How well can you control your pencil? If you are a beginner, chances are you cant always get your pencil to do what you want it to! This can be problematic when you are drawing something that you cant reduce down into simple shapes - you actually have to look closely and just draw exactly what you see!
In this lesson, we'll explore the different qualities of lines and edges, including thickness, hardness/softness, and lightness/darkness. We'll also practice observation skills through a continuous line drawing exercise before applying everything we've learned to a final drawing project.
Continuous line drawing is one of those exercises which is really challenging and people tend to avoid it if they can, but its so, so valuable! In this lesson we'll use it to slow down and focus on edges, allowing us to clearly see and accurately draw our subject.
This free drawing lesson covers:
• how to draw different types of edges/lines
• how to use contour drawing to see clearly
• how to use edge quality to enhance your drawing
MATERIALS:
• Sketchbook
• 2H - 2B pencils
• eraser
• tissue

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed following along in my sketchbook - and will probably try another monstera-leaf, as I "lost" my veins a bit at the end. I'm looking forward to going through your other videos!

Thank you Emily. I love your soft, gentle, calm, relaxing voice and teaching style. Your explanations are clear and you certainly simply things. I have wanted to draw for so long and I actually feel like I’m making progress following your lessons. I’d love to post my progress & get your critique, but I’m not a fan of FB 😊. I have a loooooong way to go but I can tell you that I can actually recognise what I am drawing from your lessons. That’s progress, right!? 😂 Thank you for your time and for this course.

@ThePencilRoomOnline 4 месяца назад

Thanks for your kind words Gary. I'm not a fan of FB either and I often don't get the notifications so you may not get feedback there for a while anyway 😅 Glad to hear you are making progress! Just keep going and you'll keep improving - sometimes the progress might plateau which doesn't feel great but if you can push through those times, the practice pays off! If you do ever decide you'd like some detailed feedback of any of your drawings, my membership is where I put most of my focus. There is a charge of $20 per month but you can send me a bunch of work and I'll critique it for you. Otherwise just keep practicing! Best of luck 😊

@garydickinson7526 4 месяца назад

@@ThePencilRoomOnline thanks Emily. Very much appreciated. Glad to hear it’s not just me re FB 😅 I’ll certainly keep going. I do struggle with the shading especially the shadows but… it’s early days 😉 Thanks for the subscription info too. As a matter of interest, I’ve picked up your Kiwi accent, I hope 😬 - is that $20 US or NZ? In the meantime, I’ll keep penciling in my pencil room. Take care!

@ThePencilRoomOnline 4 месяца назад

Yes its a Kiwi accent! 😄 The membership is in US dollars to keep it consistent. If you haven't watched them already, here are a few tutorials I made to help improve shading: Test Your Shading: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MtGLGhoJT4Y.html How To Draw Water Droplets: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_tUwde4-2dQ.html Boost Your Shading Skills: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xh7mhSjudS0.html It gets easier with practice!

Thanks for your lessons. I have been away from my art for months now. I hope to get back to a schedule again soon and begin making some progress. Always enjoy your videos.

@ThePencilRoomOnline 11 месяцев назад

Welcome back to drawing! Don't make scheduling too difficult for yourself, just a little bit of art here and there in a sketchbook or taking a youtube tutorial now and then to start making it a habit 😊 Thanks for watching!

@joannsmith9 15 дней назад

I hope I can can draw 1/2 as good as you do

@ThePencilRoomOnline 12 дней назад

@sharonh988 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much Emily. I'm off to find a leaf outdoors. 😀

@ThePencilRoomOnline 5 месяцев назад

Excellent ☺🍀

@cmonaco577 Год назад

Thank you, Emily. Shading the dark edge/line (around 3:41), should the dark edge/line still show after the shading? Why are we shading the it?✏

@ThePencilRoomOnline Год назад

The idea is to create a line that has very soft edges. Its difficult to just draw a line with soft edges so instead we can shade one or shade over one to give it that softness. The line underneath should mostly disappear under the shading. This type of line could be good for edges in the background of a drawing or for edges of a shadow. Hope that helps!

What is being done her, with the leaf, isn't nearly as easy as it appears to be! A few folks can do it. I saw my mother draw by looking at a photo of some birds. When she was done it looked exactly like the birds in the picture. I was amazed! That started my interest in drawing. Yet, even today I have difficulty in drawing an object by looking at a photo and getting it as good as she did. She could draw it the same size but, couldn't get it to look right drawing it larger. She said she draws what she sees in the proportion she sees it and could do it any larger. To bad she wasn't aware of the methods that are used to draw it larger.

@ThePencilRoomOnline 8 дней назад

That's interesting about your mother being able to draw at the same size! Getting proportions correct with contour drawing like in this video gets easier the more you do it. Speaking of drawing size, I definitely find that students and myself included have a comfortable drawing size that is unique - some people naturally draw small and some people naturally draw large (some people like your mother just have a good eye!). But yes it's good we have methods to check proportions at any size! Thanks for your comment and for watching :)
