Getting Great At Sketching 2024

[@zakidani21]

You were one of the first people I watched when I decided to take drawing seriously about 5 or 6 years ago. I still remember a video where you talked about starting with the basics-drawing rocks, clouds, and other elements of nature. That advice really stuck with me. Unfortunately, life got in the way, and I stopped drawing for a while. But now, I’ve decided to pick it back up because it’s the one hobby that truly makes me happy. It’s crazy how I stumbled across your path again just as the thought of returning to drawing crossed my mind-it feels like a sign to start fresh and keep going this time.

[@WalidFeghali]

Love to hear that! Fresh starts with art often brings new insights into drawing and painting. Keep it up!

[@redouanbnslm1052]

Are you Arab

[@neeevirus]

No uploads for 2 years and pops up out of nowhere... What a peculiar sight to see. I remember watching your how to paint rocks and snow guide back when I was a beginner in 2021. Those were the days. I didnt even understand masking back then so I couldnt get your snow tutorial, that and the whole concept of painting as a skill (I thought it was just coloring your drawings but I was SO wrong, the painter's mindset and approach was nothing like I assumed it was years ago and it still bewilders me to this day)

[@WalidFeghali]

Ah yes that video! Well, I’m back now for sure 😎 hope you stick around! W.

[@neeevirus]

@@WalidFeghali keep up the good stuff! It fuels my motivation to see peak art

[@sphvisualart352]

I remember your helpful and chill sketching tutorials. I have a kind of art block a year and a half now, but this makes me want to start again. Glad to have you back. Nice farm, by the way.

[@WalidFeghali]

Happy to hear this. A great time to get back into art. Thanks! W.

[@Skyteccx3]

Glad you are back. I bought you concept accelerator course and it's super helpful for me. I hope you keep doing KZbin though since I always loved your videos :) Your instructions are always nice. Loved the quick sketch videos of how you drew things in 10min aswell

[@WalidFeghali]

Happy to hear that Cindy, thanks so much

Welcome back Walid. Keep it up! ☺

[@WalidFeghali]

@@AkumaFes You got it! Cheers 🙌

[@thundersized]

I used the Pilot G-Tec C4 like you have for years but at some point it got to me because it was inconsistent. Most of the time it was going well, but sometimes there was barely any flow and other times it was bleeding. I switched to Uniball Signo DX 0.38, it draws exactly the same but much more consistent, went through maybe 12-15 pens yet and not a problem.

[@MegTorralba]

I love this tutorial. i've been having the case of fearing the blank sketchbook. But you make sketching look so easy. I'm totally inspired to just sketch away! I hope you could do more sketching videos...😃😃😃😃

[@WalidFeghali]

New to your channel. I enjoyed watching your sketching and listening to your advice. I just heard you say you have a farm in Norway. We saw "farms" on steep inclines in the fjords . Fascinating! I will search my pictures to use for sketching or wash & ink.

[@kenneth1767]

I'm trying to draw with pen only for the next year to hone the skill. I find pencil makes me lazy in shading. The challenge is getting all the lines to look like they belong to the same day. More pen tutorials on shading would be great. Thanks for inspiring video.

[@WalidFeghali]

That's really good, definitely do that. I'll also explain shading with a pen more, and show some techniques for various textures and materials. Cheers!

[@admc.3]

Thank you for the great video Walid! I love drawing, and the most fun part is when I sketch. I am not very good at drawing and I struggle at learning to draw. I love to draw very intuitively without thinking about perspective, form or rendering. But most art teachers say that you should learn and practice perspective, rendering etc. What is your stance on it?

[@WalidFeghali]

Most teachers are boring haha. I say go for it anyway. Sure, learning the fundamentals will absolutely elevate your skill and the drawings you make, but that comes naturally as well as you do it. In my courses and tutorials I like to emphasize practical, simplified exercises for the fundamentals. Stay tuned, I got a lot of cool stuff coming. Cheers! W.

Thank you so interesting

[@stefanb6539]

What I find puzzling in almost all sketching or drawing tutorials is, why everyone starts with taking a pic with the phone. Yes, I mean, being out and about, finding a place to sit and all is a hazzle, (or even worse getting used to draw standing) but isn't there something essential lost by turning yourself basically into a human filter app for amateur snapshots? You basically decide the composition, the frame and perspective the moment your finger touches the button, and you reduce the lighting and atmosphere to the tiny ray that hits the lense. If taking pictures has become the natural first step to sketching, shouldn't all turorials then start with how to take good pictures? I mean, just as an experiment, chose a thing in your room, which you can comfortably watch as long as you please without having to go out into the public and draw it, then take a picture of the thing, use the picture as a reference and draw that, and compare the results. (Sorry, I don't want to be a downer, I am just in a strange mood)

[@WalidFeghali]

@@stefanb6539 Hi, the homework at the end of the video is to look around your room or environment and sketch, without a photo. I just took the photos to make it easy to see the reference I’m drawing from. Thanks!

[@atheransari8038]

Good video

[@ProGrokertInternasional]

what is the name of this kind of painting technique?

[@WalidFeghali]

I call it sketching with ink! W.

[@seamagician7042]

Ive got all the fundamentals and im really quick at drawing almost anything in front of me. Im struggling with imagination. Im over thinking angles and mixing things up or get stuck overthinking how something should connect dispite having drawn that conection several times before. Anh advice ?

[@WalidFeghali]

@seamagician7042 That's a very common thing to experience. The antidote to that are studies. Basically drawing things that build up your visual library. Once you've drawn a lot of, for example, orcs or animals, you know how things connect, and can exaggerate certain elements, how to take inspiration from something you've already drawn before. I'll talk about this in a future video.

[@seamagician7042]

@WalidFeghali I guess I've not done enough then. I've done so many drawing of people over the last year and I still get stuck. Thanks for your reply

[@WalidFeghali]

@@seamagician7042 In that case, try drawing it even when you don't know what it is you're drawing. Break through that resistance to having to know what to draw. See if that helps, trust the process.

[@seamagician7042]

@WalidFeghali alright. Thank you. I'm really worried. I've finally found what I'd like to do with my life. Spent 3 years working after collage since I didn't know what I want to do. I'm wanting to do game art but I don't have an A level in art. They said they can take other factors into consideration but id need a portfolio. Just not sure that just straight copying into other mediums would be enough 🤔

[@andrewcutting391]

looks like a bed or sofa in that structure. is it a just place to lie down outdoors and still be outside?

[@WalidFeghali]

Yes, we call it "vindskydd" in Swedish, or "gapahauk" in Norwegian. It's basically a wind shelter, can sleep there, etc. Lots are strewn across the landscapes in the wild for people to stay in for free while out.

@@kyststudio-epicartadventure yes but starting with harder or softer than what I suggest just isn’t necessary. I found using 6H or 8B just was too difficult as a beginner. Thanks for your comment! W.

[@cirovallone889]

[@Acrimonious_Snake]

Sketching is too broad a term. You need to differentiate between observational drawing and drawing from imagination. Videos like this have caused me a lot of confusion in the past and pushed me in many wrong directions. Ultimately, practicing for the sake of practicing, without a specific goal in mind, only leads to stress and a lot of wasted time.

[@WalidFeghali]

You're definitely right about practicing without a goal or direction can be frustrating, but I mention a lot of things to practice, specific topics to pick, and the approach to choose things that inspire you. Practicing many various fun topics and ideas that you enjoy is what brings you the most progress because it becomes fun!
