My basic problem is that I have spent almost all of a rather long life (80 is looking younger all the time) convinced that I am an artistic incompetent, constitutionally incapable of doing anything artistic. I continue to work on that, but it is a huge barrier. I internalized the responses of adults when I was a child; I very strongly remember two particular such events.

Your concept of simply focusing on the SHAPES has moved my sketching ability along at an AMAZING rate. I’m able to apply it to any subject and getting better every day. THANK YOU!

I have a 284 page book called "How to draw anything" but I learned more and importantly, enjoyed myself more in your ten minute video - thanks as always Toby 👍

[hangisedef]

This lesson was too good to be free, thanks a lot!

[Shane-gwyt]

[teresawilson]

Your tips are really helping me. I sketched and painted my first street scene. Yay!

[Wacky_Whimsy]

I have watched so many of your courses and this video is one of my favorites. Thank you for such important information in a compact little bite!

[sueuelk]

Thanks Toby. This is the most helpful yet!!

[vandannadale]

Very VERY helpful…and proof that “simple’ (including advice) is often best! Thank you!

[bengunn]

Brilliant. No waffle. To the point. Thank you.

[kellyl]

Your tip on seeing the shapes as the foundation for everything was very helpful. Thank you so much for simplifying it in my head! 😊

Merci pour votre production régulière, je me suis remis au dessin à ma retraite et j’adhère à votre concept maîtrisé, vous avez raison il faut travailler avec aisance et liberté, émouvoir et ne pas se prendre au sérieux Continuez vous nous inspirez

I loved the dueling drawing video with Doug, each 'artist' can express a scene in their own 'style' is great. I also like this video helping me go back to basics. Thank you

[TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

Brilliant! Step 1 alone is genius. That's almost all ya' need. Almost. Love this video 🤓 Leave "perfection" behind and go for "essence" and "shape"

[pjsmith]

Once again, brilliant. You help me make sense of it all. Thanks so much!!!

I am 38 and just recently started drawing, by following online tutorials, on procreate. I now know that I really like architecture and urban sketching. I love the way you draw! I love the loose sketches! But when I do it, it seems like my 5 year old did it. And I have the hardest time choosing colors for my drawings. Anyway, this is a great video. I'm trying to simplify and find the shapes. Hopefully it would get easier in the future. Thank you for your videos!

[JohnGilliland]

Such wonderful and practical instruction. Thanks so much!!!😊

[josephcollins]

Thanks, Toby. Very helpful, so glad I found you here.

[puppydood]

These are great tips. I love the picture of the seal, still in your unique style. I’d love to see a tutorial for this or something similar. 😁

I have just arrived here. What a wonderful teacher you are, I am truly inspired to get started, I have never known where to start. Retired now, I look forward to this enormously. Thank you so much!
