“It’s your art not a homework assignment” Art students:👁👄👁

"H is for hard and B is for Bsoft"that seriously killed me😂😂😂

Drawing has been my hobby since when I was 12, but they aren't perfect and alot of people usually hate my art. But after seeing this video...

Don't judge me ... I draw on lined paper.

8:36 "all that matters is that you're satisfied with the end result and had fun doing it, kinda like making babies- " I lost it here 😂😂

*"Why am I whispering"* I died.

A few words about materials for the newbies: "Run what you brung." Its more important to be making marks rather than what materials you are using. Any tool, any paper and just do it. They'll all work. When the time comes that you notice something isn't working the way you want use the following information: Pencils: (H)ard and (B)lack. Higher the number, the more hard or more black. Graphite pencils have graphite which is what gives them color, and a binder which gives them durability. Hard pencils have harder binder, Black pencils more graphite. HB is sort of a compromise. The so-called #2 pencil used for taking tests uses a different grading system, but is similar to an HB. Most mechanical pencils come with #2/HB leads, sometimes you can find them in other grades. Harder pencils, combined with a light touch, are often used for putting in guidelines; press too hard and you dent the paper making later erasure challenging. In the beginning it only matters if you are using a sketchbook as the harder pencils will dent the paper. If you put a sheet of thin plastic or cardstock under the page you're working on, this becomes a non-issue. Colored pencils are not graded this way. Paper: When graphite sketching, notice how smooth the paper is. Cheap printer/copier paper is pretty smooth. If you use a 2H pencil on it your marks may look silvery instead of black. If this is the only paper you have, try a Black graded pencil. If you can't get one, make a pad of the copier paper by putting extra sheets under the one you're working, 3-5 should help. Yes, the paper will dent, but you're going to use this to your advantage. The paper will wrap around the tip of the pencil as you apply pressure which increases the surface area of the contact which results in more graphite on the paper. Most sketch paper is not so smooth. This is called "tooth" with papers for pastels being almost rough. It is this texture that grabs your medium from your tool and holds onto it. If the paper is too smooth for the medium, you may be tempted to apply too much pressure. Pen and marker paper don't need as much and are smooth, paper for pencil needs a little more, charcoal needs even more, etc. If you see Bristol paper, know that it comes in two surfaces, smooth and vellum; remember the smooth is better for marker, so the vellum will be better for graphite. Some papers are two-sided, one side may have more tooth than the other. Paper comes in different thicknesses and weights. Stay with cheaper, thin paper for practice. When the time comes look into thick papers for your project, they'll hold up to aggressive erasing, inking and color washes. Erasers: Pink erasers used to have pumice added to them and have a tendency to damage paper and leave a tint behind. White plastic or vinyl erasers are the standard used by artists. Gum erasers have some unique properties that make them very messy, but very good at lifting marks off the paper. Kneaded erasers are soft, putty-like and tacky. They can be shaped to a point to erase with pin precision, or dabbed on an area to lighten the marks. You probably won't need any of these other than the white one while learning to sketch.

I love how these vids have so much character AND informative, I learn from them and get a good laugh as well. (The part where he pointed at us was F´n hilarious to me for some reason)

I love how Draw Like A Sir is a channel that is very helpful and informative, but also has little bits of comedy that make learning and watching their videos fun.

I really like these videos! They're super educational and helpful! I hope a digital painting tutorial comes out soon~ good luck on translating your videos! These are really helpful for beginners like me!

You do such a great job with your videos they are very inspiring. I love your channel and I hope it grows even more✏️✨💕

i know this video is old but man you brought out the part of my self i forgot about when making art having fun i started drawing when i was 5 but then i stopped and became more thought driven i finally understand after all these years

I wanted to learn to draw just a bit, as I want to find a hobby for the longest time. I figured that if I got a little better at drawing I would enjoy it a lot more. I wasn't wrong and I actually really like learning about this stuff, so thanks so much for teaching me. Hope more people find your channel dude because its genuinely good stuff! ;w;

Love how you made the soundtrack of pokemon mystery dungeon your background music

B actually stands for *bold* but I guess Bsoft also works 😂😂

i have watched like 10 of your vids man and already i am seeing improvement on my drawing skill. thank you draw like a sir for teaching me and many more people to DRAW LIKE A SIR

Imagine trying to make a perfect circle with only one stroke This meme was made by sketch gang

3:30 Also, if you sketch with colored pencil(s) you can draw over it with "regular" pencils, or even ink, and be rid of colored lines in Photoshop after you scan them leaving only the finished lines. This is how you can ink with pencils instead of ink btw.

This guy is underrated by a lot he deserves more

My goodness, why I'm I just discovering this channel now, thanks so much sir, you're among the best out there, thanks for sharing this powerful tips

Im really late, but thank you for making these kinds of videos, you have really comforted me with rich art supplies, and you don't have to use rich art supplies to be good at art. And you have been the best art youtuber, as I, the age of 10. I have really improved drawing ever since i've watched your videos. I'm a new fan btw. (EDIT: Also this clip really helped me aswell. 7:37)

I found sketching with pen really elevated my sketching game, great tip.

I'm so glad I found your channel..drawing has always been the one thing I really love doing but I've not really been as good as I want to be..so I came to KZfaq and lucky me I found you Marcellus..I'm really getting better,thank you.

hey man, i live in istanbul turkey. I am 29 years old and just started drawing. I watch your videos all the time and you produce the best videos on this subject. Please produce more content. I respect you. have a nice day bro 👊🏼 🇹🇷

Love your suggestions and your sense of humor. very uplifting

Regarding the colored pencils when sketching, I remember in one of Naoki Urasawa's Manben series episodes, the Manga artist being interviewed said he uses colored pencils for sketching because when they are scanned for publication, the sketch lines don't show up or are a lot easier to remove in post-production edits. I also find that sketching with a colored pencil helps me switch easier from sketch mode to "final version" mode when actually finishing the drawing, as the lines I'm drawing at that point seem more final, where the colored lines seem more tentative/initial.

Very informative and refreshing presentation! I've drawn for most of my youth, but fell away when older ... You've inspired me to relax and have fun again.

I really love your videos, I just found you but your channel is so unique and different from other tutorial channels. Your jokes gets me everytime lol (flying squirrel one was good too dont worry i got you) anyways keep posting videos I’d like to see your videos more often and other ppl would appreciate it too I assume. So keep up the good work good sir!

Took me a while to warmup to the delivery but the quality of the line and approach to technic I found FUN TO DO and like the result I was getting ! Thanks !!!

I used to draw in my senior year because I had art class but stopped for about 3 years and recently started sketching with a pen and I improved in 3-4 week. I was just letting my mind wonder till I started imagining/thinking of things like objects or feeling.

7:24 I love this man!

I LOVE your videos! You make drawing fun! I'm sure you already know this,but when you were talking about pencils, I just had to find out about what HB does mean. B stands for black :) which translates to a softer lead having the ability to make the shadows more black. THANK YOU again for all your super fun tutorials!

8:43 wait a minute.. WAIT A DAMN MINUTE Anyways TYYY for this tutorial

I honestly love your videos you make drawings so much simpler

I bought your Zeichnen like a Sir book the other day off Kindle even though i don't speak/read German. I look forward to reading it. Kindle does have a translate option so it probably will be fine.

thank you because all of your tutorials have made me 1000 times better at drawing already and keep up the amazing work!

I love the way you do your videos i subscribed the second you started talking I am actually surprised you dont have 1 mil

You are a great artist and a great teacher as well. Thank you so much!

this guy is so helpful when it comes to making art and i love and appreciate that he adds so much humour into it

I have seen dozens of drawing/sketching tutorials, but not one has shown how a sketch, starting with faint outline, turns into the finished product, ready to be used as a final presentation or the stuff that's used for publishing and other such high category stuff. Can you please make a video on this? i.e. A sketch, starting as a pencil drawing, all through the various stages of inking, scanning, coloring etc? I like your videos, and this would help many beginners like me.

I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and you still teach me so so much

🙊 omg......your art, it's too beautiful!!! I wish I could see your sketchbook and paper you draw on😍❤️

Great tips presented in a fun, lighthearted way. Thank you!

Thanks for all the tips and tricks in sketching though I really wanted for you to actually show us your sketch, yet all your videos are amazing!

Idk why, but I felt emotional from 7:30 cause I'm bad at drawing. I can't do cercle or basic stuff. Hearing you say that made me happy. Idk why. Thx a lot, you opened my eyes :)

Thanks for the Tips!

Thank you for the line work advices and tips.

2:27 that text cracked me up 😂 and amazing content as always! ❤

*96.1k subs.* Just leaving a mark, so that I'll later know that I was here before a million subs. :) Love ur vids.

This man can make any tutorial drawing video funny and I just love it I was always good at drawing but stopped drawing and began drawing after two years

Thank you so much for this video, I honestly though about quitting bc I didn’t see any improvement but it seems like I’m stressing it to much and forgot I started drawing because it was fun in the first place so thank you 🙏

no cap when i sketch hearing ur voice is relaxing, i would take a random video and listed while i draw

Its been a month i need more tutorialsssss

i’m being inspired thank you (:

i have HB pencils but for ppl who like adding lots of detail in their characters then i recommend to use HB pencils that are a bit dull so that the lines will be more soft while erasing and also it will help for shading!... I'm semi good on traditional art soo if u don't think this is good recommendation then i understand, we all still have stuff to learn in the world of art soo..

Love this!!

Love your videos and you sense of humour keep up the good work

Really helpful thanks !

muchas gracias que gran video , me ah despejado todas las dudas que tenia sobre el boceto ya que normalmente mis bocetos salen muy sucios y eso me estaba algo desconcentrando ya que veía a gente haciendo bocetos limpios , pero ahora ya puedo tomármelo con calma tanto con lo de los materiales como lo de dibujar y divertirme en mi cuaderno de bocetos

Great vid man

tha's how i felt many many times although not the same scenario @Draw like a Sir Thanks for the tutorials

6:00 - Tracing Paper is an option too. Though, you have to REALLY like it in order to waste more pencil lead by applying a thick layer to the opposite side to draw it again. But the light board and window is easier. ( I have a lighting board.)

You've just earned a new sub, thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

BRO YOU ARE THE ONE WHO GOT ME INTO ASFA ( A very very hard to get into school)

"Beginners always care about the materials and the quality of it" I'm not bragging, but bro! I drew a literal artwork using the cheapest pencil in our school!

Thank you for making this video❤

I'm 13, and I started drawing like a month ago. And he inspired me.

1:28 It’s a dip pen (if you don’t know)

Laughed so much! Thanks!

Love this video man. You are hilarious.

Thank you for all your hardwork

Already learn so much from you thank you

Thank you very much for the tips 😊

thank you so much!

Your right,it's honestly more fun for me when doodling freely with a ballpoint on some school book then doing a neat sketch.

Thx man ✨

Thank you very much for this video 🙏🙏🙏🙏

really good tips...thanks bro

Thanks alot this really helps me

Most videos about drawing out in the internet are mostly about figure drawing. I would love to see the process for background on a comic or something like that. A world in which to insert my characters. Thanks 😊

I really love your videos 😊

Ah, menarik juga nih buat belajar sketch! Pengen tau tips dan trik kerennya biar bisa bikin karya kayak Sir. Siap-siap deh, bakal kepincut ngerajut garis-garis indah!

4:09 yeah, I use this method when animating. If someone us walking, the right arm will ve orange, and the right arm will be blue, same for the legs. To keep track of which arm is which, and which leg is wich. I HIGHLY, Suggest using this method if your an animator and still learning.
