I have a 284 page book called "How to draw anything" but I learned more and importantly, enjoyed myself more in your ten minute video - thanks as always Toby 👍
Wonderful! Thanks Martin!
Here, here. I have lots of those books too. Prefer following Toby for sketching and Chris Petri for painting. Both are superior teachers like Bob Ross was with oils.
Maybe you learn better visually rather than from a book. Most people learn better from visuals.
Your concept of simply focusing on the SHAPES has moved my sketching ability along at an AMAZING rate. I’m able to apply it to any subject and getting better every day. THANK YOU!
Happy to help!
This lesson was too good to be free, thanks a lot!
My basic problem is that I have spent almost all of a rather long life (80 is looking younger all the time) convinced that I am an artistic incompetent, constitutionally incapable of doing anything artistic. I continue to work on that, but it is a huge barrier. I internalized the responses of adults when I was a child; I very strongly remember two particular such events.
Sorry to hear that! It can be difficult to get over childhood experiences, if you'd like some different feedback feel free to email me a picture of your sketches
I am sorry to hear that, Alan! But welcome to our community. You are welcome to ask anything about watercolours at any time on any video here on TH-cam 😃. We are always happy to share and assist 😊.
@alanjameson8664 And thank you for sharing your experience here; it is a strong reminder for us all to take what others say with a healthy pinch of salt.
I empathise with you, I was not encouraged at anything, but decided to have a go at about 60 and now 81, I just do it for fun, and luckily my children who are in their 50s have encouraged me. Aren't we lucky to have the opportunity to watch and learn from all the things available on the Internet.
@@annwornell7510 Oh, yes, indeed! I am very grateful that I have the internet to get information from. Horrible things are happening and problems are everywhere at the moment, but I never forget how lucky I am to be able to learn so, so, so much by simply launching TH-cam or my browser. I am eternally grateful to have this 🙂. And I am also pleased that older generations are joining us, it’s really nice to be sharing art with people like you 😃.
Your tips are really helping me. I sketched and painted my first street scene. Yay!
That's great! Well done!!!!
Congrats, Teresa! 😃
I have watched so many of your courses and this video is one of my favorites. Thank you for such important information in a compact little bite!
Merci pour votre production régulière, je me suis remis au dessin à ma retraite et j’adhère à votre concept maîtrisé, vous avez raison il faut travailler avec aisance et liberté, émouvoir et ne pas se prendre au sérieux Continuez vous nous inspirez
I loved the dueling drawing video with Doug, each 'artist' can express a scene in their own 'style' is great. I also like this video helping me go back to basics. Thank you
Awesome, thank you!
Your tip on seeing the shapes as the foundation for everything was very helpful. Thank you so much for simplifying it in my head! 😊
My pleasure!
I have watched a lot of beginner guidance on you tube. I am struggling. You finally made it amazing easy and simplistic as possible. Thank you so much! So grateful you did this video!❤
Brilliant . Thank You so much.
Brilliant. No waffle. To the point. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for these videos I really appreciate them. I love loose art its beautiful.
Glad you like them!
Thanks Toby. This is the most helpful yet!!
Glad to hear it!
These are great tips. I love the picture of the seal, still in your unique style. I’d love to see a tutorial for this or something similar. 😁
Great suggestion!
Very VERY helpful…and proof that “simple’ (including advice) is often best! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Excellent techniques 😊
Im almost finished with your free course. It's bene so fun and educational!!
Once again, brilliant. You help me make sense of it all. Thanks so much!!!
My pleasure!
Thank you for these drawing tips!
Glad you like them!
I really like how you color coded the shapes in 10:13 a scene after you showed the scene. That is very helpful. Likewise I liked your lines that you added to my sketches when I took your coarse. I really would recommend your coarse to anyone with even the slightest interest in learning to draw or improving your drawing. You keep instruction simple, in small bites, and it is a fun way to practice.
Thanks Mary for this lovely endorsement!!
Brilliant! Step 1 alone is genius. That's almost all ya' need. Almost. Love this video 🤓 Leave "perfection" behind and go for "essence" and "shape"
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks, Toby. Very helpful, so glad I found you here.
Happy to help!
Thank you so much Toby for sharing
Any time
Such wonderful and practical instruction. Thanks so much!!!😊
You are so welcome!
Thanks Toby
This is so simple and yet so effective. Truly probably one of the most beneficial drawing videos I've seen so far. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Thank you,thank you!!
Any time!
I have just arrived here. What a wonderful teacher you are, I am truly inspired to get started, I have never known where to start. Retired now, I look forward to this enormously. Thank you so much!
Welcome!
Fantastic lesson, thank you
My pleasure!
Thank you Toby for your advice and explanation. I really enjoy your video much.
Glad it was helpful!
thanks 🙏 so helpful
Great advice! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
I have signed up to take both of your classes and I am thoroughly enjoying the first one, Mark Making. It was this video on "How to Draw Anything" that spurred me on however. It is such a novel idea to me to look at scenes according to shapes and always simplify the scene. I find your style and instruction very refreshing and encouraging. I feel fortunate to have found you in this world of cyber space that usually just takes me down rabbit holes to nowhere.
Delighted to hear, thanks Sarah!
Thank you, this is very useful, I consider myself a beginner although I have been sketching on and off since I was very young. This was very useful and I will check out your class.
Glad it was helpful!
I am 38 and just recently started drawing, by following online tutorials, on procreate. I now know that I really like architecture and urban sketching. I love the way you draw! I love the loose sketches! But when I do it, it seems like my 5 year old did it. And I have the hardest time choosing colors for my drawings. Anyway, this is a great video. I'm trying to simplify and find the shapes. Hopefully it would get easier in the future. Thank you for your videos!
You can do it! Delighted to have you along too 😁
Excellent understandable lesson thank you 😊
You're very welcome!
Thank you Toby u give excellent advice and have helped me to also luv urban art.
Happy to help!
this was so useful ❤
Very much enjoy your style and explanations...thanks both have advanced aspects of my art.
Wonderful!
Thank you. So very helpful. 😊
My pleasure
Your psychological support to people, your perspective that makes people trust themselves to take a step, is more than drawing🥲😊. People including me:) Appreciations and thanks with love 🙌🏾💙
My pleasure
Thank You. Love from Ontario, Canada
This was really helpful. Thank you for this video!
You're so welcome!
Amazing video thank you so much for this fun and informative ❤sketching info 😊
My pleasure 😊
Splendid and friendly thanks for sharing, good video tutorial and tips👍
So nice of you
Excellent video….very motivating and super ideas.Thank you🙏
My pleasure!
Yes shapes, yes practice ! Thank you
Perfect!
Thanks so much for this Toby. Excellent information and great examples. It really encouages me to keep practicing. My philosophy on art is that if you can write then you can draw. It's all lines and a line is nothing more than a dot that goes for a walk. From Toronto Canada 😊
Fantastic!
I love your sketches. They're so good. I want to be able to sketch like you, but I find it hard to loosen up
Thanks for the lovely complements
Thank you thank you for explaining you are a good teacher 😊gracias
Thank you! 😃
This is one of your best videos yet. I was quite impacted by your discussion about not following rules. It is one thing to say we shouldn't follow rules because they just cause us to get tied into knots, but that wasn't your point. Your point,, as I understand it, is that a rule of proportions, for example, works only for a head on view of your subject. As soon as there is foreshortening or a distorted figure or a slant etc. the rule no longer can be followed. THAT makes so much sense, and yet I wouldn't have tumbled to it on my own. I would love more content like this....in fact, a whole course!
Hehe thanks Eva, I've a few more videos like this coming out, I hope you find them just as useful. The feedback is great because they take blooming hours to edit 😅😂
I can only imagine the time that is required to edit. This was well worth it imo !
Thank you! 👐🏼👌🏼
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much, Toby! This video and tips are simply so insightful! 🤩
Greetings from Chile!
You're so welcome!
Thanks, a great video as usual. More than for beginners I find these tips useful for anyone, no matter which level of experience in drawing they have.
Thank you 😊
@@TobySketchLoose That’s right :)
Ein super tolles Video mit wertvollen Tips. Danke herzlich für die Mühe und die wunderbare Art dein Wissen zu teilen. Das ist so hilfreich für mich, denn ich zeichne und male gern, aber noch nicht lange,🎨
My pleasure, keep it up and you'll go far!
🧡💛💚@@TobySketchLoose
Thank you! This was so helpful 😊
You're so welcome!
wow thank you im starting your free course today
I took a drawing class locally. The instructor gave us pictures and had us do shapes with a marker. It is really helpful.
This is a very useful video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Love your videos!! ❤
I'm so glad!
Спасибо! Ваши идеи помогают мне в работе!
Мне нравится помочь. Спасибо большое
Ha - I DEFINITELY need more Practice! As well as everything else! Shapes --- must remember everything is really just shapes! THANKS for this - it helps a lot!
You can do it!
Thank you! 💕✌️
Any time!
Thank you this was great ❤
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this video, Toby. I approach drawing with an architect’s eye and want to draw what I see “precisely “. I am also not very good at it, so I’m going to go back to basic shapes and see what that does to my drawings.
Glad it was helpful! Architectural sketching can be strangely different from sketching sketching. More focussed on precision, perspective and clean lines.
Really cool one! Thanks mate
No problem 👍
It seems a bit like music where we learn to hear pitches, then take two pitches to form an interval and then we stack intervals in clever ways to create chords from a very simple triad to the most complex of chords. Saying it and doing it tho are two different things. We spend our whole life learning more and more about the combinations and how to use them. As for rules in music, I often say that we study the rules in order to break them properly or improperly as the case may be lol! I'm sure that may well apply to drawing as well. Enjoyed your video by the way. I'm an old road dog musically, but just starting to learn to draw now that I'm retired from the road. Still make music vids tho for youtube. Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much ❤
My pleasure!
Great vid. ❤
Thank you! 😁
Thanks!
Welcome! Thanks for your generosity!
I avoided drawing people (and animals) like a plague- until I saw your video where you drew 2 people in the back alley, and it looked easy and fun so now I’m doing it and it made me happy to finally inhabit the empty streets I usually go for - thank you for your excellent videos - much appreciated
That's awesome!
Great vid Toby
Thanks!
I sincerely love your style. Very loose which makes them more interesting.
Wow, thank you!
Your channel is one of the best for education about sketching and aquarel. Thanks for sharing that informations. Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina. 😁😁
Thank you so much 😀
ThanQ. At some stage in your presentations can u pls talk about how to hold the pen, pencil, brush. And when, why?
(Frm NZ)
Good idea!
Great ten minutes about "How to scetch..." Btw i like your style of drawing and the way you explain it
Thank you so much 😀
The shape Idea had liberated my efforts. Do you have a simple book I can reference
Nothing in print at the moment, hoping to get something out next year!
I like sketching landscapes and small buildings. But I love churches and ruins like old abbeys and castles. But there are parts of churches I am finding very challenging. It’s the shapes on the corners of church towers, buttresses I think they’re called. They go downwards in rectangular ‘steps’. But I’m practicing.
Thanks for more invaluable tips, Toby. 😊
Pleasure 😊
I love drawing small thing, larger. Like a piece of popcorn, the cracked kernel in the hull, the ridges. Everything can be broken down into lines. Replicate a curved line here, a swirly line there… ❤️
That's a fun idea 💡
thanks. I really enjoy your videos. do you have anything for someone who love making art but find they keep procrastinating and/or is blocked somehow? thanks in advance.
Sorry I didn't answer this sooner! I don't have anythign specific to this, would just say go back to simple doodling and have some fun :)
Hi what fountain pen and nib are u using. Great content. Thank you
Check the supplies link in the description 😊👍
Can you pls do a video about style? And finding an own style? I am a beginner and find myself often trying to copy sketchers like you.
What a great idea, I'll try and get it done in the next couple of weeks :)
Basically.. style isn't something you find, it's not something you seek out. It's a result. It's where you accidentally end up. Think about it like photography - a photographer's style is just what they end up liking to take pictures of, and in the way they like taking pictures of it. Same for art. Look at art and find what speaks to you, like for instance watercolor and pen, and go from there and let your style end up where it ends up when you draw what you like in the way you like drawing it.
can i ask a question about 1:20? Because if you look at it, the ask italian building is slanted in the pic and the door is straight but the shape your drew around is the opposite - the building is a straight square and the door is a sort of oblong triangle. is there a reason for this? or am i not seeing things clearly?
The photo has a vertical perspective, I removed that in my sketch :)
Which app do you use for tracing?
I'm using procreate here probably
nice
Thanks
I thought I couldn't paint with watercolour, I'd forgotten Tip 6 and was trying to conform to "A Watercolor Artist" that painted realism and perfect flowers and animals - i dont like painting realism or perfection with any medium why would watercolour be any different. Loose sketching is perfect because it doesnt have to be perfect - it can be a bit abstract and that's the artist i am - thank you for helping me to remember that I am the artist I WANT to be, not the artist I think I SHOULD be
Great reflections, thank you
Honestly sometimes the art being more up to abstraction lets the imagination fill it in, it's more unique than trying to print a photograph in an overly complicated manner.
How to enlarge shape and pics?
I'm not sure I understand... sorry :(
What pen are you using?
Mostly my twsbi - check urbansketch.co.uk/supplies
Draw by the Pirate Code. As Barbossa said in Pirates of the Caribbean, "The code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules."
Haha yes!
3d artists use the same concept. From simpler blocky shapes to a finer detail. Otherwise life would be too complicated))
I find drawing mech is quite challenging .
🙏
First!
nope lol
🤣
Well, well, well! I was not first after all! 😂😂
Seems my problem is not learning, but about unlearning the things that inhibit my abilities
I wish u health and peace
Thankyou
You must learn PERSPECTIVE. You can draw anything with it. ANYTHING
🌷🌷🐝🐝🐿🐿🐦🐦🌸🌸😎😎
How about watching the nature as it is : made from 3 D = 3 dimentional shapes .....? Thouse shapes are : cubes , prismatic shapes = "boxes", cilinders and spheres☝️☝️☝️ and of course , their VARIATIONS ....☝️☝️....Never really find in nature thouse perfectly geometrical shapes, but their variations and combinations of thouse.......
Circle, triungle, square, etc are JUST BIDIMENSIONAL .....
Even the drawing it happens on a flat surface that has only 2 dimensions , You ALLWAYS MUST TO suggest the 3-rd dimension in your drawings.......☝️☝️☝️
I am horrible at drawing I can't do anything not even a stick figure so I'm watching this so I can do simple things
It takes a little practice that's all
Rule number 3: Don't rely on rules!
