  • Thank you.

    These videos are really helpful and interesting.

    As a real novice I would have liked the teacher to slow down.

    Still very helpful I learnt a lot and would recommend this series of videos.

  • @russocollection Thanks for the kind words. There are longer videos at the BarnstoneMethod website. Check it out and let me know what you think.

  • Thanks for your interest... Great News! 30 hours of training video on DVD is coming in the next few weeks. We will also be providing a membership site with full 24/7/365 video access to all the Drawing lectures and resources. Along with that Myron just sent the first part of his book off to the publishers.

    Go to the barnstonestudio [com] website - sign up for the podcast or email list so you will know when the DVDs and book are available.

  • this guy is the real deal! thank u for sharing this video!

  • this guy needs to slow down i had to replay that 3 times to get the 7 concept seconds...horizontal vertical fingernail vertical horizontal ring fingernail u want to see your thumb nail diagonal diagonal point to point..maybe he doesn't want people to know or might be the type to smack students in the back of the head..but regardless of the sucky teaching....i did indeed learn this very powerful simplistic secret to drawing, so much thanx...but teaching is not a rocketship

  • @SaMiOK1 totally agree dude. i have just started trolling this whack job charlatan.

  • @Vixref me too and i got it as soon as i saw it even though he is right handed

  • @TheMagesApprentice 1) SIT UP STRAIGHT. 2) Push your seat back 3) Slide your sketch pad so half of it is on the tap and the other half is off. 4) Grab the top of the sketch pad 5) Pivot the sketchpad to a 45 degrees 6) replay the video 7) Make an Intelligent Mess - aka practice drawing. Enjoy.

  • What if you're drawing on a sketchpad that is placed flat down on the table. It's difficult to hold the pencil in this way. So how would I hold the pencil under these circumstances?

  • This is good enough to fap to. In fact...

  • Good enough advice. Really don't like the teaching style. Tone down the aggresion please; it's very off putting.

  • i draw better than anyone i know and i draw underhand soo,,,

  • he scares me : (
