Beginners Drawing: Discover how Curves can Energise your Drawing Positively - PART 1

#howtodraw #drawingtutorial #easydrawing
Pencil drawing for beginners: In this easy drawing tutorial video I show beginners how to draw with curves by learning basic techniques in a simple step by step approach. The art tutorial is designed for complete beginners to drawing and makes it easy to draw. With curves you can draw a lot of objects very simply such as; ribbons, flags, grass, cliffs leaves etc. I shall show you stage by stage how to create each of these items by sketching the basic outlines and then using a 4B pencil to shade in the detail.
I also explain how by shading horizontally you can make a surface look flat and can make a surface look vertical; by shading up and down i.e. vertically. I also provide links to other of my art tutorials which explain and draw the items in much more detail.

wow thank you thank you thank you for your simple quick and easy steps to drawing. As a Australian Mum of two with disabilities and a family with medical problems, who has just discovered an inner artist who has been busting to come out, I don't have time to sit and watch or practice most drawing info videos on you tube. Your voice is encouraging and inspires me to do more. I can't thank you enough Paul, I absolutely your videos please keep them rolling in. Loren :)

That was the best day of me deciding to learn drawing, since I was a kid I had a knack of drawing and painting it was enthralling compared to my little age, unfortunately I've stopped for years snd years now I come back with an extreme enthusiasm because of your channel 🙏💚

I had to make 18 ribbons to get it right. I'm kind of hopeless but determined 😁

[sandrapearl]

Like Julie from 2 months ago, I started drawing and painting during my retirement.  Your pep talk on attitude was so helpful as I'm so critical of all my efforts.   I discovered your painting and drawing tutorials tonight.  Your teaching is easy to understand!! Thanks you

Sir you are are the TEACHER. By watching and following your advices in one or two videos I learned more than in my whole school drawing lessons. I thought, I will never be able to draw anything and I realized, that it's not that hard and perfection is useless.
