The Mystery Revealed! Accuracy Drawing Freehand in Ink ONLY!

[@stephentraversart]

How do I draw so accurately freehand in ink? This is how. Please give me a LIKE for my secret!

[@ravichandrakumarchouturi1900]

Great video you have cleared my doubt.

[@LukeSeed]

I love the concept of putting off detail to aid in building the composition

[@stephentraversart]

We are free to create the best drawing we can ‘see’. 😀

[@santone1849]

excellent drawing and great subject . I love drawing old buildings . Thanks Stephen

[@stephentraversart]

Thanks 😀

[@SpectrumOfChange]

This is extremely helpful, thank you!! Sometimes I want to sketch something pretty quick without underdrawing but keeping things even loosly accurate is a real obstacle. This way of approaching is clever, thank you for sharing your methods and secrets, it's incredibly generous.

[@stephentraversart]

Glad it was helpful. All the best with it. 😀

[@fanatlarge]

Right now I'm struggling with trying to get the subtle perspective right on a looong boat, trying to draw some straight bold lines. It doesn't work, I never hit the right angle 🙄. Frustrated I turned away, and then the algorithm puts your video in my way, and there may be the solution, using tentative dots. 😀 I will try tomorrow to approach it your way.... Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@stephentraversart]

It’s worth a go I reckon. 😀

[@josecasado2398]

Impresionante!! Me gusta mucho.

[@stephentraversart]

De nada. 😀

[@Hooker-mma]

Watching you draw is amazing

[@stephentraversart]

That’s very kind. Thanks😀

[@artdavisstudios]

What a beautiful subject and great example of how the drawing is an enhancement of the charm of the photo.

[@stephentraversart]

Thank you very much! Kind of you to say. 😀

[@malihehrahrovan2321]

love watching your drawings....

[@stephentraversart]

Thank you! Cheers!😀

[@verdedoodleduck]

Great subject; terrific reference photo. Definitely a big help in accuracy. In your other videos I sometimes actually find myself expecting you to make more broken lines than you end up doing...

[@stephentraversart]

Broken lines?🤔

[@tinyfacemcgee9211]

I’m trying to do a very large drawing, 22x30, and I’m finding it so challenging! And I’ve done months of small studies for it too. Drawing large is a totally different game but you said to practice what we want to be good at so I’m going for it!

[@stephentraversart]

I wouldn’t recommend very large at the start, simply because we can learn faster on a smaller scale at the start, and then we can apply it to a larger scale for more encouraging results. Have fun with it. 😀

[@ranger2316]

Hey from Tampa-St Pete, Fl. Stephen, thank you for the tips and techniques for laying out reference points not committing too early in the process. I love the drawing... I think I will have a go at it!

[@stephentraversart]

Great. All the best with it. 😀

[@Arcana_XVIII]

You can know a lot of tricks and hacks, but the real difference between a master like him and a novice is the number of errors committed, he has failed and learned from his mistakes thousands of times more than us.

[@stephentraversart]

That's very kind of you to say. And I have no problem in admitting that the occasional drawing video drawing goes into the bin rather than into editing! :)

[@yebewijaya8135]

Great 👏 btw you measure using a pen on an image that is the same size as the drawing medium, what if the image is smaller?

[@stephentraversart]

I measure the angles that way, not distances. Angles stay the same whatever size the drawing is. 😀

[@prevedbuivol]

How do you know where to start your drawing?

[@stephentraversart]

This video tells you kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYDKpKCgm6mKa5Isi=y8HtvAtBaB0D0QSr 😀

[@fizzibastelt8839]

Thanks for sharing your expertise :-) i like to draw another way …love those searching lines and would not erase it even if i could. In my opinion they make the drawing vivid and ..well moving, don’t know how to express in English. I would miss them :-)

[@stephentraversart]

Sounds good to me. Thanks. 😀

[@LittlePhizDorrit]

how do you control proportions?

[@stephentraversart]

I have a few recent videos on this. They are better than anything I can say in a comment. 😀

[@LittlePhizDorrit]

@@stephentraversart I'll try to find them.

[@bradzaruba9686]

I wish tours looked closer to mine😢

[@bradzaruba9686]

Whoops...yours

[@stephentraversart]

Redrawing the same drawing is a great way to build our skills. We are more focussed the second time. 😀
