Wow! never knew learning drawing could be so fun! PS. I am 36 years old and I hated drawing all my life but, I always loved creating/building things. But, always lacked the skills to create something from scratch. Thanks for posting such wonderful tutorials. Wish I had a mentor like you when I was younger :)

I think another great analogy for the whole process of ghosted lines is liking it to doing a backflip. There is the planning phase where you learn about the steps needed to perform the backflip; then there is the preparation phase where you learn to jump at the right height and to tuck your legs into your chest for the flip; then there is the execution phase when you put it all together without any hesitation. It has to be one smooth motion, there can't be any pause and things can't be done slowly, or it just doesn't work. You gotta commit to the flip and see it through!

One thing I noticed that really helps me is, after I make the dots and ghost, I look only at the final point and let my arm connect one point to the other. Sometimes if I'm way off my brain autocorrects, creating a slight bit of wobble near the end, but generally this makes my points way more accurate and confident. Otherwise, if I just watch my line being created, they always end up a bit off where I'm trying to go. Hope this helps someone also having this issue!

The trick to this one is holding your nerve and eliminating the touch of anxiety that comes with actually executing the line. So you are not ghosting like 3-2-1 go! but simply doing four or five equally important lines the last one just happens to have the pen touching the paper. Otherwise you'll find that you are ghosting the line fine but doing something else entirely when you put pen to paper. Breathe!

If you haven't yet, I think it would be helpful to add that wobbly lines can also happen if you aren't drawing quickly enough. On the website, you say that the lines are wobbly because you're hesitating. I got very frustrated for a bit, because I was trying very hard to let go, and not care about accuracy, and only drawing confidently, but my lines were still wobbly. I realised it was because I was drawing too slowly. If I close my eyes and draw a line, slowly without any hesitation, or fear of it being incorrect, it still has quite a few wobbles on it. If I speed it up a bit, the wobbles go away. Also, drawing slower makes it easier to sub-consciously hesitate or try to correct the line, even if you're telling yourself that the line should be consistent.
@Uncomfortable
@Uncomfortable 2 жыл бұрын
That's honestly something I specifically avoid saying - which is why you'll have noticed a distinct absence of reference to speed. Reason being, while 'draw faster' is indeed a good way to avoid hesitation right now (because it doesn't give your brain the opportunity to hesitate), it is merely a starting point. From there, as we progress, we have opportunities to actually pull back on that speed as we get more and more comfortable with the idea of drawing *confidently* - something that can be done at faster and slower speeds, so long as we can control our brain's desire to steer the line as we draw. As a student pushes through the lessons and gets more mileage with the use of the ghosting method, what improves overall is their control of their choices and actions, but I have found in the past when students have "draw fast" baked into their minds, they find it very difficult to break away from that later on. So, instead I specifically use the terminology of "confidence" and "hesitation" - which do have connotations of faster and slower, but without being so tightly bound to them.

@Uncomfortable
@Uncomfortable Ай бұрын
While that can be helpful early on, there are several downsides to it. While that doesn't always mean it's something you should avoid (something can be useful initially, and later have to be unlearned), this is probably one you don't want to rely upon, as it's going to damage your fineliners' tips, causing their ink flow to worsen way sooner. It will also cause you to take longer in getting used to developing a more nuanced level of pressure control. Ultimately your lines are going to wobble a little right now, but keep focusing on executing your marks as confidently as you can, and pushing away that worry over making mistakes and being inaccurate.

Joke's on you, drawing lines in every direction has been my main warm-up exercise for quite some time now... so much so that turning the page to favour an angle feels kinda alien, even though I will admit that some angles are more comfortable than others. Maybe I'll have to unlearn a bit, to be less rigid? That aside, ghosting blew my mind, thank you. Prior to learning about ghosting, I'd practice certain difficult lines on a separate portion of the page or a different page before executing them on the main drawing. Feels like a whole new world has just opened up.

The way you talk about markmaking reminds me a little about how Meti's Sword Manual, a text from the webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons, talks about cutting. It has quotes such as: "You must strive for attachment-non-attachment when cutting. Your cut must be sticky and resolute. A weak, listless cut is a despicable thing. But you must also not cling to your action, or its result. Clinging is the great error of men." "To cut properly, you must continually self-annihilate when cutting. Your hand must become a hand that is cutting, your body a body that is cutting, your mind, a mind that is cutting. You must instantaneously destroy your fake pre-present self. It is a useless hanger on." "You must never make 'multiple' cuts. Each must be singular in its beauty, no matter how many precede it."

@Uncomfortable
@Uncomfortable Жыл бұрын
While the direction doesn't matter one way or the other, it's actually not really a problem if you can't see where your hand's going. That's because you're not meant to be steering your hand with your eyes, but rather relying on the planning/preparation from the initial two phases, and only pushing through to execute the planned stroke with confidence. The execution phase should not involve any exertion of control, just follow-through.

There's a lot of factors that could be at play here. The biggest one I'd consider is whether your paper is intended for ink, or whether you're drawing on paper meant more for mixed media, or graphite, or that sort of thing. That kind of paper tends to have more tooth/texture to it, and will absorb a lot more ink while potentially making the marks appear more dry and faded. We recommend printer paper because it's cheap, generally available, and designed for ink. The angle at which you draw with the pen (in terms of how upright it is) can also be something to look at. All fineliners perform better and allow for better flow when more upright, although the threshold where it starts to result in faded/partial strokes varies from brand to brand. And lastly, pressure control is important - while I'm not sure if this is the case for you as you've mentioned using fineliners before, it's very normal for those getting started with the tool to be too aggressive with their pressure simply because they don't yet have as nuanced a control over how much pressure they apply as they eventually will. This results in them pressing those tips into the page much harder, which flattens them out, impedes ink flow, and then further causes the student to grind their tip into the page trying to get that ink to flow right.

It definitely helps, even when working on a tablet, but remember that this course is designed less as a series of "tips and tricks" for you to use in your own work, and more as a comprehensive curriculum geared towards building good habits and developing your core skills. Part of that is doing the work on paper in ink, and another part of that is how the ghosting method stresses breaking the process of markmaking into distinct steps that we go through mindfully, and patiently, with every mark we draw.

To answer your question, no. Your only focus should be on giving each exercise as much time as it requires to do the best of your current ability. If that means spreading a single exercise across multiple days, then that's what you gotta do. You should be taking breaks as needed as well.

How each student paces themselves will depend entirely on their own situation. Listening to your mind and body (in terms of taking breaks when you get tired, and spreading it all out so you can focus on what you're doing at your best) is how we determine whether we're pacing ourselves properly. It is perfectly fine to do multiple exercises in a single day, but if you get tired or find that you're not focusing as well as you could, taking a break is always a good idea. Conversely, forcing yourself to keep going and pushing through that exhaustion would go against what was laid out in Lesson 0.

This exercise/homework introduces the technique, but as you're going to be using it throughout this course for every mark you freehand, you'll steadily get better at it. So it's perfectly okay to be overshooting right now - just keep working at improving on that point, but don't stop yourself from moving forwards through the material.

I grip between my thumb and middle finger, at the shallowest angle where a fineliner will still make a mark (45-60 degrees depending on the brand)

That is completely normal. Just remember - everything we do in this course is an exercise, and it's in our exercises that we are *expected* to make mistakes. So, mistakes will happen. It's guaranteed. What's important, however, is that you take control of your actions. The second your pen touches that page, you're committed - if you choose to execute with confidence, trusting in the planning and preparation you've already done, you will at least be able to guarantee yourself a smooth stroke, even if it goes off its intended path.

the whole "your brain does not know what a straight line is" part sounds like pure torture because i think i have this problem and the thing your sugesting i should do is like an 100 iq thing. No really wtf man.

Hahaha, honestly when you think down to what we're learning here and how we go about it - it's all on that level, where we're trying to rewire the basic functionality of how our brain engages with these kinds of motions. Translating the intent of what kind of mark we wish to make, to how our brain understands intuitively how to execute it. One thing about your comment gave me a good laugh though - 100 on the IQ scale is supposed to represent the average, with above 100 being above average and below 100 being below average :P

The pen you see me using in this video is one that we were selling through the Drawabox website, but we've stopped selling them for the time being as we focus our efforts on creating our own branded pens. So the pen in this video isn't currently available. For brands that are generally widely available, I usually go with the Staedtler Pigment Liner 0.5mm.
