this is the two first weeks of my art school packed into 6 minutes, fuck
its amazing how other people do things flawlessly yet mines not even i struggle endlessly.. even though.. ill continue pushing on no matter what.. even though my art really suck, all i need is a harsh and honest critique.. even though itll hurt.
@@pogz1 critique and pain isnt how you get good fast, you wont ever get good fast. its just focus and practice
@@pogz1 you need to make bad drawings to get better. Funnily enough failure helps us artist lmao
I picked up exercises like this a year or two back, and still use some of them as warm ups. They really helped me transition from making a series of small fuzzy lines to try and find the next line on the page to seeing it in my head before it's made.
Great to hear!
drawing always has been a passion of my mine. and art just doesnt really love me back. even so. i work hard practice day and day out. however my art never improves.. can you critique my art pls i just need a pros point of view
@@pogz1 if you don't see any improvement don't be afraid to take an art course or a masterclass. You'd be surprised of how much you'd have learned by the end of it without even noticing
@@Kaplykos why would.thst happen to someone though ? To someone smart ajdnself aware and trying...it must be terribly discouraging.
Something that helps me and might help others if your hands are shaky; exhale when you draw your lines. Professional photographers exhale when they take pictures, because that’s when your hands are the most steady, and I find the same applies to drawing line art
Fantastic tip! Thank you :)
This looks like something i can do with all the different ink tools I've horded over the years.
I actually can't express how much line art frustrates and deflates my confidence. It gets to the point where it looks so bad that I avoid practicing it out of fear of failure (I suppose), which in turn means that I'm not working on the skill itself, so it essentially feels like a never-ending circle. My old teacher (about 6/7 years back, now) always used to criticise my line work and drawings in general- rather than being constructive criticism, she was rather hurtful about it, looking back at the things she said/ the way she went about saying them- and it really knocked me back, and even now whenever I'm drawing all I can hear are the things she said. The fact that line work goes hand in hand with other fundamentals, like proportion, scale and perspective etc, often puts more pressure on producing perfect lines. Drawing freely yet confidently is something that I want to be able to do, which I'm aiming to work on this year. Did you ever feel similar to this, and if so, do you have any advice on overcoming it? These exercises have given me a new outlook on different approaches of tackling this daunting skill, for me, and I like how they focus on the practical side of it (if that makes any sense haha). With the ellipses part, it's interesting to see just how powerful geometry is in creating perspective, and having tried it now the boxes really do help, like you suggested. Thanks for the tips, imma work on these exercises now...
It's simply a personal psychological/emotional issue, in my opinion. So there is no universal advice. Every artist has their own struggle, because we're all just people. Art & Fear might be a good read. Other than that, you're most of the way to a solution already. You have identified the feelings and their source, and are working on overcoming your deficiency. Basically it's a process of seperating your art from your ego/sense of self.
Hope this helps, keep it up!
@@NightTimeDay I had forgotten about my comment here, thank you for replying! Yes, I agree with you there, it's definitely on the psychological/ emotional insecurity side. Is it "Art & Fear" by David Bayles and Ted Orland that you are referring to? Thank you for breaking that down for me, it's helped me see it in a new light- something I defo want to work on overcoming!
All the best and thank you again :D
@@ellieriggart the Bayles book! It's a bit cheesey but there's good stuff to glean from it :) glad I could help a little!
@@NightTimeDay thank you I will be sure to check it out, you have thank you :)
If things like this are still bothering you, look up - get the life you want by richard bandler, he teaches fast and simple techniques for you to reverse those. Ive heard similar techs also in paul mckennas self hypnosis tapes.
One way is making the negative voice sound like mickey mouse, making it ridiculous, not serious, and speeding it up or slowing it down, turning up or down volume knobs in your mind via imagination.
Undo what you heard.
And you can also benefit from creating your own cheering squad in your mind. Like imagining all the best artists throughout time, your heros, movie stars, whatever you want, admiring your work or giving you advice. (the advice tech is more from think and grow rich councilors)
Its your mind, you have the power to decide what is playing in it!
What I find useful about drawing ellipses is when you might have a column on a building. The curve is steeper at the edge and practicing ellipses helps me see this and draw the correct perspective.
we need more tutorials like this
Nice video! Definitely looking forward to more advanced exercises.
On a personal note, what I like to do is just grab public works from artists I like, turn the image into light blue tone, print it and go over it with a pen or g-pen. This comes at a downside of not being able to share it online, unless you want to get in trouble. But it is good practice basically. Just don't tell anyone you did it.
Can also be done for digital lineart practicing too!
That's a great idea!
This really works. I'm tapering my strokes now! It's so awesome. It just takes practice.
That’s good to hear 😊
"The whole point of this training is to make you suck less at what you suck at" hahahaha.
My line work sucks currently so I definitely can use this thanks
we need a good guy with a tracing skill.. lol well its how you use it. hey art brother my art kinda suck and feels like its not improving, can you rate my art vid.. can you recommend tracing?
@@pogz1 yea sure
finally someone that gives concrete exercise instead of just saying "practice".
I cant believe I've never thought/heard of the second one - that's going to be really helpful!
Just tried this and it's helping already, really good tips 👍 and addicting
This looks so useful , thank you❤️
Love the ellipses exercise. Looks like fun and good practice. I should probably do the first one more often.
elipses in persepctive are crazy hard. very cool drills/tips. excited to try them out.
I'm learning by getting over my doubt of a line by drawing on white boards. To teach me to not use more lines than i need, and to teach me control without feeling pressure with it being permanent.
Amazing vid, a way to combine short like control and ellipses at the same time is to draw 4 X's in a square shape, connect them like in the video then draw an ellipse inside!
I like your videos man. Thank you!
I liked before even watching because your tips are always top tier
Thank you for the guide my friend, this is very helpful.
This was soooo helpful 👍👍👍👍👍 absolutely love your videos 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
your channel is verry good, never stop, man!!
1:57 I love this X-ercise
It’s like a tightrope walk - you don’t want to look at your feet but where you are headed. (I just made this up - I don’t have a head for heights😊)
Love the intro
Thank you for the drills i was wondering how yo practise dip pen cause am new in using it. Thanks a lot ❤
Thank you!!!
i have done these exercises traditionally earlier and have good line control but dont have it digitally with my small wacom tablet which is barely the size of my hand
Thank u so much !!!
You're welcome!
Love you moma mwa‼️💪🏼🗣❤️
That intro animation is phenomenal
I'm finding it especially hard to make good line art on digital tablet. My hands seem so damn shaky haha
Thanks for this video.
I don't know if this will help you, but it helped me a lot with shaky hands. Have you ever heard how snipers describe how they use breath control to eliminate any extra movement that could throw the shot off? It is kind of like that. If I am needing a very straight line, I'll take a deep breath, try to relax my body, exhale about half way, then make the line. Rotating the paper I am drawing on helps a lot too, as there are certain angles that are less effected.
@@doc_sav Thanks, I'll try that.
Thanks. I think you mentioned it in another video but tutorials would be great.
Cool. Nice tips. Abraços do Rio de Janeiro.
I just did this stuff on papers in class doodling n shi and I didn't even know y'all were doing this as like an exercise
Awesome
this helps, because i have a habit of over complicating my drawings.
sick
Sympathic practice
pretty Neato
what ink color is that at the beginning? I recognize that it’s a pilot iroshizuku ink based on the cute little bottle haha
Me: has an art style which doesn't use lineart and instead just paints over my sketch
Also me: *watches intently*
looks like some one did the draw a box course 🤭😏
Sounds like Scott robertson Stuff-
-:)
can't thank you enough :/
It's amazing how many people can reteach HowToDraw's Basics. but I do like you a lot, so thanks for the content :D
HowToDraw didn't come up with this, lad. These type of exercises have been around for well before TH-cam was around.
get it, the first one is an 'ex'ercise
