10 Quick Drawing Tips

[@reneehughes7860]

My father was talented painter & as a kid I would draw using family pictures. I was teased and I quit. My son grew up to be an artist and life got in my way. Now at the age of 61yo I'm picking up my tools again for my own pleasure. I did put my talents towards colors and being creative with sewing, jewelry making, etc. Thank you for the encouraging tips and an excellent tutorial.

[@jrapprentice]

I was told i couldn’t draw by an art teacher when i was thirteen and stupidly believed him and gave up.. I decided to give it another go at age 70 and with the help of Matt and others i am making progress. Good luck to you in your efforts. It is never too late.

[@jrapprentice]

@Hola_Amiga :D Thanks for asking. slowly but surely. Preparing a big move at the moment so little being done but in the new house I get my own studio. Everything comes to he who waits.

[@manthasagittarius1]

Oh, that was so exciting to read! I love this instructor. He's a solid artist with a really wonderful range of skills and to my mind he's one of those who understand and practice teaching as an art as well. So how did that work space turn out? Are you enjoying your work and growing as an artist?✨🤗✨

More tips 1, enjoy it, After all it is our hobby. 2, follow along you tube tutorials, these help. 3, show your family as you go, ask them what they think, but ask them to be honest and point out where you might have something wrong...sometimes we concentrate so much that our eyes go tired,so they may see what we don't. 4, use your phone! You can spend 30,40,50 or more hours on your drawing, based on tip 3, at the end of my drawing session, I take a photo of my work so I can look at it the following day. I guarantee you will see things that you was happy with the previous day but dislike from the photo, you can then correct it on your next session. 5, as in the video, don't just look but observe. The opening line of a book I read started " if you draw it wrong it's because you haven't observed it long enough" . 6, don't be afraid to use tools outside of the art world, ie, q-tips are great for blending/shading. 7,further to tip 3, listen to people who are critical of your drawing and ask them why they don't like it, you will learn more from them rather that the 99% who politely say "Oh that's good"....but never take it to heart! Hope these extra tips help any of you, happy drawing all.

I've seen videos that last 24 minutes on Drawing Tips and I learned more in the seven minutes than I did in those longer ones, where the visual artist doesn't really know how to teach to draw. They just can and are making a KZbin video. Tip #2 and Tip #9 were my favorite. At times, I feel bad about having to use a reference, but when I don't the subject I'm drawing is not representative of the real world in a way I think it should be, even for cartoon illustrations I use a reference. Tip 9 is great too because I have a tendency to draw a tight, almost perfect line, then erase. Then repeat, erase. Drawing loosely is faster and gives you more confidence.

[@amelleclassical7326]

1. Drawing is a skill - need to learn 2. At least 50% observation 3. Use Resources - use photo take, references, etc 4. Find basic shapes 5. Use full range of value (dark brightly) 6. Use line quality (thicker or thinner lines) 7. Use same drawing style for entire pic 8. Know your medium 9. Loosen up a little - try multiple thin lines to find correct one 10. Practice, practice, practice!!!

[@mattwalter5184]

Clif Notes for us impatient folks. Thank you.

[@delrosariojrivans.8543]

Drawing is like math. Simplify, cancel and solve or any principle with creating. Everything has it's own fundamentals

[@AngelaKyePasiongreen]

That moment he said, "If you could write your name then you can draw." People tell me I draw well but my handwriting is bad. o-o

[@CherryBlossom-dw4ke]

same

[@skeletoninadress]

Jim Bob my handwriting has gotten worse since my drawing has gotten better.

[@AngelaKyePasiongreen]

skeletoninadress Exactly! Isn't it weird?! 😂 Although, somehow in the future you would treat handwriting as art as well and I think you would do great at it 😊

[@skeletoninadress]

Jim Bob Ha ha, true. like calligraphy I guess, it's just another skill you have to practice to perfect.

[@supermark7075]

Jim Bob same with me

[@LisaB_12204]

OMG...Love the graphics sprinkled throughout this video.....especially the 'look-for-shapes........brilliant!!!!

[@NYtalk60]

Thank you. When my son was 3 he used any medium available to him, my wall, my books, etc. 😂

[@mrteachinca]

These are excellent general tips for those of us beginning to see how far we can go in drawing or sketching. I appreciate your making your points easy to understand and interesting to hear. Now, if I can just motivate myself to do tip number ten enough, I will surely be able to draw well enough to impress myself and, perhaps, some other people too. Thank you for a great video!

[@asobeLive]

Good Summary! I really enjoy your tutorials and always look forward to them. Also, you are so right about line quality. I am so lazy with sketches. lol

[@markoartist5273]

You good Matt! Your classes have great amounts of theory. Thanks!

[@dibujandocondelein1509]

thank you, great tips, i am going to try and loosen a little my lines when I'm drawing , i have a hard time with that and i don't know why?

[@gaylesiegel7641]

I have a hard time too...has to do with control...

[@levigoth2550]

I love ur turtoraisl and lessons you are amazing at drawing I love drawing and look at lots of things to draw sometimes I spend like 3 hours on something but it doesn’t turn out good at the end I love challenges I sometimes get depressed when I draw but I love drawing alot

[@roullavaggas7493]

Excellent,thank you for sharing

[@doodoopoo]

People say I am good at drawing, but I don't really know why I'm good at it. I didn't practice, I just started drawing well for some reason, and THAT made me practice.

[@zaincrescent1841]

thank you so much for all your easy to understand tutorails and all the drawing tips

[@MrPogi-lf5gz]

[@manny6551]

dra-wing.

[@manuabraham1936]

Sergio Miranda i get it

[@garthtimmins2852]

I've hear Brits pronounce it like "drawer-ing" Gives me a chuckle every time.

[@WilliamParmley]

This was very helpful! I think my greatest weakness is observation. I "think" I know what an object looks like and try to draw it, and then am discouraged that it doesn't look right. Sort of like, "I've seen lots of trees, surely I can draw one from memory." Nope!

[@mohabala]

You are great .I really love and like your picture .you are my master.your drawing inspired me.I am very thankful to you.I am an indian for that I haven't any chance to see you.thank you sir

[@archanaaggarwal2064]

[@kantasoni7870]

Very worth learning 🎉

[@elahejalili7877]

Thank you! It was amazing top! ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@anniecarroll8010]

I find a picture on the net, measure it, take a picture of it and then multiply it to fit my surface.. I measure feet, ears distance between eyes etc. It takes a while but when I am through I know my subject.

[@suel4269]

thank you!

[@wiser4]

thank you from the bottom of my Heart :)

[@toniak9201]

Fantastic thank you! :-D

[@racheln8563]

When I was in college, I was in a constant battle with my instructor over my drawing style. I was dissatisfied because I didn’t draw realistically enough, while she kept insisting that my drawing was OK the way it was. If everything is OK, how do I learn?

[@gulraizghosia]

Thank you sir

[@yusrahasan2488]

I can draw well, but I suck at coloring

[@christreanor6637]

Hi, I feel your pain, although to be honest I'm either too lazy or to scared to venture into colour. However, can I recommend a great you tuber that does very good informative videos and she is awesome. Please check out Kirsty partridge.....good luck with your drawing 👍

[@sukikazuki1358]

I can color and do can shading though shading/coloring realistically is a challenge for me

[@marjieblackblue4059]

I suck both xD

[@troylarsen3615]

some of those helped so much

[@satuspw3247]

um hey what products should i buy for drawing what do you recommend

[@stillkush5105]

It actually depends on what you're comfortable with! Good luck then :D

[@satuspw3247]

ok but what about youre things so just tell me what and ill preview it

[@stillkush5105]

Ok, but first please tell me what art you're actually making... Rendering, Sketching, Coloring, Realism, etc. So that I can find out what I can recommend you to start off with...

[@satuspw3247]

um how about sketching and using for final outlining and also a good eraser

[@mehrynali157]

perfect

His accent is great.

[@frankblangeard8865]

My guess is either North Carolina or South Carolina.

[@ChrisR_68]

Frank Blangeard yep, he is in that area, North I think :)

[@azalea1404]

Yes, it's interesting for a non-native speaker (I'm Danish) to listen to Matt and Ashley. They don't pronounce the diphthongs. Apparently a distinct feature of that dialect.

[@muhammadzainuddin2443]

thanks for tip, now ican draw much more better and more fast 50%

Draw the answers on the paper....

[@bdaybro]

frick yeah matt

[@mikesteinbach5594]

I think the 'w' in "drawing" is silent.

[@rrabbix]

Depends where you're from. :)

[@auntyangie33]

Love the way he says drawing.

[@richardzapatero3209]

"Are you not entertained" haha

[@whaisbsbakzh7158]

Thanks Gale from breaking bad

[@tantaluss68]

Lol I'm so number 1 I so feel I have no natural artistic talent

[@MzTeeLadee]

Love your video and all the great tips! Thank you! May I give you one? The word is "DRAW-ING" and correct pronunciation is shown in the dictionary definition you had on screen. The word "draw" rhymes with raw, flaw, jaw, paw... It's okay! we're all human! I'll continue to watch & listen to your videos. Thanks again!

[@thevirtualinstructor]

Hi Utahna, Thanks for your comment. I am very aware of how the word is pronounced. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but people from different regions of the world may speak differently from you.

[@frentelli]

Tykkää jos oot suomalainen

[@vagg0065]

am i the only who cant draw? no videos nor practicing helps me what am i supposed to do so i can draw lol?

[@rosadimarco2840]

reeee

[@beforethebigbang892]

I dont agree with tip no 7. Having different style in a drawing can give personality to the drawing.

[@theinquisition_]
