This video makes me very excited. I remember in 3rd grade when we were told to get a leaf, trace it in the paper, then color it green. Everyone got a perfect score but me. So politely I ask my teacher what I did wrong. She replied that the leaf I drawn has brown on it instead of green. In my mind "but there is a brown part of the leaf." That is when I knew that following the instruction of the teacher is more important than being original and creative.

I'm the type of person who doesn't comment on RU-vid videos. But today I decided to do it because I'm very grateful to have found your channel. Firstly because the way you speak is so calm, pleasant and the English is easy to understand (since I'm not a native speaker). This video seems to have made me believe that I will be able to draw one day, so I wanted to thank you for your work and encouragement. Absolutely loved your channel.

I never noticed that a mug is curved at the base. I would have drawn a straight line. So I learned something new today.

@mandysmith2927 2 месяца назад

I'm 70 and always had the dream of drawing, painting...I felt like drawing has to be a first step for someone without talent-a total beginner. I've been searching RU-vid for so long, and all of the Drawing for (total) Beginners videos are not that! But your first video for this course just fills me with so much joy and hope. Your voice is gentle, calming, and affirming. I did the shapes drawing and felt so calm when it came time to put those shapes into drawing a mug, Thank you so much. I'm here for the long haul!

@cindytaylor6657 4 месяца назад

This is a pretty tall order. I am 70 yo. I always wanted to draw and paint but even stick figures failed me. Last year I started watercolor which I am terrible but it soothes me. I attempted to draw a little every night but became very discouraged. One thing is I love to learn! I am going to give this a try. Thank you.

@paulareb2074 Месяц назад

Just yesterday I sadly realized that I don’t have a hobby, something I really look forward to do everyday and whenever I have some spare time. Suddenly today I came across this video and it made me smile. I love how you communicate and how you take pressure off the process. I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw but my perfectionism paralyzes me. I’ll do it this time with you by my side. Thank you so much because this video really made my day!

I have always wanted to learn to draw. It's been something that I have dreamed about for literally decades. My mother could draw and it always fascinated me. It's always been something i have admired in others and I've just always thought i could never do. Every time I think about trying to buy a sketchbook and a few pencils i get afraid and a bit overwhelmed in the art store and I just don't. 😞

I know what it is to have Cancer. I'm sorry that you have Cancer. It keeps you from getting anything done. Then it's difficult to enjoy life when your recovering. I had a hysterectomy & I had a double mastectomy. And recovering from surgery is difficult. My life hasn't been the same after having Cancer.

So many people act like art is some magical talent your born with. That's definitely not how it feels. It takes patience and effort like anything else. I just never stopped doing it since childhood. It was fun to me and stayed that way all these years. I think your videos will really help people learn that they can make art too! And it doesn't have to be a harshly judgmental experience. ❤

I have followed you for several years and have been impressed with how you can create art with almost anything on almost every type of surface. The blank page Roaring Spring Composition book shown at 9:06 has become my favorite non-precious journal--anything goes and 'mistakes' are completely allowed! It's the best for shutting up the perfectionist voices in my head (monkey, be gone!). Thank you for these videos!

@Nana-gp5jr 19 дней назад

First of all thank you so much! I've been looking for videos on how to start my art journey properly, I've been drawing for years but I noticed I really don't have a base so I decided to start all over again. Honestly I forgot what art is for me,it's how I express myself and being able to create something beautiful. Unfortunately I began to loose motivation and even finding the time to do it so when I stopped for awhile and sat back down I couldn't draw anything that I'd like ,I started to hate it so here I am trying to get back into one of my favourite hobbies. I hope I can really learn something from these videos because the other tutorials are just overwhelming and it's difficult to find an effective source from where to start. I really like how you explain, your voice is soothing and it gives me the motivation to take my time and just enjoy the process without worrying about perfection.

Thanks. I especially appreciate the reminder to enjoy the process, which I also heard through prayer. Art school added an element of agony, with the time pressure of deadlines & the severe grading in a harsh, boot camp atmosphere. I just shake my head, what they make of art at that school. Now, I can resume art & drawing, after a break, while actually enjoying the process. This reminded me to be calm, & was worth the time to watch for that gain.
