The texture of a pencil _is_ important - the grain discourages worrying about fine details before the proper time. if you try to pay attention to a defect that is too small, and zoom way in to fix it, the grains of the pencil remind you that fixing defects this small is futile, you shouldn't even be worried about it during sketching. I don't think that comes naturally for beginners. Many times I have felt "I'm trying to be good at art, and good is the opposite of rough, so I have to clean this up", but cleaning things up is a gigantic waste of time when you're trying to learn the magic of how to design things and bring ideas to life. A lack of imperfections does not bring an idea to life. It doesn't help at all. The proof is in all the artworks with imperfections that look right anyway. The skill that takes years to develop, and the only one we want to be practicing, is making things look the way we want them to. How to clean up linework, how to erase a stray line or patch up a hole that the fill tool leaks through, is something we basically all know from the very beginning, and need no practice in. Your life is plenty long to make all of the sketches you need to become a great artist. But your life will never be long enough to clean up that many sketches.
Red is the bad color in the U.S. stock market ("in the red"=losing vs "in the black"=profiting), but red is the good color in the Chinese stock market, because it was a color associated with good luck there since before stock markets existed. Green is the color of mourning for the people of Arrakis, because it symbolizes the green paradise they hoped for, but lost forever when the spice fields were discovered and the imperium decided not to terraform the planet. People never turned green when they were sick. But seasick and leaning over the side of a ship to vomit, the blue sky reflected off the water onto your face from below, your face looks green. Thus green is forever the vomitting color.
whale blubber as adhesive? that's actually not far off from an adhesive historically used in lining paintings - rabbit hide glue! it's just a different animal, and a different part of the animal.
Holy moly thank you. This was what I was looking for today. It's so hard for me to figure out what different brushes achieve and this at least gives me a great foundation.
I just started, and I find cubes to be the hardest to draw! Dx Really liked the video btw! Entertaining and informative, and I appreciate the simple assignments :)
Absolutely loved this video! It was super informative and true! I’m currently a product designer who dabbles with freelance UX/UI work so your channel really resonates with me! I think it’s unfortunate that most interior/product design companies are run with poor leadership, I had a similar experience in the job market. But thank you for the reminder that it’s okay to pivot when we are unhappy to, it’s all about growth in life so choosing something that allows you to grow is important! Great video again!
Good series man. It has been fun doing the exercises and i feel like o actually improved just by doing them. I am still kinda lost on reference to where draw ears when head is looking more in sideways, and would be awesome if you could recomend some study on noses and eyes separately. I feel like i'm still pretty sloppy on those.
I like both as well. But the new Wacom pro pen 3 is terrible. I don't know why they've made the buttons so hard to press, great if you don't use the buttons but I can't use it. Had to revert to the 3D pen, which is much better. Though I did use the pro pen 3 nibs in the 3D pen as the feel of those are nicer on the Cintiq.
Brad this is quite possibly the BEST learning resource I have ever come across (and I've been primary school teacher for almost 20 years!). Absolutely loved the first video and my inspired son may very well spend the entire day drawing together. Can't wait to enjoy more of these!
Hi I need a pen replacement for my wacom intuos 5 urgent, but I dont know wixh pen would be compatible with it? And for the price of a pen there ia smal intuos wacom that comea with a pen so I was wondering If I buy that tablet would the wacom pen in it be also compatible with my ild tablet so I can use both?
I'm a 31 yr old natural resources major who has always felt behind in my ability to draw. One day I would love to at least be able to draw some of the natural beauty that I get to see without feeling like a failure of a drawer and this video gives me hope that I may accomplish that.
i’m 16 and am watching a video definitely aimed at people around 8 years old. 😂 it’s about time i learn how to draw. i suck at drawing even the most basic of things and want to learn how to draw better because art seems like a very beautiful skill.
This is really good. I need advice. For my genres of art, I need to create artwork that is realistic. What software do you recommend for me? I can't afford a subscription, need a one and done. What I need the software to do is for me to draw yes but, also, sample colors from photos that are in the public domain so I don't have to work so hard at mixing RGB colors. What do you think of Rebelle real paint software? Thanks for any help you can provide.
