing! I will try the excercises .
SUBSCRIBED! I've been looking for someone that does these types of tutorials on drawing exercises.
You have been so helpful. Thank you
From this late-in-life wannabe thank you times 3 - you may be unlocking a “door “ I’ve been searching for for a few years. Thank you for teaching me how to “train my brain “!!🎉🎉🎉
Wow, thank you so much. I’m really happy this helps and encourages creation 😊🙏🏼🎨 Keep me updated on your progress!
#2 is gold.
Helping me a ton.
Many Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I hope you'll find the rest of the videos helpful as well.
I saw something I have never seen before with this video. Thank you very very much. Excellent
This was an exercise my art teacher used to make us do during my junior school days year after year. Of course we all didn't see the point of it and even hated it. Looking back now I am so thankful.
Thank you! You helped me a lot!!
Thank you for the simple to follow video
I enjoyed your exercises very much...you are clear and encouraging. Thank you!
Thankyou teacher, your skills are amazing and this exercise is so effective and pragmatic!!!!

11:26-ex 2
Thanks for this lesson. I've been "doodling" my own variations these lines for years. Now I can upgrade them to "exercises" and maybe become a real artist. :)
These actually really helped. Thank you!
This was super helpful! Thank u so much.
Happy to hear 😁🙏🏼 Thank you!
Great explanations. helpful.

Yes, diversifying and experimentation are a great way to accelerate learning and improvement (:
Thank you!
This was really helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for the tips, they were great. Cheers.
Thank you Liron for yet another very encouraging video.
I really enjoyed watching you develop the drawing exercises and look forward to these building into a series for drawing beginners.
I have already subscribed to your RUclips and Instagram feeds a while ago and have been watching your excellent "Watercolour Colour Series" building into a substantial library.
A few months ago I purchased your book "How to Sketch" which, when time allows, I am sure will guide me into drawing on my iPad.
Thank you for all your work in encouraging us all to draw and paint and for creating features which should "kickstart" many watchers, like me, into actually being confident enough to start sketching by following your many leads.
With kindest regards and thank you once again,
Allen.
Thank YOU, Allen. Your support is a huge part of what motivates me to continue doing this. And huge thanks for buying my book, this is the oxygen that keeps this machine running (:
I'm really excited to be able to share my journey and knowledge, as they develop. I could never take this for granted.
I'm slowly finding my voice and my unique abilities, and with time I believe I could help even more.
So thank you once again, for everything! (:
Ohhhhh this was great!!! Really enjoyed it
Happy to hear (:
Thank you
Great stuff!! Thank you.
Hey thanks! This is an awesome warm up and it gave me a great idea for a watercolor doodle. Plus I saw some cool content on the scroll thru. intrigue to inspiration
great video. I will try that. Thank you
U are great man, thank you!
This video will forever hold up for beginners, I love it
Haha thank you 😁🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is great content! Thank you!
Thanks for that you share your experience 👍
Cross hatching exercise is fun!
Thanks Liron, very useful.
Happy you found it useful, thank you ^_^
Thanks so much for the advice
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. I have a sense of how to use color but I can't draw and I need to learn. These exercises are basic but rather useful. Hi from Cancun, Mexico.
So happy to hear, thank you 😊🙏🏼
What a great exercise to "split" a reference photo into those parts: when you see the photo, you immediately think it would be so difficult to draw the building, there are so many shapes, details etc. But by picking out those details/ lines/ forms it looses a part of this kind of "intimidation". Thanks for this inspiration - I think I'll be doing this exercise later in the afternoon.
good warm up exercise thanks
You have a new subscriber my friend. That was awesome! Thank you so much.

Your videos are very helpful, thank you
I do the parallel line warm up in a lot of my pen drawing for shading, I never thought about how beneficial it is, I've gotten pretty good with straight lines from doing it, I'll have to use the others to practice my curved lines and shapes as well!
cool! thank you Liron!
You got it! 😊🙏🏼
Interesting practise, I always make circles anticlockwise. I will try it clockwise!
thanks so much! Awesome!! very helpful!!
So happy to hear, thank you 😊🙏🏼
