I just start learning to draw at age of 57 and really enjoy your free lessons. Thank you for a very clear simple way to explain those complicated concepts in art. ❤
I began to draw at age of 45. Now I am at age of 47. Her video drawing lessons are funny. She is born to be Art Therapist and Teacher in Drawing. She is so calm and patient. 😊😊😊
I have a question. When you are drawing. Do you mainly have your hand on the table or hovering? I've learned that when practicing and drawing circles I need to lift it up. But when you were drawing the petals I wasn't so sure...
I'm doing a mix of the two :D It depends how large and what type of line you want. For the larger petals I move my hand across the page - its never lifted completely off the paper but isnt stuck in one place. For the smaller petals my hand stays in one place and just my fingers and wrist move. For the vines Im definitely moving my hand across the page. I talk a bit more about the two different ways of moving your hand in this Lesson One if you havent already seen it: ruclips.net/video/ing1x95WZ_I/видео.htmlsi=Yp8MeyxYK0LY4UwB But yes when you are drawing circles you do want to lift your hand from the page so it can move, but I always have one part of my hand still touching and sliding across the page for support. Thanks for the question and for watching!
No easier than a regular pencil. It is 2mm but it has a point so the effect is the same as a regular pencil. I use it for teaching because it is reasonably dark but also hard which means I don't have to sharpen it.
Sure, give it a go. Curves are good for practicing overhand control. Keep in mind that overhand grip is more useful when: you are drawing on a larger scale your drawing is at an upright angle you want to achieve line quality effects with the side of your pencil (eg thick to thin lines) So, you don't have to use overhand but it is a good thing to practice for coordination and control.

Thanks again. I''ve been wanting a simple little petal shape.
Thank you very much ❤❤❤
I love the "Boost Your Skills" exercises. I always come back to them.♥

Thank you
Oh man I'm gonna need to do this multiple times 😭
It's a good way to figure out what your challenges are and then you know what to repeat practice until it becomes easier!
That's true!
Question is it easer to draw with the big lead pencil that you have looks like about 2mm ?
No easier than a regular pencil. It is 2mm but it has a point so the effect is the same as a regular pencil. I use it for teaching because it is reasonably dark but also hard which means I don't have to sharpen it.
Thank teacher. 🥰🥰😘😘😘😘
You're welcome 😊
can you use these exercises to practise an overhand grip?
Sure, give it a go. Curves are good for practicing overhand control. Keep in mind that overhand grip is more useful when:
you are drawing on a larger scale
your drawing is at an upright angle
you want to achieve line quality effects with the side of your pencil (eg thick to thin lines)
