Thank you, you say many good things and show a lot of truth. I believe that this slow precision is the best way to know and control oneself in the act of drawing and painting. Everyone can try and understand. We need to go back to our roots to take to the sea and ride the waves of the new sea that awaits us out there, always. Thank you again.

I've seen lots of videos on how to draw, but I've never seen this particular method demonstrated before. Your detailed step-by-step instruction really sets you apart as an instructor. While watching this video, I had sort of a reflective spark. What if you just stopped after completing the first stage of the drawing, leaving just straight, connected lines defining the shape of the objects? Leaving out the refinement stage and curved lines would abstract the forms into highly stylized, angular shapes. The shadows, highlights and other details could also be handled in this way. Leaving steps out or subverting the "normal" function of a brush, can often lead to other ways of thinking about your subject. Thanks again for your efforts. I'm looking forward to seeing other videos like this!

Thanks, Keith. You are very welcome. Yes, I think you are right, envelope lines and even bounding box lines can form ways to abstract shapes, or fracture space. Hope it helps you explore some new ideas! And thank you again for the kind comments, it will certainly help encourage me to do more videos :-)

This is the most useful and clearly illustrated video I have ever seen on drawing fundamentals. You excel in your presentation format by making it highly interesting and cover all aspect throughout without skipping over important details which could leave the viewer lost and confused. Thank you for your efforts and taking the time to make such an informative video.

Awesome. Thank you so much. It is tricky to know what level to pitch things at and whether they will resonate, so even a single comment like this really helps. It is really motivating to get such encouraging feedback, so a huge thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!!

This is great Pete, thanks for making it. I've tried grids before but find them frustrating. This method makes miles more sense. I can't wait to try it.

@gingerfreak01 You are very welcome. Yes, I agree. I never really found gridding to be particularly helpful. I find it confusing and I focus on the grid instead of the drawing

What an interesting and informative video. Thank you so much for producing it. I can clearly see how this method could be very helpful for still life set ups, as you demonstrated. Do you think it would be as useful in the field, for drawing buildings or landscapes from life for instance? I think I might struggle relating a bounding box on the subject to the correct position and size on the paper. However, some of the concepts could be carried through, and I am certainly going to give it a try. I would be very interested in seeing more of these instructional videos from you. How about ones related to colour and also tone? The videos of your paintings are also very interesting. Thanks again for producing this.

Thanks, Joy, most kind of you! Yes, you can use this when doing an observational drawing of any subject - still life, figurative, or landscape. The bounding box is only ever approximate, but it helps to simplify first. In a complex scene, you may need to carefully squint to really see the big simple shapes, but if you can focus on those you should get a solid structure first, before focusing on details. Thanks for the ides for future videos, there will be plenty more to come :-)

Thank you :-) I mainly used Realistic Paint Studio realisticpaint.com/. It is a great little app, has some of the best dry media brushes, and is quite fun. Available for PC and iPad!
