Quickly Draw a HOUSE Landscape Tree like Ted Kautzky

Thanks for this. Great work and you are well in control of TK's wonderful technique! I have been familiar with TK since I did architecture in Dublin during the early 70's. I love the way he uses the pencil more like a paint brush than a line drafting tool. Recently I got a copy of his book 'Pencil Broadsides' which I treasure. Interestingly in the book I have he advocates using an ordinary round lead pencil sharpened to an oval at an angle, whereas you use a carpenter's pencil; interesting! I wonder how you came by the idea of the carpenter's? Good idea, I'm going to try it! Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about TK techniques with me. I was looking for large pencil to help fill in large areas quickly so I tried some carpenter pencils. It gave me more smoother tone for large areas with biggest strokes i can find. Brands of Carpenter pencils may have different grades of softness or darkness too. Please let me know what you think after you try it!

Great work! Kautzky was great. What books do you recommend to learn broad stroke pencil drawing. I have the Ted Kautzky Pencil Book & Ernest Watson course in pencil drawing.

Thanks, I had several pencil videos posted in my channel. Some are more complicated with more shades and shadows. I learned architecture delineation back when I was at college in Bangkok- Thailand, and Ted Kautzky is a great examples how to generate quickly drawing with large flat tip or board stroke to cover large area. I use carpenter pencil with smooth tones. I really like how Ted use depth and distance to describe surface. Foreground in dark shadow, it became tradition for most architectural renderings. Any book of Ted are great to learned from but I want u to also think why he did that and it looks beautifully finished in shorter time than traditional pencil drawings. I only have one of his book "Way with watercolor" it has b&w watercolor to compare volumes with pencil.
