I've been drawing this way for years, but whenever someone asks me "can you teach me how to draw", I've never been able to articulate it because I just go on "instinct" and experience. You are the first person that has been able to articulate this process for me so I can help others, thank you so much.

The questions:

The suggestion to practice basic shapes is so simple but practical.

Best drawing teacher, hands down.

[@lem8081]

I'm so glad I found you on Skillshare. You're by far the best drawing teacher in my opinion

[@sophia192]

your teaching is so comforting and reassuring, must people give up drawing because they often doubt themselves and they dont have directions, and the most tragic thing is, it's not their mistake for doubting themselves since their teacher simply sucks at teaching(those teachers only know how to draw by themselves, but they dont know how to teach).

oh my, i'm so excited now (not because of the music though) thinking of drawing my first 100 of every shape, training my hand, building muscle memory, getting faster without thinking. starting with shapes i can do, it doesn't scare me off, even though i understand how fundamental, how important this is. i have always tried skipping this important steps... love the 5 rules. thank you so much, Brent! got my eye on your book.

[@gillianbc]

That was a really well taught lesson - explanation of why, simple steps, seeing it in action and homework practice.

So happy to have found you Brent! What a marvelous instructor you are! The clarity and step-by-step hierarchy in your teaching and writing is perfect as I've just purchased your book and am following up each chapter with your videos as available on youtube. I've been drawing for many years with great success (in my 70's now) but have felt frustrated by my gaps in understanding process and purpose. Having found your guidance I'm excited to begin at square one 'in my learning' and move more easily into more self-generated creative drawings. A great big "THANK-YOU!" to you :) Mollie

Lovely explanation!

[@xDevoneyx]

The process outlined in this video is very similar to progress with anything really. I'm a software developer from hobby and profession and asking questions and iteratively going forward is key too, refining each step when the overal process is outlined.

You are a hero to many many begineers. Hats off to you

[@carlas967]

I’m currently doing your course on Udemy and love it. I’m learning so much and my drawing is improving massively. You’re an incredible teacher and artist. Excited to find you on TH-cam! Deep gratitude for sharing your talent 🙏

[@gordacapivara]

I remember watching your skillshare class years ago, and I still use the light sketching technique to this day. It gave me so much confidence to draw.

[@RD-jr8nv]

For anyone thinking of buying the course this is from, do it, I’ve just completed the basics course, it’s fantastic.

[@LelasMum]

Thank you. I appreciate your calm, clear speaking. This makes learning from you enjoyable and easy. Nicely done!

[@user-ky1di8cb3j]

Thank you so much for your drawing and I am impress with your teaching . You are very talented and generous. Merci

[@sammyarts2441]

Every time I listen to your advices it changes me alot. I'm so grateful for your lessons, I'm one of your students on skillshare

[@holamissmusica]

I love when TH-cam algo brings me the gems like you. I loved the dramatic music, your step by step instructions, so helpful and entertaining. Thank you!

Inspiring! practice the basics, over and over until they are second nature. Repetition....the joy of knowing the fullness of what will be
