Beginning this series today. I’ll do two of them daily and then someday i’ll catch you uo! thank you so much, love your videos.

that destruction broke my heart seeing that fall, but glad they repaired it

Glendale, AZ, 104°F

I discovered your videos a few months ago and they have really helped me. I feel like I have a lot more confidence when I draw, and I am producing better work. Thank you so much! I hope you keep making videos.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This video kicked my skill level up at least a couple levels. Good on’ya, and cheers from Chicago!

I like the reference and I looking forward to draw this Cafe...thank you for watching this beautiful sketch.

Its really interesting to me from the other point of view than most people who watch this, my drawings are always super detailed becasue i draw from detail to bigger picture not the other way around. I always start with doodling shapes that i think loog good and just ad more and more little shapes soo at the around mid point i have to decide "what is in this drawing" and i am always suprised what comed out of this. Its fascinating to see how other people think during the drawing process!

Im pissed that this got only 7,5k views. It deserves more!

Thank you so much Stephen for your videos! I want to draw every day and intend to use your tutorials. I have a plant like this next to my patio and I am delighted with my drawing. Di in South Africa

you are absolutely amazing in describing the ideas of drawing and perspective and i improved alot thanks to you, but i am still struggling with drawing and shorten the windows or anything else that needs to be shortened, can you please tell me what to do to make myself better and how can i make it easier or how am i supposed to practice it?

Day 22. Love towers 😊 wish I could draw them straight though! In my main drawing the first floor arches lean a bit, almost as though I need a guideline down the middle. I noted this in the pre draw and still couldn't draw it straight, not that the markers aren't in line. Anyhoo. I'm beginning to add more shade and texture now. Next reel I'll do a comparison.

Please do more pencil videos! 🙏

you are the best thank you for the videos.

Thank you. I learn so much from your channel!

Hello Stephen , thanks for the demo , I have a question if you like can you tell us along the video what changes you make in your drawing if compared to the reference as I saw that at the starting of the video the base part all I can see in the reference is pure white , a medium dark , and dark(all of them can be seen very distinguish ) but when you drew all If any were mixed Where I saw pure dark , you put vertical marks there and slightly darken some areas only I think thus is what you call the effect of detail , and I find it really hard to warp around when you say to "feel" the detail and effect just somehow I can't understand this term "effect" at all Or I can say that I am quite restricted in the types of marks that I currently have in my toolbox (maybe only line and hatch) as I mostly draw figures and vehicles In short i am drawing these sessions regularly but am not quite satisfied with the marks I make , a way too much dark in hatch and fauls to have harmony in the drawings Thank you Stephen , please continue with these sessions

Thank you for all the great tips, Stephen! Cheers

Wonderful but in French « Clock » = « Horloge » not « Horoge »

Day 22. 4 min pre sketch and 13 min main sketch. Definitely like this process. I spent some time shading the dome. I like both of them, less scratchy lines. Not being a draftsperson I'm ok with the wonky. They do them and I'll do me. 😅

Very instructional!

Why do you have green tape on the pen?

I tend lose track of the concepts that 1) I am not trying merely to produce a copy of a photo; and 2) I need to spend time planning how to use marks to make the drawing effectively represent the subject. Instead, I jump right into drawing and usually have to figure out where I went wrong. I’ll be watching this video again!

Im just finishing a cert 3 course totally unrelated to my art. You are absolutely correct. I feel im ready to be a productive student just now, 6 months later. It has improved what content i actually consume because im approaching my self taught learning with focus. Last couple of months has been compositition mainly with values in addition. I have been learning productively and effectively. Thanks very much for confirming what ive just learnt. 😊

Great channel. Are you typically straight to pen or do you do much penciling?

💯✅ I feel this heavy. After I saw how you do trees that was what really clicked for me, using the entire body to do the action. In this way you can feel the roots pulling the work up through your feet. Just relax and open up. Good to see you still practicing brother.

On peaceful side of internet there is always an artist. You sir, when your channel grows please maintain your format, no background music, no advertisement in middle and no shitty joke. Just me enjoying your art and your narration, enjoying taking a sip from my cup of tea. So calm and peaceful and makes me push through life and maybe even enjoy it You reminds me of Bob Ross Much love❤

This is perfect - I've been struggling with trying to outline the entire thing in advance and breaking it down like this was working better for me - and I thought maybe I was doing something wrong.. This clarifies my next steps for exercises and gets me past the current mental hump..

This is so good. Easy fixes that will make a huge difference. Thank you!

That nature scene at 0:27 is stunning

Hello from Spain. I had never drawn before with a pen like yours (MICRON in my case), but I'm improving with your videos and I see many possibilities in them I didn't see before.

Thanks Stephen.

That `s it , we draw what we " want " to see...and we are unhappy with our sketch.

Is it possible if make basic figure and then we make hatching with pencil after the basic figure? Thank you to answer

Love this! Thank you! Your rendering is actually much more interesting than the actual subject! Just want to make sure I understand; the analysis/practice phase should come before and actually be separate from execution phase and this will make execution phase actually easier and more effective?

Damn brooooo you really like teachiiiiing Bro literally made 2 videos yesterday and a new ooooone

Wow this is an exceptional lesson and exactly what I’ve been working on…going to begin these daily drawings with you and thank you for taking the time to share of yourself generously in this way!!! I study with two artists locally who are very different in their approaches but they both agree drawing well is the key to success…again, thank you.

So if I could briefly summarize the flower drawing (that speaks in general to this): 1. Draw the fore-most objects (flowers). Use brief lines to imply the stems and pedals/buds. 2. In the darker area, put down hatching to darken the area, but also let the shadows help further translate some of the stems, pedals, and buds. Make sure you start with a "medium" amount of hatching separation, and fill in with darker or less cross hatching as needed. 3. From there, use further separation of hatching to imply lighter areas (but still in some shadow), and use less lines (or thinner lines) to define further objects. 4. Keep in mind the overall "sections" of a picture of details. Specifically, you need to preserve the "lighter" sections instead of just putting marks down. Each individual object is way less important than the collective of objects as a whole picture. As a note from me (and a question): Would it be best to take a step back and look at the original picture to best identify the lighter and darker areas, then draw a very rough "blob" reference picture without all the details? Perhaps the hardest thing to develop is what kinds of lines and density of thick/thin lines you choose to use for any given section? I imagine you have years of experience and know "This section looks about to be this level of darkness, with this level of texture, therefore I'll use this cross hating ensamble. Can you do a video where you show how to create different textures or techniques for different surfaces or effects? That would be cool.

I can't believe this video has only 158 likes... If I would have to pick a video that instantly imporved my drawing it would be this one. Thanks a lot!
