      I Wish you a whole lot of good luck for the future, i really respect your work .The hardwork, decency and perfection of your work doesn't need to be talked about. It can easily be seen. I really really can't wait for you to reach 1 million. Once again It amazes me to see the hardwork and research that is put in your work.

    How I shade:
    1.draw something
    2.find places were light wouldn’t touch(indentations,spaces between objects,etc…)
    3.scribble where you want the shading
    4.smear/smooth it with your finger
    5.look at your finger that’s covered in graphite and regret all life choices

      @pumpkinguts2 5 ปีที่แล้ว +70

      I use a tissue :I
      Edit: Guys pls give me a break this was 3 years ago LMFAO, fr tho things other than ur finger that help are tissues, q-tips, blending sticks, or don't smudge at all and use techniques like hatching, cross hatching and stippling. Other things that may help for starting out is turning the photo black and white to practice seeing lights and darks! Ur finger works fine as well though, whatever helps u most is best there's not really "rules" to art

    I’ve got a learning disorder that has ruined learning anything for me, all my life. I desperately want to learn to draw and paint and have watched literally hundreds of TH-cam art tutorials. You and painter Stuart Davies are the only 2 instructors I’ve ever been able to understand. Can’t nail down what’s different; you just have a way of explaining things so I can “see” the instructions in my head.
    Thank you so, so much. ❤🙏🏼

    I just wanna say that your art is very imperessive and your videos are easy to follow and not that difficult. I have to say, I saw my art progress really fast, I repeated each drawing at least 3 times and I saw that it was getting better and better! Little tip for the begginers, you just have to do EVERY day a a small session of 20, 40 min and you will see progress very quickly!

      Yes I agree with you. Sketching is also a Science and also related to Sports. The technical terms involve here in this category are: eye-hand coordination, muscle memory,repetition,emphasis, transition, approach, trial and error, rule of thumb, deduction, observation and many more. That is why there is no golden rule in Drawing, you must perseve using your senses and observed, by researching and studying it on your point of view and mindset. Well Science also means "Discourse or study" . 😁 👍 ☕ 🍩 🙂

      Most teachers are probably teaching just to get their paycheck, gain status, or simply to bully students. Reasons vary, usually, frustration over their own achievements, getting burned out, not enough pay or recognition,or a lack of teaching skills or passion for teaching others.

    Thank you! You are one of the best! I love the way you demonstrate how to draw/shade by explaining in detail step by step and the rationale for each step. Many other excellent artists just do but don't explain in detail what/why they do what they do -- and how. And the background music is pleasant. I just subscribed. Please keep up the excellent instructions.

      6B is so satisfying to use though. It's like drawing with a piece of butter. HB feels really hard after it.

    That apple drawing is far better than anything I could ever do after the first 10 or 15 seconds!

    “It doesn’t have to be perfect at all”
    So is it okay if it looks like it got run over by a car, sliced into a million pieces, burnt into ashes, the ashes then added to water, the water being drunk by someone and then pissed out and gone into the sewers and scooped up by a dog and spit out into mud ?

    Everytime I watch these kinds of videos this happens:
    1: I say I'll do it tomorrow
    2: Wakes up next day
    3: grabs paper
    4: starts drawing
    5: thinks this is wonderful
    6: doesn't give up on life
    Extra step: gives up on life
    Read it in this order: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 2, Extra step

      I mean in the end you still give up on life on either 1.2.3.4.5.6 extra or 1.3.4.5.6.2 extra
