VIDEO DESCRIPTION
7 Basic Lines of drawing to practice to help establish a solid foundation for your drawing to progress

[@DelgadoMaritza]

I'm a competely begginner in drawing. I watched sooo many videos on youtube that got me nothing but frustration and discouragement. Went thru lots of nonsense lessons that taught me nothing. Wasted so many days practicing stuff that didnt make much sense. It seems their videos are more for showing off rather than teach. I was thinking of giving up until I found your video. Just one video and I feel so confident and motivated to continue. You are an awesome instructor who actually shows you care that we understand and learn. Your explanations and instructions are the best. God bless your talent. Thanks for the enlightening tutorials!

[@noent.4645]

Well done, in sharing this, and yourself with the world. Keep up the amazing work. Your an inspiration and a friend to many. 🏆👑🙏🏽

[@pattimaeda6097]

“Beginner” speller too😂

[@eonjustingeneral7073]

For those who know some of the 7 basic lines and not all; 1. Horizontal Lines - 2:10 2. Vertical Lines - 9:00 3. Perpendicular Lines - 14:45 4. Parallel lines - 20:03 5. Parallel Flowing Lines - 25:24 6. Center Lines - 27:16 7. Line of Axis 35:35

Can't tell you how much I appreciate this channel. Been drawing my whole life off and on, decided to pursue art as a tattoo artist. Even though I can draw ink paint color pencil marker digital etc. I still always find myself watching videos on fundamentals (they can never be too practiced) I just found this channel and no one explains things in the way you do for example the video on major and minor masses in shape/form being the dictator for how the shadows are supposed to be constructed. I can already use shadows for depth but that video completely shifted my mindset with it and improved my skill. Funny how the smallest perspective shift or slight increase in understanding at a deeper level can make you take leaps in skill.

[@ThisPageStaysREAL]

I really respect your work for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons being that its genuine in its goal and purpose without the need to include the obvious. Id say 90% or more videos that are labeled "tutorials or how to's" are nothing more than an artist looking to self promote by showing their work without a single word of instruction or explanation of anything. Just a video of them drawing. I've been drawing all my life and have learned many things over many years, but never considered imitation or mimicking another persons style a reason to consider that individual a teacher. As kids we try to copy an image and our talents are noticed at an early age by doing so, and as we learn more about conforming to reality in our artwork we improve. These so called tutorials that are anything but end up doing more harm than good in ways. So anyhow, fantastic videos thanks for the work you put into helping others. Peace

[@alphonsodunn]

No worries at all. Thanks so much and I totally understand where you're coming from

This is so true. I always wonder why they call them tutorial but they are not really tutoring ! So sad. I appreciate this video

[@wynfrithnichtwo8423]

Yeah those videos are irritating. I am searching for information and find nothing but nonsense, which in many cases have nothing to do with what I was looking for.

I can not believe how much my drawings have improved since learning about structure lines and going from simple shapes and ending with detailed drawings I always dreamed of being able to draw like this and it's now reality thank you for sharing your gift to the world!!!

[@MissImaBAMF]

I bought your book a few months ago (wonderful btw) and come back to your videos from time to time. I know this video is old, but I’m hoping you might still see this. This video has single-handedly revolutionized how I approach drawing. As you said, it’s simple stuff, but not everyone talks about it because of how simple it is. This really helped me and I’m really grateful for all your content!

[@andreaclarke9138]

My 6 year old daughter has just discovered your videos.And she's already hooked on watching; and hearing you tell us how to draw. She's even asking me some of tge stuff what they mean when you say them.

I know this is an older video , but I have to thank you for this. I feel a little foolish for not realizing this, but when drawing head and face in an angled position, I haven’t been maintaining a perpendicular relationship where the vertical and horizontal contour lines meet. I didn’t realize that regardless of the perspective, that 90 degree relationship is always maintained. It has been throwing off the placement of all the facial features. This really helped me. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Somethingsomethinglol]

its amazing how much the horizon line makes everything sit in space - i was wondering for a long time why my objects didnt seem to be in the same space

[@chernan8dez]

I finished an illustration degree last year and they didn't teach us how to draw, much like a fine art degree. We learnt how to think, develop concepts which are definitely valuable. However, most of us lacked the skills to bring them to their full potential. I'm glad you pointed out the ego barrier of thinking we're beyond learning the basic construction skills, i myself have been guilty of this. I had a few commissions which took longer because i had to learn the basics. It's unfortunate that most art college's don't provide this type of education. I've spent the greater part of this year going back to basics and it's had a huge effect already. Just requires a lot of patience but is totally worth it. Cheers man

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks so much! And you're right, its difficult to find programs that focus on the comprenhensive development of the artist, both conceptually and in terms of skill

[@chernan8dez]

Well put, do you know of any resources that focus on both? Would you consider doing a video on generating a concept and taking it from start to finish?

[@LightshamanaDhyana]

Years in art college didn't teach this. Now many years later I know why my drawing skills never reached its potential. Retired now, have plenty of time, start over. Never too late to have joy with drawing.

[@neel6978]

[@kaveetanair2811]

Thank you so so much for this video! As a "self-taught" artist, I live and learn through artists' videos! I never knew construction using lines is a process people use! I don't usually comment but I just want to say 5 years later from your posting date - I find this super useful !

[@terinatum]

Having you explain these lines together in one vid is "very important" to my art life. Thank you!

[@KillerPain98]

I really wish a lot more people would see this. It would probably help a lot of beginners to realize what's stopping them from progressing. As always, top notch quality video Mr. Dunn!

7 Basic Lines Important to use them as a guide, as reference, in the sense of drawing them in the abstract phase of a drawing. Using basic lines helps your drawings be structurally sound, regardless of the position things are in. You can use all 7 lines together, so each serves as a reference for the other. It’s important to be aware of all the lines and how they relate to each other. 1. Horizontal line: Establish grounding Place the horizon Align elements Create reference 2. Vertical lines Use horizontal and vertical reference lines as training wheels, doesn’t matter if this means that your drawing gets messy. (Realize when things are tilted, always visualize these lines even after taking your training wheels off) 3. Perpendicular lines 4. Parallel lines Draw boxes in 0 point perspective to train parallel lines 5. Parallel curved lines Important to maintain the consistency 6. Centerlines The centerline is in the center of the surface of an object, however from different perspectives this shifts and the centerline goes off center, although it is still in the center in the absolute sense of the object. When a form rotates, the centerline rotates as well. Drawing centerlines helps you imagine the position of things easily. It helps correctly align objects. 7. Line of Axis The line of axis passes through the structural center. Helps to determine the orientation, direction and position of a form, plus the relationship of its surface forms.

[@satanislavalemura6249]

you´re the best, honestly. finding your videos is like finding holy grail for anyone trying to improve or even start from scratch on their own. thank you! I got asked to teach some friends how to draw, and didn´t have any idea how I would go about that, and then I discovered you. gonna recommend you to them asap.

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much : )

Got the book here in Germany. Dude, one of the best art instruction Books there are. No 1-2-3 step instructions, no long texts without examples, and an author who has mastery of what he is teaching.

+Johannes Knop thanks so much for supporting it! I really appreciate that

[@susan2241]

This is the best drawing tutorial I’ve seen! I’m coming back to drawing after 30 years and your video has been a really thorough reintroduction to the lessons I learned in high school art class with much more detail and explanation. Just what I needed! I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos. Look forward to learning from you!

[@kevindouglas6120]

I like the way you explain yourself and it's entertaining to watch you draw.

[@N1ghtFlower]

This video really helped clearing out this topic for me in a way any other tutorial ever has. Thank you, so, so much, oh my god. I've honestly been making the same mistakes you mentioned, over and over again for SO long and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, and this is the first time someone explained in a way that made sense to me and it all just clicked. And it was so refreshing that you made all the 7 lines into one dinamic video, instead of making a one hour long video on just one subject, to the point it gets tiring and you end up more confused than when you began watching it. It all flowed so well and with such consistency. This video really helped me, thank you sooooo much, I really appreciate the effort you put in your videos! :) You're a great artist and I'm more than thankful for your channel!

You videos are much more explanatory, thank you for putting out this tutorial and please continue to do sir. Thanks so much!

Thank you, this has really helped me grasp some things that have felt so elusive in my art. Sometimes I was getting things right and sometimes not but I couldn't tell what needed correction. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Dude you are blowing me away. I'm a beginner at 73 so grasping things does not come easily as it did at 20. BUT; I'm persistent. I have and am still making the mistakes you outlined. It's only been a month so I am truly a newbie. I'm not going to be hard on myself for my lack of skill. This is an outstanding tutorial A+++. It will take quite awhile to digest and learn all this but; now I have a reference line. Absolutely the best tutorial I have seen so far and I have watched many, many. There are some great and generous artist on utube and I am thankful to you all.I will probably in next 6 months watch this 30 times at least. THANKS AGAIN

[@tasfa10]

you know what you could do? You should let us send you our drawings and then you'd make videos analysing the drawings and pointing out the mistakes and the solutions. Maybe redraw them with the correct technique. I'm certain lots of people would like to see you correct problems of proportion, perspective and light casting.

[@ems8717]

[@cameronrobinsonart]

I've been teaching myself how to draw for a decade nowadays besides a few books (well quite a few) I've learned everything I know from KZbin. If you can't get real face to face instruction KZbin is the best place to go. But over time I see the same topics covered again and again. Important topics, but the more advanced you get the more redundant some of the lessons become. Your lessons are some of the only ones that cover things I've never heard before. Every time I watch a video of yours it opens my eyes a little. This lesson, The Seven Basic Lines of Drawing, is one of those. I never thought of lines on this level and watching the video improved my artwork and how I place objects on the paper. You should almost patent the concept (no one owns art principles but the particular name and subject matter should belong to you). Thank you for showing your methods.

[@alphonsodunn]
