[@StefanHelldoerfer]

Das ist eines der schönsten Zeichnungen die ich jemals gesehen habe , Chapeau ! Danke sehr fürs zeigen :)

[@thatsalligot2say]

thank you so much for posting this. It was easy to follow, love the scenery

[@marywhaley4675]

Beautiful, beautiful. Simply beautiful. Sometimes less really is more.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Mary, I agree sometimes less is more!

[@dicegem]

Wonderful! Great techniques, soothing voice...thank you sir !

[@edzejandehaan9265]

I like the idea of usuing the woodless pencils to make graphite powder. Have some lying around, not very much used, this is a very good way to finally do something with them. Also nice drawing.

[@davidmcgrath9581]

WOW! this is the first time seeing your chanel, pure genius.

[@petea1uk]

Beautiful. Just found your channel and of course I subscribed. There’s a lot of learning to be had here. Thank you.

[@rehanmehdi2966]

hi I'm Rehan n after watching ur video I want to say that u r a very very very brilliant artist n my innovation is that may god preserves u a lot of success in ur work so do be 👌👍👏

[@rosewheeler7354]

It’s a beautiful drawing, you make it look easy.

[@jerzyk1293]

Simple but charming as always. I learned a lot from your previous tutorials on how to use graphite powder but it is good to return from time to time to your master's advice. I love your misty lanscapes and always looking forward to another one. Greetings Smoothie :)

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks very much Jerzy, I'm sure I will often return to the graphite powder method, is so much fun to do :)

[@edwill62]

Finally well enough to watch some vids and trying to catch up with so many....and this made my day....amazing Smoothie....you never cease to amaze

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Hi E Will, sorry to hear you haven't been well, glad to see you're better! i was wondering where you were, I'm pleased you're back with us again my friend, and thank you for the kind words.

[@markbrookes7641]

Beautiful what make of pencils do you use mine don’t smudge like yours

[@willieboy8798]

very nice work....im going to try this technique with color pencil! bravo....

[@margaretbrownhill1193]

Between all the entertaining this weekend I have managed to snatch the time to watch the step by step real time videos of this on patreon. I have to say it's taken away my fear of doing anything with the graphite powder technique, they never seemed to go right for me before but you have made it so much easier to understand and follow. I will definitely be doing this it's the sort of scene I love and I hope I can do it justice. The video before that on how to draw generic trees will also be so helpful for any picture but this one as well. I'm thinking pizza trees lol I will never look at one in the same way again. The best thing that ever happened for me was discovering your channel and joining you on patreon I am learning so much

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks very much Margaret, I'm sure this one will go well for you, graphite powder technique is deceptively easy, it works on any type of paper, and great fun to do, but like everything it takes some getting use to, but that wont take long.

[@lvbailey1]

Came during a “block,” reminding me that your previous videos encouraged me to start drawing again, and to delight in the process as well. Thanks! (Eager to try the W&N xtra smooth bristol...using Strathmore 500 plate)

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

I'm pleased this video inspired you again, the graphite powder technique is great to help you over a block and get the creativity flowing again.

[@helengill5481]

Wow so simple but looks so hard, love your videos :)

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks so much 😊

[@MonicaBFeijo-de3vw]

Excelent reference for a beginner. Loved it! I was thinking abot using charcoal instead of grafite, though I like both. Thanks for the video!

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thank you Monica, charcoal will work for this too.

[@sketchartphoto8117]

i want to walk down that path. great work as always and thanks for sharing.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Me too! :) thanks for the comment.

[@ajeet797]

Definitely gonna try it

[@aestheticbaal7390]

Thanks for your Professionalism!

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

That's very kind of you, thank you, I'm sure I'm not professional though :)

[@ladyshadow79]

What a great tutorial. I can see why the Amazing Dave Usher is such a fan of yours.. Thanks for sharing.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'm a fan of the amazing Dave usher too, we are both friends, Dave's a really nice guy!

[@one_more_turn]

Hi, just wondering whether the eraser pen you use is worth the high price in comparison to the battery operated Derwent eraser pens that are more like 5 pound? Not sure what the difference is?

[@Teequinn77]

Hey what kind of pencil are you using to make the river I’m trying to use a gianshan permanent color 001 white , and it’s not working

[@TheArtGearGuide]

Unbelievable Smoothie mate, I was just thinking last night that I hadn't seen a video from my good friend Smoothie in a while so I checked out your channel and noticed that you put a couple up lately but KZbin doesn't always notify. About an hour or so later because I looked on your site at about Midnight give or take, this video pops up, so I was over the moon. As always my friend an absolutely amazing tutorial and beautiful picture. I'll definitely be supporting you mate on Patreon after Christmas because your work is more than worth the money. I just have 3 kids who have left the Santa thing behind them now so we can't tell them Santas helpers had flu and couldn't make a particularly expensive unrealistic gift 😂😂😂. All the best mate and talk to you soon.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Hey Harry how are you my friend? I'm pleased you liked the video, I know what you mean about the santa thing, all those years of getting away with it lol, sounds like its going to be an expensive one for you this year mate :) take care my friend.

[@cherylb36]

Stunning

[@Vic101able]

This was awesome to watch, it open my eyes to a new approach that l never considered before, thank you so much.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

You're welcome Vic, thanks for commenting.

[@aesmero]

Smoothie, is the white pencil you're using a white colored pencil or an eraser?

[@ThrowerThrower]

Fantastic work! You offer so much value on your channel. Thank you, sir - it is much appreciated!

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thank you too for your kind words, its a very kind thoughtful comment:)

[@janmay6455]

After doing this drawing is it possible to go in with some water colour? Patreon starting day is just a few hours away!

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

If its done on watercolour paper it should be ok.

[@janmay6455]

smoothie77 thankyou my lovely... I’m in Tasmania and just LOVE all your tutorials

[@ajeet797]

Speechless..........🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐

[@thomaskybe5993]

Hello smothie77 Again another great tutorial from your right hand, and as before I´ll give this one a try. One question.....that metal pencil extender you use (looks like a special pen...), where do you buy it? Best regards Thomas, Denmark

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thank you Thomas, the pencil extender is a Staedtler, here's a link to where you can get them, amzn.to/2zwpijB

[@maxkez83]

Very good. Really like this drawing. Just wondered if you had a link the white pencil. I know is not a white pencil 👍🏻

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Karl, I only have a link for Amazon UK, amzn.to/2rXw8sd for some reason there aren't any on Amazon USA.

[@maxkez83]

[@izakpolman6280]

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thank you Izak, and you're welcome, its a pleasure to share my work with you all.

[@oscarlopez1463]

Hi Smoothie! How are you? I've just become one of your patrons and I wonder if I can see those four videos for this drawing there. I can't find them. Sorry I haven't had the time to explore everything you have there, so if you have time for some indications. Fantastic stuff. I'm very excited. Thanks for your great work. Best regards

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Hi Oscar, and welcome, you will find those videos in the "beginners" section, if you go to the "posts" page, then look on the left, you will see a margin that says "tags" look there and you will see the tag called "beginners" the videos for this are there, you may need to scroll down a bit to get to them, if you need anymore help, please feel free to ask.

[@oscarlopez1463]

Thanks to you Smoothie, for your quick answer and for your great work helping so many drawing learners. I'm starting to explore your patreon website this weekend. Step by step, of course. Best regards and thanks again. Cheers

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

You're welcome Oscar, its a pleasure to have you as a patreon member, thanks so much for joining, i appreciate it very much.

[@sijoalex5951]

great, learned a lot, also subbed to your channel, do you think art is more about practice than skill? i know to shade somewhat but i never get the shape of the tree branches and the texture of it right......:(

[@lindab.2795]

Can graphite powder from a bottle be used for this method? Thank you.

[@ck1829]

Man, you have really nice tutorials, god dammn 👀👀👀👀👀 just subscribed!~

[@robsmith9190]

[@trishtran9800]

What is the orange pencil you use at the beginning?

[@stevebuk100]

Would love to see you use pastel pencils smoothie, would suit your style..

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

I do have pastel pencils, for some reason I don't enjoy using them, maybe I should give them another try...

[@alpersevdin9296]

hey smoothie, that is fairly easy and yet super cool drawing! I loved the drawing but can you give me full list of your tools since my english is not my native i really did not understand few thıngs such as waterless pencil? what exactly is that :D also ı dıd not understand how you did that powder, whıch pencıl you used? Or is that another way to buy such thing? If you can help ı would really lıke ıt. One last thing, is there any personal channel of you to ask some tips and advice ? I need some guiding... In any case thanks a lot...

[@jpwartist]

Hi smoothie, just wondering if you have tried the new Derwent Precision mechanical pencil yet and your thoughts?

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

I was exited to hear they had brought a mechanical pencil out, but i still haven't got around to buying yet lol, when i do i will share my thoughts and opinions about it in a youtube video, have you tried them?

[@jpwartist]

smoothie77 yeah i bought the HB one. Nice heavy mechanical pencil that feels quality. Good value for money.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks for that, i will certainly be getting one soon.

[@kylefuller7131]

An absolutely perfect beginner video for your style! I've tried several times to join your Patriot page and can't do it.? Is the site particularly difficult to join or an I an idiot? Can you offer any help?

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Hi Virginia, sorry to hear you can't get on Patreon, of course i can help you with this, let me know whats going on when you try to sign up and I will advise...

[@sharonneedlesfreedomsnotfr813]

great technique w the powder laydown;)

[@kellymartin8090]

I signed up at your Patreon page, but cannot locate this video. It would be great to know where to find this and avoid having to scroll through every project until I find it. Can you help with that? Thanks.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Hi, If you go to the "posts" page you will see "tags" on the left side margine, look through those tags until you see "beginners" you will find it in that section, its about 2 or 3 pages down, so not too far to scroll, if you need anymore help please ask.

[@imgentleman4312]

Amazing !!!! thanks bro for this video

[@LinekeLijn]

Another great tutorial Smoothie!! The effect is just stunning and the mist effect makes it look realy "autumny" (.... is that a good word for it? :O ) I loved it and I totally gonna give it a try ^.^ All the love from "Automny" Holland - your friend Lineke

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Hi Lineke, yes "autumny" is a great word for it :) I'm sure you will do a great job of drawing this, its definitely got that freehand & free flowing "Lineke style" to it, so I'm sure you will have fun with this one, all the love from (at the moment) a windy UK :D

[@LinekeLijn]

Thank you Smoothie and I think this drawing is perfect to try out my new................ Pan Pastels!!! Went to the shop yesterday and bought me 12 to start and see weather I like it ... I will let you know when it does ^.^ (from a dark cloudy and almost starting to rain Holland)

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

I watched a few pan pastel videos it looks very interesting, it would be good to try for this drawing, I look forward to seeing your work with them Lineke (as always) :)

[@ladyiris77]

I like autumny. Sounds much better than fallish.

Your artwork is really amazing. Too bad I can't follow this tutorial because I rest my hand on the paper when I draw, haha.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks, use a paper towel under your hand this will stop smudging.

[@jammer523691aj]

Thank you, I'll definitely try that!
