I'm 55 years old and recently diagnosed with Cancer, but I decided now to start learning how to draw and enjoy art and your videos are a large part of my learning process. Never too late to learn. Thank you.

I like your style, and I also think that you are excellent at explaining how you draw. Thank you very much! /Erik

Excellent as always. I do sketch a lot of humans in privacy. One time, recently, I went ahead and did so in a public place and everyone seemed to know I was doing that. You gave the reason they knew. My head kept moving up to see and back down to draw. I don’t like attracting attention to myself however everyone else was looking at their phones which is not very original so I tried to just be me and not worry about the strangers around me. Thank you!

Never thought about drawing the head, hands, knees etc as floating elements and connecting them together. I really like that and it makes sense to me. Thanks Teoh!

i wish i saw more people drawing in public, then i wouldnt feel as strange doing it myself. i feel like i cant go to a cafe because when im out i prefer my water bottle over a hot drink.

I’m a beginner and I want to fill my sketchbook with people. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!

Once I also had a fear of drawing people out in public. BUT after I participated in an internet drawing marathon and at the final lesson we all had to draw in public, for some reason I felt like I have the right to draw as well :)))) Besides, this excuse - that it's a marathon, what can I do, that's the task, you kno' - that would help me explain my behavior, I thought. If someone asks. But noone did. So I stopped bothering since. That time drawing alone in a street due to the task of the marathon opened the floodgates :))

New sub! Thanks for your works. I’ve been binge watching your videos! And this one really comes at the right time. I’m new to water color and hope to paint my toddler but I’ve been too hard on myself as I focus too much on details that I forgot about “lines”. Your tips on simplifying hits me right there. Keep it up!

some years ago,i discovered your channel- drawing chnnwls in general. but i keep coming back to yours. i just take so much away from your content- your style resonates with me and i like your explanations :) very inspiring! thank you!

Absolutely Fantastic Teoh Yi Chie. It is a credit to you. Thank you for your time and tuition. We also wish you A Happy and Prosperous New Year in 2020

i wish i had seen something like this back in middle school or high school. i can imagine being an inspired young human, filling sketchbooks for my own pleasure :)

Excellent tutorial as it shows how to truly see what I am drawing. Thank you!

love your tutorials! Always helpful!

Excellent lesson! Especially about drawing what you see, not what you think you see. I constantly need to be reminded of this principle. Thank you, I will watch this video again, and maybe again.

Learnt alot from your videos over the years and you've really helped with me starting my own channel, thanks :)

Very thorough and helpful. Great advice. 👍😁 Thanks Teoh.

Thanks Teoh! Always love your videos

Excellent video Teoh. You have done a good job on those figures. Well done.

Wonderful! Thanks from Canada!✨✨✨🎨

Very useful video, thank you Parka ! 👍🏻

Wonderful. So full of life

Super vlog, Teoh. Thanks.

Your english is powerful! Congratulations!

It was great learning for me. I am a beginner. I like your videos and your book reviews.

Some of the best advice about people I ever heard from you imho was that (depending on your eye view) parts of people line up along a horizon. Like all the heads being on the same horizontal line no matter how close or far they are... i never forget to look at that. :)

Your videos are very useful for those who loves to sketch as a hobby thanks for your sharing

Great! Drawing people is always fun.! You are inspiring me Thanks from South Korea :)

Teoh, you are so good at what you do!

The speed a person develops in sketching and drawing, would come with time and practice. A person eventually develops very good , Hand Eye and Mind coordination, with lots of practice.

Lovely drawings, Teoh.

This has been very helpful thankyou.

GREAT video - really enjoyed this video - very inspiring!

Great tips sir! Thank u!

You are very creative. Good eyes!

that's pretty impressive! and also very helpful :)

thank u very much, i love ur videos!

Can you do a similar tutorial on sketching MOVING subjects rather than from stills?

i enjoy your sketching videos on paper very much

Great tipS. I’ve just started drawing again. I find it very therapeutic. I’m very new to people sketching, because before I always drew only nature. I like your style very much. Thanks for this tutorial. It helped me a lot ☺️

adorable!👍❤️❤️❤️

Inspiring...thanks from Germany!

I like that you don't get upset when you don't get the face right. For me, i would get upset and stop right away. I guess that's not a good mindset for beginners like me.

Very useful, I have struggle drawing people!

Thank you Teoh 👍🙂

Wow wonderful. From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

If you can draw this on different frames like storyboarding I would be very interested to see because i think its even harder to put this on 4:3 frames

Hi! This is great! Thank you. This helps a ton. What type of fountain pen are you using?

My struggle is allowing myself to make mistakes. I love that you do this in pen and no obsessive erasing. Just need to learn to let go right?

I love your sketches and your videos are very helpful. I am a beginner and wondered what fountain pen would be best to start with. Thanks.

Love love loveee ur videa I'm a beginner can I ask which style is ur drawing ??????

So helpful!! This answered a lot of my questions

Hey, now.."the more stickers, the more creative." The case on my iPad collects finger prints! Hahahaha

thank you

Like it.

cool! you use grid system in your drawing

I have subscribed to your channel 😉

thks you

great content. I can't seem to find the "year" though ;)

Thank you for the video, its easy to understand and follow up. But I have problem sketching outdoor because of people moving and changing the pose very quick. Do you have any advice for that case? (Certainly I know that drawing more and more will help improve the speed while sketching)

Wonderful video - so helpful and informative. Do you have a page with affiliate links for the tools you use? I saw you mention using the Pelikan 200 pen. What is your favorite pocket brush? Many thanks for all your help.

Really good tips Teoh-very helpful, especially about proportion and where to extend body positions to. By the way, what kind of pen is that?

Thanks

Thank you Teoh, love your informative videos and happy to see a fellow Singaporean on KZfaq. I've two questions actually - do you recommend beginners start with this type of sketch, or is there some order or exercises you recommend for beginning? Also, was wondering if you can share the supplies names you are using. Thanks!

i just ordered `Sketching People` :) And I have been enjoying `The Natural Way To Paint` by Charles Reid. Your recommendations are great. Your channel is a treasure. Peace and health for Teoh!

1:30 is that the Church on the Dam in Amsterdam!?

Thank you. This was very helpful. I would measure when drawing but my focus was too much on the personand trying to get it right.

Thank you. It's very useful.

Nice work. What fountain pen are u using?

Can you tell us what pen you are using?

wow! this is super helpful! btw, what sketchbook are you using? 😅

Where is the book link

What pen are you using? :)

Great_video! P.S.What_pen_do_u_use?

OMG. I was using this technique to sketch back in high school even though I had no idea what I was doing rofl(self taught).

Yes, one has to be EXTREMELY careful when drawing in public. Join a USk group for group safety.

I used to draw like this but find using lines and shapes is better for beginners. Youd have to draw like this alot or have a good knowledge of anatomy to draw like this imo.

I see even the best artist are finding it hard to make a living as an artist, they are forced to teach technique, avoiding telling the student they require an innate eye for composition and line, light and shade. But the money comes in handy.

I’m so bad at drawing hands

hope to draw people more freely on the street.

The girl in the first photo looks like the Kamakura Buddha.

i like how you don’t care about making the faces look accurate

You don't need pencil guideline, do you?

Let me give you the best advice... You want to learn to sketch? Draw everything you see. I dose off during lessons.. I'm in high school and guess what I do to stop myself...I take out my paper and sketch my friend or the teacher.. Don't try get anything perfect... Just flow and don't try keep it clean either... Don't try... Just draw what you see... Wish I could show you my pics of how it is... But just keep sketching and sketching and sketching... Hope you can improve... Good luck

These are not real sketches - the real ones are drawn from life. These are good sketches, but there will be little point in drawing them.
