Hi Wei, I am new to art. I have started practicing these exercises yesterday. I have no natural ability to draw, that is why I never really got into it. I am amazed at my progress in drawing simple shapes, in such a short time. I wish that I had known about these exercises sooner. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and hard work with us. Do you have anymore RUclips chanels?
+Tony Alford Thanks Tony. It just takes practice and eventually you can feel the difference in your line quality. It all starts from that. This is the only channel I have. Thanks.
This one drawing I've been trying to perfect for a long time requires a lot of arcs. And you explaining wrist movement and how to hold a pencil has been a big help. I'm going to try and practice those skills. Thanks.
I totally agree with Tony. I am a beginner and feel exactly the same. It is really encouraging to see results quickly. You are a fabulous tutor , Wei. I have made progress much faster than I expected and I really appreciate that you have taken the time to share your skills with us . Thank you so much x
Brilliant Wei, every tutorial video is great, helped me a lot of understanding hands, eyes and mouths. Much more than I'm taught in college. You should become an art teacher. The way you describe and demonstrate is brilliant. Easy to follow. Excellent, keep up the good work.
+Dean Noble =). Haha, yeah, well, it depends on which college. Unless it's a dedicated art school, there isn't much good art courses in college. I went to a State college and really didn't learn much other than giving me the time to draw. The key is practice, the more you do it, the better you get.
I don't really ever do youtube comments but I'm glad you mentioned this. I always felt really disadvantaged for not taking any art classes in college. I guess getting good at anything is all about prolonged exposure.
Hello Wei. I had left my drawing in childhood. Now started with my new graphics tablet. I just saw this video and guess what. I could draw almost perfect circle in first shot itself. It's amazing to draw with your method. Your each video teaches something really basic which is foundation of great art. Thank you for teaching these tricks. It sounds technical.
hello! i love this one and "how to draw better lines". i have mentally put them together as my homework. you see, every day i make myself put pencil to paper. i am new at art and i figure i should work at it every day. i also realize though that i need to give myself "homework" where after each session i do specific things to generally improve my hand coordination. between this and the "how to draw better lines" i have some pretty great homework. i encourage you to create more of these sort of homework lessons and create a playlist for them. i am currently following a lot of artists and none of them have any sort of homework type videos. so i really appreciate these two you have. note that these are different from the "how to be a better artist" type work because these aren't tips and tricks. these are "do this 1000 times to be better" kind of stuff, imho.
Hello, Wei. Thanks for nice tutorial :-) I have a question. When you draw, what about the angle of paper? Some people just put on the desk, and draw. While other people put paper on the easel, so they tilt the paper like 80 degree. Which one do you recommend for beginner? Why they tilt the paper at all?
Hey Wei, great advice! I'm curious about one thing though: how would one go about drawing a very long curve as a final line? For example, a long strand of hair, or the outline of a body. I'm getting a lot better at drawing accurate curves for the sketch, but once I get to drawing in the actual linework I tend to make mistakes left and right
You'll need to draw the long curve as a series of connecting smaller curves. We're not robots so we can't draw that. But more importantly, I think, is to FORGET about the perfect curve. Sketchy lines are just great, and you'll learn more about drawing with that then the clean lines.
@@ArtofWeiHo Ah, I see! That makes a lot of sense, I suppose I could just be too much of a perfectionist in that regard. I'll keep this in mind. Thank you :D
I have drawn before, but I never put the time into improving my skills until recently, when I decided to work on my manga. What advice can you give me?
can u make a video on anatomy o suggest a book! for dt ..plz..ua wrks really Grt nd d knwldeg wch u gve us fo free is Grt! keep posting! it helps ppl like us who CNnt attnd art schools BT cn still do good wid such videos
Could you give the details on the pencil & lead you're using? I use a Pentel GraphicGear / 0.7 B and I think the technical nature of this pencil is pushing me toward a tighter style... Thanks for the lesson!
+markkens9 Yeah, go with a thicker or just regular lead. Those mechanical pencils with thin leads is good for extremely detailing and not good for sketching. You want a lead that offers you a wider variety of strokes.
your video helped me a lot but even after a lot of practice i keep struggling with small circles and small shapes in general. i got a lot of muscle memory and my bigger circles are pretty impressive for my standards by now but as soon as i try to draw smaller im not sure how to do it the right way i drew like a hundred sheets full of small circles but i cant get the wobble under control at least not consistently... i tried using only my fingers and wrist like with handwriting because it seemed like the right approach to me after noticing that my shoulder and elbow are not suited for the task (or are they and i just have to keep trying? xD) but it didnt work out
Hey, I know it's been a year, but since your post have you improved? I thought maybe if you held the pencil upright like they do in Japanese art you'd master those small circles.
but how you pratice to be better at doing lines and circles over each other perfectly like that? usually my hand goes wrong and it stops being a circle
I don't have the patience with myself when I use my arm to circle it spirals it from tiny to huge there be 3 centimeters between each line.. I don't have the patience I tried three times got spirals that arnt round at all nearly broke my pencil slamming it On my desk
+deqa #SADBOYS Thanks. Yes, I still have my Cintiq 22Hd. Have not been using it though, since I've been doing mostly 3D modeling on my statues. Thanks for asking. I still love the Cintiq though.
+Ji_Ba_Chan My channel doesn't generate much revenue. What I get from it maybe allows me to buys some toys and eat out at a fancy place maybe once a month=). Haha, yeah, it's very little. I have been selling collectible toys online for about 10 years now, still going. And I'm also creating statues for Yamato Toys. Just google " wei ho statues" and you'll what I've created. That's about it for now. I do freelance on 3D graphics and animations, but it's been awhile since my last project, which was with Disney Imagineering on theme park attractions. So the money is low, but I get to do what I love.
+Siberwar Well, inking, just like any other medium requires good hand control. So it's really all the same. You probably don't do sweeping arm motions with inks=).
In all my years, I never knew THIS was how artists make circles and arcs. Awesome. I’m already seeing a difference
Really, there’s multiple ways tho
These basic tips have really helped me improve my drawing, thanks! :)
+autumnshade84 Cool. That's what they're for. Thanks for watching.

I can't even keep my circles together like this, they always end up in a spiral, lol.

welcome back wei
+joe wee Thanks Joe, I'm always, just haven't had time to make more videos.
Art of Wei no thank you wei. My drawing improved alot. Of course of hard work. But your teaching played a roll too.
+joe wee That's always good to know joe. Thanks.
Thanks bro . The video is really helpful
What are those books on background?
I sell collectibles and some books online.

Now it does jsnznsbdviz
It was amazing thank you for tips
That is important....good to know, Thanks
Hi Wei, I am new myself. I am taking a drawing class through Udemy :)
Seems so simple and obvious buuut 🤯🤯🤯
Could you give the details on the pencil & lead you're using? I use a Pentel GraphicGear / 0.7 B and I think the technical nature of this pencil is pushing me toward a tighter style...
Thanks for the lesson!
I think just a regular #2 pencil would work just as well as whatever he is using. :P 👍
+markkens9 Yeah, go with a thicker or just regular lead. Those mechanical pencils with thin leads is good for extremely detailing and not good for sketching. You want a lead that offers you a wider variety of strokes.
+Like-a-Chala =). #2 works great too, but just not dark enough for that range of values you might want in a drawing.
your video helped me a lot but even after a lot of practice i keep struggling with small circles and small shapes in general.
i got a lot of muscle memory and my bigger circles are pretty impressive for my standards by now but as soon as i try to draw smaller im not sure how to do it the right way
i drew like a hundred sheets full of small circles but i cant get the wobble under control at least not consistently... i tried using only my fingers and wrist like with handwriting because it seemed like the right approach to me after noticing that my shoulder and elbow are not suited for the task (or are they and i just have to keep trying? xD) but it didnt work out

Tq brother
Excuse me Wei, but what kind of pencil were you using in this video?
It's just graphite pencil
What is the brand of mechanical pencil you are using?
Thanks that wos so helpful tip
Thanks i can do moon or anything
man im terrible at drawing i subbed to you hope u get even more subs😀
Even SpongeBob couldn't make a perfect circle like that...
=).
Thnx!
How creat very small curves or spirals or wave form curves? plz more tuts for beginners)
Great video!!
+tinktwiceman Thanks again.
could draw a good circle and lines with mechanical pencils
+prettyhearts1234 Okay.
but how you pratice to be better at doing lines and circles over each other perfectly like that? usually my hand goes wrong and it stops being a circle
I came here for curve tracing which is used in integral calculus...but I found this drawing video...LoL🤣
pls do tutorial to draw cara delevingne
My circle has thick border, how do i make it thinner like urs?
hii I want this pencil
I've noticed that when you draw circles you draw clockwise. I find it easier to draw counterclockwise. Does it make a difference?
Probably, it's whatever works best for you.
wow awesome! i subscribed to you channel :)
This was very helpful. Did you draw from the pivot of your elbow or shadow?
Your amazing
thanks;)
I'm having a difficult time using this for cartoons, any tips regarding this?
Do you do just drawing or do you paint as well, because I paint and would like to improve my painting techniques.
I don't have the patience with myself when I use my arm to circle it spirals it from tiny to huge there be 3 centimeters between each line.. I don't have the patience I tried three times got spirals that arnt round at all nearly broke my pencil slamming it On my desk
Tiger Heart are you better at it now? I tried drawing circles like that, but it is not working for me.

+deqa #SADBOYS Thanks. Yes, I still have my Cintiq 22Hd. Have not been using it though, since I've been doing mostly 3D modeling on my statues. Thanks for asking. I still love the Cintiq though.
+Art of Wei If you like 3D modeling, have you ever tried ZBrush? ;)

I don't know way but I have serious problem with practicing. Is there any solution for this!!?!
Is this work for inking the line art?

"You cant draw a circle like this"

Me who's here cuz my teacher complains about my cubic functions
What black pencil is that
That's a lead holder.
Even when i do that i cannot draw a circle
Me either.
these Tecniques seems very good for sketching, but don't for inkline, right?
+Siberwar Well, inking, just like any other medium requires good hand control. So it's really all the same. You probably don't do sweeping arm motions with inks=).
I still can't draw circles perfect just like you
More importantly, keep your arm or hand on the surface of the paper.
sir its good but your light makes me like im blind well im not mad tho its good:0
i can't draw because of my hands shaking.... Can you teach me how to get better at sketching
Hi
