- Sick of the ground in the front of your drawings being a boring blank shape? Do you struggle to make it look interesting and real? Does it blend in with the rest of the scene? Hear some techniques and then watch them demonstrated to see the effect they have

such a fanstastic video Stephen! You got such a talent to explain complex concepts to people and inspire them - I am thinking of the foreshortening part. So far, everybody explained it for houses and maybe poles, but never for this type of organic themes. (Your video of drawing the lawn is also impressive and very useful for this topic). As others said, before this video I never thought to draw something like this. But after this I gave a try (thanks for the reference) and following your steps it was actually pretty easy and a joyful experience. Thank you!
How great. Always wonderful to hear people can go further than they think. 😀
I love how you explain how to take a tangled mess and break it down into manageable segments. Before you, I would look at scenes like this and not even attempt it because I did not see how I could possibly draw pebbles, tons of grass, gobs of leaves and make it not look like a mess. I draw with colored, graphite, and charcoal pencils. I am too unsure to try drawing with a pen because I am still too new at this. I have only been drawing for 6 months at the age of 64. Thanks to videos like these I am learning that I can be creative. I may never be a world class artist but I can still enjoy the fun in creating a fantastic drawing.
I started art as an adult at 50, but painting in oils. The drawing came later. Never too old! All the best with your drawing journey and I’m glad I can tag along sometimes. 😀
I get so jealous of how easy it looks and understand that it is NOT! Thanks for the lesson anyway Mr. Travers! 🙂
I never said this was easy. In fact, I wasn’t liking how it was going two thirds of the way through. It was only in the last 20% of the drawing I felt confident. This is why we have to keep going to the end. We only learn some valuable lesson in the end stages of the drawing. Give it a go Lena. Then the next one will be easier. 😀
"Because I like it like that." Yessssss!
Your drawing looks more realistic than the photo! I've never thought about drawing scenes like this, probably didn't think it was really possible, but you've certainly proved otherwise!
Thanks for all your lessons.
Regarding your comment in the video about being careful not to make things too dark because "I can't really bring that back with a pen, can I?". Although it's a different style, I thought I'd mention this because it might be a cool technique to look into if you haven't thought of it already: Manga artists use white-out pens (or dip-pens using whiteout as ink) not only to erase pen mistakes but also to create negative/whitespace where there wasn't any before. There's a great video demonstrating this on the DokiDoki Drawing channel from a few years ago where they show how to create different highlighted layers of leaves in an area of thick vegetation using that approach. It's a really interesting technique, in my opinion.
Several of the "line and wash" Channels on YT also speak of "layering" inks, which works a bit better with pigmented inks than dye-type inks... AND there IS real White Ink out there in both varieties... whether you prefer acrylic or alcohol...
I'm currently experimenting in small amounts with blending washes with white to lighten values, as well as dubiously playing at a few drops of blue or red-orange (ish?) to my shader brush-pens for the slightly warmer effect of shade and cooler effect of shadow, instead of JUST darkening per grey and black wash alone... just hints, mind you... but teasing a few ideas out as I go...
In case anyone finds the idea interesting or appealing... haha ;o)
Beautiful landscape 👍
Thank you.
Great class. Thank you.
My pleasure 😀
The fence came out beautifully! Thanks a lot for your insights on Drawing.
Have been doing some nature drawings now because of you. ^^ lots of fun being in the woods sometimes! ❤
Thanks. Yes, I’ve been enjoying this shift in subjects as well. 😀
I love your work 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Mario
The dot method you've used Stephen is a new one for me. I'm going to try that.
"Because I like it like that". yesss!
Works for me. 😆
I'm impressed at your ability to create use/negative space, Stephen. Well done.
Thanks again.
Thanks Eugene. It’s an important technique to have available. 😀
Nice, nice. I love watching you draw. You are good and I learn a lot every time I watch your videos. Thank you Stephen
The great to hear and kind of you to say Diane. 😀
Dude, do you ever sleep?
I enjoy drawing😀
1:38 “we certainly can’t get away with drawing things like this early on in our drawing”
Came to this video after attempting the reference in the community post. Sad to say that’s pretty much how I started it 😅
Haha. Sometimes tripping up is the best way to make sure we don’t do it again. And a sense of humour will get us through pretty much anything. 😀
@@stephentraversart most definitely. Thanks for the continuously great vids and congrats on 100k!
I find that everything related to plants, trees and generally speaking "Nature", is very difficult.
Thanks for the video. It is most useful.
Thank you, Stephen! I always learn some new things watching your videos 😊
Excellent Dejan. That’s just what I hope for 😀
The quick perspective refresher was spot on TY
Thank you once again for giving me some great ways of seeing and approaching my art!
Great video as always 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you. 😀
Might only be that I'm "Tennessee as hell" BUT that looks like a perfectly respectable road to me... We've got quite a lot of those among access roads and throughout the mountain "twisties" where I meditate on my motorcycle... haha...
Good show, Stephen! ;o)
Yeah, haha. I’ve certainly walked many of them. These sorts of trails come into their own during bush fires. 🔥
@@stephentraversart Yeah, that they do... The softer ground can make the back-end wiggle and rattle your nerves, too... BUT motorcycles are awfully popular around here... haha...
AND wildfires are pretty serious even on asphalt or tarmac... ;o)
Incredible 😊
I like to draw old rural churches typical of my region of the US, so your videos of the “environs” have been very helpful. The one feature I haven’t seen you draw is clouds. Have you considered doing a video on drawing clouds or do you never include them? I’ve experimented but I’d love to see how you would draw them.
Thanks. I don’t have much experience of clouds, but they are on one of the lists of possible videos. Appreciate the suggestion 😀
Lovely drawing. You make it look easy. I realize that I think I need to practice making different types of marks, like grasses or leaves. You’ve been doing it a while so it comes naturally but I really have to think about it and then they come out looking weird. I’ll keep working on it. Practice, practice, practice!
Nice demo. Stephen how long have you been practicing pen drawing ? I find you draw very fast but accurate. It’s many year’s experience, isn’t it ? Thanks for showing!
Thanks David. I’ve been pen drawing for about three years. I do draw fast. I guess I’m just impatient. But I think I draw straighter and more lively lines when I draw them quickly😀
Wonderful video, thank you so much ❤
Glad it was helpful Francesca. 😀
oh, yes, using a reducing glass was a favorite self-check by 19th and early 20th century artists
Thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks
That’s very generous Santone. Much appreciated. 😀
@@stephentraversartThat's Ok Stephen I just really appreciate your videos Thank you
What type of pen is that. Mine always dry out so fast.
COPIC Multiliners. Usually 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mm.
Your style reminds me of vagabond
I’m honoured. Thanks 😀
