How I Learned to Draw from Imagination: Drawing with Form

[@Zarzar22]

Just started doing some form practice because I realized I was suffering from a lack of fundamentals. Your lines are so damn clean man, will try this out today!

[@michaelo.4986]

This line confidence is insane

[@zefdraws]

@@michaelo.4986 thanks a lot. I appreciate this

[@itsmeloart]

Your pen control is masterful. Great stuff!

[@zefdraws]

Cheers man!

[@DefNotYa]

you really are inspiring

[@jaysadler2476]

Great video, I've been doing these exercises for 2 days and I already feel more at ease with drawing/thinking in 3D and manipulating forms. Can't wait to have more coming! My goal is to make a comic, so these skills are a huge help.

[@zefdraws]

Glad these have been helping. Keep up the work

[@Stoney_NoStrat]

Took a look. Seems like you're putting your channel together again. Good luck. You've got some insane hand control. Im at level one right now just trying to keep my hand from shaking when i make a line. I'll get done with a sheet of lines and realize I'm squeezing the heck out of my pencil. Dexterity has just never had to be a focus in my life.

[@angelabenson1329]

Thank you for sharing. I just recently experienced lack of knowledge with form and it resulted in a lot of erasing and repositioning. This video and some practice will really help to get the form and lines correct.

[@ngantrinh6189]

Just downloaed your handout and it is wonderful. The only problem is I couldn't do the exercises due to my limited skills. It'd be great if you provide the possible answers to the exercise. Thank you!

[@ArtBudsTube]

Excellent work man ! Love the handout!!!!

[@zefdraws]

@@ArtBudsTube Much appreciated bro!

[@NN-fz4pd]

Wow immediately subbed. I’m def gonna try this because drawing from imagination is my weak point. Thanks man

[@zefdraws]

That's great and thanks for joining us, you're welcome

[@PrinceMath]

awesome video. I've seen this recommended as an exercise before on another video (by Marc Brunet), and I've always wanted to see someone else do it. Glad your video popped up in my recommendation p.s: that is some astounding pen control

[@cringeypopsicle589]

[@bodleyhihou]

I feel like it's really fun once it becomes an habit, Imma try it for sure!! It seems like a really efficient exercice! 🧘🏾✨️ ( btw, I love your work )

[@zefdraws]

@@bodleyhihou It really is. Sometimes I find myself doing these idly just because it's relaxing. Also thanks! Means a lot

[@orkatelura2965]

Really liked your video, subbed! This came exactly in time, as I recently discovered Kim Jung Gi and wanted to get better at drawing. Thank you!

[@Nugget111uh1]

2:50 Extrusion, addition and subtraction? Those are actually 3d modelling techniques on computers as well! You wouldn't happen to be looking into using Blender or something along the lines, would you?

[@zefdraws]

@@Nugget111uh1 haha I used to model in blender but this was like 10+ years ago before it was so complicated 😅

[@Nugget111uh1]

@@zefdraws I was gonna say "wait, Blender's complicated now?" Until I realized that the reason that I view it as easier is because of the UI and UX changes, and that yes actually it has a ton of new stuff. Dang 😅

[@WedgyBlue]

I subbed and wow this is amazing i need this thank you for sharing!

Good to see you bro

[@insectas]

good stuff. keep it up!

[@y.s.o]

Man i miss you🥰

[@hero-1o894]

I would say wat is working for me currently, is that i copy the line art of something but i imagine every line before i lay it, try to even imagine multiple lines and compare the shape it produces to the reference, try to memorise it, and lay it, i can still get it wrong, but its getting slowly better, i compare the angel of the lines to the corners of the paper as well, which ever is closest, i dont think u can imagine a drawing entirly as a begginer its easier to start with just lines and shapes, once u commit the face shape for example to mind u can imagine it on paper instead of just single lines.

[@nuffen]

Very fun excercise :D

[@bluechiste1970]

Amazing

[@ethereal7328]

Your voice and obviously skintone remember me of ergojosh but if he drew traditionally and fused with kim jung ji. Hope that wasn't rude.

[@zefdraws]

Totally understand. 😂

[@PrimsJournal]

hey man! saw your prints, - amazing by the way! are those paint medium?

[@zefdraws]

@@PrimsJournal Thanks man, they were done digitally

[@MarshMakesComics]

What are all the crosses and arrows for?

[@zefdraws]

@@MarshMakesComics If I draw a cross on a plane its simply for showing the orientation of the plane. If I was to imagine a box around the whole volume I'd use those arrows to guide how I draw the bottom and side planes. It's just helpful for me personally. The arrows are to show the direction that the 2d shape has been extruded to create the final volume.

[@afraid2losebalance303]

Are you talking while drawing or were the talk and the drawing recorded seperately ?

[@AnzumanaTaal]

what pen are you using?

@@maxwellgraves635 😅 That's good, if its hard then it could mean you're learning.

[@J4sit0]

hey bro! very good video, it helped me a lot :), by any chance could you give me a "tutorial" video on KZbin or a much more exhaustive guide? I would love to be able to buy your course... but I am a minor, and I don't have the resources :( Even so, I hope I can support you by giving you my subscription and like! greetings from 🇨🇱 ❤

really valuable stuff man, thank you for sharing🫶
