hello everyone welcome back to my channel I'm brushes the bunnies and in
this video I'm going to share with you the five tricks that I've been doing
over the past couple months that have improved my sketching enormously and I'm
not even joking like I've been doing this pretty much on a daily basis and
I'm just seeing some major improvements so I want to share this with you in
today's video the first tip is actually related to time and time has been a bit
of a trouble for me when I approach my sketchbook so what I mean by that is
when I open my sketchbook and I've got a brand new sheet of paper I can honestly
spend hours on one sketch and this is a normal behavior for me and something
that I've been trying to correct myself over the past few months and something
that has really helped me is by conditioning myself to do very very
quick sketches so I would open up a new page and I would say okay okay right now
you're gonna sketch and you're gonna do a sketch for five minutes only or a
sketch for ten minutes only and I try to limit myself as best as I could until I
move on to the next sketch what this will do is actually help you build your
rhythm faster it will help you develop your style and the last point for me
which is a really really big one is the fact that it actually helps you
experiment rather than have you just focus on the finer details of a sketch
so the trick to these five minute sketches is honestly keeping it very
very loose keeping it messy try to just stay away from the eraser just draw as
you go loosen your wrist have some fun experiment with a different style just
go about and and do whatever you want don't worry about the details and a lot
of beautiful things can happen when you just give yourself that creative freedom
there's no more boundaries there's no pressures there's no stress
you're just sketching very freely and it's a really really fun thing to do so
give it a try let me know in the comments below if you guys do this on
your own and what are your results
the next tip that I have for you in terms of improving your sketching is to
actually sketch and draw things that you have never done before or things that
you've always wanted to try but you are too scared to do so or you are too
intimidated to do so in this case I strongly urge you to go ahead deep dive
into this topic and you know just experiment in your sketchbook with these
sort of topics that you're just wanting to improve on or you you just don't know
how to draw but you want to now is the time to do it like literally don't wait
just do it now so what you're seeing here is me sketching some really
horrible looking men and I'll be the first one to admit I literally do not
know how to draw men and I don't have shame in that honestly I'm not afraid
to say that and to admit that and that is something that's also liberating to
think you are learning and you want to get better at it so why not just go
ahead and do it doesn't don't don't worry about what people have to say
just go ahead sketching your sketchbook and practice these topics so this is
what I'm doing I'm drawing men I'm trying to draw hands as well and
combining these two features together and just trying my best at finding or
working with the anatomy even though I'm not familiar with it so it's like it's
kind of scary but at the same time it's it's something that is it's sort of an
essential step into the learning process but at the end of the day the more that
you keep drawing the topic that you hate so much such as hands I know we all hate
to draw hands but the more that you practice this the better you will get
and there's no greater truth than that because about a year ago I was not able
to draw females at all and I practiced for a year and I got there
tip number three is all about experimentation and this is like
literally my favorite thing to do in my sketchbooks is to actually combine
different mediums together I love drawing with graphite pencils and then
adding a touch of the watercolor I think it's very beautiful and there's a really
beautiful graphical element to it as a mixed-media artist who specializes in
watercolor and pencil work I do like using both of these elements together in
my sketchbook I have a watercolor sketchbook and I also have regular ones
that I do use watercolor in but this is something that I strongly urge that you
guys do either with marker with watercolor with acrylic with oil you
guys can play with everything but the most important part is to experiment oh
and also is to get messy don't be afraid to put things together and seeing if it
will work if it gets messy that is the best part guys tip number four this is to
practice your line art don't forget about your line art line art is
important especially if you're an artist who does use line art of course
obviously but I think in general haha stupid the stupidest thing
let me just rephrase that if you're an artist who likes to add line art to
their art you should definitely find time to work on this entire line artwork
so what I like to do is use my older sketches or a sketch that I'm currently
working on and pop out my faber castell Pitt artist pen and I have
different thicknesses where I try to experiment with different weights and I
will try to find a kind of style to it and this is something I like to just do
sometimes when I just don't know what to draw then I would go back and do this on
top of my sketches also by incorporating the tips that we've already talked about
such as speed and experimentation you can really develop a style very quickly
and your hand will get stronger if you're worried about having a shaky kind
of hand when you're drawing a straight line this is something that will help
you practice that and you will get better as
go you can also experiment with different colors of line art this is
something that's really nice I do have a pink, blue and a purple pen for
sometimes if I want to do something a little bit more creative so these are
all different options that you can do tip number five kind of ties in
everything together and this is talking about background work so I don't
actually have a speed portion of this video to show you but I did want to show
you a kind of a sketchbook tour of the different types of backgrounds that I
was experimenting with so I took the sketch I colorized it and I tried to add
a type of background to it whether that background was watercolor or if it had
some additional embellished gold factors to it
I just tried to add different things the reason why I put backgrounds as a tip in
this video is because I feel like backgrounds are left out quite easily
especially if you're so focused on learning how to draw human anatomy I
tend to or I got to a point where I just didn't develop any sort of conceptual
background and this in the future is something that I really want to do and I
want to be able to have a vision for and a technical way to achieve this if I
don't practice it I will never get better at it so by trying different
colors for me especially with watercolors to add different colors
together see what kind of color combinations work with the person that
I'm drawing and seeing what kind of mood I can convey is something that's quite
important and is something that I've been actively trying to incorporate in
my sketchbooks and honestly since I've been doing this I've been seeing uhm
that the paintings that I'm doing in general have come out much better
because I'm now thinking about the overall picture rather than just the
subject so thank you so much for watching this video please do give it a
big thumbs up if you did like it it really does help me share it with your
friends and also don't forget to subscribe for more art videos or art
