How To Draw Anything

[CruelMaple]

my conclusion- i cannot draw, i will never be able too. I will never find an interesting hobby besides videogames. :(

[ming712jian]

It is so annoying?.

[TheBovasianosChannel]

I came here by searching "1111". WTF?

[AlxanderBrd]

You're a better teacher than the one im payin17,000 a semester for... maybe now i'll pass art and never have to take it again.. yay

[HotChickenWings55]

HOLY SKETCH!!! I wish i had an eraser that big 6:56

[memyselfandi962]

@HotChickenWings55 you can get some for about $2. they are the mold able erasers, and they erase amazingly! :)

how to i learn how to draw WITHOUT SPENDING A FORTUNE?????

[pumkin54]

I have the adult DVDs. And straight up, they taught me how to draw. I went from never having really tried before to doing still lifes that I'm actually proud of. And it happened quickly, I'd say after 4 or 5 practice sessions. And the confidence I gained from it allowed me to venture into oil paints without hesitation. It's easy to forget some of the little tips Larry Gluck gives you or decide you can skip them, but go back about once a year and review. This is 5-star video method.

[MusicChannelx3]

i go to one of his art schools.. it's great.

[haein26]

Thank you, this video is very helpful! Larry gives a very clear explanation and understanding of how to hold your pencils and how to build a sketch. Thank you very much!:)

[zekehooper]

a lefty. I read where people thatare left handed find it easier to do art. Is that true? I am right handed and find it difficult todraw the way I wish I could. And is it better to just draw things that ispire you or should you try to draw everything?

[iLoveTurtlesHaha]

@zekehooper Learning to draw is more about learning to see than anything else, anyone can learn to do that. I've seen great artists who were right handed, so don't let that discourage you. As for drawing things, try to draw from real life, if it inspires you then you'll be more inclined to do it over and over until you get it. You should be drawing at minimum 1 drawing a day (I am also learning and I do 12 a day). Good luck :)

[Cerbethys]

thanks, sir!

[cat12811]

this is supid i wasted 10 mins and 1 sec for nothing you ow me

[itachi150101]

amazing, thanks alot i drew a face and i was really surprised how good it looked

[dude12345274]

thank you!

[348Silva]

For those that are ambidestros, used the right hand as the same. Methode of learn to draw in 3 steps, is very compreensive, teach to learn and learn to teach, is my favourite concept of Teaching in every area of knowledge, simplified, it works in all professions,

in all world, independant of country.

[anythingnew]

OMG left hand....

[Hedgehogs4Me]

I tried this and it's very frustrating. Am I just not meant to be an artist, or what?

[NamiNomiCupcakeStar]

@Hedgehogs4Me Keep trying! Don't give up :>

[iLoveTurtlesHaha]

@Hedgehogs4Me Most things are challenging when you first try it. It is normal to get frustrated, but if you keep at it, you'll soon be able to do it. Think back to when you were a kid and learning to write the letters of the alphabet. You were frustrated then too, but you eventually got it because you kept trying, it's the same really. It's more about learning to see than learning to draw, you just have to practise hand-eye coordination.

[Shadowangel691]

what type of pencil is that?

[rorygirl]

Absolutely fun! I learned so much in just handling the pencil. Funny thing is I had recently bought an easel to draw, but, hadn't got around to using it yet. Now, I'm so motivated. Thank you. ;)

[ThePivoter1]

you are an artist

[yamaha4888]

how do you hold the pencil if your drawing on a table for instance?

[wellesradio]

@yamaha4888 the short answer is don't. long answer: At least not if you're drawing in charcoal. Pick up the pad and lean it against the table. Or place it on an easel or just cradle it in one arm while you're sitting. The key is to get that full circular range of motion from the arm. You're scanning the subject with your eyes and pulling lines across the paper to get the shapes. On a table you'll be drawing with you wrist and have less mobility, which is ok if you're doodling.

[lcabosa]

@yamaha4888 easy, just rope urself to the celling... a ironic question deserves anoter.

[okwon0109]

man! dude! how u draw like that?!

[okwon0109]

u rovk!

[elfanzo95]

i think it all makes sense and everything but i dot know how to acually do it

[narcovice]

this is a very good video but he sketches far to fast with the vase but then again its a good teaching method

[vidmasterJohn345]

this is a beautiful way to draw! thank you very much for this, it relaxes me and i dont get frustrated anymore! this has taught me paitence, relaxation, and to live freely. thank you

[TigerMonkeyLightning]

oddly enough this helped me a little...

[iDraw3G]

@TigerMonkeyLightning How is it odd that an instructional video helped you?

[fahimuk]

AWESOME artist! i learned alot of this video and artist. I learned how to hold the pencil! thnx for this great video!

[trishkellytrishkelly]

is he left handed? does this mean we place the pencil on our left hand and carry it with our right for us who are right handed?

[AHITTOW]

Yes, Larry is left handed, but for the video he is showing you how to do it if you are right handed. So, if you are right handed, place the pencil in the palm of your left hand and pick it up with your right as he shows in the video.

[Opisthotonos]

thats exactly the opposite of what hes doing, but okay..

[Borzoi0113]

The instructors at Mission Renaissance are amazing! I've been going five years, and I seriously doubt I would be this far along without it.

[killer4games1]

i use a led pencil with 0.7 led does it matter what i use to draw plz respond thank you

[AHITTOW]

Like the earlier response to DrawingStar, you can use a regular pencil for this video, but it is recommended that you use a soft charcoal pencil or even a stick of willow charcoal. This video is only an introduction to what Larry Gluck has to offer on his courses.

[killer4games1]

the thing thats hard for me is that i tilt my paper about 40 degrees which it makes it hard for me to keep the paper front in my face because its not straight plz hints

[AHITTOW]

Your paper should be perpendicular to your line of site and set so that the elbow of your drawing arm is free to move about. This is explained in more detail on his complete Art of Drawing Course. You should check out his site for more details on that.

[DrawingStar258]

does it matter if I use a regular pencil? If not, I'll try to find a charcoal pencil someday.

[AHITTOW]

Sorry for the delay in responding - even though he is teaching with a charcoal pencil you can use a regular pencil too.

[nathy000001]

good video

[Kyuubi1589]

I love to draw..Wish i could do this, and now i can! tHANKS!

[bouncypigeons]

I've been a student at Mission Renaissance for about a year and I've learned SOOOO much. The BEST!

[ericember]

Great video, I am starting classes with his instruction studio, Mission Renaissance this month!

[mikehedge]

great tutorial!

[Falandorn]

Awesome 5 stars thanks :)

[75Corey]

amazing.

[ladyspade777]

I took classes with Larry Gluck in LA and my skills improved dramatically. I highly recommend this video if you want to improve your skills!

[OTBOUND]

The earlier comments are so true! This guy really shows you how to draw literally anything. I'm definetly buying his DVD courses.

[jasminannette]

For years I have been looking for a video like this. Larry Gluck is a great teacher. He assumes nothing and just teaches what is really important. I had no idea there was a way to teach people how to draw! Larry Gluck RULES!

[robocopone]

Fantastic video! I've never seen anything like this. It's so simple and I was able to draw something the first time!

[LindaElizabeth77]

This is a great video I really got a lot out of it. No one has ever made it so simple to draw something.
