The ONE THING that will change the way your sketch 

Terrific video and presentation. I kept my attention on that angel because I knew as soon as I looked away that it would get closer and closer 😱. Paying attention to each action and how it contributes to the details and the big picture is something I have to remind myself and practice. This is great advice for artists and really for any hobby or occupation. I’ve worn glasses almost my whole life and, when younger, would remove them and the world looked soft and blurry. I’d draw that and actually got the values more correct than when I could see clearly. I had to learn to mentally change my perception of detail as I’m viewing the reference, which I find extremely difficult and beneficial. Expecting to place a mark on the paper in exactly the correct location, with the perfect value and hue, well, when I think about it that way, seems ridiculous. I see that you draw general values (sometimes specific), blend, erase, and repeat that multiple times to achieve what you want, and that is part of the work and process.

This is exactly the thing I needed today. :) I actually got up this morning with a plan in mind for being more mindful, trying to be more involved in my work and avoiding distractions. It really helped to reinforce that direction for me - thanks for making this!

I'm struggling here you say don't pay attention do close details but here you are shadowing before your done with your final sketch. This is how I learned to draw realism but never could fill the page finishing. Canvas art is so fickle, but necessary when you're in the business of selling real world art.

drawing real life art is much different from perspective in my opinion. you can learn how to shade and make a copy but understanding what to ignore and what to keep beyond real life perspective is hard. Drawing real life art and what you perceive is key. it helps developed your skills in a fine-tuned way but learning how to design what's needed to convey your message and the comfort of getting it right. looking at your work not just as a paycheck is hard. It's kind of funny typing that out. Like my whole art adventure was started over bad fivver art I paid for. Later on I tried to sign up to sell my art, and couldn't because they weren't hiring new artists. Life throws you curveballs like that. You know you love something with you have the desire to pick it back up when the world is telling you to put it back down. finding the courage to get back up and do it anyway no matter how many passions you have or what your reason.. that's real drive. be proud!!

This Man is upgrading himself daily. Beautiful Sketch and the process is so smooth.

This is great advice. I have some amazing art designs that I created AI (back before I learned how to draw) that just don't give detail to what I want. I feel more confident that I can make those pieces really convey what I want. This video kind of restored me to try, in a lot of places I just gave up. thank you

I thought this drawing was AI at first . That's really really impressive. Your drawing is gorgeous ❤

Learning from this I see objects actions don't neccessarly have a higherarchy over the 3 principles to line weight. I don't change perspective based on that important detail. learning slowly but surely.

Awesome insights and tips plus love all the ad-lib thru out, very funny. I've subscribed so look forward to further videos ✏📚😊

Amazing drawing! And thank you for the good advice! Subscribed.

This drawing is so soft and warm (funny because it's portraying status, if I'm not mistaken, which are rough and cold things) beautiful contrast

Great video. Mindfulness is so important, really paying attention to "what am I doing", instead of winging the drawing! Also I get easily distracted by music, working in silence can be difficult but its also really rewarding and I think it also makes the art experience more enjoyable

You are a Briliant artist! ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣

I am also a " from panter " and I exist and present in the world carrying a mission given by creati. To carve abstract lines , form appearances ( faces ) and, give a *COLOR * on my shabby canvas in the blue skye.

i promise you dont need things constantly popping up on the screen

​ @SKYL001 Absolutely beautiful, thank you! It has made me want to try my hand at drawing a statue. :) Just by the way, the memes do not fit well with your lovely calming video and I, personally, would love for them to be cut out completely. Nonetheless, the drawing and the advice was spot on... Just not sure I would like to see another video with memes in it?!?!

What a drawing my man 🔥🔥

Hey, awesome video! But the memes kinda remove the peaceful vibe of the music and watching you draw But still awesome video friend!

this dude is underrated!

A very clean work

Absolutely perfect ✨️💯✨️💯✨️💯

Great video thank you

Great stuff!!! Can you do a video like this but painting instead? I love to draw but I would rather go straight to canvas with paint instead, I would like to know a good approach to sketch in paint if you will

Amazing work. Which paper is this?

this is an angel and a girl or what .. ?? can you explain
