The Secret to Learning How to Draw an Open Card Box Confidently Step by Step: Drawing Basics PART 1

[@franklu1032]

This vid was very neat and I loved how u said, "don't panic."

[@PaulPriestleyart]

That's great, glad you enjoyed the video

[@Dittachu]

I reallly appreciate that tip on putting a shadow around the box, when you can't see one in the photo. It creates some real space where the box is

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Glad you liked the idea. Cheers Paul

[@staceyiseman]

Thank you, Paul. Whilst isolating due to pandemic, my kiddo and I are drawing daily. This was a useful part of intro to drawing technique for him.We appreciate your work.

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your drawing.

[@aqeelnizamani]

Beautiful and thing i love was "dont panic.."

[@PaulPriestleyart]

You'd be surprised the number of people who write to me saying they can't do this or that because they haven't got the right pencil or a piece of graphite. Cheers Paul

Wonderful video…I’m new to drawing and you demonstrate at a beginner friendly pace and you are a delight to listen to…so encouraging 🥰

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Thank you so much 😀

[@supercherryo]

Good drawing practice! If I may suggest, that you make available the larger photo of the actual box, so that I could draw what I see, not just recreate your strokes. You could have the link to the photo available for download in the description of the video.

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Some good ideas there, I'll investigate linking to the actual picture. Cheers Paul

Thank you! Cheers!

[@amexjam55]

I noticed how easier it was to do the shadows using the graphite stick. I'll need to check if I've got any in my art bin.👍

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Graphite is really useful, the ones I use are made by Lyra. Cheers Paul

[@hamdanabdulrehman2474]

I actually learned

[@PaulPriestleyart]

That's great

[@aHappyBirddd]

Can you please tell me how to set a vanishing point? How many is necessary?

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ7LmHiMap5modU and the others that follow. Should explain everything.

[@manishathathera3332]

Which pencil you will be use sir

[@PaulPriestleyart]

I used a 2 B pencil.

[@scootermom1791]

For the fun of it, I tried the part at the very beginning with the vanishing points merging together to create a box. My "box" ended up looking a little on the abstract side. Lol Disclaimer: I'm not an artist nor do I play one on TV. 😂 Just attempting to draw for fun.

[@PaulPriestleyart]

It's all about making sure the verticals stay vertical

[@t91fj80]

he really likes his graphite

[@PaulPriestleyart]

He certainly does. Every drawing pencil contains graphite.

[@seydaimrg]

I salute you have a success much I love watching you from Turkiye you add subtitle please turkish?

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Glad you like the video. Check out subtitles for Turkish translation

[@hadeerdowidar165]

Sir.. I'm an Arab and your videos help me so much my English isn't good I'm sorry Today I tried to draw a toy in front of me but I failed it was so bad I don't wanna give up but really I can't do it & one thing else... I don't know from where I should start Sorry I talked too much

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Your English is good. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZbdfpSsd9aKjsU it might help. Cheers Paul

[@nitroRadon]

Sir, i cannot draw out of my imagination. I need a reference sketch or picture to draw. Is it okey ?

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Copying photographs or other people's drawing is just copying. If you want to learn to draw, you have to draw what is in front of you.

[@nitroRadon]

@@PaulPriestleyart I don't understand, then what should i draw? I am not very good at imagining and drawing as of now.

[@staceyiseman]

@@nitroRadon you can put a box on your table and look at it and draw it. If you don't have a box, you can draw a different, similar simple object.

[@gokmen536]

Angles: My BIGGEST problem Angles :( always my boxes wrong.

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Yes, once you crack the angles everything falls into place.

[@gokmen536]

Paul Priestley many thanks for your simple videos.

[@astnne]

I just felt like grabbing the box out of my computer since it's so realistic.

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Now you have to draw it!

[@astnne]

@@PaulPriestleyart What paper do i use?

[@HaseebKhan-bh5su]

Thank but must learned apple with pencil and very good with colors pencils

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Are you sure you are commenting on the correct video?

[@lstepinski]

Okay I did the drawing and several others. I cannot see how you can hold graphite in your fingers and rest the side of your hand on the drawing without getting graphite smudges everywhere. I am erasing constantly those areas of unwanted darkness. How are you avoiding the mess?

[@PaulPriestleyart]

You don't rest your hand on the drawing. If you are holding graphite or charcoal, the hand holding the material shouldn't come into contact with the paper. Resting your hand on the drawing restricts movement and the freedom of expression. You'll have to try to adapt your drawing technique. Cheers

So what is your problem? Just draw and stop making excuses, you can do it if you try.

Don’t panic🤣🤣

[@PaulPriestleyart]

True

[@harlenblue4490]

This is for homeschool and I can’t get the box straight

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Oh, yes you can, try again.

[@ashiajain6049]

I can't see anything

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Shame

[@Jelly_O]

Ok i Just can’t do it

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Then you have two options, give up or try again. Choice is yours.

[@JoyUmeh-ey2pz]

It's very hard 😅

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Don't give up! You can do it if you really want to. Cheers
