Sketching with Thin and Thick Lines with Pen & Ink (Art Tutorial)

[@corikay]

This was a great video on thick and thin lines to show value changes! I'm guessing this would be great for thumbnail sketches too. I always wondered how to do it correctly!

[@aprilstark8887]

Love how you explain things! Never thought about how line width helped define foreground from background and etc.

[@teohyc]

+April Stark Thanks :-)

[@prismatic4793]

Thanks for the helpful tutorial. Using different line widths really make a difference.

[@teohyc]

+Prismatic Thanks ~(˘▾˘~)

Very satisfying to see a local artist while surfing KZbin for cat videos. I really enjoy ink drawings so I will be following this channel for awhile 👋

[@teohyc]

+Rage Lord You mean my videos are in the Suggested Videos sidebar while you're watching cat videos? LOL

[@earthrooster1969]

Thanks! On this video and step by step reasoning of why you do what you do...

[@higherground711]

I've added this to my "Art And Drawing Tutorials" playlist. Great job with the tutorial! :-D You really make things easy to understand.

[@teohyc]

+James Barton Thanks :-D

[@higherground711]

No problem. The art world is a better place when you and others give such straight forward and easy to follow advice.

[@DD-d6d3]

you made that look so easy! You're very talented.

[@teohyc]

+Dee Dee Thanks. It's not s difficult technique. The hassle is switching pens all the time.

[@rajaplanet]

I like your tutorials thanks for sharing, I want to know how to use ink lines in large watercolor painting , for eg 60 by 100 cm paper. what I should use pen or brush or bamboo ?

[@dalex100]

Hi Teoh! Again, great video!! I was wondering if you could make a video about sketching trees.

[@teohyc]

+dalex100 Maybe in the future

[@SharonNolfi]

Thanks for an excellent tutorial! Which pen did you use for the background trees?

[@teohyc]

+Sharon Nolfi I used the thinnest line from Uniball Eye - Ultra Micro

[@burkemccoy8828]

Can you please do a video on how you simplify intricate details of buildings like in baroque architecture as well as neoclassical which usually have statues, text, fancy windows, columns, etc.

[@teohyc]

+Burke McCoy I'll see what I can do

[@burkemccoy8828]

Teoh Yi Chie thank you

[@swang812]

Hi Teoh! What is the difference between the uniball pen vs. fountain pen? when do you choose to use which one? Also how about the copic or the micro liners? I also have a non drawing related question. What is your camera set up when you do your demo?

[@teohyc]

+SUZII CHAN With fountain pens, you can choose your own ink. Since it is refillable, you don't have to spend more money buying disposable pens. Micro liners are pens for people who need to work with specific stroke thickness. My camera setup is at kzbin.info/www/bejne/maXFd4aGZtmhqJo

[@VikasKumar-ms6lq]

SUZII CHAN yaar I love you

[@bartholoclumpdink7246]

Thanks Teoh.

[@teohyc]

+Bartholo Clumpdink Thanks :-)

[@johnukpainter]

what about useing birothe standard writing pens. you can leave the caps off from day one and they do not dry out ?? you can get them in thick, med and fine

[@teohyc]

I'm not sure what pens you're talking about.

[@johnukpainter]

Yes lol how do you get on with them when drawing.??

[@That_Girl_7_11]

Thanks Teoh,.... another great tutorial video showing us how to get it right the first time when drawing :) OOoh and BTW my Prima watercolours came and they are very intense with their pigment compared to my Koi set.

[@teohyc]

+AllyKatPerth Enjoy them. :-) That box should last for a long time.

[@That_Girl_7_11]

Teoh Yi Chie I bought two the classics and the tropical thank you again for the recommendation on them :)

[@melissasue19681]

This really helps! Thanks!

[@teohyc]

+Melissa Aldosari Thank you :-)

[@johnukpainter]

Hi its the pen that took over from fountain and dip pens in the 1960 its like the roller ball, but its was the first type of pen that you did not have to fill with ink.The maker was Biro and we still call them Biro, but that's really the makers name. Unlike fountain pens the ink last for months if not years in the tube inside the pen . just depends how much you use it. They must be the cheapest pen on the market these days. and you can get them in a range of colour inks and nibs thick, med & fine.Many people make them now. i use them for 70% of my urban sketching these days.

[@teohyc]

Oh. You mean ballpoint pens. I do have some ballpoint pens that I use too, mostly from Uniball.

[@genekirkham2704]

great tutorial. Thank you thank you for no time lapse. Have you switched to uniball from your fountain pen? Just got a package of vision myself. On sale at Michael's.I'm in Florida and because of time difference I love to get up each morning and get on youtube to see what you have for the day. Thanks again.

[@higherground711]

+gene kirkham Same here. He explains things really well and inspires me to try them myself. :-D

[@nataliaramoncifuentes668]

Hola amigo , sigo todos tus vídeos pero no entiendo el inglés , porque no los traduces al español ? Un abrazo desde España .

[@bobsullivan2101]

I don't really see a difference between the lines in the middle ground and the lines in the back ground, especially after you added all those lines to depict the forest trees. Aren't there any other more obvious ways to depict the subtle differences you're are trying to point out?

[@teohyc]

To make the line thickness more obvious, just use pens with significant differences in thickness. E. G. 0.1, 0.5 & 1.0 instead of 0.3, 0.5 & 0.8.
