I have several disabilities, one of which is narcolepsy. This often leads to random lines running across my drawing, because I fell asleep in middle of drawing a line. I have learned to accept these unintended lines as a new direction for the piece.
Regardless of what methods you use for instruction, learning to work with the everyday hiccups in your process will help you overcome obstacles and succeed.

Well your videos got me off to a great start and I recommend them to anyone. Other videos and books will come. Thanks!

Something I learned from a book was to trace and work from the photo. This was in a book about drawing people. It will teach you to pay attention to what you are really seeing.
Still life was encouraged too.
You always have interesting videos.

I'm totally like what you say. I learn more by trying to draw from what I see, a picture, a drawing etc. I also like to see a lot of videos and thats how I learn.
I try to draw everything. Faces are kinda easy but I really want to learn how to draw a real portrait of a person.

I’m new to drawing with no experience. I’m having a hard time figuring out how and what to draw. Should I just copy draw a picture?

Will this achieve me being able to draw and then being able to create my own designs?

[shadowsprinkles]

I have been trying to learn to draw for 2 years not going to lie it has been slow and now i have some health issues but i remaber one of my biggest issues is i can't move shapes around in my head and when i do it is often off and looks wrong. I feel like it's kind of a perspective issue but one that i can't seem to fix.

Love your videos...new to all of this...thanks for the inspiration!

[TheTwick]

Very good video! I’ll be trying this right away. It’s kinda hard to tell, how much time did it take you to finish this drawing? It will take me longer but I’m getting faster (I know it’s not a race but I’m getting more efficient than when I started). Thank you

i got a old mom home fellas, sory thinking out loud :)

[beedeeuniko]

Neither books nor video are optimal since both are 2D, try sketching from life as well, that‘s 3D 😁

[socratesthecabdriver]

not a live...but just as good :) stay safe wash before you walk in home take your shews off change them every time you get home..that means at least 5 pair ..ahahaha my drawing budget just dwindled down to what i got... save the fucking planet ahahahaha xoxo
