Learning to simplify scenes and objects can be valuable to improving your artwork, no matter what medium you work with. Starting your drawings and sketches off with simple shapes is crucial to the drawing process. It will also calm your mind and show you that you really can draw anything when you think about it. Using negative and positive shapes will be a big help to creating realistic sketches and drawings as you start to draw from life.

[@SJNaka101]

I was looking for a comment like this

[@Shindai]

I like this approach, it's more playful than I've had before. There's an art class local to me but the teacher really emphasises the realism, and I just wanna sketch roughly, I'm put off by endless shading and refining, I just wanna draw stuff well enough for people to recognise what I'm drawing. This feels a lot more open ended and less pressure to do it perfectly.

Books often aren't well written or maybe they are but having an example to work with is the real key; seeing it come to form is even better

[@jose_is]

Bro! You are a genius!! Thank you so much for this course. I learnt so fast with it and when I got sick, lost my job and almost died, it saved me. Thank you! Also, you taught me to see light in objects differently and painting just got easier with your teachings. This course is just great.

Thanks. Superb, confidence building and skilfully taught. Your positivity is so beautifully infectious.

[@MayanResearcher]

This will be a great series! Since I'm only a month and days into acrylic painting I realized I'm only painting from my minds eye. Drawing an object I'm looking at is all new to me. I wonder what percentage of artists paint from the mind vs. the eyes..? Proportions are next, great! Need those :-) Thanks Brandon.

[@LightBluly]

Drawing the face is my worst nightmare! I have draw 25 like papers and so far the face is still a problem. I am sort of good at drawing in 2D but not in 3D. I try my best but i am not giving up because my ambition is to become animator.

[@jeevanpritham7688]

if so make boruto episodes .👍👍

[@zeronothinghere9334]

Not sure whether he already did faces (Just started to watch) But IMO try to simplify things (as he said in this video) at first. Instead of a detailled nose, you might just want to draw the most distinguishing marks. Don't draw your own face, it's pretty hard, instead grab some random pictures from the almighty internet, maybe even facebook, look at their most distinguishing marks, and draw those. Marks you could pay attention to: headshape, especially chin Shape of the eyes, noseline, general direction of hair, eyebrow line, by extention hair direction mouthline, upperlips, lower lips, ears if you can see some, accessories and more Face proportions might also help you. The eyes are actually in the middle of our headshape, nose ends at 1/4 of headshape, mouth at 1/8, and if the mouth is resting, then where the corner of the mouth is, is there, where you should draw the eyes.

SpareBrains561 you can start animating now! It doesn't matter weither you're good or bad, basic cartoons can be a perfect base for a beginner in animating. You don't NEED to be amazing at art to be an animator. Just start animating where you are and both your animation and art will improve in time. Best of luck my friend :)

I've been planning and making my future Webcomic and this really helped me. Thank you for your video!

You are a great teacher! I'm not a beginner, but going back to basics is so helpful! Especially after not having drawn for a while. Thanks very much.

You have such a calm, soothing voice and manner about you. It's so very conducive to a relaxing way of learning.

I really like the simple assignments to build up to being able to draw something I’m interested in. I’m really trying to look at the world around me in basic shapes so I can draw something I’m proud of

I loved drawing when I was young. Decades later I'm drawing again, but starting from scratch. Thanks for your informative videos. They're simple to follow and give me encouragement to continue drawing as a senior.

Been really sad lately, have no hobbies at all, and wondered what happened and why I stopped drawing. Getting back into it slowly, thank you for these tutorials!

Going to look for shapes right now! Dance is shapes, letters are shapes, lines are shapes and loose pencil sketching.....amazing!
