Stephen: there are two types of pen, fiber and ball. Fountain pen: "Am I a joke to you?"

Nothing like going back to the basics every now and then!? After watching one of your other videos i have realised that i am definitely only drawing with my fingers! Not even with my wrist most of the time! I can immediately notice to difference now that practice drawing 'from my shoulder' ! Still in progress because I thought I would have no control ?! It has greatly improved my efforts ! ❤

Exactly what I needed. Ty.

Yours are the very best videos. I live alone & try to doodle/draw every day and would become very frustrated. Your teaching, lessons, have helped me tremendously and my shaky hands are far more “creative” than they were. Thank you. Thank you.

Very underrated channel.

Thank you Stephen!!! Your videos and teaching style are incredible! As someone having recently started their artistic journey, I cannot express my gratitude enough!

Thank you, youtube algorithms! This video just popped up. I seem to get every artist on my homepage, but your videos are new to me. The ten tips are very helpful, even after taking drawing classes you offer new tips: smaller nib for distance, using pen to measure angles, etc. Thank you!

You have great content. Straight to the point and out of the box, simple and clean. Keep up the great work! I am learning a lot.

This is so good. Easy fixes that will make a huge difference. Thank you!

Not a second of wasted time in this video. Cheers!

The best course !! I love all the hitns, thank you so much. I will practice them.

The first point was a revelation for me! I recently got into pen drawing and expected that all drawing pens have quite a liquid flow, so I’ve accidentally bought the fiber nib and thought mine were just faulty! Glad to see what their advantages are :)

Brilliant ! Thank you so much ☺️

Brilliant. You're not only a good artist but also a good teacher.

Only lately find out this wonderful channel, great teacher! Highly appreciated each of your videos. Thank you very much!

Always enjoy and appreciate sharing your knowledge that helps my improvement. Thank you Stephen

Excellent, clear, practical and no extra fluff. Great thanks

Another fantastic lesson. Hope you realize that any type of educating would suit you, even if KZfaq is the only method of distributing that knowledge. You’d fit right in a classroom as teacher.

Directly to the point, thanks for the tips!

Thank you for making this video! I find it very helpful!

I loved your tips. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent ❤

Exceptional teaching and subject matter, so glad I found this channel! ❤

Thank you for another excellent lesson!

Excellent tutorial....I learned so much! I can't wait to view your other videos. Thanks.

Every video of yours is a WOW moment for me. Thanks.

Muchas gracias por sus enseñanzas

Wonderful help, thanks so much....I appreciate all your tips and videos.

thanks man, you are great 🙏

Just found tour site….love the tips! Thank you .

Once again very helpful thank you ! 😊

Perfect. Hope to start on pens soon. Good day!

The shadowing lines technique made my pieces definitely add more depth and realism to it. This is a great video.😊

Great tips Stephen. Have you done a video on value and relative values and how you approach those with hatching/line work ? I’m just starting to play with value in ink whereas I understand it well in pencil. Blending would be a good topic to cover too.

I tend to draw very literally what I see, so that little tip about leaving some space around objects in the foregeound was maybe the biggest tip in this entire video! Will certainly be revisiting this channel.

yes!!! i've always been good at drawing portraits of people in scratch papers...more like doodling! i've always wanted to pursue watercolor but i never got good at it...just had a sudden epiphany how i've always been good at drawing with a pen...and thought about what if i pursue that! i found your channel!!! i feel hopeful!

Thanks for sharing all these valuable tips. Very generous...its a big transition from pencil to ink!

Some fantastic tips for beginners very well explained.

Thank you

Helpful as usual!

Some good effects with pen and pencil, tone.

Great video you are a wonderful teacher.

Very helpful; thank you

Nice tips, thank you 🙂

I recently came across your channel and I’m loving it. Your instruction with your channel with all your tips and tricks are so easy to understand and to follow along. Have you ever written any books? If you haven’t you should. I’m benge watching all your tutorials.. Could you recommend any good drawing/sketching books to read for beginners and also are there any good books in perspective drawing?

Thaank you

Great teaching content as always. Many thanks. I guess the answer to this question is ‘it depends…’, but generally do you use the same width liner for hatching as used for the drawing, or a smaller / lighter one?

Thank you again ✨🎨🦘

I love drawing and your advice is helpful to me-- Sanjoy from India 🙏🙏

Good 👍 and useful 👍 tank you

Thank you. Just starting out. I'm terrible. But this helps.

Fantastic ❤

Thank you sir 🙏💖

"There are Fibre nib pens and ball point pens " There there fountain pen, don't cry. I still love you. ;)

05:44 that! I never stressed about wrong lines as long as I correct it

Really appreciate your approach! Your demos are excellent and very encouraging! Thanks. Copic markers are not lightfast. The Peabody Museum at Yale tested markers for lightfastness years ago. The lightfast ones are the Pitt Artist Pen (Faber-Castell) and Micron pens (Sakura), but the Pitt pen was the only one they recommend for specimen marking, because the Micron pen smears when the acrylic sealer was applied over it.

Very useful.. 🥰

You're such a good tutor SIR❤❤🎉

I am so happy I found your channel. I am noticing teeny circle of ink where I first start my lines. Am I pushing down a little more to cause this? I am wondering how to minimize this.

I just starter.thank

Very nice

I love this! I need help! I'm just starting to learn to draw and I'm 68 years old and need help!

I recently bought a set of fibre tip fineliners for pen drawing. Staedtler so a good make. The second time I went to use them the nibs were all dry, I was horrified but had only used them once (and only some of them) so knew they couldn’t have run out already. They’d been left at an angle, tip upward, as per the packaging design for while in use (a kind of built in prop in the case). I stood the pack upside down and after a while they revived. I now have the pack standing upside down at all times, ok but not terribly convenient! This doesn’t seem like it should happen so easily, is it normal in your experience?

👍

Woah if maybe i also listen to my math class i might also undertand the topic

I wonder if you visualize before drawing something, especially complicated ones?

I held one of those copic pens today. May I also be fortunate someday to own one.....aaaahhhhhh

And fountain?
