i'm really good at drawing don'ts

[chrish]

When I used to draw I was decent, but I stopped because I can't draw from my mind and that annoys me, I could only draw if I was looking at a picture of what I was drawing and that felt more like accurate copying not drawing

[kaitlynmercado]

Ok but the "dont" side is literally 5x better than my regular drawings

I thought she put a wine glass on the paper in the thumbnail it looked so real lol

Hey Rae! Thanks for making these videos. I have a request/suggestion - I love the 'Do' sides of your videos and learn a lot from them, but I feel the 'don't' side is a bit of a missed opportunity to pass on more of your awesome wisdom! It would be amazing if the 'don't' side had more realistic common errors that people make, rather than just showing the huge difference between the two images. Thanks again for your videos & much love! <3

"I'm using grey paper"
FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT IT WAS BROWN

My 8 year old daughter just walked up on my watching this and said "is she drawing on a glass?" It looks real! TFS all your techniques! It's very helpful!

Looking at the thumbnail, I thought it was really a glass and thought this was a joke.

As a beginner artist I found the quote "draw how it seems, not as it is" on point!
I remember myself trying to draw a face from an image. It turns out to look like a realistic face but usually didn't look very alike to the original picture... but then I said to myself, just draw! Always look at the picture and not try to make up anything. And it made a huge difference!

you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

Hey Rae, something I found out with colored pencils, is that if you barely dampen a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol it blends out colored pencil. I don't know how well it works, I just remember seeing it in a realistic art book.

Okay, but no joke, my 6th-grade sketchbook drawings look EXACTLY like the don't side.

[neroquin]

*looks at thumbnail*
Me: I can do that!
*lays wine glass on paper*
Also me: Nailed it.

[Fire-expq]

I can' even draw the don't...

[anthonycasiday]

how often do you draw? THis is really good, I would appreciate knowing how often you practice to get like this. I would say that you should care about proportions/ not be scribbly in gesture drawings that you said in the first don't

[dandelion]

I actually kinda liked the highly edited version, it was almost surreal where it was almost right but not quite and it's not the pleasing version of the glass and almost like something you'd see in a classic movie.

That other drawing that was just a two color was actually pretty amazing if you are going for trying to make a realistic black and white photo. It actually looks like an amazing Polaroid.

[aleece]

I love this! I've always said, "Draw what you see; not what you know" when encouraging reference images, but I really like what you said: "Draw as it seems, not as it is" - perception is everything, especially in art!

0:56 it looked so real i almost thought she placed a glass on paper and just dropped it on the table
