Contour Drawing with a Viewfinder - My Experience
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 мар 2018
- Today I sketch and draw using a viewfinder on a glass picture plane. I am going through Betty Edwards book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and sharing the exercises I do. In this video I share my experience and what I learned.
I am an artist.

I have the book and I love it! Great hand, i need to start practicing 👍🏼
Thank you for explaining and demonstrating so clearly as I struggled to wrap my head around exactly what I was being asked to do. I did however find the background music rather distracting when I was trying to to listen to you. Many thanks
Love the drawing community. Thanks for sharing. ❤
I love how fearless you are. I'm paralyzed with fear.
Thank you! Keep trying. You've got this.
Thanks for sharing! i think I'm going to finally buy this book.
Glad to hear! Would be curious to know what you think of it.
I come from 2020 and i'm in this lesson
Hey I just finished this exercise and the book said to draw slowly just like the pure contour drawing exercise. I find myself drawing broad sketchy strokes like yours and then slowing myself down when I noticed what I was doing so I guess it was conflicting to stop my L side from taking over. Plus being unable to get the same hand position bugged me since I marked on the paper the points from the picture plane. The whole experience was a doozy all n all, thanks for sharing yours.
Thanks for the comment and for sharing your experience! Good luck with your art.
I registered for a fear free drawing class and I purchased the book. Your video was very helpful . Thank you so much for posting it. 👍🏾 New subbie
Wonderful!
This exercise is really hard for me, I get super anxious trying to get everything right and I still haven't been able to do it after a few days. This video and the comments motivated me, thank you!
PS: I think I'll skip the picture plane and just draw my hand, trying to follow it just distracts me from drawing what I see on my hand
I did the same. It over-complicated the whole process for me, plus making the planar window is added physical effort away from drawing and my brain doesn't like work.
And now I'm trying to fill one of my sketchbooks with nothing but hand drawings. It's nice to see them get better and better each time.
Hi. Your video is very helpful for me. Thanks a lot.
Thank you!
Thanks Angela :)
this is by far the most frustrating exercise in the book, for the same reasons you mentioned. I just cannot get my hand in the same position as in the picture plane. I'm thinking of skipping using the picture plane and going directly to the part where you pose your hand and draw what you see
GO for it! It's all good practice. Best wishes.
I have stoped with theses exercises, thank you! I will restart now! Great video!
I feel glad for your comment.
Thanks for the comment. Wishing you success and all good things.
Angela Moulton thanks, I m Brazilian, and my English is to bad kkkk hope you understand.
Da pra perceber que é br mesmo ahshsh
Thanks a lot
I am in the same chapter, and I am getting some headaches trying to keep my other eye closed. I am listening to the audio book of drawing on the doming eye by Betty Edwards too, and there is no mention on that issue. Did you experience the same? Did someone else experience something similar? I was thinking about using something to cover the other eye just to avoid the extra effort.
do you mean the dominant eye? I dont remember that part. but mainly the author is trying to get us to make left logical brain drop out. covering the eye seems like a good idea. also try a little meditation beforehand to clear the mind
I'm finding hard time to balance the view finder it keeps slipping of my finger tips
Thank you for the input. I am working on an updated video about the viewfinder and will try to address some of the issues people are having. Now that I have used it more, I have more to say.
@@prattcreekart thanks
Sorry for the late thanks
I finally attempted this again I want to do 3d animation for games and did 3d modelling but attempted again today
I traced my hand its not perfect not enough wrinkles but I managed to finish it now tommorow am going to transfer it into paper as finished not perfect hopefully finish this tommorow
kitabı almıştım,tüm etkinliklerin uygulamasını gösterirsek harika olacak
Where did you get the glass from?
from a picture frame. be careful. if the edges are sharp, cover with tape to protect from cuts.
She switched in to r-mode 😂😂😂
Can you tell me proportions of viewfinder? In book it makes me so confused. I need also in cm.
I am sorry. I don't have this book right now. I hope to do an updated video in the future and answer view questions like this. Thank you.
@@prattcreekart Thank you very much :)
my viewfinder is 25.4 x 20.5 cm or 8 x 10 inches. I just made a new one with a sheet of plexiglass
Honestly, how is this any different from tracing ?
Maybe one didn't explain it well. Contour is the outline so thee just focus on that instead of all details as thee could do with tracing. So yeah, similar but focused on the edges of the object being traced. Good question. Thanks.
Tracing is a great way to learn how to draw and build your visual memory library. Don't discount tracing as a learning exercise. So many people think it's a bad thing and it's just not. It's another way of practice: how to see, observe, and create shape, and see how shapes relate to other shapes. Of course if you're tracing someone else's work and passing it off as your own, that's when it's not good 😂
The music is too overpowering to concentrate unfortunately 🤪
if you're going to do a demo I think you should prepare better and do a better job. messy toning, inaccurate drawing on viewfinder and talking while drawing which goes against Betty Edwards L/R brain theory. I'm a drawing teacher , I tried using this video. just some feedback.
Thanks for the tips. The voiceover was done over the drawing video after I finished. Notice I do not call this a "How to" video because I am a drawing student myself sharing my experience with this exercise. I appreciate all tips and insight.
best of luck. Hope that didn't sound too harsh.

Does this need to be done with a viewfinder?
the video is on my experience with the viewfinder. there are probably many other techniques and practices to get to your destination with contour drawing
This is the part where i can see myself sacking off, too much messing about making a viewfinder and plane for me, frustrating.
