Hello and today I want to talk about drawing the line some ways to improve this could apply it to those that are more advanced
But this is mostly for beginners. So I'm going to show you some ways that I improve one way
I like to practice them for drawing lions is to this draw a lot of them
and they'll continuously draw them over and over and over of
varying lengths and
Angles, so say for example, I'm drawing a line in this direction. I
Don't want to get in the habit of only being able to draw a lions in that direction. I
Want to train my muscle memory in my hand in my eye coordination to be able to draw lines. Not only in that direction
but also at different angles a
Great way to practice this is to imagine a circle
Such as the shape of the Sun
Now what I'll do here is I'll draw lines
Going all the way around it all
360 degrees
This will help your eye and hand coordination
practice drawing the lines in different directions
another great way to do this is
To make sure that when you're holding the pencil you don't have your grip too tight, for example
If I'm drawing something that is very detailed. I might have my pencil like this if I'm drawing very energy getting small lines
But if I'm drawing something more loosely
I'll let up on the pencil and hold it back farther at the body of the pencil or the pen
Such as I have here
so with
Elusive grip and holding them pinned back farther. I can get longer lines because I'll be drawing with my entire arm
Rather than this drawing with my wrist
So I'll give an example comparing drawing with your wrist with your hand choked up on the pen like this
Versus a more relaxed way of holding the pen. So here's an example holding it up close you
See as I do this I can't really draw lines that are that long
Because when I go any further than here
My hand doesn't move when your others have to move my entire arm
So holding the pen like this will give you much more control
But it's more important to be used for what I'm drawing detailed and small lines
Or as for example if I'm drawing and it went a longer line
That goes across the paper. And for example, say I'm sketching or want something wheat to be more expressive
I'll hold the pencil at the body part and I'll relax on the grip of the pen
Here's an example
As you can see here because I was using my entire arm
I'm able to move all the way across the paper
And I'm not choked up on the pencil and holding off from the pencil very hard. I can get a much looser writing experience
But at the same time you don't have as much control as you have when the pencil is held like this
It's a lower part to where you have more control of the pen now
Depending on what pen and pencil are using some of these techniques may or may not work
For example, if I'm using ISO graph or something that requires you to hold the pencil at a vertical angle
This won't be very useful because with the rotary ISO graph
You're always gonna have to hold the pen it more of a vertical angle
So that you don't damage the nib and also because the ink flow
This can also apply to fountain pens and other types of pens that require an ink flow to the end of the pen
But with something like a fine liner or pencil this can affect your drawing experience. How shading looks
The width of your liance and your overall final image another way of practice drawing lines to improve how fast that Jordan
Is to do cross hatching, for example, I'll draw lines in one direction and then I'll go over them in the other direction
So I can practice shading as well
This can give you an effect of a shading look to the drawing
Even though you're not actually shading as you will do with pencil and graphite
Here's an example
So I started drawing my lines
And as I'm doing this if I keep practicing over and over I can start going from very slow like that
To going much faster to where I can get the lines lined up
Much more quicker than doing this
You need to keep doing that a lot
You'll train the muscle memory in your hand and your iron coordination to be able to draw these
Over and over and you can get drawings done a lot quicker
And this can be very helpful for when you're doing cross hatching. Here's another example
So I'm going to practice some cross hatching and show an example that so I'm drawing lines in this direction
And as you can see, I've got them lined up in space style pretty much all evenly
Now if you're a beginner and you've just started you might start doing this and it'll look like this
Now there might be spaced out different and they might not all have
Straight lines that are all even such as like this as you can see here in this example
The line is broken up and it doesn't go all the way across the paper and that
Can be due to your hand and eye coordination and muscle memory there hasn't quite trained yet to be able to draw lines
consistently all the way across
Also if you're drawing with graphite and other
Pencils or say charcoal you're going to be pressing on the surface a lot
So if you come from a background of drawing with a graphite a lot and you switch over to using pins
The experience is going to be a lot different and you're going to be used to pressing on the paper
so make sure that when you're drawing with pins such as fine lighters or
Microns or maybe a virtual master graph even make sure you're not pressing that hard on the paper
You want just enough pressure to put the ink to the paper? And that's it
An exception of this rule would be for drawing with a ballpoint pen
because ballpoint pens require you to
push onto the paper slightly
with more pressure or less pressure
Depending on the fact that you're wanting it get so for example
If I have a ballpoint pen and I push on the paper harder
I'm going to get more ink flow. Whereas with a fineliner. You always want to press with the same
consistency and pressure all the time
Also when you're drawing lines, you want to improve make sure that you're not drawing no short tiny lines like this
but I'm just drawing lines that are much longer and
Also going to other directions don't just start from the bottom
practice drawing from the top because what happens if you continue to draw from say the same direction all the time and
let's say for example, I'm you know, what to draw a part of an eye or
Shade something around an eye
For example such as this as you can see here, all the lines are going the same direction
Now depending on what you want to draw. This could be a good effect
But the same time you want to practice drawing to where you can make your lines in the other direction
You don't want your muscle memory to be in the habit of only being able to draw in one direction
Because there will be times where light will be going in a different direction
Such as this or that way and you're going to need the crosshatch
To get a different look to it for example, say I have a circle here
And the line the light is coming across in this direction
Now to shade this
if I was only able to draw say for example in this direction, I
Wouldn't be able to get as much detail and everything as it could if I was able to draw in different
directions with my lines so for
example
I'm cross hatching and I've got all my lion star lined up and
Then go like that depending on the light source because here it's darker
So you're gonna have more?
hatching lines that way
Now as you can see here because all the lines I'm only able to draw in that direction
I can't get as much depth and realistic look to it. So to improve that what I'm going to do is
Have my circle and so now what I want to do is draw my lions and varying angles and directions
So now I have that and now I'm going to go in with more lines going the other direction
And then I can vary this again to get more shading on the side
In in another direction that is different than the ones that going this way or this way and because of that
If you look at it it acts as going like this
And because the lines are this way and this way what I can do is draw lines in that direction or that direction
For the shading. So what I'm going to do is draw the lines in
this direction to get some shading on the bottom side and
As you can see here that gives you a shading look to your circle
which you couldn't do if all you were doing was drawing lines in one direction as
I've done here
So now that I've practiced being able to draw lines in different directions and not only being able to draw this direction
This will help me. For example if I'm doing figure drawing or
say I want to draw something realistic or maybe simple shapes even so let's say you're having a problem drawing and you just started and
You can draw all your lines in this direction. And naturally that's just the direction your hand is able to go and
So let's say you want to draw a square
And you want it to look 3d?
so you
Put your pins to the paper. You start to draw and
You go to draw your box and you have trouble getting things lined up because you're having a hard time
Trying to draw things at different angles and going in different directions
So as you can see here you'll struggle to draw something as simple as a square
whereas if you keep practicing a whole bunch
Drawing lines of different directions you'll be able to draw, you know, something as simple as a square
There's no problem and you can do it three dimensionally and it won't be as difficult for you
And this is going to be very important for you. If you want to improve your drawing to draw things more realistically
Because if you know as I said before if you can only draw your lines in one direction
Then it's going to be very difficult for you to try to imagine things three dimensionally
Because as you can see here now that things are more lined up and it Mabel to draw lines in different directions properly
I'm able to make a
3d cube
Which can be useful if you're drawing something say such as the human face or the anatomy
Because it'll allow you to have an under under drawing
such as that sketch was pencil if you're gonna start going into the ink after it it's where you'll have the under drawing that will
Help you for when you do your final drawing at the end. And so if I I to line things up here
On this cube. You see how everything's off
nothing is lined up properly because
If you just haven't been practicing enough
You're not going to be able to draw those lines and their proper alignment in different directions as I said before
so
That's going to drastically change the way you're capable of drawing things
From doing perspective figure drawing hyper realism and maybe you do abstract whoever it is
So I guess a way to explain this to practice drawing this would be to just you know
Just imagine the Sun and low light rays coming off of it in different directions. Just
Practice drawing these over and over, you know, just make a circle and then
Practice drawing lines in all the other different directions and you can just do it with you know
different shapes you can do squares
practice those and they do triangles and then maybe you know you can just
Do circles a circle would be a great way to practice because you're forcing your hand to go in all
360 degrees all different directions whereas if you're just drawing squares
You're just going in a couple of different angles in different directions. So
Practicing drawing circles is going to help you a lot as well and very it Jotham large Jones small jaw, you know like ovals
draw ovals in different directions
And that's going to help your hand in iron coordination so that you can draw things a lot better. You're not fucking disruptive always
feeling like you're not improving and
this is what's helped me a lot when I first started drawing because that was unable to draw things for example, and
Know this direction. I was always able to draw things this way and this way
but I struggled drawing from the right to the left and
if you keep practicing that you'll be able to draw things in different directions and
This this comes down to muscle memory and coordination. So just keep practicing it and
Keep doing it over and over and a lot of repetition
It's gonna be a lot easier for you. I
