Welcome back to how to draw a landscape part 2. In this video I will be mainly going over how to start out drawing some hills or a beach in the background and some trees into the very far background. This part is very simple. All you need to do is draw some "m" like shapes for the hills/beach area. Shade that in simply, not much need for detail at this point. The trees i the background are only defined by up and down strokes. You only put in minor detail for the distance trees because after all they are very far in the background.

Next comes the reflections. I will be reflecting the tops of the mountains into the water. I start out by drawing simple lines that look like a mirror in the lake and shade them in simply. The water reflections usually are not as detailed as the mountain itself so leaving detail out is not a big deal. you want to blend them in quite well and get them nice and even.

Next comes the water. I use the powdered charcoal to get a nice even coat on the water area to get the tone down. After which I use a charcoal pencil to start putting in horizontal strokes. Add more of these marks closer to the bottom of the page. As the water reseeds into the background, add less detail into the water. It adds a sense of perspective into the drawing and shows depth.

I start on drawing in the pieces of land right after the lake is completed. Make sure the lake is done before you start to draw in the areas of land. I use the powdered charcoal to shade in the areas of land. Right after that I start drawing in lines that will be the trees. I add in a few of these trees.

Part 3 of this tutorial will cover the last of the trees that will be added in. So please come back and watch part 3!

Welcome back everyone to my first drawing video in 2013! This is something a bit different but something I have wanted to try for a while now. Drawing a bird sure did prove to be a challenge but I really did enjoy doing it! Thank you all for joining me on this one!

This drawing mainly started out with just trying to get the overall shape for the bird correct. That took me quite a bit of time considering that I am not really used to drawing birds. I had to draw a series of lines for a rough shape and then just erased the lines that were no longer needed and was left with a pretty close representation of what the bird actually looked like.

To get myself started with the bird, I used a 2H pencil and just made a general shading all over the bird just to get the tone down. It was difficult to see how the bird was going to turn out so just getting that tone down helped.

After which, I started to work on the details of the wing. This is probably the most detailed part of the bird. I had to draw a lot of straight lines which I still can't do very well at all. So I had to break out one of my french curves to help me with the line work of this one just so that it would look better in the end.

The wing and other darker parts of thebird were mainly done with a B pencil. I didn't go to dark for these areas at all.


After the bird was finished up it just came down to drawing the tree branch. These branches I think were birch branches which are easy for me to draw because of the details that they have. They tend to have very dark nots and other such details as well as dark lines going around the branch. So using a B pencil for those details then using a 2H and 4H for the overall shading, it came out pretty well.

The snow was a challenge. I had to figure out how to make it pop without shading the tops of the snow in. I ended up using a 4H pencil to shade around the tops of the snow to make them pop more. So in the end it worked out really well.

In the end this drawing was very foreign for me to try and do but I am very happy to have tried it. It came out really well and really surprised myself. Every once in a while you get one of those and it just makes drawing really fun.

I hope you all enjoyed this one and I will see you all later!

If you decide to make a vlog, post it as a video response to my video AND also do the same to Merrills original video. We need to get a large audience backing this up.


Here at youtube, there is no visual arts category. This leaves thousands of art videos with no home. They are scattered across multiple categories like howto and style, entertainment, film and animation, and education. With this massive separation in the visual artists, many of the artists dont know one another. If we can build up a gathering and get more people to help respond, we can make something happen. We need to get the art community together. Art is what adds color to the world.

I show how to draw with using value only. Its a technique to make a drawing come alive in a step by step process.

This is one of my first attempts at a still life drawing. This video I originally did quite a long time ago and re uploaded it.
The actual drawing itself is 24x18 inches on bristol vellum paper. The whole drawing is done with pastels. It took me about 4 hours to completely draw the picture.

I really have never done a still life before and thought it would be a good Idea to give it a shot and see how well it would come out.

I started out by taking a small coffee table from the other room and setting that up with a small flower vase, wine bottle and some fruit. After that, I hung a green cloth behind the whole thing and draped it over the back half of the table. So, I had a whole live setup for this drawing to draw from.

I started out lightly sketching where objects would eventually appear on the page. After that, I started to go a bit bolder with the lines to finalize where everything would eventually be placed. I drew in the back drapery first and added highlights and shadows to it to show depth and to make it actually resemble cloth. After that, I erased out where all the objects would be placed so it would be easier to put more color down. The vase was hard because it was clear and I had to show the colors from the drapery reflecting through the glass. The apple and the pear were quite simple to draw in just by using a variety of colors and using them to make the apple and pear more 3D like. The wine bottle was a bit difficult. I tried my best to replicate what was on the label but it wasn't easy. The table was simple since it was mainly a single color and just colored the whole thing in.

The music is by Kevin MacLeod and the song is called Modern Jazz Samba

Did this drawing on 19 by 24 inch paper. This was the only angle that I could do a speed drawing from. Please visit my Deviant art page to see all my other works of art including this one.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
