I have the same struggle. Also, watching videos that show a piece that actually takes 24 hours to render, completed within 5 mins, will increase your anxiety to finish your own work quickly.
Rugger pro GavLar Same, often I find that when drawing I rush into doing the tone rather than sketching the outlines first because I want it to be complete and to look “good”.
Your talents are beyond words!!! Your drawings are amazing. I do not think you can teach your style of drawing. Your style is yours alone and totally God sent!! I also love listening to you speak. You are absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing what you do with us
I can't draw. But that doesn't stop me. So I use tracing paper and outline pictures. then I fill in the lines with water color. I also can't play music. But... that doesn't stop me. I goofed around with an harmonica. Little kids think I am a wonderful musician. But ELECTRONICS. There is something I can do. I have a skill to repair many complex circuits. It is a dead industry now ... kinda like knowing how to shoe horses. But that doesn't stop me ..... Your talents are awesome mr beardshaw. Thanks for posting this video.
david mundy it isnt an dead industry its just hasn't been growing as quickly as others its a skill/profession that will never go away just keep updating your knowledge with as tech gets more advanced bud
This helped me immensely. Am working on a portrait project for someone and I have always had torulbe creating this texture of skin, but you made it clear for me as well as applicable to more than just skin (I.e surfaces of rocks, woods, etc.).
This is the 1st time I have seen your channel (suggested videos). I knew within a few minutes of this video and noticing the thumbnails on the sidebar that I was going to subscribe. At about 2:30 I realized HOW you were drawing and my mouth nearly dropped open! Seriously?! No preliminary scetch and this all comes out in proportion with amazing textures! You are young (to already be THIS good!) and I am betting you are going to do very well for yourself!! WONDERFUL video; thank you. I look forward to following you and catching up on your past videos.
That honestly would work way better for me. I struggle with shading but when you break it down into the texture explanation it made perfect sense. Thanks!
Your advice to shift from focusing on creating a shadow to creating varying textures with pressure on the pencil is great. Like turning your drawing upside down, using a different way to focus on your intentions can relieve the stress of feeling you can’t get it right. Thanks! You’re a fine teacher, very clear. Don’t wonder if you are explaining well enough, you are.
I've been drawing as long as I can remember, but, I am now trying to teach my daughters how to create images more detailed. We often forget where we began. Thank you for the reminder.
This was really good, I'm an apprentice at a tattoo shop and I've been trying to learn how to draw portraits from photos, which I strangely find a lot more difficult to do than from life. However I've been taught to do it in a similar method, and it is effective. Great video!
I'm 54 and I want to learn draw. I just learned yesterday that sketching and drawing are different so that tells you where I am at. You are so good that I'm not sure if I I want to continue watching you because I don't want to be discouraged, but you really are excellent!
T and Z..... you have the right motivation to make you good at what you do.... can you make a suggestion? Instead of trying to draw subjects completely just draw a portion of it..... just one finger instead of a whole hand.... just some lips instead of a whole face.... each item one at a time.... later you can put pieces and parts together as you master each individual thing.... I know you will do well. Bless you
Such a different approach than the standard. I am currently working on blending shade so it is not such a drastic change from one area to another. I have looked at a lot of different techniques, and most artists just suggest tools vs methods. I really like your approach. Also, if you ever get to, I would LOVE to see you do one of your drawings in real time vs sped up. Incredibly talented
I found this texture drawing really cool and quite beautiful. It reminds me of a guy YEARS AND YEARS ago when I was a teenager, I saw him draw by little dots and how he used them to make the most beautiful nearly identical images and portraits. I found them so interesting. I'm going to have to review your videos and see if I can get some hints. I'm actually pretty good with shading but sometimes, I lack the texture. I am amazingly proud when I do colored pencils. It's just a total matter of layering and layering and seeing the different layers. I'm also not that good at using a reference. I usually draw from my imagination. I wish I could do better with reference! Thanks so much for the vid. thumbs up!! Sub!! I did!
Kat F that art form of using dots to render an image is called “stipple”, not sure if you knew, but in case you didn’t, and wanted to find more art pieces in that style 🤙🤙.
Check out Chuck Close. His work was hyper realism in the early 70s, then he became quadriplegic in 1988, and now uses large circles and dots that, at a distance, are amazingly realistic. Chuck Close is kinda every realism artists hero, even if they dont know it yet :)
I learnt to this may years ago in a graphics course. It was called "stipple" or stipple effect. As Airbrushers can also created the effect. Oddly I like the style yet have never painted in stipple using my airbrush after all these years. In the brush painting world, its more commonly known as Pointillism. Which was taken from a famous French Painter who invented the style with rough brush strokes and added colour for depth and form. Stipple it's self was used by ink illustrators almost as old or older even then when Mondrian invented the style for painting canvases.
I definitely want to see tutorials of yours on drawing realistic textures, your images look absolutely awesome and would love to learn to draw like you do, starting from a very basic level I would think.
What an awesome video! I always shade, but seeing how you use texture really gives it a much more realistic element. I can`t wait to try it myself thank you.
The best advice I need to hear , if it sounds way to simple, or CRAZY, then there's truth in it . I know people can't handle the truth . Unless they are prepared to grow thru what they go thru. Thank you man
Very nice illustrations!! I could never draw without doing the outline draft first. It is a very realistic way of shading as well since texture is really created by shadows hitting a surface and those little bumps casting little shadows onto the surface! I have never thought of it this way.
I thought the same thing. But I remember drawing a portrait with a biro ball point pen and never once did I 'smudge' the image with the end of my finger, as we sometimes do when using pencil, in order to darken an area of the face. Texture would be 'unsmudged' markings and shading is 'smudged' markings
@@AllSentientBeings1 That is a great example. I've had a similar experience. Sometimes I prefer to draw with biro, maybe because it eliminates this shading issue that I'm imagining with pencil.
AllSentientBeings1 shading is creating darker areas to give an illusion of depth. You can smudge soft mediums to make the graduations smoother but smudging isn’t required for something to be shaded. With a pen you can stipple, crosshatch, use contour lines with varied line width, scumbling. There are some really good tutorials, look up “shading with a pen”
This reminds me of old illustrations that used cross-hatching to create shading. The difference is your tiny strokes create a much more natural look to the drawing. Well done.
Want to hear another secred? CONTRASTS! Earlyer, I alwas blended in every edge, my shading was always very smooth. I figured out, it makes drawings more realistic, when you put some darke lines or parts into your painting. :D
I sorta did this in class and my teacher said focusing on the details will end up making my drawing look fake and to focus more on lining out where the shading would go (what you said didn't work for you). I think in the end, we all have to find what works for us. Your drawings look great!
Thank you I struggle with getting my shading right not so much with the blending but the placement of it because I also struggle a lil with perspective. However I'm having a lot more success because of you. This was the first video I watched of yours and I'll definitely be visiting often and tuning in from now on. Thank you so much. I think maybe I'll try doing a drawing using solely textures and pressure and see what that sparks. :)
*Shading by texture* That’s a new perspective for me for sure!!! I never thought of recreating textures as a technique for shading... Thanks! Great drawing by the way as well! 👍🏽🙏🏽
Texture. I see myself improving on my concentration already. Great video and lots of encouragement from the simple way you put it in practice for us the newees to learn. Thank you.
If you paid attention the technique was focusing on texture rather than shading. And using different pressure with texture to create the impression of differences in light. Pay attention.
Well, your instruction seems very practical: focus on texture (no matter how tedious) and the shading will show up in it which you can then enhance. Turns my world around a bit, and that's good. Thanks Dan.
Wow I really dig your art, your style, it's really sweet. I dig the video, dig your channel. I've started drawing when I was really young, those tips are spot on.
You don't have to defend your choice in making the video. The title and thumbnail show whom it's good for and at the beginning of the short vid you explain whom it can help! Great video!
Awesome video!! How do you draw faces without references? What is the simplest way of drawing figures without references? Please make tutorials on figure drawing.
Parashmoni Kashyap Yep, ill add it too the list. In the mean time, I really recommend drawing books like Michael Hamptons ‘Figure Drawing : Design and Invention, and also the work by Andrew Loomis. All these are great places to learn about figure drawing, I’ll be showcasing some of their methods through my videos.
Parashmoni Kashyap No problem :) you're welcome any time .. I'm an artist too , a self taught one and I was born artist , I draw from the age of 5 .. I want to make some vidoes but I haven't a good cam sadly ... tho you can ask me for help whenever you need
Wow. I wish I had a tenth of your talent. It's such a challenge to put on paper what the eye sees and you do it so effortlessly. I just subscribed and am going to spend the morning binge watching your channel. You are amazing and even better you're sharing it with the world.
Man!! ..shading's a lot easier than what u did there ..😂 But love those textures.. .they give another dimension to the portrait. ..waiting for some more illustrations 'bout creating the textures
Yes I have found that using dots and marks gradually builds up a texture and solidity in many surfaces which the eye then interprets as whatever it should be. All surfaces are just texture after all!
sometimes..you have to think about the people that can’t draw. you’re videos are awesome, but that’s the only thing you needa think about. btw, love your accent.
I think the problem here is that you're asking this on a high level technique video. This isn't about the basics of drawing, if you want basics this is the absolute wrong place to be. If you can't draw, start from basics and work your way up so that you can reach this step, e.g shading, consistent lines, analyzing photos, etc. Nobody can do calculus without knowing how to add, same applies to art and drawing.
Handsome and talented! I have been making artwork for many years but I'm always open to trying different techniques. I will give this a try. Great video.
That’s how started to work on faces when I was playing around with pen & ink. I found that I could control it with stippling. I worked on the subject from top left so I wouldn’t accidentally smudge the ink. It’s about the only way the my portraits came out looking correct in my mind’s eye.
I'm the same way bro 💯 thank God I'm not the only one who uses the freestyle as u go technique, it's jus harnessing our brains natural ability of visual mapping, like when ppl see Jesus on toast or figure in the clouds, the more random, the more the mind wants to make sense of it so it's in overdrive..point in case, the "as I go" technique I call it
Miguel Cruz I don't see how the hell this is "hate". Also, it's exactly like pointilism. The main difference is slightly more varied shapes instead of dots (obviously). But if you have ever done either of these, you'll know that the idea is exactly the same. Personally I like the look, but I don't care much for the approach and finish. With that said I paint with oils and acrylics a lot, and I work as a freelance illustrator through digital mediums (I paint on a wacom tablet. Digital lets me work with people and companies anywhere in the world). So it's not exactly something I do a lot with anymore, but have done a fair bit of it in the past. The look is quite something, and the finished result seems a lot more detailed than pointilism, but in reality it's about the same. While the technique obviously varies slightly, it's the same principles.
Peteru Avertis mate wtf did u need to include a paragraph of how your an illustrator completely off topic you could of just put the last bit and that's it
So I’m feeling meh about my faces, but I can’t draw the body for the life of me (male and female) and legs and arms are really hard... do you have any tips?
That Galactic Space Wolf I’ll be covering those things in later videos, a great place to start is to look at some drawing books, I recommend Michael Hampton Figure Drawing: Design and Invention, it’s really useful. I learn from that book
That Galactic Space Wolf I recommend studying anatomy as much as possible. I made a Pinterest and just copied other people's artworks and learned a great deal of anatomy. In a year of studying anatomy I was able to draw human bodies and greatly improved my art all around. Stay consistent
I've always been alright with shading not great but alright, my favorite thing to draw are eyes so when it comes to making a bigger image of an eye, where you can get or put more detail in, I think texture would work there for me, it's a new concept for a lot of ppl so I think once you try it and see what happens no one can really say it isn't for them. I enjoyed the video and the new idea to better my drawing and sketching. So thank you!
You are good at drawing . I think most beginners need to know about measuring angles shapes and sizes though and the thing to do is look and look and keep looking and comparing. If they can get the idea of angles it would be a huge help to them. This was probably not the message though and thank you for your thoughts.
Correct. Props to the kid above, as a photo realist he does have talent, but this is NOT, I am afraid, good teaching at all. Anatomy and roughing out structural proportions, using reference marks, and managing tone are all far more important if you want to learn to draw, rather than copy photos. Shading, and mark making in general develop over time, with experience, as you learn to draw.
Carl Kligerman this is true. Over the years I’ve became a hyper realistic artist and the most important thing to me is proportions. You can have the best texture or contrast or tone or whatever. But when something is a millimeter or two off, it just doesn’t look right and having perfect shapes makes your drawing that much better.
I liked this video because I found it not so helpful in the technics but it’s actually helpful in finding and finally seeing that hidden perspective to get better in drawing so thank you!! I’m gonna subscribe now to your channel and take a closer look at your drawings and your technics over all..
Dan Beardshaw I was wondering have you made a video of what young artist should take into consideration, tools and equipment etc? I think I really need it I don’t know what to do next 😅love ur vids!!!!
Dan Beardshaw sorry for the late reply. How about all the basic bases, supply alternatives and what you should focus on first? Etc all kind of summarised, that would be cool - oh and useful sites! Thank you 😊
Yo you are a genius artist, from my understanding you figured that out on your own (texture over shading) and it is amazing I hope you're able to use this to make a living for your self and also thank you I don't think I got the patient but this vid does help and I've decided to subscribe
I can see you have used shading on your drawing around nose and eyes at around 3.56 to 4 +, so why are you saying you are not shading. You are great at what you do but why are you lying? This video does not help anyone.
Patience was always my weakness, concentrating for the first half of the picture then getting to eager to finish it then rushing the ending.
Same condition here if it took more than 48 hours
Same problem
I’m still doing that bro 🤦🏽♂️💯
I have the same struggle. Also, watching videos that show a piece that actually takes 24 hours to render, completed within 5 mins, will increase your anxiety to finish your own work quickly.

My search history: How to draw stick figures
I’ve never seen anyone draw this way. You’ve got quite a unique talent. Thanks for sharing, and I love your work and videos.
Very nice illustrations!! I could never draw without doing the outline draft first. It is a very realistic way of shading as well since texture is really created by shadows hitting a surface and those little bumps casting little shadows onto the surface! I have never thought of it this way.
“No shading.”
You’ve got dark areas and light areas. That’s shading. Doesn’t matter if you do it with built up textures, it’s still shading.
I thought the same thing. But I remember drawing a portrait with a biro ball point pen and never once did I 'smudge' the image with the end of my finger, as we sometimes do when using pencil, in order to darken an area of the face.

Your use of the word "Technique" is click-bait. The only technique mentioned was press lighter with the pencil for lighter shading.
How about a thesaurus? Technique, method, approach etc.
He said technique not techniques.
If you paid attention the technique was focusing on texture rather than shading. And using different pressure with texture to create the impression of differences in light. Pay attention.

You definitely must have been given a special kind of gift.
Time lapse bullshit of a special kind....!
Really good art
a URL reference on a fuking texture vid mate?
@@Blickyrobyason WOW, why would he be so generous to someone so rude....
That’s how started to work on faces when I was playing around with pen & ink. I found that I could control it with stippling. I worked on the subject from top left so I wouldn’t accidentally smudge the ink. It’s about the only way the my portraits came out looking correct in my mind’s eye.
by the force, will you please stop it with the hands!
I love it. Such a unique approach. Goes to show you there is no one right way to do anything.
hah cool

SENPAI!! I LUV YOUR CHANNEL
dood you are everywhere
This comment is overrated
Great advice! I will definitely practice this technique in mind
I'm the same way bro 💯 thank God I'm not the only one who uses the freestyle as u go technique, it's jus harnessing our brains natural ability of visual mapping, like when ppl see Jesus on toast or figure in the clouds, the more random, the more the mind wants to make sense of it so it's in overdrive..point in case, the "as I go" technique I call it
This is not made to teach us anything, but to show how clever he is and I am impressed.
Very much like pointillism.
Lily Vaughan looks like you got a bad case of the hates. 😂 lol
?
umm, no?? nothing like pointillism...
Miguel Cruz I don't see how the hell this is "hate".
Also, it's exactly like pointilism. The main difference is slightly more varied shapes instead of dots (obviously). But if you have ever done either of these, you'll know that the idea is exactly the same.
Personally I like the look, but I don't care much for the approach and finish. With that said I paint with oils and acrylics a lot, and I work as a freelance illustrator through digital mediums (I paint on a wacom tablet. Digital lets me work with people and companies anywhere in the world). So it's not exactly something I do a lot with anymore, but have done a fair bit of it in the past.
The look is quite something, and the finished result seems a lot more detailed than pointilism, but in reality it's about the same. While the technique obviously varies slightly, it's the same principles.
Peteru Avertis mate wtf did u need to include a paragraph of how your an illustrator completely off topic you could of just put the last bit and that's it
Your the best realistic drawer that i know! I love your drawing techiques and your drawings !!your the best!
So I’m feeling meh about my faces, but I can’t draw the body for the life of me (male and female) and legs and arms are really hard... do you have any tips?
That Galactic Space Wolf I’ll be covering those things in later videos, a great place to start is to look at some drawing books, I recommend Michael Hampton Figure Drawing: Design and Invention, it’s really useful. I learn from that book
Just look at references and practice
Dan Beardshaw thank you!!
That Galactic Space Wolf I recommend studying anatomy as much as possible. I made a Pinterest and just copied other people's artworks and learned a great deal of anatomy. In a year of studying anatomy I was able to draw human bodies and greatly improved my art all around. Stay consistent
Get a human anatomy drawing books. Its helps alot
Bro yo channel is growing real fast..... All da best.....
Thank you for sharing! Very interesting, ur newest fan!😊💗👍🏼
I've always been alright with shading not great but alright, my favorite thing to draw are eyes so when it comes to making a bigger image of an eye, where you can get or put more detail in, I think texture would work there for me, it's a new concept for a lot of ppl so I think once you try it and see what happens no one can really say it isn't for them. I enjoyed the video and the new idea to better my drawing and sketching. So thank you!
Woah
Bunny Senpai aadcddd
i need friends im lonely :(
You are good at drawing . I think most beginners need to know about measuring angles shapes and sizes though and the thing to do is look and look and keep looking and comparing. If they can get the idea of angles it would be a huge help to them. This was probably not the message though and thank you for your thoughts.
I'll try it tomorrow at school. 😂
(Edit) 6 moths later: I forgot to do it... and it is reallly much work to take in...
Lol
Lots of talent! Congrats and stay the course.
Man u r genius
Dan Beardshaw, you are an extremely talented artistic individual. And moreover, you're an amazing artist! Excellent work!
For a beginner you make drawing more unachievable.
Correct. Props to the kid above, as a photo realist he does have talent, but this is NOT, I am afraid, good teaching at all. Anatomy and roughing out structural proportions, using reference marks, and managing tone are all far more important if you want to learn to draw, rather than copy photos. Shading, and mark making in general develop over time, with experience, as you learn to draw.
Carl Kligerman this is true. Over the years I’ve became a hyper realistic artist and the most important thing to me is proportions. You can have the best texture or contrast or tone or whatever. But when something is a millimeter or two off, it just doesn’t look right and having perfect shapes makes your drawing that much better.
Wow...you have microscopic vision and to top is off is your ability to record what you see. Amazing stuff.
Man you are good!
Dood you are gude
I liked this video because I found it not so helpful in the technics but it’s actually helpful in finding and finally seeing that hidden perspective to get better in drawing so thank you!! I’m gonna subscribe now to your channel and take a closer look at your drawings and your technics over all..
wow
Wonderful tips! Thank you so much for sharing!
I like it
Another excellent video, sir! I find doing such textural drawing very therapeutic. Keep up the great work!
This is helpful!!
I also love your accent. I dont have one. Im sad :(
yes you do :)
Sam. I have always loved British accents. I have just a plain boring american accent with a hint of western since I was raised in Utah.
Life is sour that's awesome!
H00FLEP00FLE . . . You just have an invisible accent 🤪
Everyone has an accent you just don't notice it cos everyone around you has the same accent
I am not sure who will be helped greatly by your explanation, but your display of pure skill is awesome.
Yo!
RB Anime life Sup!
Dan Beardshaw I was wondering have you made a video of what young artist should take into consideration, tools and equipment etc? I think I really need it I don’t know what to do next 😅love ur vids!!!!
RB Anime life I suppose I could try too focus on that subject for beginners in a video, any thing you want me answer on here?
Dan Beardshaw sorry for the late reply. How about all the basic bases, supply alternatives and what you should focus on first? Etc all kind of summarised, that would be cool - oh and useful sites! Thank you 😊
Hands down...the best.. very motivating..
You just told us to draw realistically and not how to draw realistically 🤦♂️
Yo you are a genius artist, from my understanding you figured that out on your own (texture over shading) and it is amazing I hope you're able to use this to make a living for your self and also thank you I don't think I got the patient but this vid does help and I've decided to subscribe
I can see you have used shading on your drawing around nose and eyes at around 3.56 to 4 +, so why are you saying you are not shading. You are great at what you do but why are you lying? This video does not help anyone.
Oh my goodness, this is a great video and information. Excellent result but that has to take forever! The result is well worth it
couldn't watch long enough to actually see any technique. all that hand gesturing is too distracting
You are an amazing artist, rock on young man.
Awesome video, love your work. You have shown me a new way to look at drawing that I had not considered before. Thanks for sharing!
