    Learn all of the materials involved in sketching and drawing and also some basic shading techniques and sketching concepts.
    In this video, I start off going through all of the materials you're going to need for learning to sketch and draw. Once you have a better understanding of those, you can start drawing simple shapes and lines and practicing sketching with an HB, B, or 2B pencil. These are good pencils for sketching lightly but also allow you to go a little darker when needed for shading. I plan to cover perspective, values, edges, shading techniques, proportions, landscapes and many other topics of sketching and drawing for beginners and intermediate artists.

    The whole perfectionist mentality is what was holding me back for sure. Once I got it into my head that nothing is perfect, and that my sketches and drawings evolve over the course of creating them, I found I became a lot more able to create things from my mind onto the paper. Thanks for the guide, I owe you a beer!

    Absolutely brilliant. That one piece of advice ‘don’t commit’ has transformed my thinking. I’m 55 and have always thought I couldn’t draw because my art teacher at school said so. I just drew a circle with shading and shadow and it’s made me so happy! Will definitely be drawing everything in my house and looking forward to the next in the series.

    After several years of leaving my passion for drawing, here I am, an 18-year-old who's trying to restore his passion. It's so hard for me to go back to drawing after I have been rejected when I was in 6th grade. I was so easily discouraged. Yes, I still know how to draw but there's a feeling inside me that I was left behind. I want to start over again and learn the basics, yet it really is hard to start something. Planning to finish this whole series, watching your other vids about color and stuffs and hoping I could bring back my passion for drawing :)
    Btw, this tutorial vids are cool. Very beginner friendly

I want to be able to sketch concepts to illustrate ideas and metaphors. I watched your first video and was amazed that I could sketch a pretty nice sphere! I just wanted to let you know that you have a wonderful style. Inspirational. Thank you for doing what you do.

I’m now 33 and have been wishing I still could do what I used to. I was looking for videos exactly like this that would break it down for me and make me not obsess over everything all at once and give up. I am so excited to start sketching everything again.

    Whenever I asked other artists how do I get better at drawing, one of the worst pieces of advice I've been given was "Just draw/just practice" Well, I've been "just drawing" for about ten years and I'm still at an amateur level. What I meant was HOW do you practice? What techniques do you incorporate? What are the steps? To me, it's just a condescending way of saying "Figure it out on your own."

    • @SchaeferArt
      @SchaeferArt  5 лет назад +146

      Read drawing books, go to the library if possible. No need to even buy books. Read them, draw everything in them. Draw your surroundings. Learn to render form and light through shading - put the techniques in said books to use. Start from simple objects and build to complex. If you did anything else for 10 years, do you think you'd improve? It seems you should start evaluating what you're doing and try different things to solve the problem. Find ways to solve the problem. The internet is an amazing resource for books, videos, articles and all kinds of things on drawing. I'm sure you can use this to your advantage. I hope it goes well and you find what you're looking for. To be honest, this is my method, I did all of these things I mentioned above including drawing from life and my surroundings.

      There is not a clear way at all. That's why they say "just practice". You need to find what you suck at first. It may be perspective, values or rendering. Read about the topic that's the most hard for you and just practice that, NOTHING ELSE. Then when you're decent at that fundamental, switch it up for another. The fundamentals of drawing are like a wheel, you keep rotating them and going back to them.

    I never understood what the point of sketching was, I thought It just looked messy so I always fully committed. I really wanted to draw but because of my hard commits it always looked trashy so I never could make an habit.
    Now at 21 years old you just explained _why_ people sketch. Not to make random lines but *'to find the right line within the lines'* and the with vs without sketch, for the first time I tried the damn thing and I've just drawn a perfect circle for the first time in my life and it feels amazing..
    I feel so ashamed. You have my thanks dude!

    Hey man. Just wanted to say thank you for this series. It helped a lot in getting started. Drawing can be scary if you're in the wrong headspace and this made it easy.

    I've always used different forms of art as an expression of myself my whole life. A couple years ago, after several medical problems, I had a stroke. I was only 48. I've been terrified to begin again for fear of what I might not remember. This online tutorial was amazingly effective at getting me back to holding my tools. Also, assuming I know nothing, I don't have to feel stupid if I can't remember something I learned in freshman art. Thank you for a place to begin again.

    Incredible!! Been wanting to learn since I was a child and always thought you had to basically be a natural at it. It's beautiful to see the science of it, as a programmer I love the componentization of each stroke and how it contributes to the overall picture or vision. Going to start sketching everything in my house lol

    Lessons I got from this video. Thank you 💖
    Materials
    ✨sketchbook
    ✨pencils
    ✨ erasers: gum,kneaded, regular eraser
    ✨pencil sharpener
    ✨blending stumps
    ✨sandpaper
    Pencils differences:
    ✨B : black | the higher the number the softer the lead
    ✨H : hard | the higher the number the harder the lead
    ✨ HB : in the middle
    Lessons:
    ✨do not commit to a single line, try to generalize your ideas first even tho it doesn't look good, you can outline it after and erase the unnecessary lines
    ✨"It's not gonna be perfect the first time you draw something"
    ✨"Take your time to sketch"
    ✨" Get rid of that perfectionist mentality and get into training mode"
    ✨Shade lightly
    To make it 3d
    ✨define where the light is coming from
    ✨Is it shining behind it hitting the back of it? or is it more towards you?
    ✨ Near: light ; Away: dark ; reverse from light source: shadow
