The method of drawing a diagonal line from small print to maintain proportion and how to find the half way point by drawing diagnols from opposing corners. I have put your video in my bookmarks for future reference that tells you I appreciate this ver much.
It's always about perspective, however I'm getting better watching your videos. Lately I'm using paper coffee filters for wiping my brushes when painting watercolors, it works very well. The filters also can work a few miracles with smoothing shadows for charcoal sketches. I found my old Conte soft pastels, the white Conte is the best white for covering up any cloud lines then softly blending. So in a hurry I shopped online to buy more...OMG the price of Conte pencils or pastels made in France quadrupled in price. Missing the old days. Thanks for sharing, love your tips and techniques. Canada is mourning our Queen Elizabeth, we have faith King Charles will be following in his mother's footsteps. Blessings and take care.
My aunt started drawing and paining at the local Arts Centre when she was in her 60s. She had never done any art before but ended up producing incredible paintings. What was even more astonishing is she was partially sighted. Learning to draw/paint gave her years of joy for the remainder of her life.
@@margiepoulos1028 I own one of her paintings. It is a beautiful scene of a cove with waves breaking on the beach. Whenever I feel life is tough, I look at it and remember it was done by someone who was registered blind. Truly inspiring.
So glad to hear someone say “options that you have just got lying around your house”. Too, too many people these days have started saying “… laying around …”, as if these options are laying tiles or something in various locations around your house.
I really liked the tips on proportion, fitting the turtle image onto a larger paper, and finding the centre of a wall to insert a door. Great tips. Many thanks.
Excellent tips! I have been watching your watercolor videos. I came upon your watercolor painting tip that basically said no amount of watercolor can fix a bad underpainting. I realized that was my biggest problem area, so I clicked on this drawing video. As a retired geometry teacher, I am so impressed with the power of using the diagonals to find the center of shapes and to get the right proportions. Brilliant
Great tips! What I would suggest for angles is to place the pencil where the line would be above the photo and above your drawing, and simply slide the photo out from under the pencil. Angles can change while moving it across, so if you hold the pencil steady and slide the photo out from under it, then there will be a higher probability that the angles will be the same. I hope I explained this well enough.
@@samstewart215 I think the point is to duplicate an image without having the drafting or duplication tools. Freehand. And if I were to duplicate an image using tools, I simply would use a projector and just trace the image.
So many helpful tips!!!!! My favorite was the flowers facing in different directions, using the dotting tool and symmetry. I think these tips are going to help my drawings look so much better. Thank you!
Good tips. Thanks. I thought I'd mention that for the fence line, you can draw a rectangle, like the side of the house with the door, just using the height of the posts at the near end and the far end. With the cross to find the center, and dividing the halves into halves again and again, you can draw the fence line spaced essentially accurately.
I am appreciating these tips for the light pencil sketches for watercolor paintings. Without having the base correct, no matter how nice the paint application is, it still won’t look right. I’ve been a fan of yours (and your paints) for a long time now!
Yeah I agree I've been watching a ton of different content and she takes the cake when it comes to simplifying and explaining so I myself can understand so quickly and clearly..🙂🙂 so glad I found this. Plus the accent is super easy on the ears. Your awesome thank you for definitely helping me understand important information that I never knew even existed. Keep them coming. New Orleans sends love
Yeah! This is what I've been waiting for. I'm not much of an artist, my wife is the artist, but I like to create things like woodwork, metal work, music, resin works and my newest thing is making props for my puppet stage music performances. Your tips come in handy when I'm doing colors or using different mediums. Using your tips could possibly make my wife go OOOH! lol Been retired for a few years, but now is when I'm starting to do some projects. Wishing you a lovely day. And thanks so much for sharing...
I just found your channel yesterday, and I've watched 3 videos now. Each of them has held so many "A-HA!" moments for me. I've learned far more from 3 videos than I ever would have guessed. I really appreciate the fact that you not only demonstrate the incorrect way to draw something but then also the correct way. Perspective now makes much more sense. I'm 55 and getting back into drawing after years away. In less than 48 hours, I've learned more from you than I did in all the time before. Thank you so much!
You are awesome! Thanks for sharing lots of info in a short little video! Each video contains so much valuable help I get overwhelmed at how much I don't know! Thanks to you I keep pushing forward!! Condolences over your Queens passing! Truly a great lady the entire world can celebrate!
I‘m in my mid 70s, have done photography for some years, and am now ready to try drawing and watercolour. I’m finding your tutorials are literally taking me back to my classes at school and the old mind is reactivating! Thank you!
I’ve seen you demonstrate some of these tips before, but I appreciate that you continue to share as I definitely need refreshers as I continue trying to improve. Sure appreciate all you share.
I'm just learning to draw, and I watch every RUclips video I can find on the subject, especially those labeled tips and tricks. Most are really disappointing, and the promised tricks are more like advice (take an in-person class, for example). I was blown away by all of your very useful and easy tricks. I'm old enough to know that there's a trick to everything, and I'm so very grateful that you share truly valuable gems here. Thank you! I've subscribed. :)
I only discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago but I have found each of your videos packed with information. So much so that I need to take notes. I am working my way through all of them. One thing I appreciate is that I don’t feel pushed towards certain products, though I did buy a set square just in case. Several things about the way you used it made great sense to me. I especially enjoy the colour mixing tips. I took a short online course in colour mixing a few years back but I had no idea even how much water to put on my brush so it wasn’t a great success for me. You don’t leave anything out and, while you don’t talk down to your viewers, neither do you presume they know things that are that basic yet make all the difference. I would love to be able to draw but I have Essential Tremor and it is very hard for me. I still watch the videos on drawing though. There were so many interesting tips in this one but the one that particularly struck me was how to find the centre point on an angled wall. Also the method of really looking at photos to see that what my brain tells me is straight is actually at a bit of an angle. I do draw even though my lines are wonky. I have learned a lot from you already and I hope you make it well past your 100K subscribers! I always click the Like icon but realized from watching another person’s videos that comments also matter so here I am.
Ah, thanks Esther. If you suffer with tremors/shaking hands it's important to support your wrist, rather than 'float' it in the air, this will help a bit. Take care :-)
Also, don't be too put off if your drawings don't look so much like perfect representations of what you see. Your tremors will help to give your work its own signature, in the way that being left handed or colour blind can. Some very famous artists worked with disabilities of one sort or another and they produced characteristics that made the work special.
Thank you so much for this video. I've just recently started trying to draw and sketch things to go along with learning how to paint with acrylics. These tips are super helpful and I can't wait to try them out! My favorite one was the flowers. I struggle to get my flowers to look right when I'm painting.
I remember pencil sharpeners like that from school in 70's & 80's. I used to draw when I was a kid but stopped due to various reasons and I think I will start again. This video is helpful.
The best tip for me is to draw, and draw and continue drawing...the more you do it, the faster you educate your eyes to proportions and measurements...tip No 2 though is always useful when you have a composition with different ekements. Thank you! 💜
All those tips are great. The most helpful to me are the ones on how to keep the proportions of the motive when enlarging it, and how to get a straight line without visibly using a ruler. Thank you very much for this helpful instructional video.
Lots of great tips. Many I had noticed myself over the years just by drawing, but tips 2 and 3 are the most useful to me, especially 3 (the mini grid). I'm going to use these two scaling and mini grid until I can eyeball it again. I didn't draw for 15 years after being a prolific drawer and painter. Motherhood and side hustles....
Every tip was helpful to me! Your quick & concise descriptions with demonstrations made it extremely easy to apply these tips to my art. Thankyou so much for all you do!😊👍
Thank you very much, I'm a horrible drawer (not the cupboard type, that would be weird) but your tips have inspired me to have another go. You are wonderful!
This was sooooo helpful. The PDF is appreciated for reference. Thank you for giving this information all in one place rather than scattered only in various videos. I do watch for tidbits of info in your other teaching sessions/ demonstrations but fail to remember them. Thank you so much for this.
Great video there are to many tips that I enjoyed to mention. I am a beginner at drawing and these tips are so helpful. Thank you for doing this, take care
What a great video - each tip so helpful. I especially liked: how to make size of drawing proportional to photo, the sort of star grid rather than the usual grid of lines, again for proportion, as well as the narrowing of tall buildings. Proportion and perspective are big challenges for me. Thank you for this help.
I somehow fell away from the charcoal for Beginners into this video. I can’t find my way back at the moment, but want to say how you’ve really inspired me to try again with charcoal. I love all your videos I love the way you teach, I don’t think I’d still be even trying to do any form of art if it weren’t for your videos. Thank you so much. Stay safe❤
A drafting erasing shield is indispensable when erasing graphite and you want to get a curved or sharp edge when shading. They have lots of different shaped cut in them so they are extremely useful for any pencil drawings.
Hi Michele, I love your videos, and this one is just perfect for me right now. I LOVE the tip you have of sharpening pencils because they just look at me and disappear. All the tips are great but this tip of light sandpaper for sharpening pencils is a new one on me and is just what I badly needed to keep my pencils that much longer. Also the straight lines without the ruler. Keep these great videos coming I love them, and judging by the comments here, so do many more. And I love your sense of humour. Don't ever take your humour out of your videos. It's great to have a lesson and laugh at the same time. It works. Saying that please dont think I'm demanding it or trying to pressure you into putting it into every video. No. I know its not something you can throw into every video you can't force these things. It would not work. Just keep doing what you're doing now. You know where the humour fits in and when it doesn't. You have the perfect balance. Thank you so much Michele for everything you've done. Much love and God bless. Susan 👍❤❤❤❤🎨🖼🌹🌹🌹🤗🙏🙏🙏
I’m so glad this video was recommended to me today! It’s, by far, the best drawing tips & tricks on one video, I’ve ever seen! Helpful and your instructions are so easy to understand! I’m definitely a new subscriber and definitely sharing to my artistic friends! Thank you!❤️ ⭐️
I thoroughly enjoyed all of those neat tricks! One of my watercolor teachers called to tell me to watch it as she thought I would learn a lot from it. Thank you!
You did a very good job "introducing" logic to artwork! Thanks for the tips! -I really liked the mirrored image in water tip! I found it very enlightening.
THKS FOR SHARING - I appreciated the to find the centre front of the cottage in order to know where to place the door, and also to angle the vertical lines to make a building appear taller. 😊

Oh yes, good point! There are so many videos out there with dreadful music in the background! Thank you for leaving out the tunes.
I completely agree!
I am 85yrs young and want to do drawing and watercolor painting, thank you for the interesting video, hopefully l can manage to make a nice picture
Thanks!
Many thanks Eileen, I appreciate it!
So glad to hear someone say “options that you have just got lying around your house”. Too, too many people these days have started saying “… laying around …”, as if these options are laying tiles or something in various locations around your house.
Lots of bad grammar in the world...
One of my pet peaves is grammar AND SPELLING 🤣🤣
@@cindysheets1824 I think I may have missed a comma or two in my original comment. Sorry.
Yeah, those untrustworthy objects. Always lying.
Loved how to create an even sided vase!
I love the tip on drawing flowers facing any direction.
You are most welcome!
Not long after an operation and you are a great help in my recovery.
Ah, wishing you a speedy recovery!
I really liked the tips on proportion, fitting the turtle image onto a larger paper, and finding the centre of a wall to insert a door. Great tips. Many thanks.

Also used in technical drawings , a basic drafting technique utilized in a non tech way. Good lesson.
I also thought about how much mathematics and geometry is involved in many...maybe most...of these tips.
Who can choose one best trick? These are so helpful! Thank you 😊
So glad!
Great tips! What I would suggest for angles is to place the pencil where the line would be above the photo and above your drawing, and simply slide the photo out from under the pencil. Angles can change while moving it across, so if you hold the pencil steady and slide the photo out from under it, then there will be a higher probability that the angles will be the same.

Or use an adjustable drafting triangle.

Your hands are beautiful. I love the green fingernail polish. Nice!!
Thank you so much!
Excellent tips! Thank you for sharing your expertise so freely, it really does make us beginners feel more like “we’ve got this!”
The lips and eye tips were great, as were the texture and winding road and fence posts.
Glad you found it useful!
I really like the geometry tricks for getting the right sizes and perspectives.
I also caught the green nails with the frog ring, a nice touch 🐸

Hi Michele, I love your videos, and this one is just perfect for me right now. I LOVE the tip you have of sharpening pencils because they just look at me and disappear. All the tips are great but this tip of light sandpaper for sharpening pencils is a new one on me and is just what I badly needed to keep my pencils that much longer. Also the straight lines without the ruler. Keep these great videos coming I love them, and judging by the comments here, so do many more. And I love your sense of humour. Don't ever take your humour out of your videos. It's great to have a lesson and laugh at the same time. It works. Saying that please dont think I'm demanding it or trying to pressure you into putting it into every video. No. I know its not something you can throw into every video you can't force these things. It would not work. Just keep doing what you're doing now. You know where the humour fits in and when it doesn't. You have the perfect balance. Thank you so much Michele for everything you've done. Much love and God bless. Susan 👍❤❤❤❤🎨🖼🌹🌹🌹🤗🙏🙏🙏
