What do you need to start drawing and learn art and illustration? Just paper and pencil. We're not going to get to fancy in this first class. We will start with the very basics about how everything we are going to draw is made up of simple shapes. 2D shapes like squares, circles and triangles and also 3d shapes like spheres, cylinders, cubes and cones.

My favorite thing is how this is aimed at children because that's literally my skill level right now
me and you both
My 8 year old nephew is better then me at drawing
Same here. I sucked so bad at even the basic stuff. 😅 but with practice we will get better!
Ditto
bruh I've been trying to get better at drawing for years now and my art still looks like a 3 year olds
this is a dream class.

Me, an mcyt fan: I have been summoned 🌝
I will thanks for everyone that will subscribe to my channel 🤗
Ok so, I'm 17 years old, I've always wanted to draw, but it always seemed like one of those things that seem really abstract and descriptivist, and my learning style is very prescriptive, so I figured that there's basically no way for me to learn how to draw. But today I decided to learn how to draw, and I have to say that Brad has done a phenomenal job. I'll definitely be following the second episode, wanting to learn more.
how are u doing now?
from a person who is beginning now.
I'm also 17
Actually am not a digital artist
Am more of a sketching artist
🙂
Lmao that’s me down to the detail
I'm 16 but I was good at drawing 5 years ago but I quit
but I decided today to practice drawing again and my drawing is not as good as it was
but that made me figure that practicing is wait to make you a good drawer
so ... how it's going with you now :) ????
@@user-fo2tf6hk4b your story is inspiring yet funny
As a 33 year old trying to learn to draw, I love this. Thank you!
we're on the same boat lol 33 years old myself and determined.
@@adrianb893 36 year old reporting in for day 1 of learning to draw lol
I thought me being 20 and watching this awkward.
@@prakhargupta5410 i thought the same
bro not me being 15 and thinking i’m a kid for watching this 😅😂
Thank you. I can't imagine the amount of effort and time you put into this video
Exactly
It took a long time, but a big part of that was making a ton of assets and a workflow that would let me make these a lot faster in the future. Still going to be slower than other videos, but should be able to do one or two a month.
@@BradsArtSchool Now that’s effort!
@@BradsArtSchool you are great

This isn't just a drawing tutorial, this is quality entertainment
This isn't a drawing lesson. It's a complete perfect animation cartoon movie. I'm loving every second of it.
Interested to see where this goes
Ayyy Alex :D
Holyyyyy cow its alex clark
@@matthewmoore7916 That's because this channel isn't very popular so the comments will probably have fewer likes.
By this channel, I mean Brad's Art School, not It's Alex Clark
Why is his channel not verified!!?
"I still don't like him..." That cracked me up!! Awesome start to a series that I know is going to be fun. Thanks!
haha, glad it got a laugh out of ya. I had a lot of fun making it.
Yeah, that student comment really got me too. The students in general make this video much more engaging.
@@BradsArtSchool this was so good sir thanks alot 🔥
@@BradsArtSchool how can I write to you.
As someone in her early 30s who attempted to draw at the (impatient) age of 13 but gave up, I'm so glad I found your channel! This is literally the instruction younger and current me needed but didn't have access to. With just your explanation on how shapes make up everything, I can look back at art pieces I like and visually *see* those shapes. Officially subscribed with notifications turned on. My goal of one day illustrating my own stories is officially in reach!
This is absolutely fantastic, being 23 and wanting to get into art having no clue where to start this helps alot!

Hey, what level have you reached now? Please reply, buddy!

@@tusharmalik1145 Thanks! Are you Indian like me?
@@arisu2123 What anime character is in your profile picture?
For anyone wondering if these basic lessons are beneficial, they really are. Studied architecture at college. Our drafting class started with these very basic shapes before we were given assignments to draw entire houses. Mastering those fundamentals are absolutely critical.
Great job Brad, I’d love to see these go very far. Wishing for the best bro!
They definitely are, everytime I search "how to draw for beginners" every video assume I can draw a sketch, a perfect circle, a straight line, etc.
Finally I've found a video for REAL beginners
Can I ask if u r an architect now 😅and how was learning architecture.
Lol my dad is a architect but he he isn't really that good at drawing. And it's not really that big of a impact since there is architectural software but whenever he needs a rough sketch he just asks me
Go to 2:50 and there is squid game
The same goes for me I had to learn this before they let me technical drawings in cad.
Story telling, visual lessons, hands on activity! This is great!!! Thank you for taking the time to create something unique & benificial!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is brilliant. I am almost 40 and have just embarked on the path of learning to draw. I’ve seen some tutorials before yours, but yours has given me the most important basics to truly start drawing well...I’ll stay with your teaching ways😁 Thank you!
It’s been a year…how’s everything coming along on your journey? Btw, I’m just getting started!
I love how he put humor in the vid and didn’t make a boring video. This makes learning so fun
Everyone: *Intently listening and following the instructions to draw*
Me: *Wondering why all the student are animals with a human teacher*
Remember my gym partner's a monkey??
@@anshraghuwanshi1827 of course
Ever watch classic cartoons? Tom and Jerry, Disney, Looney Toons, etc.?
Some were all non-human animals; others had humans and non-humans interacting to various degrees.
So you are saying that i am not a human but an animal?
@@vortex6800 I mean...yes
DuH¡
This is super cool Brad! I wish you the best of luck! This will help a lot of young artists! Its super engaging and fun to watch ❤️ 👏👏👏
Omg hi tooncee your vids are amazing, keep it up👍🏼👏🏼
Thanks! and I'm a big fan of your channel and that means a lot coming from you.
@@BradsArtSchool Brad did you animate these all? 😱
well hello there
Living for this interaction 🤧💕
This type of tutorial format really engages me even though I'm a 20 years old college student. I hope you release more episodes so I can learn more about how to draw :)
I’m 35 and looking at re learning skills I had 20 years ago, when as a teenager I used to be able to sketch anyones profile out realistically. As a kid I loved art from 4-5 yo and got quite good at it - life happened and I lost the hand control for fine drawing, I never lost the way to look at things the way an artist does - but certainly the fine skills of drawing and in painting mixing colours etc So much to learn and videos like these that are aimed at children are perfect in brushing up on the basics or forgotten techniques. Congrats to all the adults that have taken up art again - I feel I need this to complete me spiritually an artistic soul needs to do art needs that creative outlet.
I'm loving the way you are explaining things here, its actually really easy to understand, its also funny to me how I'm taking this lesson very serious since im legit interested in strengthen my drawing skills in fundamentals!! Thank you for making this accessible for everyone!! 🙏🙏💖
Great to hear!
Another fellow nirvana fan looking to draw. I teresting
@@D0M0C0REI hope they really are, and not jsut someone who buys a shirt because they listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit (even if it’s a great song)
The “student” interactions are honestly spot on
Please keep these coming!! The way you teach really works for me. I’m 42 and have always had the mindset that I could never draw. You’ve changed that and have opened my eyes to a lot more than just drawing.
I'm 18, I love writing but I've always been jealous of artists. My friend made me fanart two years ago, then another last week, and I've always wanted to make art for her stories too but never been confident in my skills. I realized that if I started practicing two years ago, I'd probably be able to make something decent now. I'm going to start so in a few years I'll look back and be thankful I did! Hopefully the next time my friend sends me art, I can send some back :)
5 month update: I've been practicing with drawing angled heads and faces between classes, so I made art of my friend's character and she really liked it! I definitely can't draw the rest of the anatomy yet, but I'm proud of my progress and I'm going to keep at it :)
Make sure to update! Can’t wait!
This is amazing and exactly the type of drawing course someone like me needs. Please please please do not give up on this, I feel like I struck gold. I genuinely appreciate you for putting in the time and effort into making something like this, I know it couldn't have been easy but hopefully these comments could convince you the work was well worth the effort.
Teachers like you are seriously one of the most under appreciated talents in the industry. Especially considering you do this for free. Such an amazing person you are.

All the voices (Brad's family)
All the voices are Brad's except for one the one who kept asking questions...it was done by his daughter.
He also mentioned he hired a professional voice actor for his next episode.
And I can't believe how many voices he can do...like not being an professional voice actor
Really?!

The change from cartoon to live-action examples is deeply nostalgic. This is so helpful and definitely the most charming drawing resource I've every seen. Thank you.
Ohmy...I'M tearing up... THIS is it for me... I always get hang up on what tools I don't have then stop drawing and give up on art as a whole, then the depression kicks in... Watching most of the tutorials on TH-cam does not help me learn to the T with the little I have, it just reminds me what I don't have and cannot afford, it honestly is a sad cycle but THIS, this right here is awesome content man and it accounts for the ones with less and the ones with more.. So no one is missing out. Dude God bless you!
possibly the most cinematic and engaging tutorial I've ever seen in my entire life. Not even Studies, they had jokes too!! Really excited about how this channel will come out!! Keep going!!
Making this animation isnt easy,and you're doing a great job maybe sometimes you wont get enough appreciation or reward you deserve for this series but let me tell you it is very helpful and please dont stop making these :)
Hey, what's your art level now? Please reply to me!
I'm 22 years old and I've always wanted to draw. Today I finally decided to start.
27 years old learning for first time. This was great! 😄
Honestly, I actually like how you've made this series fun with all of those humourous elements! This feels like it's on the same level those other series of art tutorials created by children's book illustrators I like (mainly Sarah McIntyre and Rob Biddulph), while still being different!
You are me and my 7 year old daughter's new art teacher! I loved bonding with her over your assignments 😀
I’ve been drawing independently and learning things for years and this series STILL kept things together and helped me learn more important things :D
Mr. Brad! This is awesome stuff! I am tutoring a 6-year-old who is very interested in art and I am using your videos to help create my "curriculum". You are the best, thank you!!
Hahahaha, exact same situation for me. I am tutoring a couple of 6 y.o. twins as well, to create my 'curriculum' as well .😀
Best of luck to ya, how u doing now? 😅
@@qalbi-s_Ahnfy2095 Fantastic! There is such great joy and humility to be able to inspire the future generation and help polish their talents. It is going well, we made good progress on the fundamentals. How are you doing on your side?
Plz teach me frfr
Same thing here! I've never taught before so this is incredibly helpful
Wow Awesome 👍
th-cam.com/video/YLq8uBvGPn4/w-d-xo.html
Brad this is quite possibly the BEST learning resource I have ever come across (and I've been primary school teacher for almost 20 years!). Absolutely loved the first video and my inspired son may very well spend the entire day drawing together. Can't wait to enjoy more of these!
This is soooo digestible as a beginner. Thank you for being educational and not taking yourself too seriously, you are the best kind of teacher. Seriously.
I was a hobbyist art student before university but through all these years, this is the best art class I have ever watched.
"We can break down Jimmy into these core shapes."
Me: Okay!
Also me: *gets the chainsaw for mr brad*
Hello. I'm 26 and just learning as Graphic designer its my second profession. I never tried to draw things before but i really wanted to be a good designer. I don't have a talent. I cant even draw basic shapes. But now I found this channel , it really feels like i have friend teacher . THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
This is cool , I feel like I'm in a class with a great teacher and the lesson I like. Love this so much, a massive thanks for the video
if only art school was this simple and entertaining back then
same
I love how engaging and fun this class was
I've always been frustrated with trying to draw or do any kind of art and feeling hopeless . So many instructional books or vidoes I find assume people know these basic things so it's really nice to find this series that is informative and funny and keeps me engaged, when I'm an adult. I'm recommending this to lots of people.
This is the first time in my life I've felt like I have the ability to learn how to draw. And I had fun! So many youtube art tutorials have left me feeling depleted as the teacher tells me I just have to "feel it". Thank you for this, wish it had been around years ago! Also your pacing and video editing are super, as is your writing.
Those teachers are so wrong! I too, had teachers that had no idea. I've encountered many, "Just draw it", "If you need to learn it then you are many not meant for it" and even as far as " drawing can't really be taught". They are all wrong! I eventually found the right school and right method, learned it in 1 year, got pretty good at it after 2 years. Now I can use the drawing skill freely in the process of my art creation. You can learn it of you want it!
It's educational and entertaining, I see it is a little bit catered to younger audiences, but I still learned and blew from my nose once or twice.
Hey man I honestly can’t believe that these videos are free. They are high quality, quirky, and extremely amusing!
thay're awesome! :D
I've taken many beginner art classes. This is the first time anyone has told me to keep me wrist straight any only move my arm. It seems obvious but I'm that kind of clueless, so thank you. My lines actually look somewhat straight now.
As a 31 years old, I feel like I find back my inner child. From just drawing lines and circle, it brings tears to my eyes. The tears of joy. ❤
I’ve been dying to add real art fundamental learning in my nieces homeschooling but most TH-cam channels are mature or aimed at an adult vocabulary understanding and this is perfect!! I’ve already learned so much from you this last year and a half of my own art Journey Brad and I’m so excited I can now bring my niece along with me. :D keep up the awesome work!
This is the exact right moment in my life. Just bought an iPad purely to draw and paint in Procreate.
And this easy start, to draw shapes already gave me my first „good feeling“ in drawing.
Can’t wait for more, I am totally in!
Great to hear!
As a person who hasn’t had an art teacher in 3 years and want to learn how to draw better, this helps a lot more than you think :)
I've watched hours and hours of videos about how to draw over 17 years, and finally someone has explained to me how you actually draw a sphere!!! this was super helpful :)
"Aimed at children" - just the art class I have been looking for since I was a child, looong, looong ago . Showing art can be taught. Respect Mr. Cowboy. :)
this is almost like that one ahow i use to watch in dianey channel, so nostalgic
Science Court?
@@VerticalEvent no it was something like art attack
@@ganeshsubramanya21 you are right bro
Oohh yeaaah, I forgot how is called but it was super dope in the background there were like giants watercolors and stuff I watched it all my childhood
@@gabi33393 art attack i think
I don't know who Brad is what he does. I just did a quick search for drawing basics and this came up. All I can say is I'm super impressed with the excellence and professionalism put into this video. AAA quality. It feels like he works in Burbank, CA in a studio. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Brad. I look forward to learning from you in your other videos!
been searching the internet all day for beginner drawing lessons. Realise I need to look for children's drawing lessons! The word beginner apparently means you only have years of experience drawing. Thanks for these videos :)
As someone coming back to art after a long break due to some personal issues this greatly inspired me to finally come back. Keep doing what you're doing man!
Brad you are an AMAZING artist, EXCEPTIONAL teacher, HILARIOUS comedian, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. Your TH-cam has become your own TV channel to reach hundreds of thousands of viewers all over the world 😎😎
1:30 had you said " then you will only be hurting yourself Young Bat" I would've died :D
Homeschool family here, found these lessons for my kids, to then had to join them as it looked so fun. Great job on the video!!
Even I wanna be animator this is kinda inspiring ❤️❤️❤️
Yess
Omg i really think this art series is going to be a masterpiece on youtube. Thank you for doing this for free🤩🤩🤩
Im so glad that i have learned english so i could understand what people like you are trying to say (Im still looking forward in learning it more). Im 16 years old that thought i couldnt ever draw cus most of "tutorials for beginners" are complicated as f***. But you on other hand made it entertaining and educational AND because of that i gained a hope that i can learn how to draw. Thank you alot Brad, i really appreciate your effort into these series (if i made some mistakes in sentences im sorry, im Russian so its kind of hard to express feelings on other language)
Left handed learner here, Drawing has always been a dream of mine and I wanted to learn how to draw, hopefully Brad can teach me
The amount of details put into this, it's incredible. Thank you Brad for these videos! So funny and fun to watch!
The dot thing is really helping me. I really had a hard time making stable strokes and I'm getting the hang if it by doing this dot thing.
Thank youu!!
I'm a 19 year old trying to learn how to draw to surprise my boyfriend and as someone whose attention span is very short, this is the kind of class I've been dreaming of. Thank you!
Found it useful. Saw him on udemy but was disappointed to not find this kind of course on there. I love his method and how he adds humor into it. I learn better with the way he teaches
This is cool. I'm 21 and I can't hide my excitement
I’m 30 and brushing up on my art skills. These videos are sincerely amazing. Even for someone who considers themselves an intermediate artist. This stuff is TH-cam gold!
Absolutely loved this! So entertaining and yet super informative. It has made learning fun and totally motivated me to continue. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this series!!
Hi! I just want to say thank you so much for doing these, you don't know how long I've been hunting for some kind of introduction to drawing just like this! I've always wanted to learn how to draw, but never really knew where to start and these fundamentals are so helpful in doing just that.
Dang your channel needs more recognition this series is so good
I'm a 18 yr old med student always stressed the f out cause med college u know. Thought of learning a new skill that could also be a stress reliever. Didn't know where to start. This is a gem. Gonna take time to complete the course for sure. Time for self development !!!
I never expect that i will be watching this tutorial at the age of 23 to start learn drawing..😂😂😂 maybe a bit late but im motivate after reading many manhwa.. Maybe next month i will retire if i still don't graduate from this video tutorial 😂
How lucky you're, I'm watching this at the age of 26 to start learn drawing🤣🤣 keep fighting brother, I can wait to see you art
Most engaging, motivating and just fun video I’ve was since the start of the pandemic. Looks like you put a lot of effort into this and just wanted to let you know that it made me want to learn drawing so much! Thank you!!
Even if this was behind a paywall i would've pay for it. Seems like there's no point in going to art school anymore, instead use that money for an iPad and Apple pencil. Thanks brad excited for more advanced lessons 🙏
th-cam.com/video/YLq8uBvGPn4/w-d-xo.html
you cant always buy Samsung first cause its cheaper and transition to iPad later.
I'm an Art teacher too, and your classes are so cool. Thanks Mr. Cowboy!
This is awesome. Thanks so much for doing this. Art was always so daunting because no one ever taught the basics.
This is awesome! I was searching on how to teach my kid a basic drawing lesson and I found this. This is gold! Thanks, Sir, Brad! Great video.
Absolutely love this. Such a brilliant way to teach. My children love it too
As someone who wants to learn how to draw at a basic level so I can give the artists I work with a general idea of what I'm talking about. This is incredible.
4:14 this whole is what I needed , my issue is control, cause my lines will end up wonky sometimes and discourage me from continuing and I wasn’t sure why I couldn’t, arm works better !
my hand hurts from practicing for day one! Im still practicing in squares lol. Im trying to correct myself since im used to use my wrist everytime i need to draw a line! I cant describe how grateful I am for this video. Thank you for your effort and making this class, light, engaging and entertaining. ❤️
Even as someone who can draw (slightly), I found this to be a really engaging video in every aspect. Very nice work - wish you the best of luck with your channel
Omg thank u!! I always see things I want to paint or draw but have no skills! Now I am starting to draw just from watching your shapes video!! And I'm doing it with my 8 yr old who loves to draw, thanks for giving us the skills to make art and spend time together! 🥰
I am 26 and this is very useful content for me! Thank you so much for having it. You are awesome.
Thank you SO much for this, I love it! I've always wanted to learn more but definitely need the structure of something like this. Thanks!
Yuvraj - present sir
So much excited :)
✋ I'm also present. 😁
I love how he made everything very clear and I learned a lot along with the assignments and the homework
Am a 20 year old and i wanna learn art just wanna say you are never too late to learn anything.
Thank you so MUCH for this video. I’ve been drawing for awhile and use reference photos and try to follow all the complicated lines and stuff. It’s never quite right and I can never seem to create my own art. Going back to basic is just want I needed! Maybe now I can find my voice in my art.
I love this so much!! It's entertaining and I feel like I learn actually a lot from it
Thank you Brad!!! This is perfect for my family. We can't wait to get started.
Thank you so much for this - I got given a drawing tablet by a friend, who did not know that I am absolutely clueless at art, but I didn't want to sell the tablet as I was looking for a new skill. The style of these lessons are great and really informative, so thank you
I've been drawing for a while but I want to get better, and art classes or even SkillShare is out of reach for me. This is an amazing series with easy to understand concepts and a touching amount of encouragement. I love it so much, it means the world to have such an engaging, informal class for free.
"We've been lied to!" hehe I love the revolt that almost started in class! lol
lol
