Hey there everyone! So for this live drawing session, by popular demand the drawing for this hangout was a tropical beach scene with a waterfall included somewhere in it. So that is exactly what I have created. I really do enjoy doing these hangouts and getting inspiration from all of my viewers. You all have such great imaginations that really help my creative process to create some awesome sketches.

Thank you everyone that participated! It sure was a blast and had a great time!

Hey guys! so those of you that tuned into this video, the previous hangout I was doing crashed on me. My web browser decided to not support the hangout anymore and just closed itself thus ending the hangout. Luckily, I got the hangout back up and running rather quickly in this video. But this video ends rather abruptly as well because my computer decided to CRASH!

But anyways. this time Cark Mrilley was with me and he was doing that whole ordeal lol. I continued my landscape drawing and just had a great time chilling with the audience talking about random topics ranging from cartoons to more celebrities jumping off the cliff.... Fun times!!

I will continue to do these live hangouts, they make for a great time!

Did this with water soluble ink pencils. Its a very different medium that is very unique it work with.

I used Oil paints on this one. This is a basic wooden tv table that we found on the side of the road. I got 4 of them and I plan on painting all 4 of them and putting them up for sale.

Hope everybody Enjoyed this. I had a very good time painting on a wooden surface. It was different but very fun.

Here is a video that will give a description of everything that I will be using in the landscape series.

Some of the supplies I will be using are graphite pencils ranging from 4h all the way to 9b. Charcoal as well as charcoal pencils. These are very easily blended into the drawings and make very good tools to use. The charcoal ranges like pencils do. They range from hard to med to soft to ex soft. Hard being a lighter tone and harder to blend while ex soft is very soft and blends easily. I also use sticks of charcoal to fill in large areas very quickly

Erasers can vary very much. There are so many brands out there and many of them work very well. The pink erasers work very well for making very sharp eraser marks as well as the kneaded eraser. This one is like puddy and can be shaped into any form you wish. Other erasers range from cheap little white ones that are cheap. I also use a triangular eraser that works out very well. There are also gum erasers that leave a mess while erasing but pick things off the page very well. My favorite eraser is the retractable one. This is like a mechanical pencil but instead of lead being inside of it, its a very long piece of eraser. These are very good for making very precise erasing on the page. Very compact and great for on the go.

Blending materials My favorite object to use is a blending cloth. They are very soft and work very well. They are rather cheap and can also be substituted for paper towels and other types of cloth that are soft. The blending stumps come in 2 kinds. Tortillions which are very cheap and come in very long sharp points. These last a very long time and can be used very effectively in the drawing. They are hollow in the center so the points do sometimes get pushed in. The other type is a blending stump. These are fully compressed paper shaped into points at the ends. These work best. They are not hollow and I have used some of mine for over a year. They come in thicknesses of about an 8th of an inch all the way up to almost an inch in diameter.

You an also get a very conformable mechanical pencil with a rubber grip. They are more comfortable to use than regular pencils because you can grip them much easier. You can also get different fillings for it. You can get pencil grades from 9h all the way to 9b.

Welcome back everyone to the start of my series on how to draw the mountains in the mist!

How to Draw a River

Welcome back everybody to part 6 of how to draw the mountains in the mist. This part focuses on how to draw the river in this scene. I will go over and show you the steps to create the reflections, small rapids, and overall polished look of the water.

For the main water part having a mix of different pencils will help you a lot! For the part where I reflect the trees, I use a 2B pencil and slightly draw in the trees to make the reflection. I do not want a perfect mirror reflection because remember, I am drawing a river. This water will be moving so any reflection will be heavily blurred and hard to make out details. Because of that, I only suggested a very rough tree like shape in the water.
Also try to leave a very small gap between the reflection and the river bank. It will help a lot to be able to tell where the water ends and the river bank begins.

When going in to draw a river, I use a 2H pencil for the most part. That pencil has a great ability to place lines down that blend very well with one another creating a seamless plane. It helps to give the water that shine to it from the light reflection. Also using a 2H pencil on top of the 2B pencil you used to create the trees will not cover up that detail at all. It will actually enhance it and make it a part of the water.

You can also go back in using a 4H pencil. This will help to fill in any gaps that the 2H pencil left and will further enhance the look of the overall drawing.

This will take practice to get down so don't worry if it doesn't come out correctly the first time.

I hope you all enjoyed this part of how to draw the mountains in the mist and I will see you next time for part 7!

Thanks for watching!!

In this video, I will cover how to detail and texture the large tree in the foreground of the drawing. This is a very similar method to how I added the details for the other trees in the drawing. This time, I will be adding more volume to the detail because the tree is much closer to the viewer. Because of that, I want to add in more details to really make it pop. Later on in the drawing, I also go back into different areas and begin to add in details to try and get some of the finishing touches going. Next video, I will be covering the final touches to the drawing.

I hope you all enjoyed this drawing and thanks a lot for watching!

In this video I start to take on the ground details. I have been putting them off for quit some time. I started out by filling in the ground area with a tone of HB. When I do this, it makes it easier for me to create and add details on top of it.

I decided to draw in some grass by the tree. It acts as a nice filler but it also looks really nice. I start drawing grass by adding in simple lines. Using a sharper pencil makes the process easier. After making a series of grass like lines, I use an eraser to start creating the blades of grass. Once that is done, going back in to add in some shadows and other details is what really brings it all together. For the other areas of the ground, I decided to leave it just as a gradient and it looked quite nice.

I hope you all enjoyed this edtion to the summer in the mountain series and I look forward to seeing you all for part 6!

The entire process for making clouds is that you almost never draw them in, but rather you erase them out. The eraser is normally a tool used to get rid of mistakes. In this case it is used to create. Start with a large eraser and start pulling out large shapes which will be later defined by a smaller eraser. Then lastly use a pencil or charcoal to put in some shadows on the clouds.

You an use some charcoal to go back into the upper part of the sky to make it darker. This will create a transition of tones from the top of the sky to the bottom going from dark to light.

Then once this is done. You can use a small eraser to get in and add some small details. This will brighten up the tops of the clouds to make them really white and puffy. This will also help to give some movement and realism to the clouds.

Had a lot of fun with this hangout! I once again got the opportunity to ask my audience what they would like to see me draw. By popular demand, they requested that I draw an underwater cave seen. So that is what I started to sketch during this hangout. I love having that interactive drawing experience and it is a great way to get over that creative boundary of not knowing what to draw.

In this video, I finally am getting back into doing some color since I know a lot of you are wanting to learn how. It feels nice to get back into it again. So, lets talk about what I will be using during the rest of this video series. The main pastels that I have is a 72 set of Derwent pencil pastels. I also have some Prismacolor Nu pastels and Sennelier pastels as well. The other 2 brands are cheaper and they come in a set of about 24 for a pretty cheap price. They work really well though.

I picked out 3 shades of blue as well as some white for the sky. Using the light white for the bottom and working darker and darker towards the top is the way I generally like to color my skies in. Then just using some white pastel, I started to make some puffy clouds that will be floating off to the sides of the drawing. I also used a bit of darker brown to get some shadows into the clouds as well. You can do this if you like or you can just leave the bottoms of the clouds a bit of a darker blue color. That works as well.

This hangout was an interesting one. I was working on the drawing that I had from the other night. The one with all the cliffs and whatnot. I was still getting comments as to who I should draw jumping off those cliffs haha.... good times! But I was getting to the end of what I wanted to accomplish on that drawing.
But while I was drawing that landscape, I was getting a lot of feedback as to what I should draw between the cliffs and in the background. It became an interactive drawing session! I ended up drawing a river between the cliffs and a waterfall in the background.
Since we were on the topic of interactive drawing, I decided that for the next drawing, I would have the audience decide what I should draw. And by popular demand, there were a lot of hits for post apocalyptic city landscape of sorts. So I decided to draw an "I am Legend" style of it. Towards the end of the landscape, i started to draw in some overgrown trees and grass of sorts. Overall, I had a great time drawing this one. I got some awesome feedback from the audience and it made for a great time!

Thanks everyone!!

In this video, I will go over in depth on how to draw the trees that are on the cliffs in the background of the drawing. This starts out with using the side of a pencil to make a solid tree trunk. Adding in a few on each side will be enough to then later on fill the areas in with leaves.

Adding in the leaves is the same method that I do for most of my other videos where I explain how to do it. Ill use either a HB or 2B depending on how dark I would like the leaves to be. It is pretty much just using the pencil on its side to get a large variety of detail flowing and creating the forms and shapes of a tree.

I hope you all enjoyed the video and thanks a lot for watching!!

Supplies:

Faber castell pencils:

4H 2H HB 2B 3B 4B

Paper mate tuff stuff eraser
sharp needle point
blending stumps

90IB hardbound sketch book.

Drawing duration: about 3 hours.



So here is a sketch that I have been wanting to do for a very long time. I have been looking on the web for a reference picture to draw but could not find one that I have liked. So what I just decided to draw this one straight out of my head. Drawing out of my head is something I have been practicing for a while now and it has taken me a while to get used to it. Once you get the shading down, you can draw any sort of convincing composition.

So I started the landscape drawing like I usually do. I outline where the mountains are going to go and then I start working on the sky. I started with a 2h pencil and used the weight of the pencil to shade it in. Then using a cloth, I blended everything smooth.

I have a few erasers that are very fine that I used to start erasing out some clouds. Once the clouds were erased out, I would go back in with a pencil again to add some shadow and detail to them.

Next step is the mountains. I usually leave one side of the considerably darker than the other to show dynamic lighting effect. It helps to convince the viewer that light is effecting the landscape. I will also make very dark lines going down the mountains to show texture on them to help bring them out.

The next portion was the waterfall. This one started out with a light sketch of where I wanted it to be and then I started to plant some rocks on both sides of it. Shading the rocks took me a long time to do. I worked then and shaded them with a lot of texture to make them as lifelike as I could make them.

The last portion of the drawing I just decided to add in a few bushes and eventually a tree. The tree really helped to balance out the overall drawing in the end which really made the drawing come together.
