Yes absolutely i agree

Thanks so much! Yes, I think there are highly visual thinkers who have a hard time learning verbally. If only they taught visual thinking in schools it would help so many people.

@@robertsarchitecture you’re welcome! I agree that visual thinking is a valuable aid to learning. I look forward to your next video!

If only you'd had that one great teacher when you were young!!

@@Gr88tful true. 👍

Thanks for the encouragement! Will do!

Leonardo was vastly superior to Michelangelo. He did abandoned commissions, for a far greater cause, Wisdom. His notebooks reveal a glimpse into a mind far beyond the comprehension of the pitiful Michelangelo. @@NilSatis1983

Michelangelo did surpass him, he was way faster. Leonardo was strong but as a runner Michelangelo left him in the dust. Fun fact: Michelangelo was a 2x all American track and field athlete at UT (University of Turin)

@@digitaldaemon74 Read Leonardo's Note Book, then you will see who is the more superior. Leonardo's concern wasn't speed, he was lost in the moment, art or science.

@@OmegaPointZen 🤣Okay.

​@@digitaldaemon74I mean Leonardo was not interested in art itself. He was more interested in science

Thanks so much!

I’m obsessed with DiVinci! Brilliant man.

Thanks! Will do!

Yup, the procreate app for the iPad is the sketchbook up today!✍🏽

Yes. Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Silverpoint is a silver wire: www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/zecchi-genuine-silverpoint-for-drawing-2mm-diameter Also to use on paper you need to coat the paper with a medium. I use a casein (milk) chalk ground: www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/sinopia-chalk-ground-casein-gesso-for-silverpoint-16oz-approx-500ml

It’s a bit of an effort to set yourself up to do silverpoint but it’s worth the slight expense and time… the line is like no other medium. On a screen it might look like pencil but it’s very different and much more beautiful. Over time the metal traces oxidise and the colour becomes very mellow and seductive. Most metals can be used to make a ‘point’ for example copper or even gold and you only need a tiny scrape of it, usually set in a pin vice or clutch pencil. The secret is to get the ground right but even a thin layer of gouache or even poster paint will work. I’ve even done drawings using toothpaste as a ground when on holiday! If your of an enquiring mind, do try it, it’s a tradition well worth joining up with…

@@paulklee5790 Does common white gesso,work for silverpoint drawing please?

Use your logic. Of course you are benefited being ambidextrous! I can't use my left for anything! Also, lefties and ambidexterous people,are better in sports or arts, than the common man. You probably cant realise the big advantage,because you never was a non ambidextrous. Youre blessed

The ability to think three dimensionally is useful mostly in sculpture where you need to rotate an object in one's mind. In the Renaissance silversmiths used to make the mold for coins backwards then cast the coin or sculpture forwards. This is why, I believe, Leonardo could do this. Because he was trained by Verrocchio who was a goldsmith and sculptor. Anybody can learn how to do this, but obviously some people are better than others.

@@robertsarchitecture Thank you for your reply & heart. I'm sure if someone put their minds to it they could do both; as an example Rafael Nadal's uncle taught him to be a left handed tennis player & he won many championships. There are so many other issues that can apply in my case, autism, ADHD (some form) & whatever else lol. Stay well

The traditional way to learn how to draw is to take an object an draw it 100 times in all different styles, drawing tools, and different light. The story goes that Verrocchio gave young Leonardo a bone to draw. He drew it over and over until he was a master at drawing. You don't need to draw something as boring as a bone, but I suggest this drawing exercise if you are learning to draw. Hopefully after drawing something 100 times you will be an expert.

@@robertsarchitecture The way your colours look (more lifelike and muted) is what I struggle trying to achieve that.Colours look bright on my paintings,which make the end result look like kids drawing! Thanks for the replyI really appreciate it.

He definitely studied anatomy and used real models, but he also made up a lot too.

Same here

Yes. Definitely. Everyone can learn to draw. It is just like learning how to write, or learning a musical instrument. Check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i6eqfcZhu9-Vco0.html and this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNlzjamg2rSqc4k.html

@@robertsarchitecture thank you very much for your answer, I'll work hard to make it possible ✨.

This is actually a paper bag from a grocery store. They also sell this as wrapping paper for shipping. You can buy fancy pastel paper at art stores in this color, but paper bags work just as well for this technique.

@@robertsarchitecture Thank you.

He might have a learning disability as he suggests is a precursor to being ambidextrous

I have to disagree. Please check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8WBashyyafRpI0.html
