I have a huge passion for the ocean and the best way I can express my love for the ocean is to capture it in the moment. Hope you enjoy!

Drawing was done with Sennelier pastels and oil pastels.

.This is a very old video of mine where I show you the very basics of how to draw a flower in charcoal.

I start off by showing photo reference and show how to translate a small image over to a larger image and then how to detail the image step by step. Hope you enjoy!

Check out how I draw a snow scene using painter to create. This was created the day after we had a blizzard and it just felt natural to draw a picture about it.

Thanks for watching my video. This photo will be posted on my facebook fan page. Check it out! http://www.facebook.com/pages/....Tylers-Art-Shack/181

Supplies I used for this drawing.

Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet.
Corel Painter 11.
Debut Video Capture Software~ screen recorder.
I used the pastel brush and a blender brush.

For this drawing, I followed a style very similar to Bob Ross. I started with a light blue for the sky and gradually worked it into a darker blue towards the top of the page. I also did this for the bottom of the page for what would eventually be the water. I then used the blending tool to create a smooth transition of tones but for the dark blue I used to create a storm like cloud. The water I just smoothed out to create a very blended out tone.

For the mountains, I created the basic shapes with a very dark gray color. After creating the basic shapes and roughing them out, I used the blending tool and blended them all the way down to the blue on the bottom of the page. Right after, I used a dark blue for the shadow portion of the mountains and a pale white as well as a pure white for the light side of the mountains. I applied the color so that It would leave the dark gray from the underside to represent rocks and uncovered areas of the mountains. It gives it more realistic look to it.

After I created the mountains, I used the blender tool and blended out the base of the mountains to create a layer of mist.

I used the pastel brush again to make a dark green color and started to make some trees for the very far background. I used a lighter green to overlay on top of the trees I already put down to create some depth. I then added some white to make it look like there was snow on them. As the trees progressed closer and closer to the picture plane, I added some trees with details. I added detailed trees all the way to the foreground.

As I was doing this, The trees that were far in the background I split by putting in a shore line. The green left below that shore line would become a reflection. I used a blender brush to blend that and wiggle it a bit to create reflections.

I created a shore line under all the new trees I created and after that the picture was pretty much done.

In this video, I decided to get some work done in the background rock cliffs and the waterfall. I start off by darkening and adding in some more details for the rocks so that the waterfall will have more contrast so that it will stand out more. Drawing a waterfall is a back and forth process. I like to add in a small amount of tone with a 2H pencil or so. It really helps to have a sharp eraser for this part. I will start to erase out parts of the pencil to create the highlights of the waterfall. Once this is done, I go back in and darken up some of the water to help build up some contrast and give it a bit of character. Then going back in with the eraser and blending stump to smooth things over and then repeating the process until I get to where I like it. Once that is done, we can go back in and finish up some of the rocks.

Because of the waterfall that I added and some of the objects around it, I had to change the perspective of the water pool just slightly. I did this by adding in more rocks on the bottom that took away from where the water would be. This helped to create the illusion that we were standing in the drawing. When the pool was more rounded, it gave a more overhead look of it which was counteracting the other perspectives that I had already placed in the drawing.

Next video I will start to work on the ground details and get them more finalized. I hope you are all enjoying the series and would greatly appreciate your feedback! Thanks a lot everyone for watching!

Welcome to my video on how to draw pine trees. I do not care if you do not know how to draw, I guarantee if you watch this video or some of my other videos and with a little bit of practice, you could draw just as well as me if not better!

I start my drawings out simple and work into the detail to bring it into a more life like look.

The first step is to get a center line that will be the entire tree. The center line helps a lot when drawing any tree. After this, it helps to create a general shape where the tree will be.

After this is done, make the center line higher. This will become the very top of the tree. I put in some scribbling detail on this. Work very quickly with this, It does not have to be perfect. Leave some spaces between branches and use the underhand grip to scribble in some small details.

Keep the pencil constantly moving, add in small scribbles, the more little detail you add in, the more realistic the tree will look.

Keep in mind that the tree is a free living thing, try and replicate the free look by swapping between detail and very loose hand strokes.

The whole general shape of the tree was done with an HB pencil. The next part of the tree is the shading part. This is all done with a 2B pencil

I use the 2B pencil and go under the branches and make them darker than the rest of the tree. Shading the tree helps to create a more lifelike and realistic look. Pay close attention to how I hold the pencil. It will help you when you draw this picture or any other tree.

I later add a trunk to the tree or a stump. This helps to add character and also plants the tree into the ground. After you add that, shade it in and the picture is pretty much done!

Good LUCK!!!

This is a speed drawing of a beach that I did quite a while back using oil pastels.

This video is a Re upload. I had to change the music out.

Check out my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/tylersartshack

Here is my very first drawing with oil pastels. The brand of oil pastels that I used is called Sennelier. Drawing time took me just over 2 hours.

Supplies:
Sennelier oil pastels
Canson Acrylic grade paper 185 pound
Blending stump
standard pencil

This is my very first attempt at drawing a landscape with my new Sennelier oil pastels. I started the picture out my lightly sketching the placement of the objects in pencil. I then used a combination of many colors to create the effect of movement in the water. As it came closer into the foreground, I used many different colors and shades to create the waves. Then using a white oil pastel, I lightly sketched some foam onto the faces of the waves.

This was probably one of my best landscape drawings I have done and it is still one of my favorite drawing's I have done.

This video shows you how I drew an old pirate ship in the waves. It was done using pastels and took me well over 8 hours to draw.


This video is a re upload. It was originally done on 1/12/10.

I put new music on this video.

Prepare to set sail on some stormy seas on a ghost ship ready to take anything on. The ship is very old and its sails are literally ripping to shreds as this ship tosses around in the ocean. The ship is fully equipped with cannons and many deck hands loyal to the captain and will fight for him no matter what.

The drawing took me about 8 hours to do and it is done with Derwent Pencil Pastels, PrismaColor Pastels, and Derwent Tinted Charcoal. Drawn on Bristol Velum Paper 14x17 inches.

The water alone in this drawing took up a solid 4 hours to do. I used a combination of pastels, tinted charcoal and regular charcoal to model the waves to look as realistic as possible. I remember spending hours on that part and it felt like it took forever.

The sky was probably the most difficult part of the drawing. It was hard to replicate the way it looked. There are about 30 different colors incorporated into the sky that I actually drew to try and best replicate what was actually happening in the reference image.

The actual ship was probably the easiest thing to draw in the whole drawing. It only took me about a half hour to draw it in. There were not that many colors that needed to be completed.

All in all this is probably one of my best drawings I have done. Still to this day it was the most labor intensive drawing I have ever done. But the payoff has never been better. I have framed this picture and it is hanging up on a wall in the main part of our house so everybody can see it as they walk in the house.

Music is by Kevin MacLeod and the song is called "Mistake the Getaway.

Hey guys. So this is a very long hangout that starts off with just me and Thad joins me later during it.

I spend the whole time working on a fantasy tree drawing while answering all of your questions. I had a great time during it, had a nice solid amount of viewers and got a lot of great questions! Thanks everyone!!

I got a bit creative and wanted to make a trailer that would sit on my channel page. In this video, I used videos dating all the way back to when I got my channel first started all the way until now. The first clip you see is part of a drawing I am working on for the next tutorial that will be out shortly.

In this video, I build upon what was done last video. I wanted to bring out the sky more and also bring out the far background trees. So to do this, I used a B or a 2B pencil to darken in the sky sections of the drawing. Once that was done, I used a blending stump to smooth out the area and create all the rough shadows into the clouds. After which I used a blending stump to start working in some of the cloud in full detail.

Drawing clouds can take a bit to get the hang of but with practice it will become easier. I have a full video dedicated on how to draw clouds on my channel as well. I will be linking to it at the end of the video.

Thanks a lot everyone for watching and ill see you next week with part 2!

This tutorial will take You through the steps to complete a drawing of a tree. I show you the all pencils and techniques that are needed.

Check out my facebook fan page here. http://www.facebook.com/pages/....Tylers-Art-Shack/181

Welcome back everybody, This is the continuation of how to draw trees with leaves tutorial. I recombine that you see part 1 first before this one. That way you know what is going on in this video. Also, if you have not seen my other tree tutorial drawing. That was how to draw a dead tree part 1 and 2. I recommend that you see that one before you watch part 1 or part 2 of this video.

This whole tutorial thus far has only been done with using a 4h pencil. as you can see this pencil is light and the whole tree is mainly one tone. When I divided the page or tree down the center, everything to the right will be darker than everything to the left of that line. This will help you later with the shading and overall progression of the tree.

For shading the tree darker, I used an HB pencil and a 2B pencil. Wherever I used the 4H to make a darker tone on the tree, I am going to use the HB to make that area darker. I shade darker on the right side of tree than the left. The bottom of the tree will be the darkest part of the tree. The top left of the tree will be the lightest while the bottom right will be the darkest. The area between those two parts will transition slowly from light to dark.

I start to fill in the trunk area of the tree. I fill it in using a method called hatching. That is putting parallel lines close to each other to make dark tones. I use this to help give the tree a realistic look along with some character. It mimics the bark and other details of the tree. You also want to be able to decipher where the tree trunk ends and the leaves begin.

A cool way to situate the tree into the ground is to take a dark pencil and shade where the tree trunk is. Shade in that area to give the tree a nice large shadow.

The tree is pretty much complete from this point. You can go back in and add in little details at this point. I go back in with an eraser and put some highlights in some areas to make it look like light is hitting it.

You can add some tree branches here and there around the tree to make it look like there is a tree under all the leaves. I do this by just adding little branches and cover them up with leaves. I also add a few branches sticking out of the tree as well. it sort of adds a likeness to it.

I hope you learned from this tutorial.

Besides from polishing over a few things in this video, I mainly focused on finishing up the main tree within the drawing. I wan'ted to get that out of the way so that for the next video, I would be able to clearly see where I would need to add in some finishing touches.

I used a combination of pencils for drawing in the tree. I wanted a lot of bark texture for it and a great way of using that is starting off with 2 different pencils. I used a 4H or 2H pencil and gave the tree a general shading. Then using either an HB or 2B, shade over the area to create a textured bark effect. The texture will happen as you draw. H and B pencils don't mix well so it will create a nice effect for it. Getting up towards the top of the tree, I started to draw in some branches that I will later fill in with leaves.

The leaves are very much like any other leaves I will draw. I start off with the underhand grip and work in some details in small circular motions. Ill leave little details towards the outer most branches while making more compact texture for areas with a lot of leaves.

I hope you are all enjoying the series and I hope to see you again for the next one! Thanks a lot everyone!

I started in this video by going over and describing a sketch that I had done and I am going to be using that as the basis for this drawing. I will also discuss a method of using a grid to help more accurately transfer over the drawing that was already created. I have always found that the initial sketch is the most important part of a drawing. It is the foundation and everything else gets placed on top of it. Make sure to fix any mistakes in this stage before moving forward. Once a nice solid foundation sketch has been created, some detailing can then come after. I will usually detail the elements of the drawing to an extent to help see more of what is going to take place in the drawing.

I hope that you all enjoyed part one of this new drawing series. Next part will show you the basic tonal ranges of the drawing as well as shading everything to a pretty close range of where they should be. I hope you all join me for part 2! Thanks a lot for watching everyone!!

This video shows you how I painted a beach scene using oil pastels. I use sennelier pastels because of their rich pigment and creamy consistency.


Sorry about the lighting. The black paper has an odd effect with the light and the camera kept on auto adjusting to compensate for it.

Drawing duration: 2 hours

Welcome back everyone to another drawing video and this time I draw a waterfall landscape. I started this one off with a darker outline so that it can be easily seen on video. I did it with a 4B pencil and normally I would use an HB pencil for the initial outline/sketch just so that it can be easily erased.

I started the sketch by drawing out the rocks and their general placement. I then moved on to a quick sketch of where the trees would be.

I first started by shading in the sky and then going into the leaves of the tree. To draw them, I use an underhand grip with the pencil and use a circular motion resemble the leaves. I make some spots darker than others to show volume and depth within the trees. It helps to make them look more realistic.

Once the trees were finished up I moved onto the rocks. I had to make a lot of texture to make them look realistic. I do this by using a varying amount of pencils. Use a lighter pencil to create details then go over the same area with a darker pencil. It will create a varying texture to help simulate a realistic texture.

Once the rocks were completed, I added the water and some grass on the right side of the image. That just about wrapped up the image.

Thanks everyone for checking out this video and I hope you enjoyed it!

Welcome to how to draw trees with leaves part 2.

This drawing builds off the last tutorial on how to draw a dead tree and shows how to add leaves to a tree. The approach to this drawing is much different than the last tutorial but It will help to watch that drawing before this tutorial. It will help with the anatomy of the tree and just the basic shapes.

I start off the tutorial by creating a ground to plant the tree into the ground so that it is not floating in the air. The tree is going to resemble that of a lollipop tree but after adding detail to it, it will take on a very realistic look of a tree.

For the trunk of the tree, I like to avoid in making a perfectly vertical trunk shape. Instead, I like to put it on the side or draw it on an angle to give it some more character and it separates it from other trees because it looks unique.

After the stump is in place, draw a basic light outline of what you would like the tree shape to look like. You can go as crazy as you would like with this. After the outline is completed, Use the underhand grip to hold the pencil at an angle and work the pencil in very quick circular motions. This will be the motion that you need to draw most of the tree.

I like to start out at the bottom of the tree. I start to shade it in with a 4H pencil. This pencil is very light and no matter how hard you press, it is always going to be light on the page. I use this to add some texture to the whole entire tree. This is the most time consuming part of this drawing. It took me about a half hour to do this part.

You want to start at the bottom and work your way up. Also, shading areas in groups help to give the tree a more real to life look.

After starting to shade I realize that I need to establish a light source. Deciding where this is in the beginning of the drawing is the best way to do it. Adding a light source helps to give your piece a 3 dimensional look and more realistic.

With the light source added in, The bottom right of the tree will be very dark while the top right of the tree will very light. I have also put in a center dividing line down the tree. Anything to the right of that line will be significantly darker than anything on the left of that line.

That concludes part one of the drawing tutorial. Please be sure to stop back and watch part 2 when it is up. Also check out my channel Tylersartshack and please subscribe!
