Drawing is a skill that most people wish they could do but they immediately put themselves in the category of "Oh, I could never do that." I want to take this time and welcome you to my channel: Draw Sessions.

I've been drawing all my life and have had the privilege of working both for AAA game studios and also movies. I have taught foundation drawing at the University of Cincinnati and it's time now to give back. I understand the frustrations of learning art in general but specifically, drawing. My channel is dedicated in helping absolute beginners, intermediate artists, and industry veterans - all wanting to improve their drawing skills.

having started drawing like a year ago now, will say that including fundamentals in my daily warm ups [circles, ellipses, boxes, cylinders etc] has really helped! Like I worked on a quick portrait drawing last night, and even having not worked on portrait stuff with any real focus yet, besides some basics, I can tell how much I've improved, and though I can also tell where I need to continue to improve, its one of my favorite pieces!

"Show up and learn something" has been something I've been living by with my creative pursuits and it has done wonders. Embracing a playful, curious mindset helps too.

Thoughtful folks like you and some other cool people whose wisdom I've been fortunate to come across also contribute significantly. :)

I think the biggest issue I had when I started drawing again after 8 years is trying to rush the process and skipping the fundamentals, but also the feeling of not being good enough even though I only have spent about 2 month since I started this year. Right now I'm just taking it one day at a time and working on the building blocks and enjoy the ride along. It's important to pace yourself depending on where you are right now. Your videos have helped me slow down and take my time learning what is important before making something good. keep up the good work.

Tips that have helped me improve include drawing just for myself without any pretentiousness or need for validation. By the way the drawing you made in this video is one of my favorites of yours ever Mr. Rebholz, that sea creature (what appears to be) is so cool.

The tip of thumbnail drawings give me much MORE confidence to draw!

[Mikeys_Block]

I would agree with criticism, it hurts but it helps us see how we can get better at things we can’t see yet.

Your videos are always the best, thanks Bobby🦶

[yan-san]

I've beeen watching your videos for some time now - and I felt like sending you this idea for 'animal fusion': skunk, snail and cheetah.

[Salomão-ym]

Your tips are very much appreciated like everything else Mr. Rebholz. Peace and blessings.

[frankseymour]

Being a person who is somewhat older than you, I can confidently says your advice in this video is not only great advice for art but also for life in general. You are very kind to help people with your lessons and you make excellent videos. Thank you for all your efforts.

Thank u Bobby, for another amazing video! 🖤

[joaopedroabreu]

Bobby thank you so much for this video it came at exactly the right time for me

[Ariane-qqco]

Many other online artists especially Brent Eviston and Proko say you must hold your pencil way back or over hand. What do you recommend as you always seem to draw in different positions and never dictate where you should hold it (thank you for that!).

[dipayanchoudhury]

As a new watcher i want to say that your shading technique is very good. May i ask for how many years you have been drawing.

[Sketchvlog]

hello
You draw very well
I watch all your videos and learn❤

[PyroTheRanger]

Hi, i've started to watch your videos some time ago, and i would like to ask you if you have any tips or tutorials on drawing biomechanical creatures, such in the style of H.R. Giger.

[JustNoise-]
