DRAWING 4 Times QUICKER! How the SIZE of your Drawing AFFECTS the TIME it Takes to Complete!

I talk about how the size of your drawing and how that affects the time it takes you to complete it,
when you double the size of your drawing it increases the work you need to do by a factor of 4, this can be a problem, especially with Photorealism and Hyperrealism portraits art, as they already require a lot of time to complete them.

This does make sense in theory, but it is so much harder to do detail and get good quality on smaller drawings

[@Neeyellowart]

It works for me, maybe it might be harder, but I rather take on a challenge then spend 4 times longer on a portrait just because its easier 😊

[@memegods7204]

I wish i knew this when i was a biggener cause one thing is knowing how much time you should spend on a drawing and also knowing that the more details depends on the size

[@CreativeArt1999]

Thank you ☺️....But I think it's difficult to draw outlines and details when we try to draw smaller drawings 🤔

[@Neeyellowart]

I would disagree, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, I might make a video on the subject to explain why 😊 😊

[@Djmack1992]

As a digital artist I've found that starting small for sketching and concepting significantly decreases the amount of time necessary to achieve a suitable level of detail, obviously. But then taking that low resolution sketch that has already defined form and volume, increasing the size of the canvas, then drawing over it with greater fidelity takes significantly less time than simply "Going for it" as one large canvas. Traditional artists will often do the same thing by sketching thumbnails (usually 1x1 inches or about 3x3 cm boxes) then using that thumbnail as a guide to quickly render in a better drawing on a separate piece of paper. This is all fairly obvious to most experienced artists but I figured new or aspiring artists might enjoy this breakdown.

[@stuteacher12]

Plato demonstrates this same lesson in his dialogue called Meno. In it, Socrates shows an uneducated, slave boy how to double the area of a square. The boy makes the same mistake of doubling both sides until instructed to draw a line across the diagonal. An important lesson.

[@katiem4935]

This is such a great explanation, makes a lot of sense - I'm really enjoying your content, thank you!🙌

[@calebbelmonte5326]

Not always the case because the smaller the drawing, the smaller the area where you'll have to squeeze in the details. And sometimes it takes more hours to finish smaller drawings because of how difficult and tricky they are. I agree that deciding the size of the drawing is very important. But I also just want to share what I learned from doing microportraits. I've been doing microportraits a lot recently.

Are these actual approximate times for how long it takes you to draw portraits at those sizes or are you just using arbitrary numbers in order to simplify the point you're trying to make?

Pls Make a video on making outline . Because when I draw outline with a mechanical pencil and shade on it with colors I can still see the mark of the mechanical pencil .pleaseee tell me a solution for this

[@Neeyellowart]

I will be happy to, I think you are pressing to hard, maybe? Use a HB pencil and use a more loser grip on your pencil, or try dulling the tip of your pencil down, so it dose not have to much of a sharp point and finally if none of them work try a different type of paper and see if that helps 😊

[@savithasheshadri3060]

Thanks a lot

[@miscellaneousstuff1155]

Mmmmm, not convinced. Theory is sound but it definitely wouldn’t take me 4x longer to draw and shade a realistic apple just because the dimensions are 4x greater.

0:52. You didn't double it, you quadrupled it. You are talking about area, the smaller square has 1/4 the size of the larger square.

I said if you double the length of the drawing from 10cm to 20cm what actually happens is it increase the surface area by 4, I mention this in the video a few times, the videos propose was to point out a that very fact you mentions in your comment 🙂
