For all the times you said you probably shouldn't have done something... you sure show your experience and talent on this one! Love it!

[@SchaeferArt]

Haha thank you 😊

[@jesusemmanuelbeniteznogued8056]

i played rdr2 and i fell in love with the sketches in the journal, and your videos helped me to start. thank you, i love your videos

[@diggascryptoawarenessdownu7246]

Very nice, subtle contrasts on the darker paper works well. I am concentrating on realism now and loving it, so I will be following for more tips. I sketch from scratch without reference lines all of the time as it's just how I grew up doing it. Happy Days and God Bless my friend 😉

[@bio-plasmictoad5311]

Same, I don't do any underpainting when I paint as well, I like to get straight in to it. I wouldn't do that though if I was a beginner.

[@SchaeferArt]

Thanks for tuning in! Much appreciated. Hope the drawing goes well 😊

[@kbowler9266]

This is a really great lesson. Always using a reference picture helps so much. Some where early on I got the idea to only learn anatomy, shapes and proportions and it didn't teach me how to draw real people. Quick sketches keep me from over thinking what I'm looking at too. I got a table out to have with me so when I see something i like i can stop and do some sketching. I spent almost 2 hours a few days ago on some pictures i found. Your really making me think about and want to do good drawing again. Thank you

[@SchaeferArt]

Glad to hear you’re enjoying yourself 😊 hope it all goes well.

[@ngocthaodrawing]

This is amazing.

[@spacegrim5504]

Hi! I am loving these little classes! I'm drawing everyday and really enjoying your videos! I do have to tell you when you start with a 2B pencil....I can't see what your doing. Its to light for us to see. Also, I found your tree painting and I'm doing it, but I can't find your drawing titled "Woods". You have inspired me BIG TIME! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@SchaeferArt]

Glad to hear :) And your point about my pencil being too light to see - I understand. But to be honest, it also shows how people should be starting a drawing. Make it light and easy to change. Many people start out too dark and committing too much, too early.

[@jenniferaboufadle9527]

Lovely drawing and your commentary is also good and helpful

[@SchaeferArt]

Glad to hear 😊

[@henriquejanuario881]

Sooo good.

[@SchaeferArt]

Much appreciated!

[@taefajohnson5113]

💙🧡💛 Love it

[@SchaeferArt]

Thank you 😊

[@gabemedel4518]

The sharper the pencil, the sharper the drawing! You should definitely make it habit to keep your tools sharp. It’ll make the process of putting the graphite down much more controlled.

[@SchaeferArt]

I do usually. I sharpen with a razor blade.

[@sheena832]

Wow wish I could draw like that 😱😱

[@fenilli]

you can, drawing is just practice and study just like learning to write, actually drawing is just like writing, but complex "letters".

[@bio-plasmictoad5311]

Like the other person said, you can with practice, even better if you have a teacher. Some people just have more natural talent than other's. Someone who's put the time in and been taught well can actually be better than someone who's naturally talented, talent will only get you so far, you still need to put the work in.

[@SchaeferArt]

What everyone else said 😊

[@jean-jacquesbauduin9379]

Thanks .

[@SchaeferArt]

For sure :)

[@anthonytorres1555]

Sorry man I’ve been slacking on the views , I got the toned paper booklet and white chalk bout 3 months ago and it is reaaally fun . Definitely can practice with value with this combo. Love the sketch! Don’t know why you only used an HB tho.

[@beauc.diamond7410]

Have you read the art spirit by Robert Henri? Do you know any other books like that?

[@SchaeferArt]

I think I’ve read some of it but unfortunately I do not know of any others.

[@RobertF-]

If you look at Sargent's sketches, he blocked in drawings with a combination of straight lines and simple ovals and curves in an intuitive and loose way. He didn't use a very strict system of straight lines like a Bargue drawing. The Bargue like systems of straight lines is very good, but one has to be careful not to get too stiff and orthodox in using it. I don't know if you ever read Harold Speed's book called The Practice and Science of Drawing, but you would definitely find it interesting.

[@SchaeferArt]

I agree. I can draw most things without the straight line bargue method but I think it’s a good method to do for a long while before drawing like Sargent. And most folks watching these videos are beginners so I want to show a good method for learning. He learned the method as well. I believe I have a pdf if that book, I will check it out 😊

[@arlenehutchinson9259]

Hey you are losing a lot of likes and views and a lot more. I noticed it cause the video series you uploaded "Learn how to draw" Had a lot more comments and likes. Wonder why people stop
