    Out of the many art tutorials I followed over the years, I truly and deeply appreciate how simple yet effective you did this and for the many beginners I am sure they would as well. Thank you and I hope you do more videos.

    i have been drawing for 6 hours now, with breaks of course, but I seem to not just get it. Your video saved me so much, not only is your voice so soothing but your choice of words are very encouraging and reassuring us beginners. I also like to mention how amazing it is that you actually showed a live footage of you sketching and refining the lines, which made me understood how to draw it better. Thank you, definitely gave this video a like 👍

    When i was young and had "picture/drawing" classes in school, my teacher gave us box with magazines and told us to take page from this magazine and draw one of the persons, he also told us to draw the picture upside down ,because its easier for the "left and right side of the brain to work together this way" , he said the reason its tough to draw something is because the both sides of the brains arent connected yet while drawing, once they are- it becomes easier to see details and get it down on paper. Very interesting way of thinking and he was a VERY good teacher!

    • @paintwithcaleb
      @paintwithcaleb  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That’s great! I flip my art upside down at some point nearly every time I draw. It’s SO valuable!! A great way to see things with fresh eyes and to draw more accurately. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!! I just found out recently this year that I am missing the basic shape knowledge! Ive been learning since and HOLY COW realizing this has TRUELY opened up my art. Please note that I was one of those kids who only did "Observation drawing" going RIGHT for the detail every time!

    OMG! THIS has just helped seal the whole concept that: "Drawing is basically made up of shapes..." You couldn't have shown a better introductory example ad that pawn. I cannot wait to try this. I started an art class, supposedly fir beginners - but it wasn't. I will stick with tutorials such as this, and just practice, practice practice. Thank you. You are an awesome drawer - but more importantly, for me, a brilliant teacher (the two do not always go together, sadly...).

  • @Juliano08
    @Juliano08 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It really helped, but my problem is that you use tools which only works on digital art, and it only works on references. I guess it doesn’t matter if you can mostly only draw references, but when you draw the boxes on the dragon for example: it’s basically just tracing, and tracing is the 1 thing I don’t want to be learning.

    • @autist7157
      @autist7157 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      To be honest, I'd suggest you to start with drawing from a reference first. Once you're familiar with all the shapes and concepts, you can start working on drawing from your imagination.

    as a retarded perfectionist i have to thank you, i always knew that i was going too fast and with the wrong method (not mentioning the high expectations i had) which caused me to stop drawing for a WHILE now that im back in the game this video is really helpfull, breaking down everything down is so powerfull, and focusing on that instead of insane details when doing reference/study work is so much easier! thank you very much !!

    • @paintwithcaleb
      @paintwithcaleb  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question. The best way to be able to draw ANYTHING from your head is to first draw it many, many times from references. Draw that certain thing from many different angles, positions, and lighting situations over and over, using references. I’m my opinion, the only way to gain the ability to draw something accurately from your head is to first build your mental visual library through observational drawing from references, whether that be from photos or from life. A lot of people want to only draw from their head because they don’t want to be a “slave” to the reference. But truly understanding anatomy, proportions, and your subject’s attributes will actually, truly give you FREEDOM, and the ability to draw that subject from your head in whatever angle and position you want because you’ve drawn it so many times and understand what it’s made up of. I hope this helps.

      Not that I know of. However, the important thing is to practice breaking down/simplifying your reference image into basic shapes on your own. That will make you a better artist and soon it will become second nature for you, it will become easier with practice. Best wishes!
