The Secret to Creating Depth in Your Drawings

In this video, learn how to give your drawings depth and dimension for a more realistic and professional look. These techniques will take your art to the next level! This will be a raw look into how I sketch but more specifically, how I achieve depth and dimension with shading techniques and varying line weight. There's no speaking, and no editing. It's just the sound of my pencil and an occasional cough (there is one point where I paused it to take a break and forgot to push record again so I was drawing for 10 minutes on pause).
Drawing is a skill that most people wish they could do but they immediately put themselves in the category of "Oh, I could never do that." I want to take this time and welcome you to my channel: Draw Sessions.
I've been drawing all my life and have had the privilege of working both for AAA game studios and also movies. I have taught foundation drawing at the University of Cincinnati and it's time now to give back. I understand the frustrations of learning art in general but specifically, drawing. My channel is dedicated in helping absolute beginners, intermediate artists, and industry veterans - all wanting to improve their drawing skills.

Hello everyone. Thank you for stopping by and watching my video. I encourage you to check out other lessons I have posted if you want to get better at drawing. Check out our Creature Design Workshop Discord and join the community! The link is in the description. P.S. I cough a few times during the video and it might startle you. I didn't edit it out in order to keep the session as raw as possible.

What make me go crazy is the fact that you took one hour to do this masterpeace, and for me to do a thing lime this but uglyer took me 6 hours 😂. Grate job Bob.

[@nadiaa8357]

Omg same

[@playalot86]

It took him years to be able to do that in an hour. Stay strong homies!

[@frankseymour4162]

Your detailing and imagination are breathtaking. Amazing drawing. I love watching something alive come out of a blank piece of paper with just a pencil.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jaredbingham2218]

I'm so glade that you made an hour video! It's cool to see the process and the raw footage as it's happening even if the coughs making me jump 😂

You're very welcome!

[@toobad41]

Thank you sir, for such an informative KZbin site. I’ve been painting primarily in watercolor it rarely do thumbnail sketches such as you do. Also I rarely do anything like you do as fantasy drawings. I look forward to doing some of that. I am in my 8 th decade of life but always enjoy concepts like what you are presenting…. Where were you 50 years ago?

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

You are very welcome

Hello! Can you do a video on longer fur and the longer feathers and how to texture/shade them!

[@seonseo_drawing]

멋지군요!!!

[@frostwindsgaming8645]

You think you could do a video about Fiber end pens ? You did a ballpoint recently but i'd like to get your perspective on Fibers ends !

[@mateusz2185]

Do you have a vision and a plan of what to draw or does it often come out during drawing?

[@tiagostein4057]

Lol I have been tryign to practice everythign I see in your channel, but my creatures end up looking like cure pokemons 😅

[@obamaatemybanana1415]

Hello :) Just wanted to ask, if you or someone who is reading this, could recommend a good book or ebook for learning how to draw those demonic creatures... im currently studying technical industrial design, but i need something else to draw, that keeps me interested... and those drawings of you are just stunning! At the moment i dont think it would be worth it to go to your workshop, so i want to work for myself until i feel like i can take profit from it :)

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Thanks. As a fellow industrial designer myself, I'm well aware of the need to draw horrific stuff. As far as books and stuff goes, anything from Terryl Whitlatch is great as well as "art of..." books for popular games and movies.

[@obamaatemybanana1415]

What kind of pencil it is

[@justmatt1164]

You only use one pen only sir?

[@givemysword]

What crayon do you use to get that deep dark ?

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

It's a 4B pencil. If I want to go super dark, I use a black Prismacolor.

Hi I’ve been with you for a VERY long time and it’s so awesome to see you draw some of the best sketches I’ve ever seen. Great work, love the stuff and I really look up to you. I also really am looking forward to seeing you draw more creatures and monsters.

[@rona7566]

Hello, thank you so much. I really enjoyed it. I particularly love videos like this, unedited and raw. Not speaking makes us more attentive to what's happening. It's truly amazing to see the drawing come to life. Thanks a lot again 🤍🤍🤍🙏

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

You are so welcome!

[@АлександрКолесников-п7ж]

Очень хорошая работа.

[@humaminho]

I wonder how many years of practice did it take to be this good

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

About 40 years.

[@pedroaboffa]

amazing !!!!

[@pinkdolphine9757]

Hey did you use a photo reference for this ?

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

No. However, that just comes with years of drawing creatures and obsessing about dinosaurs.
