Considering how you mention that some lines are more comfortable and natural to the hand, I found it is also useful to draw the circles from different starting points. In drawing, you rarely have a perfect circle, but you do have curves in every direction. By practicing circles from different origins, you are practicing how to draw curves with unique starting and end points.
Hey this is my second week in learning how to draw...what you write makes sense, so I'm going to add that to my practice rounds along with what he talks about in this video. Thanks for that tip. Have you been drawing long?
I’ve been drawing on and off for 40 years. I even quit art school because I felt I couldn’t overcome some of my bad habits. I never thought about doing this. What a mind blower！I gotta do this. Thanks so much.
@@stimixs honestly focus, interest, and sustaining that long enough to work through my bad anatomy or lazy line work. For example, it’s embarrassing to admit , but I almost never draw a face in any pose other than a left facing profile or 3/4 .. usually I draw from imagination. When I’ve drawn from life it’s easier. At any rate I’ve never taken my art seriously enough even though I had serious talent even at an early age. I just never applied myself. I’m also a pretty-good-but-not-as-good-as-I-could/should-be musician, guitarist, songwriter , writer, photographer..... my interests just fluctuate all over the place. Professionally I’m a sound designer for video games and I’ve probably made some famous sounds you’ve heard (maybe).. by those standards I’m successful. But I’m also still trying to become a great sound designer. I’ve had a great career but a lot of my career is much like the rest of my life in that I’m constantly shifting focus and wondering where my time would be best spent. A bit of a mess I’m afraid or an artist?
I like these alot. It's a great idea to save them in chronological order and try your best every time if you are a beginner. That way you will be able to see your newbie gainz and the progress you are making. It's a great idea to draw the same thing once a week too as you learn. Something small. I like drawing eyes, and it is genuinely amazing at how fast you can progress from being barely able to draw a circle to shading something that looks almost realistic
Me too, I was thinking the whole time "this isn't doing anything for me" then boom he draws the window off the roof and then the bush and I'm looking at mine like "whoa! I can draw!!"
The beginning exercises are helpful for getting revved up for a few hours of drawing. The last exercise with the reference photo was the cherry on top! These exercises were quite eye-opening for me (literally)! Now I find myself seeking out references in my environment to draw as well as in pages of books. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. As a side note here: I like the way you added cars to one of your watercolors. I am getting pretty good results adding traffic to scenes, but hope you can give some pointers as well. Thanks again, Liron!
These are great to help establish "Muscle Memory". High repetition is the name of the game. I've instinctively done similar Exercises but I enjoy the simplicity of doing just lines & shapes in different directions - I know this will help balance & stabilize my Hands where certain movements are still not fluid. (For times when I can't turn my paper). Your exercises have a larger scope than those I've been doing (EX: Focusing on just one object like Leaves - I'll do pages & pages until I feel I am not longer "thinking' about drawing them) . Thank you for taking the time to show us your Methods.
This was super super helpful, I feel like I was accidentally doing these before drawing. Usually I like to doodle before jumping into a drawing, and a lot of those doodles involve doing some of these exercises (lots of making circles and random lines all over) but now I'm more conscious of this as a warm-up. And these more specified exercises really help since doodling often leads to me getting distracted, really helps streamline the warm-up/motivation process!
I don't take my time to upvote many videos, and certainly don't subscribe to all that many channels. You got both within 4 and a half minute of this video. Very straight to the point, easy to understand and exactly what I was looking for. Good job.
Love this! I couldn’t draw a stick figure well but got moved into a kindergarten class for special needs students. They are very visual learners so I had no choice but to add drawings into my lessons. I sketched something for almost every lesson & really started to see improvement from drawing every day. The kids get a giggle out of my mistakes...but I would like to up my game so my kiddos can take in the lesson and not be distracted by my “creations”.
These exercises are great. I've developed bad habits with playing guitar over the last 20 years and was able to correct most of them by "starting over" with the basics, going slow again and building back up. I'm hoping that drawing works the same way. So far it seems so. Thank you
I specifically looked up your videos to see what kind of interesting drawing exercises you might have because you always seem to make more fun choices. I wasn't disappointed.
Thank you for these helpful exercises. Seeing, and differentiating, the various shapes in the building gave me an understanding of how one would tackle such a complicated subject. You break it down into smaller, recognizable forms that comprise the whole. I'm looking forward to doing that now.
Crazy. Tried the bush at the end watching both picture and my drawing at first. Then tried just looking at the image and not my drawing. And the later was closer to the original. Great video
Thank you Liron for yet another very encouraging video. I really enjoyed watching you develop the drawing exercises and look forward to these building into a series for drawing beginners. I have already subscribed to your TH-cam and Instagram feeds a while ago and have been watching your excellent "Watercolour Colour Series" building into a substantial library. A few months ago I purchased your book "How to Sketch" which, when time allows, I am sure will guide me into drawing on my iPad. Thank you for all your work in encouraging us all to draw and paint and for creating features which should "kickstart" many watchers, like me, into actually being confident enough to start sketching by following your many leads. With kindest regards and thank you once again, Allen.
Thank YOU, Allen. Your support is a huge part of what motivates me to continue doing this. And huge thanks for buying my book, this is the oxygen that keeps this machine running (: I'm really excited to be able to share my journey and knowledge, as they develop. I could never take this for granted. I'm slowly finding my voice and my unique abilities, and with time I believe I could help even more. So thank you once again, for everything! (:
Thank you for these exercises they are very useful to me . I used to try drawing everything on the page and got overwhelmed with the task This has made me more organised to start something. The stars and lines are a good way to warm up I have only just come across your videos today but i am so pleased i have found them Best wishes
Okay, I've watched YOU! And I'm not surprised you have those difficulties! Perhaps this is more visible to a beginner like me! No matter how much practice you'll do, that movement "centre towards left, and/or right, will always be difficult if your wrist and underarm are resting on the tabletop!! Somehow a tennis player came to my mind, as I was thinking about this. Tennisplayers move their hand holding the racket at the shoulder but not at the wrist! I've tried it out now! these rays are alot easier to do when the arm didn't touch the table! So I started thinking further and placed some paper onto da wall, and use my pencil like a paintbrush. It feels so weird, but my logic tells me, that an arm that is able to move freely, is a better drawing tool than an imprisoned one!
Thank you for your feedback, hopefully I improved since 🙏🏼 I actually addressed some of this in a newer video: th-cam.com/video/teIKvBNk_G0/w-d-xo.html Always trying to learn and improve 😉🎨
I agree, I actually have the same bad habit, mine developed because I was left handed, teachers weirdly never tried to teach me how to hold a pencil properly. I have slowly started to correct it by learning calligraphy with a dip pen. You're forced to hold the pen at the right angle or the ink doesn't flow.
I havnt draw since a long time but i ordered some tools to try and pick up drawing and hopefully improve somethin i ddnt do before cus i thought i could do evrythin by myself
I'll follow what you said and I'll be doing warm up exercises first so that my hands will get use to draw more detailed and not that much wiggley and Difficult.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. I have a sense of how to use color but I can't draw and I need to learn. These exercises are basic but rather useful. Hi from Cancun, Mexico.
So glad I found you!! Thank you for taking time to teach!! I took classes in college ( MANY ) years ago and I’m just now coming back to drawing and painting! I love that I can find help on you tube!! Thank you!!
Very nice, I love your building outlines, also did your starcircle exercises as I watched...am waiting till i get my ink pen set monday with art pads, 60yr young newbe here. really like Ink art
This was an exercise my art teacher used to make us do during my junior school days year after year. Of course we all didn't see the point of it and even hated it. Looking back now I am so thankful.
I agree: once I start a warm-up, I can’t help but continue drawing! A perfect maneuver around writer’s (or should I say, artist’s) -block. Valuable to remember. Thanks Liron
Thank you, thank you! The warm up exercises are perfect for me as it's the first time I am drawing. Circle drawing after the 3rd star burst helped me gain control. I will "follow" you because I looked at many videos and felt most comfortable with myself and not awkward.
Wow excellent video, I am new on your channel, I have never even thought about doing this..It's so great, thank you . Love the beautiful hands and very clean nails ! Merci beaucoup.
It's my pleasure, I'm happy this helps (: By the way, you asked about books. I bought a few and one of them has amazing watercolor exercises. I'll probably share a review and the exercises as well, soon!
This is perfect, thank you!! I used to draw a lot, but I've not had the motivation since quarantine rolled around, but I'm looking to get back into it. :)
Hi Liron - I'm really enjoying our videos and teaching style. Thank you! Do you happen to know when the books, etc. are going to be mailed? Where we live, mail has its wonky moments. Thanks so much - Lori
Hey thanks! This is an awesome warm up and it gave me a great idea for a watercolor doodle. Plus I saw some cool content on the scroll thru. intrigue to inspiration
i've been trying the warmup over watercolour blotches, since i find flowing watercolour and the process of it drying relaxing. combining this with the technique included in the video totally puts me in the drawing mood, feeling relaxed and all warmed up! plus the watercolour acts as a good boundary and allow me to practise in a way that gives me more control over the lines.
Just bought your amazon book on how to sketch: a beginners guide. I went through the beginners video coarse and loved it, now I'm going to go through it again and absorb all the things I missed the first time. Was wondering if you are planing on creating a intermediate and advanced coarse in the future? I like the way you teach so was just wondering
From this late-in-life wannabe thank you times 3 - you may be unlocking a “door “ I’ve been searching for for a few years. Thank you for teaching me how to “train my brain “!!🎉🎉🎉
What a great exercise to "split" a reference photo into those parts: when you see the photo, you immediately think it would be so difficult to draw the building, there are so many shapes, details etc. But by picking out those details/ lines/ forms it looses a part of this kind of "intimidation". Thanks for this inspiration - I think I'll be doing this exercise later in the afternoon.
Thanks for this lesson. I've been "doodling" my own variations these lines for years. Now I can upgrade them to "exercises" and maybe become a real artist. :)
I would say whatever works for you (: BUT - there are a few ways that are more effective for different results & different uses. I like this normal grip, as well as Proko's approach, that you can find here: th-cam.com/video/pMC0Cx3Uk84/w-d-xo.html I hope that helps 😊🙏🏼
My God, those hands and nails! So beautiful and well kept! You have ''pianist's hands''. Consider hand modelling, and/or upload your own photos on stock photography sites. Please do not neglect to do so.
The best way to do circles and straight lines is to do them from the shoulder and elbow and not from the wrist (it's better used for small details in drawings)
Radu Burcea this tutorial is all wrong! That's exactly what not to do! As he said there are lines more challenging and so that's the moment u start turning ur paper because if u want ur muscles learn the movements u don't have to learn an infinite amount of it but only a few, if not u'll never learn! If u don't belive me se what says Scott Robertson (Gnomon teacher and one of the most appreciated comcept artist) "How to Draw" book! And first u draw siluette and the entire volume of what u are goin to draw and after that u can start drawing lines based on perspective if not u' ll find out how unproportioned ur drawing will be at the end! U can do that only if u are already good at drawing! I'm sure beginners can't come out with something good drawing like that!
Stefano Violi You start turning the paper when the line becomes more challenging? Then what about a long, straight line that needs to cover a good part of the page? Turning the paper won’t help you there, and drawing from the fingers or wrist will lead to chicken scratching. Drawing from the shoulder is used for longer lines that you want to make in one stroke to keep cleanliness, which is extremely important in all styles during the sketching and line-art phases of the drawing. Also, drawing the silhouette without any construction lines in itself makes the drawing out of proportion, unless you have robotic arms that has perfect movements. I believe you haven’t read Scott Robertson’s books, as he himself shows the importance of using construction lines and forms. The main aspect of his How to Draw book is forms in space and perspective, anyway.
I do the parallel line warm up in a lot of my pen drawing for shading, I never thought about how beneficial it is, I've gotten pretty good with straight lines from doing it, I'll have to use the others to practice my curved lines and shapes as well!
Hola soy nueva en tu canal. Estoy aprendiendo dos cosas contigo inglés y a dibujar jajaja. I need listen English. Thanks for your time. Saludos desde Venezuela
If it helps you I would try to do it for a month straight, regardless of your sketching / drawing session. You don’t need a lot of time, even 10-15 minutes can go a long way 😊
I usually get engrossed in line length and origin to make the play stars 3d. Yeah, I took an art class for fine arts credits toward my engineering degree. I tried so hard, and failed so miserably, but I did find self soothing exercises like this one so not a total loss.
Hi - I just signed up for your course... very excited to develop this skill... I can log in, but I'm not seeing a link to the other videos... Could you direct me to where I can find your other tutorials? Thank you so much -
Hi Lori! I’ll take a look and see if there’s anything to fix on my end soon (: Also feel free to email me at liron@ lironyan.com if you haven’t (: Thank you so so much for joining 😊🙏🏼
Definitely going to be one of your best. Looking forward to buying the book when it is available.
Thank you so much for the support, I appreciate it (:

@Miller Leon nope. No one cares.

In drawing, you rarely have a perfect circle, but you do have curves in every direction.

The rays would pair great with that because each ray represents a unique starting point.

BUT - there are a few ways that are more effective for different results & different uses.
I like this normal grip, as well as Proko's approach, that you can find here:

I hope that helps 😊🙏🏼
@@LironYan Yes you helped me a lot! Thank you very much!😉
Thank you for the simple to follow video
My God, those hands and nails! So beautiful and well kept! You have ''pianist's hands''.
Consider hand modelling, and/or upload your own photos on stock photography sites.
Please do not neglect to do so.
great video, thanks for taking the time to make and post it.
My pleasure, happy you enjoyed this one! 😊🙏🏼
Thankyou teacher, your skills are amazing and this exercise is so effective and pragmatic!!!!
This is unbelievably helpful, thank you so much! I' m excited to start on your other lessons.
The best way to do circles and straight lines is to do them from the shoulder and elbow and not from the wrist (it's better used for small details in drawings)
I would say both are good but the shoulder to wrist thing is super useful for drawing in general
Radu Burcea this tutorial is all wrong! That's exactly what not to do! As he said there are lines more challenging and so that's the moment u start turning ur paper because if u want ur muscles learn the movements u don't have to learn an infinite amount of it but only a few, if not u'll never learn! If u don't belive me se what says Scott Robertson (Gnomon teacher and one of the most appreciated comcept artist) "How to Draw" book! And first u draw siluette and the entire volume of what u are goin to draw and after that u can start drawing lines based on perspective if not u' ll find out how unproportioned ur drawing will be at the end! U can do that only if u are already good at drawing! I'm sure beginners can't come out with something good drawing like that!
Regardless the fact that his lines are straight like roads in Italy...
Stefano Violi You start turning the paper when the line becomes more challenging? Then what about a long, straight line that needs to cover a good part of the page? Turning the paper won’t help you there, and drawing from the fingers or wrist will lead to chicken scratching.
Drawing from the shoulder is used for longer lines that you want to make in one stroke to keep cleanliness, which is extremely important in all styles during the sketching and line-art phases of the drawing. Also, drawing the silhouette without any construction lines in itself makes the drawing out of proportion, unless you have robotic arms that has perfect movements. I believe you haven’t read Scott Robertson’s books, as he himself shows the importance of using construction lines and forms. The main aspect of his How to Draw book is forms in space and perspective, anyway.
Concordo totalmente!
Cross hatching exercise is fun!
Great tutorial can't wait to go give this a try! ☺️

A brilliant video. I appreciate it.
Thank you
I do the parallel line warm up in a lot of my pen drawing for shading, I never thought about how beneficial it is, I've gotten pretty good with straight lines from doing it, I'll have to use the others to practice my curved lines and shapes as well!

These are great exercises. Thanks!
My pleasure Taylor, Happy I can help 😁🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you for watching!
Do i need to do this everyday or everytime i draw?? 😊😊 JUST ASKING..
If it helps you I would try to do it for a month straight, regardless of your sketching / drawing session.
You don’t need a lot of time, even 10-15 minutes can go a long way 😊
I usually get engrossed in line length and origin to make the play stars 3d. Yeah, I took an art class for fine arts credits toward my engineering degree. I tried so hard, and failed so miserably, but I did find self soothing exercises like this one so not a total loss.
nice man, thanks a lot
i quit drawing for a while and this gave me ideas to start again
cool video, subscribed ;)
