This is so therapeutic. “Don’t be afraid” I am very afraid I have such bad anxiety drawing I don’t want to make a mistake or make it ugly. But I’ll never learn 😂. This is motivating me to start drawing again. Coming from super realistic drawing and idealistic “perfectionism” I want to be messy and loose. Like this

[@TobySketchLoose]

Be messy! It's fun 🙂

[@rwilby41]

You have to flip that first pancake. The on😊😊e we always throw away.

[@josephmoore5708]

I know that it can be hard to just mess up the drawing a little bit and try to thing that it’s being “brave”. I would suggest that if you are just trying out a new drawing, if you want it to look good in a sketchbook, draw it on normal paper first. Once you are proud of that drawing, you can draw it in an actual sketchbook and have your lovely, non-messy picture inside the pages of a sketchbook. However if you want to make it messy, that’s fine to! :)😊

I’ve been drawing trees for over a year. Started aggressively drawing them with pens. I agree with this info.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Thanks 🙏

[@kimsang8055]

I like the words "control chaos", will be using that more going forward ^^

[@TobySketchLoose]

Thanks 🙏

[@georgesaviour6974]

As an artist myself, I like this chaos.

i absolutely LOVE sketching portraits/faces like this!

[@TobySketchLoose]

Me too

[@senpaisatan3441]

Lmao this comment speaks to me, because I’ve come to KZbin for the express purpose of learning more sketching skills.

[@HarlieHarlot]

I love this because im always messing up with perception. Instead of erasing im just going to keep creating line until my eye recognizes the right perception.

Don't be afraid is just the best age old art advice out there

[@ladennastanley6259]

Thank you, had a couple of brain Strokes and was left with permanent shaking hands like Parkinson's. Love hearing this. I also switched to watercolor painting which crazy loose painting can be beautiful, I wish more artist would let imperfect people can still create beautiful art, it all comes from the heart, ta- da! ❤

[@queentitan2855]

my problem is just whenever i try to stretch loose i lose the soul and detail of the drawing. i cant tell if it’s a problem with me not knowing proportions or something

[@TobySketchLoose]

Often it's just about trying to find our style. For me, if I sketch tight i lose the soul of the drawing because for me the beauty is in loose and splashy sketching. But it's so personal, I'm not right and you're not wrong!

[@thissunchild]

@@TobySketchLoose What an inspiring answer🙏🏾

[@gabriel.cashez]

This is such a great advice. Since I've been drawing like this I like much more my drawings. It looks natural and organic.

[@OTTERSandKNIVES]

can confirm, watched this wanting to learn more, but am also already doing this to loosen up and have fun! this is a nice way to go blank! lol

[@leifdux7277]

remember, sketching is about finding lines!

[@TobySketchLoose]

It can be! It can also be about shapes or colours or values - though I guess you're still looking for 'lines' or points of contrast between things hehe

[@leifdux7277]

@@TobySketchLoose Interesting! Didn't really pay attention that sketching too can also be about shapes / colors or values! I'll try next time...

Advice for beginners pls, do you suggest to sketch directly with pen or make the outlines with pencil first?

For me I love going straight in with pen - if this feels scary or stops you sketching then start with pencil. But I would encourage people to use less and less pencil :)
