[Pwninqfull]

I wondered if this guy is trying to mAke us jeleous lol

[oandarilhocinzento]

Why this guy only talk and talk but do nothing? =(



[nlmoviefan]

he is absolutely right about the angle of the paper,i figured this out the hard way... but,and this is a big BUT...he has the model in the same place,the same light,the same shadow,the same,same,same,same,same...is there actually any artistic expression in any of his work...of course he is going to be good he's basically drawing the same picture over and over again for the last 30 years

[MatriXtyle]

Oh please, this is rubbish. Maybe it helped him but come on. You can learn how to draw no matter what position you're in.

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

Who gives a crap how you do it? Just do it.

[unimaginableenemy]

This guy is lucky,I never had the luxury of learning to draw with perfect lighting and at perfect angle sketchpads and with someone to teach you.I learned to draw from 4 years old and not paying attention in school because I was always drawing all the way to high school with a #2 pencil.If I had all this I probably would have ended up an even better artist.

[xxxsheilaxx]

Fuck that, imma great artist I could draw a perfect Mona Lisa on a sticky note while it's on his mouth!

[conrad004]

I draw flat on a desk, table, on my bed, in my arm chair, i paint on the floor, on the wall and my art is good, i have done and still do portrait and amaze friends when shown. so if your a begineer draw where ever and how ever you want.

[MrsJosephMerrick]

I wish I had a table like that. I just balance a board on the edge of table and on my lap - if too big, draw on floor. Say all you like, it does help if youve got a comfortable work surface.

[bozovideo]

I usually draw any old way if I'm sketching or doing simple line work. But I must admit, when doing detailed drawings or working for extended periods, an angled surface close to your line of sight like this really helps a lot.

[gqjade02]

I think depends to the artist....

[BeARgleVISION]

Thank you!

[Scorps90]

Good video. Great tips :D

[hyx100]

Very informative. I must admit, I mostly draw on my lap or a flat table. I'll give something like this a try. Maybe build my own version of that table.

[guipit]

you seem like a really nice guy :'D

[lostdenizen]

When he asked the viewers what kind of environment we use, I looked at my drawing environment and it's just a bunch of scattered watercolor paints and oil pastels and cloths and a manikin that I never really used that much.

[fullfist]

TRUE ! sometimes i just for fun go and draw putting my paper flat on the table and looking almost horisontaly . Then i sketch something, and it ends ub being completely distorted when you look at 90 degrees

[veaudor]

Wow! what a wonderful teacher!

[Agdid2008]

yes

[vvori]

There is a risk of demotivating beginners. It's important that they draw any time, any place, no matter what the surface is. I know lots of people who went the path of having a special table, special paper, special pen, books, etc and simpy lost interest. Drawing has to be something sponteous for beginners, not some lonely corner in the house. Anyway, that's juts my 2 cents.

[djtrendzsetta]

Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. If you practice wrong all your life, you accomplish little.

[Shadowjoe84]

I think you're both right! Sponateous sketching for getting ideas whereever on whatever and then practise in the right environment

[SolidSnake2345]

@djtrendzsetta Dude you're a pessimist as are the 12 people who thumbed up your comment. Practice does make perfect but, you have to LEARN from the practice to actually progress. So shut the fuck, just because you didn't learn anything from your practice doesn't discredit the phrase. I repeat you're just a pessimistic prick.

[AhmedOnMoment]

@djtrendzsetta What is perfect practice? Practice is Practice only when it is "Deep Practice" that is, Mistake-focused learning practice.

[DigitalCynicismArt]

When I draw on a desk, and I have a computer near in front of me, I get lower back pains when I draw when I look like I am writing, but technically drawing, but I move the canvas a lot, and the dimension turns the same. I dunno, is there any recommendations?

[lonhaverly]

Well, I think I address these issues in the video. Is your pad flat on the desk, or at an angle? Is it centered in front? 45 degrees?  You will have trouble if not.

[DigitalCynicismArt]

Sometimes I like to rotate the canvas, but mostly 40% of my time-consumption on a drawing is mostly flat on the desk.

[lonhaverly]

+YOu should leave the pad in the same position for the most oart, and if it is flat onthe table, you will have distortion.

[oroman1965]

lonhaverly is amazing, I like to draw and have picked up alot of tips from watching his videos....way to go MAESTRO...oroman_21..tampa fl

[kasumisman]

[DRIFTERLOCS13]

THATS TRUE DAMM..

[EFRW07]

Thanks for sharing your experience. "I don't have to think about what I'm going to do next" is a sentence that captures the wealth of experience you have. Thanks again.

[lonhaverly]

Well, its like tying a tie. If you think about it too much, you can't do it!

[castillorobert]

[bloodytearz22]

It must have taken you years to get that good.
