Drawing Exercise: Seeing the World Differently - Derwent XL Charcoal Demo

In today's lesson I am exploring a Drawing Exercise called: Seeing The World Differently.
In this excercise you play with scale, taking something very small or tiny and then drawing it as large as possible. The change of scale is really interesting and can take you into the world or abstraction.
The excerise was inspired by the book 100 Creative Drawing Ideas:

I was drawing this week using Derwent XL Charcoal - These are great fun:

Such a pleasure to watch, such an inspiring exercise. You’re a KZbin gem deserving of many more views. You’ve made three lovely drawings though yes the third, my favourite. I love that an exercise like this allows people, like me, who will never have the opportunity to go to art school to better understand its mystique

Your "monolith" Edd, looks to me like a giant that is emerging from the underworld!

I've watch four of your videos today....thank you very much for your continuation of producing teaching skills they are helping me understand terminology and techniques, I'm getting different terminology down better with being able to use these techniques and skills within my drawing exercise....I've watch alot of wc videos but i have to say your one of four that actually help me learn the basic concepts and skills i feel very grateful......😷🎨

Lol ... when you were reading from the painters written words I was like wow that painter went deep..lol... thanks for the bit of laugh at begining of class...really appreciate this video....really I guess it's how you look at your subject and are able to draw your peoples attention to your drawing....the first drawing reminded me of a riverbed that the river is low....second picture reminds me of a rock outcropping during a night stroll...I'm not seeing the popcorn...yes I do see body and head deft...its amazing how artist draw or paint something and others see something else...the mind is such a mysterious thing...🤔

When you said head I also see a starwars stormtrooper soilders who has fallen thru battle and was checking on his friend that was also fallen....

Thanks Marc - Yes I think when you draw forms in this way - It leaves room for interpretation. A bit like ink blots, or tea leaves, our minds make connections in a really personal way! - Thanks for watching.
