- Even relatively simple subjects can have a lot of detail - particularly in various surface textures. It is so easy to either ignore it or get tangled up in trying to draw too much of it. Listen to this technique and watch the demo at the same time and learn how to draw surface textures and achieve the correct balance and marks. You even have a chance to draw it as well using the reference photo from the channel Community Page.

I draw with colored pencils, graphite, and charcoal. The other day I was drawing a still life and I got to where I needed to draw the woven cloth upon which the objects sat. It was so full of detail that it looked overwhelming. So, I asked myself, "What would Stephen Travers do?" I drew enough to have a few details give the feeling of a woven cloth without getting bogged down in every, little, detail. Thank you!
Haha. It’s sounds like you’ve fully grasped the concept. Have fun with it now. 😀

I opened almost every one just to do that. I can't believe it took me so l long to find your channel.
beautiful tonal value tutorial
Thank you. Much appreciated😀
Your videos are consistently helpful, right to the point, and just the right length. You should have a million subscribers. I just sent an email to an art group I organize w/ 430 members. It included my top 10 favorite YT channels. I had no problem putting you on it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
That’s great to hear Jeff, and I really appreciate your spreading the word about my channel. I could be happy with a million subscribers 🤣
I’m having a 2nd go at this one today and finished the cottage from your other video yesterday. These videos are so helpful and I am very grateful for your wonderful teaching. I fear if I hadn’t found you I would have wasted lots of time doing things ineffectually.
Great to hear Birdie 😀
i'm just always amazed by your drawings..
Kind of you to say Reemara

Love your enthusiasm. Thanks 😀
Wonderful!
Thanks Jeanne
You are an amazing artist!
Very helpful as always. Thank you
That’s great 😀
Stephen, this video was very helpful. I’m guilty of overloading details in a drawing. Simplifying the details will help my drawings tremendously. Your shed turned out so beautiful. Thanks for all the info.
Glad it helped. It can be a tricky balance to get in a scene such as this. 😀
Thank you, one of your best.
Glad you think so!😀
thank you,,, it real help me knowing where to start drawing, how to use lines, where to go dark and light, where to put more detail and not,,, where to focus
Sounds like you’re really paying attention. All the best experimenting with it. 😀
Wow, this thorough tutorial of such a complex topic is just what I needed, thanks! I will revisit this for sure and try to draw alongside of you. It will be a challenge, but this provides so many learning possibilities. I can't believe that one can find this high quality content for free!
You're very welcome! Glad to help. 😀
That's just magnificent! You're a great, great artist and teacher🙏🏼
Thank you Mario. Kind of you to say. 😀
Am i the only one who cant stop hearing 'shit'? 10:42 "This shit is in full sunlight" haha
It's you. lol Get your mind out of the gutter
Nuh, can’t hear anything remotely like it I’m afraid. 😀
I love the way you make it seem so simple to just "give the effect of the detail".... I'm still struggling with it, but thanks to your videos I'm getting a bit better at summarizing the details; I think that at some point this all has to do with developing better observation powers, or rather, trying to see the details as part of a larger whole. Btw., I really LOVE this particular drawing!
Sounds like you’re well on the right track. All the best with it 😀
Hi Stephen, this video came in handy. I'm currently working on a comic and my issue is background art per panel. I learned a lot as always. Thank you
Great to hear. All the best with the comic panels. 😀
Did you think of drawing manga? Your drawings so good I can’t stop thinking it would be amazing in manga panels
Thanks. I didn’t even know what manga was until a couple of years ago - though I loved AstroBoy in the 1960s on TV when I was a kid. And then I really liked reading Superman comics as an older kid and young teen. But I must say I’ve been thrilled to discover how much my art has resonated with manga artists for their background work. Maybe it’s not too late to get a second job, eh?😉
@@stephentraversart I read Berserk manga right now, and I am very inspired by the work of Kentaro Miura. He was an astounding mangaka, maybe you will enjoy it too (though I must warn you this manga is very violent 😭).
I agree I think his work would look great in manga panels, it reminds me of Takehiko Inoue’s backgrounds in Vagabond with how detailed it is
