Beautiful drawing and great instruction.
Appreciate that, Greg😀
That’s a very clear lecture about how to handle edges of a rock , it’s really helpful! I am also thinking using a solid line may not be like a natural rock . So your explanation just reaffirmed this idea.Thank you Stephen!
I’m always glad to be timely in what I present. That’s great David. 😀
Appreciate the fast and informative video. 👌
Great. I appreciate your telling me Karla. 😀
Thank you. I have always had problems with rocks. This was very helpful.
Great to hear. All the best with them in the future. 😀
Awesome Sensei ❤❤❤ Learned a lot
My pleasure 😀
This is a helpful video but also calming
How great to hear. 😀
A mundane subject turned into a beautiful drawing, and such a clear explanation of the process. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Julio. I had fun with this. Maybe because it’s the raw material for the architecture I love to draw. 😀
I love to draw rocks as a stress relief and this helps make them look more real. I always have too harsh of an line and rely heavily on an outline. Once again I have learned so much! Thank you for making these videos!
I’m really pleased to hear this Lydia. May you have many more happy and artful rocks in your future. 😀
THANK YOU for regularly showing your reference photo, in your outstanding lessons.
I think the video would be much less useful if I didn’t, and it’s so easy to to. I’m surprised if it’s not the usual practice. 😀
The sharp corner vs curving plane issue still trips me up occasionally. I use very fine paintbrushes for a lot of my work, and employ drawing techniques for the detail, and the painting always looks too flat when I mess up my edges. It's a very easy mistake to make when working from a single photo reference.
It’s a bit easier painting I think to get a slightly softer edge for a curving surface vs a sharp edge. Trickier with an ink line. But partly we do it for the challenge!😀
It’s absolutely looks amazing 🤩
Thanks for telling me. Appreciate it. 😀
I'm always learning from you. Thank you for sharing these videos.
I love to hear this. Thanks and all the best 😀
I just finished drawing that photo. Viewing my own drawing and compared with yours, I am glad to tell you that it's all right even though my drawing has a lot of room for improvement. The only major difference is the hatching on the left corner where you used vertical line but I used horizontal line. Anyhow, it s a nice attempt. only watching without put the pen on paper will never achieve anything.
thank you again for your video ! Stephen .
Excellent David. I’m really pleased it worked well for you. 😀
@@stephentraversart I have been following your tutorials all the time , the most important reason is you have a photo reference which your students can try themselves. After that they can compare their job with yours, from which they can find their problems . When I draw the photo , I try not watch your drawing, because I want to know ,by relying my own effort , how far I can go . One thing is for sure, only watching you draw without trying by myself , I would get no where 😃
Very helpful information. You work magic with a pen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Patsy. That’s encouraging for you to tell me. 😀
Very thank you for sharing your experience Stephen🥰
My pleasure Pat. Glad it’s been helpful 😀
*Thanks for video*
Hope it’s helpful 😀
@@stephentraversart It is, thanks again.
This tutorial rocks! 🤭 I have so much trouble drawing and painting rocks. This will come in very handy in my next attempt. Thanks!
Excellent. Of course with paint, you can establish planes in a way you can’t with line, but have fun whatever you’re doing 😀
@@stephentraversart I just draw along while re-watching your tutorial. These are the best looking rocks I have ever drawn 😃 Thanks so much, again. I like to make pencil value studies before I paint with watercolour. As watercolour is so transparent, I need to plan where the lighter values are and save them, while thinking of darker values where I can apply several layers of paint. A pencil value sketch is always better than going straight in with paint (as I have learned the hard way) This applies specially for rocks in my case. This was just what I needed. Thanks!
Great! Thanks, Stephen.
My pleasure Eugene 😀
Great ideas to improve my rocks!
Excellent Alyson. I’m pleased. 😀
Thanks for this. It is a great exercise as sandstone is such a common building material too. It is full of interesting points about contrast and line weight depicting uneven surfaces. Most useful and nicely unthreatening for learners too. I've recently discovered your channel and really like your sensible and clear approach to topics that can often be daunting and confusing. Thank you again.
Welcome aboard my channel. Thanks for your kind words. I believe good teaching makes the complex sound simple, so I particularly appreciate your comments. 🤣
@@stephentraversart I am pleased you are pleased. Have you addressed the topic of correcting converging verticals when using photo reference anywhere ? I'd appreciate seeing your thoughts . Many thanks.
I found your website! I think I enjoy your pencil work more than your ink work, lol 🤭 your paintings are very nice too! It is satisfying to see how you resolve complexity. This is one of Armen Mersmann’s strengths too.
Thanks. I like my pencil work as well. Graphite is a beautifully flexible medium to use. But I was sick of smudges and wanted to get ready for location sketching in ink in Europe, and watercolour work. Neither of which has happened. 🙁
Great vid as ever Stephen. What I took from this, which feeds into a previous drawing challenge I've faced - is that drawing is of a 1m square rock. However it could be a bigger landscape scene. The techniques and marks are similar. Going to revisit that drawing again!! Thanks mate
That’s great Desmond. This rock is about 1.5m x 0.5m, so the scale is about the same. Have fun. 😀
Hey Stephen, not sure if it's okay for personal request
I like to ask if it's okay for u to show how to draw a massive crowd of army marching? I'm quite interesting how to draw human crowds while they are like tiny ants in our pov.
Thank you in advance.
If you look in my playlist on drawing the effect of detail, a couple are on people. 😀
Good
Thanks 😀
Geology major here. Thank you
Rocks are so interesting. I walk regularly in a gorge cut through sedimentary rocks and I love looking at the patterns of the weathering layers. Perhaps I need to do more rock drawings 😀
It's difficult to leave the highlight on the rock
Yes. I meant to leave a little more than I did!😀
큰 도움이 됩니다 선생님
Thank. I appreciate that. 😀
05:37 bro I only blinked
😆
i just did it! Not as good as yours, but still! Tanks for the lesson. I watched the clip three times before....
Every time you draw a rock edge you will know what to do and will do it better. Have fun. 😀
Sub...wait for it... SCRIBED!
Excellent! Welcome aboard! 😀
You are my talking book
Haha. My pleasure 😀
I took art class every year of high school. I took art classes in college. NONE OF THEM EVER DID ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
Seriously, what's up with that??? None of those teachers were ever "here's how to draw a rock." NEVER. NOT ONCE. I feel robbed. After 20 years of giving up on art because it was far too arcane and made soulless by teachers pushing modernism I might actually pick up a drawing pencil again.
Better late than never. I didn’t restart my art until I was 50. Life’s too short not to give it a go. All the best with it. 😀
