Drawing with Simple Sighting Technique

[@tiaamdunord7817]

I have to do this every day in my art class and I’m ready to throw my chair out the window

[@1950622]

I'll help u with that

[@zod5966]

Then you will have to do this every day while standing.

[@thatdelreycult]

Throw mine too :')

I just attended a sketching class last night and the instructor was trying to describe what you just demonstrated. Thank you for providing this detailed walk-through. This helps a great deal.

[@wendykiesewetter5752]

I think I sort of understand this now!! I used to be so confused by measuring & stuff, but seeing it in first person and how you also measure your drawing makes a lot more sense to me. Thank you!

[@sherierenne8882]

I'm always sharing this with my beginner HS drawing student but this is the first video I have found that helps them see first person. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this!

[@DigiMyst]

Very helpful, I'd been confused for the longest time on how to measure accurately. Thanks a lot!

[@ghwl00]

hi are u still alive

[@tobysay8320]

Sad im doing this at 1 am cus i am behind and failing on art

[@alexbrocca1]

me too :;((((((((((((

[@kyokosquid7434]

I feel this

[@cha.ser1]

...Man I am in the exact same boat at the moment

[@paranorai]

thank you very much for posting this in first person view! i never got that technique in drawing class, but you explained it very simple and this helped me a lot :)

[@aviiamo]

I really love the way you explained this to us! Thank you very much.

[@vanemartinezz]

Seriously this video has saved me! I've never understood how to you the sighting stick but this has helped SO much!

[@remynisce33]

Omg Ryan Reynolds is teaching art 😆

[@jinwoo78]

@@ITALEEZA The producer of the video sounds like Ryan Reynolds.

[@MidoToMi]

Oh my gosh, you’re right he does sound like him 😭

[@MelissaPrichard]

Thanks for filming this for the perspective of the person drawing. This will make things so clear for my students!

[@chasealvarez5209]

thank you for posting a video of this technique, sometimes I couldn't quite grasp the concept.

[@MLyonArt]

I started Drawing and Comp 2 this week. It's been years since I took 1. The teacher said something along the lines of everyone remembering how to draw by sighting from Drawing and Comp 1. I was like, Uuuuuhhhh. So, thank you for posting this! It's pretty common sense once I see it. I've been drawing for years and never used this technique. I'm sure my teacher will expect to see me using it so this is helpful! P.S. I could swear I was listening to Ryan Reynolds here. Deadpool.

[@Redzircon]

Fabulous and clear exposition, thanks

[@tinkywinkysatonawall]

Thank you for this tutorial! It was incredibly helpful and informative.

[@rhyannonp8231]

have you made a video on more complex measuring, like measuring things that sit backwards and have angles ?... something that would make you measure more than just straight across

[@Hyukfied]

Thank you. I just learned this in drawing class but I couldn't get what the professor mean. His teaching method is not compatible with the way I learn. I thought we just measure with the pencil and draw exactly that on the paper but it seems I was wrong. hahaa I get it now! Thank you again!

[@j.allison5514]

This is so hard to teach. Thank you for this excellent video!

[@lmillspa]

Thanks! best intro I have seen

[@AviationCaptain]

This is how many times he said “gourd” ⬇️

[@violetsme6960]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[@DawepMe]

Thanks, man. You just helped me a lot!

[@anaujahnelson7247]

learning this now in my drawing class and you really helped solidify this technique for me, thank you!

[@West-rk7dz]

You should have mentioned that you need to close one eye while you are holding your arm out to measure but other than that this is a helpful video

[@BluemazeWesley]

Great video. I do think that it’s easier to measure across the vertical access of the gourd and not parallel to the ground. It would emphasize the angle of the gourd based on the vertical access and what would be a perpendicular reference.

[@shenlaw]

Should a beginner always take a vertical as well as horizontal sighting?

[@artwhat..]

I liked the way you explain that, so the key I guess is to just sketch a shape first,thanks.. I also realized if I multiply my measurements, I can make a ghord as big as a house..ha..

[@sherifwahba4653]

Thank you for this tutorial, would you please show how to measure using triangulation technique? Thanks in advance! :)

[@liveforlife2494]

I'm self-taught on drawing and learned sighting way after I started drawing. Although I did learn of the technique, I never really incorporated it into my technique and now that I'm taking an actual drawing course, I had some questions about sighting that your video helped clarify. Thank you so much!

[@vnixz]

Same here :)

[@selfiopath1982]

Now I got it! Thank you so much!

[@Cascadia2011]

Super, super helpful -Thank you

[@dripwithdai9637]

this really helped me a lot

[@sendlocation8476]

@ CHRIS TRINER Yes sighting with a pencil is easy when the measurements are either 1/2, 1/3, 1/4. But what about if its a different fraction. How do you work this out accurately on pencil? it’s so hard. Any tips?

[@fabihakhan4593]

Thank you so much for making this video❤❤😭

[@doverstarch8416]

[@sendlocation8476]

How do I know if my pencil is going over by half or 1/3 accurately. I always struggle with measuring sizes that have 1/3 etc . Any tips

[@naterinehart2142]

Video starts at 2:18

[@anthonymonterosso7472]

This makes no sense to me. I have to make a proportion box using ratios and I have no idea how people come up with the numbers to get that ratio.

[@veroniquemcmurray8417]

Insightful

[@nightshift4587]

Thank you.

[@mulanli2918]

One. AND A HALF!!!

[@mulanli2918]

My teacher showed this to me in class. I died of laughter no offense. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
