Drawing Rivendell From My Perspective

Technically it's a pen my dude.. xD

[@SideBurns]

I like the fact this comment blew up, and gets passive aggressive replies 😂

[@easyDoes1T85]

“And my unsolicited advice”

[@Shoob-k5u]

Beautiful! And ty for the encouragement about photo reference, I get self conscious about it sometimes

[@lukebarela]

Thank you! I’m glad to help

[@Lemonado_here]

You shouldn’t be worried abt using references, they’re there for a reason😝 Unless you take credit🤔

[@BakedDoves]

A lot of artists use reference, Alex Ross for example (He’s a big deal in comics if you know).

[@LoachAo]

Same dude, every non artist in my life inadvertently shames me for it lol. Like they'll be very obviously less impressed with my work if I mention references so it killed my enthusiasm because I felt like it was cheating... but I'm working on fixing my attitude towards a very normal tool

[@PawsleyDirt]

@@LoachAohaters gonna hate. Give them a photo reference and they will probably still create something that looks like child drew it. Keep on pushing!

[@hippyman4565]

"Skill" doesn't do his drawing ability justice. I have no words to describe the beauty that just came from that pen.

[@lukebarela]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@trppstar]

Lol, it’s skill for sure.

[@downtownnikka]

I think it does. There’s a difference between “Skill” and “Talent” This is a skilled artist, gaining ability through repetition and countless hours of work. Talent, you’re just born with it. Hard work beats talent 100% of the time.

[@nneka_stay]

​@@downtownnikkaI don't think you quite understood his comment

[@kiwo579]

@@downtownnikkai think people confuse talent as something youre born with rather than something you have a knack for, if youre born with the ability to visualize shapes, colors, and lines together it still takes a ton of work and practice to hone that into anything worthwhile, idk i just think its unhealthy to suggest that anybody would be able to become a good artist without thousands of pages of dogshit ykwim

[@DangerNoodleReads]

They way he just goes straight in with pen is both terrifying and beautiful

[@lukebarela]

Haha, thank you! I’m often terrified too, since I don’t know if it’ll turn out good or not, until I finish the drawing

[@davedfw814]

well he's obviously not a Pro...but it would have looked better if he'd done a proper prelim / learned how to draw. Edit; lol even with a thousand sock-puppet accounts liking yourself you're still wrong

[@objectjon9015]

I love the texturing being used for the trees and the hair, how things are separated

[@lukebarela]

Thank you!

[@MollyHJohns]

This is what AI can never replicate. And this is why I love sketches or drawings on the rawest forms, created straight from the tips of an artist's fingers. They are the images of your soul, formed into thoughts of what you believe in. There is no tier of ratings that can judge this masterpiece as there is nothing wrong about what you believe in, and as one of the lucky (if late) witness, I love your art as it is. Thank you for this short clip.

[@stars_of_destiny]

I hope they don’t take mine though I just started drawing 💀

[@evelynvongizycki1017]

Enjoy the start of the drawing. You will never be starting or new again to drawing. Sometimes I just let go and it’s unbelievable how people respond to some other things that I draw even though I famously always say that I can’t draw.

[@stars_of_destiny]

@@evelynvongizycki1017 wow. Okay :)

[@kritikagupta5582]

I can’t explain how much this comment means to me, (though it was not for me as per say), I have been feeling stressed about this AI technology and how much people are leaning towards it.

[@MollyHJohns]

@@stars_of_destiny don't post them online then. Problem solved!

[@chicken]

Ink drawings are so impressive, I wish I had that skill! It's amazing to see art created without a sketch, truly inspiring.

[@EEEEEEEE]

[@AjharHussain-tr2ir]

its never too late to learn something new! If you want to, then you shall start off practicing ink drawings right away!! :D

[@tinybed]

why did this make me get tears in my eyes 😭

[@janysalinas6838]

Such a beautiful illustration!! It looks like Bilbo's perspective, drawing/cataloguing the council

[@rickkroll]

This is so beautiful. It reminds me of old illustrations. Hope youre having a nice day!

[@lukebarela]

Thank you! I hope you have a nice day too!

[@swiatowidciesslak6249]

"They don't draw old illustrations anymore. Only new ones." ;-P

[@brianurlacher6387]

So true!! When the artist points out the "mistakes" I can't even see them usually. I'm too busy being mesmerized by the heart and soul of it all

[@lighter412]

Art is the best ways of learning to "trust the process"

[@jeziscrust5793]

Drawings in straight pen will never not fascinate me. It's such an amazing talent to behold.

[@classicidiot2255]

Seeing an artist drawing without a base makes me realize how much I lack in practice

[@lukebarela]

It’s all part of the process of learning! knowing how to draw with a base first is essential to being able to draw from memory alone

[@GuillotineQuene]

This was a beautiful way to stumble onto your work. Breath taking. BRAVA! 💋👌💕💕💕

[@lukebarela]

Thank you very much!

[@lolk7726]

this is beautiful, i never thought about drawing something from 1st perspective

[@Rampage-ip4yv]

[@sadealleyne2374]

Omg the sharpie on a saran wrap over top a drawing or glass with wet erase is an amazing idea

[@rosebishop5755]

Never thought to use boxes for organic shapes in perspective before that seems like a really nifty trick I'll have to try

[@widojay2048]

I would love to read the book with more of these drawings.

[@pixelmace1423]

By Gandalf’s beard thats one awesome drawing!

[@genbank6326]

Thank you for the inspiration. As a beginner, perspectives are still a struggle for me. I tried the simplification of complex figures with boxes and worked my way through. It took a while but i was surprised that it looked decent. 😊

[@lukebarela]

That’s great! And that’s the way I learned too, just drawing simple forms like boxes from different angles

[@seanmorgan2356]

I've always been of the opinion, It's the imperfections that truly makes it art.

[@Livingoncoffee-vo4mg]

The drawing is gorgeous, thanks for the advice

[@blackandwhiteguy4264]

Truly an amazing art and artist

[@AnakinSkywalker-xr1th]

This is always the kind of art I've wanted to do. Draw what I see in my mind, espeically from the books i love. Thank you for this video, honestly. I've had really bad artist block for like 3 years now. It's crippled a party of my soul.

[@lukebarela]

Well, I hope you can get back to creating what you love with art. It’s not going to be easy, but I wish you the best!

[@mSTRMNDi]

just the music is enough for me to immediately want to watch them again
