All you need for this tutorial is some standard computer printer paper. I do however recommend that you use drawing or sketch paper for better results because of the tooth of the paper. It makes it a lot easier to make tones because of it. The only other tool you really need is a range of pencils. I always recommend a 2H HB and 2B. Then use a 4B or 6B for the very last detail works of the piece.

Start any drawing out with a 2H. This will be used for getting general lines down in place as well as small detail work.

For this drawing, I used the lighter pencil to start out the very base of all the leaves in this drawing. I always start light to get the placement down as well as first initial details.

After I have the very first base coat down, I will then go in with darker pencils to make more volume within the drawing. Ill do this with the branches and leaves. This also helps to bring out a lot of depth within the drawing.

After the second layer is applied, the 3rd layer is just to darken all the darks of the drawing even more. This is usually the last step needed to create volumetric shapes and forms.

After this it is really just practice. Not everybody will be able to draw this right off but give it a few tries and it will come easily.

It is all within the practice!

Hope you all enjoyed this tutorial!

Erasers

I started this with using a photo reference that I took a few years back. I printed it out and used that as a reference. If you do not have a printer, you could always use reference images from magazines or books and then just use some tracing paper on top of the image and extract the major lines that way.

I start by picking out major lines within the image to break it down. After which I use those lines in my sketch. This helps a lot with the placement of the overall objects as well.

You can also change what is in the original image. Just because it is there does not mean that it has to be that way. Of course it still can be the exact original. changing a few things up helps to make the artwork of your own creation and it helps build up your creativity.

I hope this video helped you all out and I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks everyone!

What is going on everybody, welcome to a brand new tutorial/drawing video. In this video I was just going to do a simple tutorial on how to draw a palm tree with a simple backdrop to give the scene a nice simple look. I started the drawing with putting in that light backdrop to set the scene and decided to make this a completed drawing with lots of details.

I started with the sky. I had never really made a very detailed and cloudy sky before in a landscape scene. Until recently, clouds were an element that I had a lot of trouble drawing. I had spent quite a bit of time drawing clouds in my sketch book and using that as a reference helped a lot when drawing these clouds. I started them out by using a 2H pencil and lightly shading around where I wanted the clouds to be. I usually leave the areas where I want clouds white on the page. After shading the page a bit darker I started to add in some details for the clouds. I started by using a kneaded eraser and softening the tops of the clouds while using a blending stump to blend out the bottoms of the clouds so that they blend in with the sky. I then used the blending stump with graphite all over it to start adding some shadows to the clouds themselves to give them some depth and volume. Then using a small eraser, I lightened up the tops of the clouds with a small white eraser to make them pop. With some fine tuning after this, the clouds took shape.

The next stage in this drawing was drawing in the distant rocks/mountains. I just did a simple outline for placement and shaded them in with simple tones. I didn't want to give them a lot of details because they are far back in the distance. A good way to portray that something is far in the distance, is by leaving it with minimal details. I still wanted to show that they were rugged rocks so I left them with a rough texture in the end.

The next step in the drawing was adding in the water. Water is a simple element to draw in but can be easily over done. I start in the back horizon and add strong horizontal lines close together. I space those lines out as they get closer to the picture plane. This helps to show that the water is receding into the background of the image. After I got most of the line work down, I used a blending stump to soften the water out a bit. I found that the texture was a bit too rough and wanted to calm it down a bit. I also added in a bit of reflection for the distant rocks but did not want to over do it.

Next comes the closer water details. I imagined from the start that I wanted to have a nice wave crashing on some rocks. So I started to map out where this wave would be and added some shading to it. I also showed some white water crashing around the wave as it was hitting the rocks. In the shading of the wave, I used my fine eraser and erased out some foam for details in the water.

Like I said in the beginning of the video, I wanted to have a palm tree demonstration so I had to decide where I wanted them. I wanted this image to be a dynamic landscape and the placement of these palm trees was crucial. If I had place them on the left side of the drawing near the distant rocks, it would have lead the eye right off into the horizon of the water on the right side of the page and it would also hide those rocks from the viewers eye taking away a lot of the visual interest. I did not want to lead the viewers eye off the page when they looked at this drawing. I decided that the best possible place to put them would be on the right side of the page. It was lacking in details as it was because the only object on that side was some rocks and the distant horizon line. When I was drawing in the trunk or main section of the palm trees, I was careful of the shape and direction of them as well. I wanted them lead the eye into the middle of the page where the wave was breaking on the rocks.

I got the general placement of them down and I like to draw the trunks of trees with texture. I did this by using 2 different pencils. I used a 2H pencil to draw in some horizontal details going up the trees and then used a 4B pencil to shade it. Because of the difference in tonal range between these 2 pencils, it left all that detail on the trees and also left the 2H pencil marks light making it look like highlights.

The final stages of this drawing were drawing in the palms themselves. I used a 2H pencil for the undertone and used 4B to make them a bit darker. After this it was adding in some final details for the rocks and added in some grass for the base of the palm tree.

Welcome back everyone to the Art Shack. This video I am going to cover the basics of different pencil textures and how you can apply them into your drawings.

There are literally hundreds of different textures that you can create based off of what you normally draw. Everyone is going to have their own set of textures that they will use. You can also always go on google and look up pencil textures to give you ideas of different ways to go about drawing.

Pencil textures is an effective way to create realistic details without the painful process of drawing each and every little details. Textures are there as a short cut of sorts to help bring a long the drawing process more smoothly. Once your knowledge and understanding of textures increases, you will be able to combine and change them on the fly to create new textures to suite your needs for drawing.

I hope you all enjoy this video everyone and keep up the practice! Thanks a lot for watching everyone!

Hello everybody welcome back to another drawing tutorial. This will probably be the easiest drawing tutorial I will put on youtube.
Supplies to use to participate in the drawing:
-Drawing Quality Paper
-Range of pencil tones, or school pencil
-Erasers
-Practice

This is a simple drawing tutorial. All you need to do is draw lines in an up and down like motion like sound waves in an audio file. You can make the lines larger to demonstrate distance. The larger lines will simulate larger trees along with adding details to it. This drawing sets you up for drawing in a lake type scene.

Hope you enjoyed the drawing tutorial. I will have another one very soon!

Did another one of those abstract/nonobjective art drawings. Ive done drawings like this a lot in the past and can be great fun to do. Its just doodling on an entire page with random stuff and it looks awesome in the end. It also gives a great boost in drawing technique and skill.

You can view this drawing along with all my other works of art from my deviant art page.

I get back Into OIL PASTELS!! This is what I am really known for on YouTube. In this video I show you how to draw a simple landscape scene using a simple sketch then going over it with oil pastel to add color and vibrance to the piece.

=======================================================

In this drawing, I started off with a very rough pencil sketch using an HB pencil. I roughly sketched out everything that I wanted in the picture with minimal detail. So for the mountains the the background, I just drew simple outlines for them showing very small details that I would fill in later with oil pastel. The beach line was similar to this as well, I only scribbled in a few lines showing the movement and flow.

Once I had a very basic sketch placing all the objects to my liking I then broke out the oil pastel. When it comes to landscapes, I almost always start with the sky because it is the furthest object in the background and all other objects are usually placed over it. I started with the bottom of the sky nearest the mountains and made the sky with a very light blue color and made it darker as it went up. I also left space open for clouds. I added in white oil pastel even though the paper was white because it still makes a difference and makes them look more puffy. I then added some blue and tan into the clouds to add a bit of warmth and definition to them.

Moving down the landscape the next object that was worked on was the mountains. I wanted them to really feel like they were being pushed into the background so I added a lot of blue with them. Like I was saying the video, blue helps to add atmospheric perspective into the drawing helping to push them back and add depth to the picture.

After this I added a little bit of every color I used for the sky into the water. I wanted to keep the water very light in color as well. I did not want to have a very strong blue. I kept it light by adding in a lot of white and blending it horizontally with a blending stump.

After I got a lot of the water finished, I started to add in the foreground details. I added in some of the rocks that went into the water and the trees on the banks. I used a few shades of yellows and greens for the trees and just used a tapping movement with the oil pastel to make the leaves on the trees. This helped to add depth and show form.

all that was left was adding some minimal details to the rocks and adding in a tan color for the sand. After blending in the tan color, I took a warm brown and put that down where the water met the sand to give it a "wet" look. that brought the whole thing together.

This was a simple landscape drawing I did that hopefully a lot of you viewers can follow along with. If any of you plan to make a replication of this please be sure to share it with me by adding it as a video response to this video or by sharing on my facebook page.

I hope you all enjoyed this drawing as much as I did. Have a wonderful day!!!

Welcome back everybody. This is part 2 to how to draw a tree tutorial. Last video was the tree anatomy and the basics on just how to draw one. This video is going to focus on the detail process including the shading and form.

The sketch started out by just using cylinders and manipulating the shape of it. The shading process of the tree will be using some charcoal. The name of the charcoal is Generals. And ill be using hard medium and extra soft.

You need to establish where the light will be coming from to enable you to understand where the highlights and shadows will be on the tree. Where the light hits the tree will be very light and where the light doesn't hit the tree will be very dark.

The cylinders are only there to help you understand the basic shape of the tree. You leave the cylinder shape on the page and just shade over everything.

The branches and twigs takes some practice. You almost need to twist the pencil in your hand as you are drawing.

With the last parts of the drawing, you want to keep it irregular and unique to help to replicate what a realistic tree would look like in the real world. It really helps to go out and take some reference images or go on google to find images. It is always a plus to have an image next to you to always look back to when you are stuck or dont know where to draw in something.
This whole drawing took me just over 20 minutes or so.

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

How to Draw Clouds:

In the video, I begin to show you my technique of how to draw clouds. This is something that I have come up with during my own struggles with drawing clouds. After a lot of practice, this is what the result of my cloud drawings have become. Now I can enjoy it even more because I can share it with everyone else. My method starts with just lightly sketching out where I want the clouds to be. After which I shade in with a 4B pencil in and around the areas making sure not to fill in the areas where I want the clouds to be.

Next step is to take a blending stump and blend out the whole shaded part of the sky to make it nice and smooth. Also use that blending stump to start to carry some of that shading into the bottoms of the clouds and fill in the greater part of them as well with shading.

Then take a kneaded eraser and press down with it and give it a bit of a twist on the tops of the clouds. It helps to give it that "wispy" look which helps to give it that illusion of depth. Keep doing this until all of your clouds have a nice overall appeal to them. After which all you really need to do is add in details inside the clouds which can also be done with a kneaded eraser in the same way the edges of the clouds were done.

Then all you need to do is take a fine tipped eraser and just add in some very small details here and there just to give it a bit more visual interest and then you are all set.

I hope you all enjoyed the video and thank you all for watching!

In this video, I show you how to make basic sketches for concept art. I go through all the steps that I would normally do to create different landscape scenes. These drawings that I do in the video are only done to a rough stage just to show the basics of creating form, composition, and tone values so that it can be used at a later date for reference. These types of sketches can also be done in a variety of different ways to come up with a final composition for the completed image.Enjoy!

Welcome back everyone to another drawing tutorial! This time I took on the challenge of drawing a weeping willow tree after it has been heavily requested by my audience. So I was happy to give it a shot! I have to say though, that this was one of the more complicated drawings that I have done just because of the repetitive details. But I really did enjoy doing this one especially in the end result. I thought It came out well. So I hope you all enjoy this one as well!

This drawing starts out with some guidelines for where I wan't the bulk of the choppy water to be. Once I have established that, I use the underhand grip to get the majority of the texture done. I like to create jagged edges on the tops of the peaks just to give it a bit more texture and interest as well.

Once I have everything to my general liking, I will polish things over with a blending stump and an eraser. The eraser will create some highlights for water reflections and also adding in some little details as well. I used the blending stump between everything just to smooth some things out.

Thank you all very much for watching and I hope you all enjoyed it!

This video is all about highlights, midtones, shadows, cast shadows, and reflected light. I will use an apple to demonstrate all of these and give you a basic understanding of this so that you can apply this method to other drawings.

I wanted to start out by explaining different types of lighting to show you how one light source or multiple can really change how an object looks. Using one light source is a great way of being able to clearly see highlights and shadows. Think of a highlight as a direct reflection or the brightest area of a drawing and a shadow as the absence of light. The midtones are indirect light that is illuminating an object.

Now that this has been established, the next thing is to begin drawing. Before that though, we need to understand where the highlights midtones, and shadows are. This can be difficult when looking at an object in color. So what I like to do is take a photo of the object and turn it into black and white with a filter. This gets rid of all the color and you can see the true value scale of the drawing. This helps a huge amount and this method can be used for anything you wish to replicate in pencil.

Working on the drawing now, I really only used an HB and 2B pencil for the entire piece. I began by drawing a rough circle for the overall apple shape and then the cast shadow. Afterwards, I toned the background. Keeping in mind where the lightest tones would be, I began to shade the whole apple in that tone. Then with the darker tones, I shaded the overall apple starting in those darker areas and working my way around. I want to build up layers while shading to help build up depth. This is a process that can take a bit of time and with practice, you should see some improved results.

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

This drawing is a continuation of last weeks tutorial where I took the time to show you how to draw a realistic tree using textures. In this tutorial, I will show you how to seat the tree in the ground and how to draw a simple landscape around that tree. The completed picture will be a nice little farm style landscape picture.

This tutorial starts off by drawing in grass in front of the tree. Since I am not drawing in the base or roots of the tree, I am using the grass to convince the viewer that all of that detail is hiding behind the grass.

The grass starts off as simple pencil strokes in a slight arc or angle to convey that the grass is blowing in the wind. It helps to create a likeness and realistic feel to the overall landscape. The pencils that can be used for this are a 2H for the initial sketch of the grass. An HB to shade a bit and a B or 2B to shade a bit darker.

A tool that is an absolute must for this drawing is a small eraser. I use a tuff stuff plastic eraser that is like a mechanical pencil but has an eraser instead of the graphite sticks. This tool is used to erase out single blades of grass. Erase these out contrasting to the pencil strokes. Erase in different directions to show variation in the pattern of the grass.

Once some grass is erased out of the picture, shading should be done around that single blade of grass c loser to where that eraser mark started to show that it is surrounded by multiple darker blades of grass. After this is done more grass can be drawn over the highlighted ones to show more depth.

This process is quite time consuming and takes a while to get used to. Take the time to practice drawing this before applying it to a completed landscape picture.

After a large enough patch is drawn, you can continue with the landscape picture. In this case, I decided to draw fence posts receding into the background. I used a ruler for this part of the drawing. When all of the fence posts were drawn, I used the ruler once again to draw in the wire connecting the posts to one another.

Once that was done, I took a moment to decide what the picture needed and decided to draw in a few more trees way in the background to give it some visual interest. I did this by simplifying the detail needed for a tree by a lot. This helps to show the viewer that the tree does not have a lot of detail so it must be far back into the background of the picture.

Reducing the detail of an object helps to push objects into the background.

Once that was done this picture pretty much wrapped itself up. Thanks for joining me on this one and I hoped you enjoyed it!

Welcome back everyone to another drawing tutorial. Due to the positive feedback on real time drawing tutorials. I am going to try and do more of them. I will still do some in my older fashion but it will be more of a mixed bag from here on.

Anyway, in this drawing I wanted to show you my knowledge on Atmospheric Perspective. This happens in landscapes where you can see over a large distance. As you look further and further to distant hills, mountains, and other objects they tend to decrease in contrast and detail. The further back they are, the more blue/gray they become depending upon the time of day. In mid day, they will turn more blue but in early and late evening, they can range widely in color. All the way from oranges to reds and peaches depending on the overall sky color.

The reason why this happens is because of the water vapor in the air. As light from those distant objects comes towards your eye, the light becomes distorted because of the shape of the water vapor. Because of the distorted light, a lot of light from the sky is mixed into the color of the objects which is why more distant objects become lighter and lighter. The effect is magnified significantly.

So when you apply this to drawing, you can make very believable distance within a simple landscape demonstration like this one I am drawing now. I start with closer mountains showing more texture and details while ones that are further back, I lighten the shade and add less detail and texture to push it back into the background. Increase this effect the further an object is away from the viewer.

Knowing atmospheric perspective is a great tool to help show distance in a drawing and makes them much more believable and understandable to view.

I hope this video has helped you and as always, thank you for watching and please like and subscribe! Stay tuned for next weeks video!

How to Draw Mist

During the video I seem to have an issue with the difference between clouds and mist haha. They both have very similar techniques for drawing them so that is the main reason why I was mixing them up during the video. :)

The Mist layer starts out with just using the blending stump from last video and blending out the bottoms of the mountains. Then using a combination of an eraser and a pencil, I go back in and start to erase out some cloud like shapes that will become the mist. It is then just a matter of going back in and adding some shadows to the mist and this layering effect will start to really show through creating some nice looking mist.

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

This drawing started off with a fairly simple outlining sketch of the background mountains and some of the foreground details such as the wave and the rocks on the left side of the page. I did not want to define too many things at first. I wanted to leave most of it up for interpretation for when I actually got to drawing it. Some areas of the drawing I had an original intent on how I wanted it to look but when it came time for drawing it, I decided to do slight changes here and there. So keeping a light sketch helps this process.

Once the sketch is done the sky is almost always the next step since it is the furthest thing in the background and everything else gets drawn on top of it. Even though this was more of a sunset type scene, I still wanted to keep the sky light in color. I used a lot of washed out yellows and a few oranges to get a nice calm tone going. The tone gets lighter and lighter as it hits the horizon. I also made the sky more blue towards the top of the page. I made the dividing area between these 2 colors clouds. Just to help separate them. Using the white pastel sometimes does not always do its job with sitting on top of all the other colors so using white charcoal can help that process a lot. The white charcoal can really show up much better and helps with drawing in the clouds with the strong whites.

Next area I drew in was the mountains. I had a difficult time getting the right shades in and took some practice to figure out how to do it the way I wanted it to look. The distant mountains I added a lot of blues and purples into to help push it into the distance. I also used some yellows and greens to add just a hint of highlights to them.

The closer set of mountains I used a lot of black to really silhouette them out. But for the areas where I did highlight them, I used more of an olive green instead of an emerald green just to fit the sunset tone that the image had. Colors are going to be much warmer for the highlights because of the sunset.

The closer hills I filled in with vegetation. Used several varying shades and colors of green to create the vegetation. I also used a lot of black to create some of the rocks that make their way down to the beach. And shades of brown for where the water meets the dirt and rocks.

Adding in the water I used shades of dark blue with some purple and dark green. And used black to darken the whole thing down and then blended horizontally to create the water. I added in highlights by where the sun was setting.

The large wave I used several shades of dark blue and a lot of the white charcoal again to really punch those highlights. I did the same for the foam on the beach. For the sand I used quite a few shades of tan and brown for where the foam meets the sand.

I added in a few rocks on the beach to add in a nice touch. The left side of the page was filled in with mostly rocks and a few bushes. I finished up the image with some palm trees mostly silhouetted out. Added in just a hint of color

How to Draw Mountains

The mountains start out by lightly shading in the highlight and shadow sides of the mountain. Keep the shadow side rather dark and keep the highlight side lighter. When all the mountains have some shading in them, you will be able to tell much more easily how they are going to end up looking towards the final stages. Using a combination of H pencils and B pencils. I add a lot of texture along the way to really give the mountains a lot of details. This takes time and constantly going back and forth between pencils and erasers to get the desired effect.
Remember, it just takes time and practice. But most of all, drawing takes patience.
Thanks everyone for watching!

I know many of you have been asking for colored tutorials and I hope that this series will be a great addition to my tutorials on the channel. This one will be about how to draw a sand dune beach scene with pastels. This first episode will mainly be about drawing in the sketch. You will primarily only need an HB or 2B pencil for the sketch and perhaps an eraser to fix any quick mistakes.

I did not use the grid method like I did for a lot of my other real time videos. The composition was simple enough to transfer over without too many issues. My other real time drawings had a lot more detail and needed more careful attention to placement. Although the composition is rather simple, there still will be a pretty good amount of detail added into the drawing.

I hope you all enjoyed the drawing and ill see you all next time for part 2 where I start to draw in the sky in pastel.

Welcome back everyone to a video where I talk about the basics of pencils and the pencils that I use. A lot of different pencil brands work just fine but Faber Castell is what I use. Here is a list of the Pencils that I have and Use.

6H 4H 2H HB B 2B 4B

Mechanical Pencils

2 of each: .7mm .5mm .3mm
I have 2H and B for most of them that I use.

Clutch Pencils

6H 4H 2H HB 2B 4B

Faber Castell Graphite 2mm Refills found off Ebay
Rosetta Clutch Pencils off Ebay

Going for clutch pencils or regular pencils personal preference. They are very similar but both have their advantages.

Kimberly 9XXB Drawing Pencil
This is the one I was talking about in the video that is almost black and has no shine while drawing.

I just want to let everyone know that in my experiences, any "artist drawing pencils" are pretty good. Faber Castell is just the name brand that I have gotten used to seeing and using. Also I use a range from 6H to 4B because of the camera and making sure that anything that I draw will show up on camera. Anything lighter than 6H has a hard time showing up on camera and anything higher than 4B has a lot of shine.

I hope you all enjoyed this video that gives you a little bit of information about drawing pencils and which ones that I use in drawings. Next video I will be talking about general use and textures that you can use to help in your drawings.

Thanks for watching everyone!
