How to Draw Detail Fast and Effectively!

Time to stop getting bogged down in detail with this extremely useful and versatile technique. Less to do with pen skills, it's more the way we think which is crucial. This demo both outlines the thought processes, and shows them in practice with a complex Australian Waratah. The photo reference is on the channel Community Page for you to use putting the demo into practice.

Love the way you broke it ALL down in simple detail, BRAVO!

I’m scared to draw really detailed things, but I love how you break it down in different subject matter.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
Stephen I found your channel a couple of days ago and you wouldn’t believe how much I’ve improved because I found your perspective videos!!! I work with watercolours and I was limited to drawing straight lamps and shapes because I couldn’t sketch a scene to save my life ! I tried watching other perspective videos online and all of them overwhelmed me. You simply asked us to understand the steep angles with the help of pen. I’ve drawn 18 3D lamps in 3 days and coloured them and all of them turned out good. I cannot thank you enough. I’ll finally move on to drawing pretty cafés and landscapes using the same method. Thank you much!!!

it's good to be an artist.
This flower will take me about 30 hours - that’s a whole month and several hypertensive crises. hehe

Can you do a video doing trees and bushes? Should I stay away from graphite?
