Brandon these videos are great. I’m a soft pastel artist that have never gotten any lessons or guidance. I’ve never even kept a sketch book, but recently decided to just start drawing and leave the pastels for a little a bit and really focus on drawing which I’ve never done. Anyways, this video just made me realize that the reason why the few paintings I’ve made with soft pastels all look cartoonish is because I paint with too much hard edges. Thank you.

[@elixir2130]

Really glad I found your videos Brandon! I am an artist who is working with a couple of friends who want to explore drawing. Your short and direct videos explain things I was having a problem putting words to. Thank you and keep up the great work.....we are tuned in!

[@kaluagrace9077]

Love your art videos. It's simple, basic and inspiring. I have always had problems with drawing fingers, hands..so I end up boxing up the hand drawings and fading them out into oblivion. Thank you for sharing your skills with us all. Aloha..

[@ElgranJulai]

I love your videos. You talk in a very calm way and is easy to follow the explanations. I would love to learn more about drawing people's bodies and faces and then express myself drawing experiences when interacting with people. Also you seem to have a very kind nature. Thanks .

[@SchaeferArt]

Thanks for the feedback and kind words. Much appreciated 😊

[@mariaestelaleduc9418]

I started doing watercolors during the Pandemic and gradually I realized that I started the wrong way. I need to learn how to draw first to do my sketches and your videos are great: easy to understand and to practice. Thank you. I'll keep on following you.

[@betteschanafelt5745]

I’m a beginner. I would love to learn to draw people’s faces. Thank you so much for the series of art lessons

[@TheSunshinefee]

Thank you. I'm guilty of making all edges the same. I would love to see a video on how to sketch people who are in motion and on gesture drawing.

[@TheKarstrasse]

Hey, thanks for the great video. As a beginner, I believe you are teaching me right. You have episodes from basics to advanced and I am really enjoying it.

[@moniKphoto]

thank you for your videos. I am trying to paint a water Lilly that is mostly white and soft pink, reflected in dark water, so I decided that I first have to master drawing it. Proportions and shading are challenging. so if you can help. Its my challenge right now, I know I have to try and try until I get it. Then the painting will flow. Cheers.

[@josieannbernard638]

Thanks a lot Brandon for your information. You simplify things so easily, it really makes your videos very interesting.

[@brintobabu8027]

I am interested in people, like drawing portraits... Quick ones... I love to impress people in the parks and all.. Do we have tutorials for that?... Anyway love ur work

[@marlenemeek9030]

Hello... Just wanted you to know that your videos have been extremely helpful. I started a local oil painting group and quickly realized most of the artists on board we're painting from photographs. My guess is over 90% of the work we see online has been done using some form of technology. I would like to see more videos on drawing and painting from life. Thank you.

[@SchaeferArt]

Thank you and glad to hear :)

[@marka9200]

I am interested in all of the above... but I truly love urbanscapes... a scene of people walking in Paris with the Eiffel tower in the background - or a coastal Mediterranean town - with boats and people and coastal homes... i love old warship seascapes that I would love to tackle, as well as portraits... I would love to paint portraits of my family, and famous people, etc...

[@sarahberry5264]

Great teaching. Really make me feel I can have a go. Thank you.

[@SchaeferArt]

You can do it!

[@briank9058]

Hi Brandon, I am studying garden design, which unfortunately seems to be predominantly CAD drawings. However, I much prefer the look of hand drawn sketched designs and therein lies the problem, my drawing skills. I'm really drawn to your style teaching sketching, you give very clear and practical advice. If you could do something along those lines of landscape drawing I would really appreciate it. Either way, love the tutorials, keep up the good work.

[@kaheemwashington3159]

My end goal would be to learn how to draw abstract figures, but I'm more focused on figure drawing at the moment. I just started learning through your videos. Any help would be appreciated. And thank you for sharing your talent.

[@wildcard749]

your quick little sketch looks really good, im trying to learn to draw so i can communicate some other creative ideas i have, im grateful for you sharing your knowledge

[@RJ-rc7df]

I got excited to draw because of your videos. I kinda get lazy to draw before. Thank you!

[@zohebthambi]

Loving your videos !!! Very helpful. I tried drawing a person before but it seemed rather flat. Going to try your advise and try with 2b pencil. Keeping it simple and clean.

[@puppy2674]

i am a novice in sketching but in coming future i would like to draw some portraits. And i must say you are a great teacher

This series is helping me tremendously!! Thank you for taking the time to do this!!!

[@iversondescartin3948]

Great videos man. I really enjoy drawing and I would very much like to improve my art. I like drawing all kinds of stuff but I prefer to draw people even though I don't know much about it yet. Landscapes too, I like them

[@LittleBargainNook]

I’m most interested in drawing animals like cats and dogs, portraits of peoples faces and I’d also love to draw landscapes like the trees in the fall. One thing I struggle with are eyes. One day I’d love to learn to paint but sketching is my fave! Thanks!

[@TheNaiya2006]

I personally like your approach of short focused general drawing/art concepts. I want to be able to draw many different things so I find your approach helpful....but saying that I will mention I get overwhelmed by landscapes and cannot imagine drawing a forest setting for example.....current interests include water, clear glass, drapery, clouds,rocks and trees and the techniques that are involved.

[@acbacb3428]

Hiya, I'm not sure if you would even still look at comments on these pages however, I have just started learning draw. Your videos have been my first step in trying. They are excellent, I'm not sure how good my progress is just yet. I soldier on. I'm live by the sea and therefore my desire is really to be able to draw a beautiful dress sea scape. I'm still only using lead pencils but am having trouble bringing the page to life. There isn't a great deal of content - maybe a few birds and a couple of small fishing boats. Any guidance would be great. Thank you

[@faozillayuzakki1794]

Hello, thank you for the tutorial. I just started to pratice sketching and your video is very helpful.

[@dreamland2556]

Hey, can you do a little on pencil drawing people and their faces, and where should start that? Also the same question about drawing nature with a pencil. where do you start? Thanks a lot for the super informative videos!

[@danmitchell3758]

landscapes. I am in AK. lots of lakes mountains streams vistas. Once you have covered concepts do you have video that would show you modeling the concepts / how you think aloud as you compose a drawing

[@klofto212]

My thoughts exactly, if you draw fantastical things in a more realistic style, surely people will find them even more impressive, because they are more believable :) Looking forward to see your work!

[@Nepafarius]

Look up repeating patterns if you haven't yet. Scales and croc leather

Hi Brandon. I want to draw fictional creatures, or anything related to fiction or science-fiction, like dragons and Transformers. What suggestions can you give me to accomplish that? Thank you!

[@SchaeferArt]

That's a great questions. I'm not sure to be honest. I don't draw fiction too much at all. I would still study things from real life, as most fiction like dragons and such are still based on reality. As far as structure and other things. Use a lot of reference photos and mix and match them and create your own creatures from those. Combine real animals together and make something new. Mayeb that's a good way to practice and use references before going from your head only. That's a big mistake.

[@ll-jm9gf]

[@NancyLynn]

Wow, I can't believe you sketched that portrait of yourself in 15 minutes.....absolutely brilliant Brandon!!! So, I'm assuming that when you say "values" that it refers to "shading"? I'd like to see a video on how to figure out where shading goes on a focal point (focal point could be anything. Oh, and Brandon, I feel very privileged that a true artist is giving us his valuable time to help out beginners. Not only are you giving us invaluable lessons on how to draw, but your encouragement is overwhelming to me. You make me feel like I can do it and no one has ever been able to do that for me before. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Brandon!

[@aloneinatx4869]

Brandon, I am over 55 and learning to draw from your videos, they are great! I never thought I would be able to draw a hand and I drew mine. It turned out much better than I thought, even was asked if I took classes. I said nope just online. Is drawing harder or different for left handed people like myself? Keep up the good work

[@katelynalgarin6447]

I've found it to be pretty hard drawing and sketching with a left hand.

[@NphiniT]

@@katelynalgarin6447 That's because most people are right-handed and you probably learnt your basics from a right-handed person

I started a photography class years ago, however the instructor was inappropriate and I quit, did manage to get a photo published in a book by the National Library of Photography though. Anyway, I would have gone to school for this, however, don't trust instructors in person anymore. Thanks for all you do, Mr. Schaefer!
