- Do any of these 10 common drawing mistakes make your drawings less realistic? Check through the list and see. And if any of them look familiar from your drawings, a more effective way is demonstrated for you to try..
So far, I've only seen two of your videos. I will be watching many more! You present concepts SO well. As a beginner (at age 61), sometimes it's not easy to even see that there are mistakes. Sometimes you can tell something's wrong, but you don't know exactly what, or how to correct it. You are very helpful in explaining what's wrong; why it's wrong; and how to correct it. My personal favorite example in this video was the two buildings where the first one looks like it's going uphill. Thank you so much for sharing your insights.
Great yo hear Walter. Never too late to start! I’m glad my videos are a helpful part of your drawing journey. All the best. 😀
Mistakes is all I make.
That’s not true, and you’re way ahead of the people who make mistakes but can’t see it!😀 Keep at it 👏
That comment is a mistake.
@@TheseGoToEleven. Yes =(
This had some of the best drawing instruction I have ever seen. I took two drawing classes in college, and they skimmed over a lot of these very important points. Thanks for making this! ❤
Wow! So helpful, as I see myself making these mistakes and not recognizing the problem. Saving this video! Thanks again!
So glad you found this so helpful Karen. Keep drawing!😀
So glad I’ve watched this at the beginning of my attempts. Such a well explained video. I look forward to watching more.
Glad it was helpful!😀
First of all i just wanted to thank you for the comprehensive and well thought video!
I personally often sketch outdoors and tend to forget these fundamentals, which results in not so desirable outcome.
Another thing i wanted to mention is just how consistent you are in content making!
You don't just focus on quantity, but also quality
this i so admire.
With that might i recommend making a video/s regarding your mindset while drawing, your journey that led you to drawing, drawing habits that allowed you to be so consistent.
Again thanks for the amazing content.🙏
Thanks. I’m wanting to draw more outside, so maybe I’ll devise some videos around that more. Drawing is often something we have to put behind more urgent matters. Being older, I know have more time than in the past. That is probably the biggest advantage I have. Choice. I appreciate your kind comments. 😀
Such valuable and accurate information presented in a quite consumable manner. Thanks you so much! Instant subscribe
Glad to help. 😀
This was an awesome video.. the explanation and examples are amazing. I'm just starting out I'm so happy I found this video. Your a great teacher.
Words every teacher loves to hear. Much appreciated 😀
Thanks so much for the amazing video. You explained so much and so clearly in such a short video. Please don’t stop making these brilliant video. ❤
I’m glad they’ve been so helpful. All the best with your drawing 😀
I agree, you have created a comprehensive and well thought video. Your clear explanations associated with specific examples set your videos apart. Like you, I only started to learn late in life to learn how to draw as a way to keep my brain healthy. I have many miles to go before I sleep, but at this stage, I am really enjoying the journey because you make it easy. Many thanks for sharing your gifts with the world.
Thanks Kate. It’s so great to hear how helpful my videos have been. Never too late to start and improve and increase brain health. All the best with your drawing journey. 😀
I struggle with foliage but your videos have been helping me a lot. Thanks Stephen.
That’s great to hear. Have you seen my playlist on trees?😀
@@stephentraversart oh yes!! Since then I've started looking at trees as simple objects reflecting light. Flora is much less intimidating now thanks to you😄
Sounds like you’ve understood well what I was saying. You can enjoy drawing your trees now! Good luck!😀
I've just found your videos, and I'm really looking forward to do some drawing exercises about perspective, something I'm really struggling with. Thank you for your work :)
Hope my videos really easy track your perspective improvement. All the best and remember even perspective can be fun!😀
when i first learned how to type with ten fingers it was hard - with my two finger method i was way faster... it takes the same kind of discipline to build the habit of setting your lines deliberately on the paper. I loved that ! thank you for your videos Stephen - so inspiring!!
Really pleased it was helpful for you. Thanks😀
Great and useful tips again! Thanks for sharing!
Good to hear. Thanks Martin. 😀
What an excellent video! I love how clearly you explain things. It's also worth remembering that the widest points of ellipses are rounded rather than sharp and that foreshortening makes the half nearer the picture plane slightly deeper than the one further away (the same principle as the receding buildings).
Thanks for pointing out these details. Much appreciated 😀
Really fantastic video, the foreshortening tips were very useful!
Glad you think so!😀
Большое спасибо!
У вас замечательные уроки
Спасибо 😀
Thank you. Very informative. Saving.
Thanks Timothy 😀
Thankyou for your efforts!
My pleasure 😀
Yeah they took off points using the wrong pencil in drafting class. I think I failed because I did ok in art class. When I went to drafting class I thought it would also be easy. I was a legend in my own mind. It could be tough with or without the right tools.
It certainly can be a journey, but hopefully with some happier moments Along the way than these 😀
So helpful...amazing content
Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks. Much appreciated 😀
On point no 5: what are tips to give to someone who doesn't have access to multiple pens?
We can still get a great deal of line variability from one pen. It’s to do with the angle we hold it, the pressure we apply, and the speed of our line. Play around with these three aspects of drawing a line and be amazed! And if we use the same brand of pen repeatedly, we become really adept at creating wide variability. Have fun with it. 😀
wahh not doing any of those mistakes as an utter novice who only doodles is just what my poor self esteem needed today
Haha. Well done!👏👏👏
🎉 super ... vielen lieben Dank...
Thank you. I appreciate it. 😀
I finally understand a lot of what I'm doing wrong lol. Thank you
That’s great to hear. Expect great things with your drawing. 😀
Amazing video and very informative! But isn’t there a correct way of crosshatching? Because what you showed in the video is that we shouldn’t crosshatch and only use hatching. Obviously I know that the demonstration was incorrect but I would much appreciate a demonstration of correct crosshatching. Maybe you have shown it in a different video? Or is it just not a preferred way of shading for your style?
Of course you can cross hatch. I don’t use it as often as hatching, and if I do the angles the lines cross at are not very high. But in the end, we are all free to experiment and use whatever way we find creates the effect we are after best. 😀
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you Cherice 😀
Very helpful thanks
Excellent Rachael. Thanks 😀
Спасибо огромное . У вас отличные уроки !
Спасибо 😀
Thanks for your tips 🙂
My pleasure Yasmina. 😀
Short lines at the beginning, definitely. You mentioned straight lines are important for the architects. Could you suggest what (else) is also important for the architects?
I’m not an architect, so I don’t really want to speak for them. 😀
0 lol. But then I have been drawing for almost 40 years. Good points for people just starting. I don't know why but for doodling, black Bic biro pens do it for me. No other biro, just the Bic ones.
They were my favourites at school and uni. 😀
You have a perspective error on number 6 mistake -- the windows and the spaces betweem them should get narrower and narrower due to foreshortening as you say, but the thickness of the wall should get thicker and thicker, because that's at 90 degrees to the wall. You are looking at the thickness on the closer windows at a sharp angle (so more foreshortening and thinner-looking), and more face-on on the farther windows (so less foreshortening and thichker looking). Depending on how thick the wall is, the glass itself my actually disappear from view on the farthest windows, leaving only a hole in the wall through which you see just the wall thickness.
The actual thickness of the wall does increase as it moves further away, and it should increase in width relative to the total width of its window. But because it is also further away, it may not actually be wider (on our paper) than closer ones. But perhaps I didn’t draw this well. And yes, what you say about the glass is absolutely true. 😀
@@stephentraversartYes, it's a balance between the distance and the angle. You have an amazing channel, by the way, I've been binging it and learning an equally amazing number of things. Perspective just happens to be one thing I am really specialized in, but other subjects have been enlightening. Thanks!
I’m desperately trying to learn to sketch. Unfortunately I have an essential tremor. Urgh
We can only do our best. Develop your own unique style! 😀
I suffer chronically from careless line syndrome.
We all do at times! I think getting better at recognising it’s happening is the start!😀
Thanks
Thanks Joe. Much appreciated 😀
👍✌️🙏
Thanks 😀😀😀
lets be honest we all used to chicken scratch our art and most of us still do xD
