"drawing is not always about drawing everything that you see, one you leave out is actually as important as what you include" -Teoh Yi Chie, 2016 I'll put dat in mind.

@dovy724 3 года назад

this is good

@PositivelyNice 7 лет назад

Sounds like it is drawing what you see, not what you think you see. Sometimes I think, maybe take off my glasses and draw will help me simplify better because I can't see much without glasses! 😅

@teohyc 7 лет назад

+PositivelyNice Sometimes I do that too 😁

Sometimes being perfection in sketching would stop us from doing what we like, thanks so much for this tutorial, it’s really helpful and changed my mindset on what sketching really is!

@elsagrace3893 7 лет назад

Thanks so much for this. I have the hardest struggle with simplifying. I have not found any instruction on this until this video.

@teohyc 7 лет назад

THanks :-)

@elsa Grace, YOUR COMMENT LOOKS SARCASTIC BECAUSE OF YOUR PROFILE PIC LMAO

@MH-ql4nh 7 лет назад

'Draw the longest line first.' Gosh, why didn't that occur to me? My buildings are terrible (proportions wrong, and I drive myself crazy drawing every last detail). Thank you for this tutorial!

@lemonbar77 7 лет назад

Your videos are not only informative and helpful, but they're also the most relaxing and peaceful videos I come across on RU-vid. Your voice, your calmness, your pace, the birds in the background....I rarely draw, but I watch your videos all the time. Thanks so much for the work you put into them and the art you create.

@teohyc 7 лет назад

+lemonbar77 Thanks for your support 😁

@PositivelyNice 7 лет назад

Omg this is super helpful! I have issues simplifying buildings because I like to be extra precise and accurate. I can simplify life forms because those are more arbitrary to me (they move around) but I find it challenging to ignore still lines.

@iexistunderkaeyasfeet3810 3 года назад

I really love your technique. I think I know now why I don’t like my drawing. it’s because I get anxiety and I focus too much on perfecting details but having it messy is the best form and it looks good!

@tommasoscaravetti1046 7 лет назад

"What you leave out is as important as you draw" Great piece of advice, I'll keep it in mind! 👍👍👍

@VampguyN85 4 года назад

The videos are great and informative. It's just intimidating to practice. I'm still a real beginner where it can take me an hour just to draw the first couple of lines. I can tell you have a lot of experience from the speed and accuracy but also since you dive right in with pen. I'm not brave enough yet lol. I erase my pencil lines a dozen times at least.

@andyoakley6861 7 лет назад

I love your loose free art style, Teoh. It has a real Quentin Blake feel about it. All your videos are so informative and I`ve learnt a lot from them.

The name of the tooth-like structures in the arch (any molding, soffit, eave or overhang really) are called dentil. The support railing is called a balustrade.

@karenvc8005 6 лет назад

This was an excellent tutorial. I was out sketching an old church today an see from this video all the pitfalls that I made by getting lost in the details instead of focusing on the basic elements. Thank you for helpful tips and suggestions!

@OrnBJonsson 5 лет назад

I have seen 2 or 3 of your videos and like what I see. You give good instructions and have got the ability to make things simple and clear. Thank you!

@deborahtaylor7902 5 лет назад

I have just found yr channel and cannot stress enough how important it is to me to see a reference photo as u sketch! Added plus is you explaining what u are doing. Thanks for the great instruction!

@barbhayes5613 7 лет назад

Brilliant tutorial! I'm so happy to see and hear exactly how you approach sketching a structure without getting hung up on the details. I am amazed how quickly you did the thumbnail sketch as well - great example of what you can get down in a minute or two if you don't have the opportunity to stop. Thank you!

Je ne sais pas combien de temps tu vas nous apprendre de trucs aussi simplement mais merci de le faire aussi bien chaque jour ! Bravo pour la clarté de tes explications. I do not know how long you'll also learn stuff we just thank you but to do both every day ! Congratulations for the clarity of your explanations.

@TheKapuzina 3 года назад

17:35 looks amazing. It's so simple but it got so much life in it. LIke the lighter area in the back and the darker area in the front, especially right front makes you feel like you in the shadows of the tree right now, relaxing, while enjoying the wider and lighter area in the background. Got me hooked straight from the beginning.

@JimSaling 6 лет назад

Thank you for the instructional videos. I have been struggling with simplifying as i learn to sketch. I also like seeing you draw and seeing the decisions you make. Very helpful!

@xxxorg 5 лет назад

I NEEDED TO SEE THIS TUTORIAL! PERFECT! THANK YOU MAN, I LOVE YOU!! NO HOMO!! I STRUGGLE WITH LITTLE PEOPLE TOO, GETTING THEM TO LOOK LIKE THEY'RE MOVING AND EXPRESSIONS WITHOUT DETAILS!!! OK, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE FANTASTIC TUTORIALS!!!!

@arya_crab955 2 года назад

thx. i think ppl really overcomplicate things, but this was much simpler and easier to follow

@ZeranZeran Год назад

I feel like this is going to help me in a big way Thank you so much! I love the way you simplify complex things and note that you don't need to include every detail. That's something I struggle with. Perfectionist to the point of fault and overcrowding. I'm excited to try again with your method!

@penglv1007 Год назад

what you leave out is as important as what you include. I like this sentence. in other words, simplicity is more.

@sheripatson5787 4 года назад

I like reviewing your tutorials they are always helpful to me as I practice " I find buildings intriguing " angles and dept of field are important as you show here

@merebrillante 6 лет назад

I need to work more with pen and ink to conquer my paralyzing fear of making mistakes. You are so brave.

@teohyc 6 лет назад

Think of drawing like learning to play a music instrument. You'll be playing wrong notes all the time until you get better. That's the learning process. Nothing to be afraid of. It's also like people who play basketball. They keep shooting the hoop until the ball goes in. They don't think about the times the ball didn't go in, they think about the times the ball will go in.

@AB-gn8oh 4 года назад

Thank you! Great instructional video that includes all the info I need for my drawing project..

@scottglasgow1752 7 лет назад

I enjoyed, and learned from, the entire video, but my most important takeaway might be your simple statement at the end, "Drawing is not always about drawing everything that you see; what you leave out is actually as important as what you include." Good advice. Thank you!

@noreenkellett3863 5 лет назад

Thanks , would have run a mile from such a detailed piece, but reckon I might give it a go now after watching this.

@sharonolsen6579 7 лет назад

Excellent lesson! And an extremely useful exercise for practice. I love that you emphasize the paper size aspect of drawing... Again, thank you for the time and effort you spend on preparing and posting these videos. I am finding them to be invaluable as I work to improve my skill set. cheers! :)

@melissabridge5687 6 лет назад

I know this is an older video. But I had to tell you how helpful this is. I always try to dray too much details and try to make it "perfect". I'm trying to get looser with my sketches. Thanks for all you do!!!

@creationsceecee 8 лет назад

thank you so much for this video. i'm just starting to get into cityscapes and for now i've only done simple shapes, almost abstract. but now i feel i can attack more detailed sketches. your instructions are clear and easy to follow. of course, your talent is amazing. once again, thank you!

@riverrunsfree 7 лет назад

wow. this is my first lesson on simplifying sketches. i'm always so caught up with the details that after i draw them, the final product looks really weird and doesn't really look like the original. thank you for this, Teoh! i just subbed. :)

@purplefugue 3 года назад

This is exactly what I needed - to learn how to simplify. I studied art in school and as such, always tend to draw what I see. It's been hard to unlearn those 'rules' for urban sketching. Thanks for this!! -- fellow Singaporean :D

@Geemeel1 3 года назад

Wow this is SO helpful , i tend to draw and color everything and with that it becomes....nothing. 🤫 your explaining is so patience and at ease. Well done!! ✴️

@jcr1563 6 лет назад

Thank you. Your explanations and demonstrations are really helpful. I’m new to sketching and you’ve answered questions I didn’t know to ask. Will do as you suggest and try a sketch of a cottage I did the other day in 3 sizes.

@kinslowrainer3982 4 года назад

Wow! Thank you very much for making this video. I've watched several of your videos now, and this is the one I think helped me understand sketching the most. By the way, I love your style. It reminds me of the Penguin Classics covers of Graham Greene's novels published in the 1980s.
