In the start of the live hangout I did on my channel, I was really not sure about what I wanted to draw. So when I do not know what I want to draw, I will usually start making some shapes on the page. I start by making some series of curved lines and some straight. Just keeping things random. Then once I have a few different lines, I start to see what kind of shapes I can make from those. And from that, I start to form a composition. This is usually how I make different scenes even though I have no Idea what I want to draw. I find it another pretty good way to get out of an artists block but you also need to know the basics of how to draw objects in perspective to pull it off.

Once I did this, I created a composition of very steep cliffs. I always have a good time drawing cliffs because of how raw they can look. I always have a fun time trying to capture the rugged nature of them.

When I was in the thick of the drawing, I ended up asking my audience what they wanted to see me add into the drawing. I had about 30 people watching me live when I asked this and got a slew of suggestions. By popular demand, I ended up adding in a waterfall and changed the composition of the foreground to accommodate a river or stream.

I find it great when you kind of get stuck mid drawing and having someone to ask. In this case it was my live audience. The suggestions were all great and because of that, I was able to finish off the composition and complete the overall look of the image. I really enjoyed doing this drawing!
