Learning to Draw Digitally for Beginners

Getting started in digital art can be intimidating. In this video I go through an exercise where we talk about layers and brushes and what you should learn first when learning to draw digitally.

I’m so obsessed with every video you make, I’ve always dreamed of being able to draw and you are finally helping me make that dream come true!

This is literally the exact video series I need. Been trying to learn to draw but the process of applying physical drawing tutorials to the digital landscape has been really difficult. Thank you so much for this!

You're back!! and great timing too! I recently picked up digital art (and drawing in general) and was getting a little overwhelmed with all the different tools in the apps on top of practicing the foundations on how to draw. I've tried following other art videos and as great as they were, i find yours the easiest to understand and the most beginner friendly.

I'm so glad to see you've got a course just for this! Will definitely give it a purchase and see how it goes! Thanks so much ^^

Hi Brad, I feel what you described: I'm a beginner, and drawing is a hobby for me. I wanted to learn more, so I got a drawing course that started with figure drawing. The course is great, but it is so ahead of my current abilities that it has been more frustrating than enjoyable. It resonates with me the idea of having small wins while learning the concepts and skills, I love that! I just got your course, and I'll complete it now and leave my other course for later. I think I'll have so much more fun. Thank you. :D

Dude... Your personality and sense of humor was built for this. Never stop.

I just bought an extremely cheap drawing tablet and even tho I did not buy it for drawing specifically, digital art is something that has interested me for a long time, I just did not had the funds for even a cheap drawing tablet. I tried drawing on gimp (lol) but it wasn't fun and I felt lost, but this video and the one about hardware and software have really opened my eyes to the possibilities, so thank you for posting great content. Whenever my budget for non necessities increases, I'd like to purchase your course!

[VioletEvergreene]

OMG yes! Thank you for showing us EXACTLY what we need to do to get us started quickly! You're super concise, easy to follow, and you make it effortless to learn! Okay. I'm buying one of your courses today. Don't tell Jazza. He'll have to wait.

I managed to make a cube that looks like it's developing mold along the edges, but im proud of myself that i accomplished smthn!! This tutorial was really fun to watch and listen along to!!

[isiahbrown]

I’m slick proud of you, my guy. Your improvement from when I first began watching your videos is impressive and inspiring.

[Grimangell]

This is exactly what I was loiking for in terms of an intro video. I have been spinning in circles trying ti find ine that wasn't just about painting or only for a specific program. Thank you.

Cool nice timing I was just looking for this video at the moment you uploaded

[czerwonygozdzik]

It's great that you decided to continue this project ! Your videos are always so easy to understand and follow - even for a not native speaker like me. Thanks for making them : )

[gothickah]

I just started drawing on my ipad, i love drawing with pencil and sketchbook. But, when it comes to digital drawing im zero. Your class and tuts helps me a lot. Thanks.

I picked up hipaint on my tab. Got humbled reeeal quick. This video is gold tho, explaining the basis for beginner beginners you know. Most ppl talk about the basics as if we all know what it is about.

[EnglishStoryShared]

I'm completely hooked on every video you create! I've always aspired to become a skilled artist, and you're finally helping me turn that dream into reality!

Big day in the history of Art
Beacuse Brad Finally uploaded a video after almost a year!

[mariaevo]

Your videos are hilarious, funny and just so lovely!!! Your talent and your art is contagious and inspires to try again after failing and failing 🙈

[SuperStoryMode]

This is just delightful! I'm so glad I found your channel!

I'm working on creating the art for my YouTube channel prior to launch, and I have ambitions to become an author and illustrator in the future. I haven't drawn since 2012, due to a lifelong battle with anxiety and depression which almost beat me. Additionally, perfectionism and low self-esteem (a deadly combination) kept me from really improving as an artist in the years prior to my breakdown. But that's all over with now! I'm getting back in the game! I'm REALLY out of practice, I need a better grasp of the basics to begin with, and the digital side of art is COMPLETELY alien to me. Yet, I KNOW that I will succeed in achieving my dream!

I see that you haven't uploaded a video here in a long time, but even if this is all you ever post this is EXACTLY what I need! Thank you, Brad!
