Let me know what you think of this lesson in the comments below.

What a great lesson to start,you make it look so easy.Wish I had seen it 50 years ago might have made an artist by now.Thank you.

You are very generous to post your lessons here. You have enormous knowledge and you know how to teach so well! Thank you!

Your videos are the best out there in terms of sketching from scratch. I've seen a ton of other artists try to do what you do and no one comes close at actually demonstrating these skills. Many talk about these concepts (comparing angles, he need for strong contrast, shadow shapes, focal points) but very few actually show how to do it. For anyone who wants to learn from scratch how to use different types of mediums, I highly recommend Phil's Draw Awesome course. It takes almost a year to complete. Most comprehensive program on the internet for a very reasonable price.

You are the best instructor I’ve ever had, thank you

I cannot believe art tutor is going out of business. But I am glad you're carrying on its mantle.

There are numerous fundamentals in this video that provided a comprehensive vision of analyzing and drawing a scene. I learned a lot! Thank you so much!

This video was AWESOME! I really liked that we got to see everything from start to finish in nearly real time. I see tutorials all the time about how to draw/sketch the individual elements. So the fact that this was an entire landscape was really nice. I'm so glad you're going to be posting more videos! I can't wait to see what comes out next.

This is awesome! I am brand new to this, at 69 years old, and yours are the clearest videos I've seen yet. I especially liked the one on how to draw places quickly. I've worked through that twice, and will continue to this weekend. Thank you SOOOO much!!!

I am so thankful for you sharing your knowledge and talent! Very good teacher!! ❤

You are a awesome teacher Love learning from you thanks for sharing you inspired me to start drawing again after 35 years of hair dressing thought I would pick up some classes after I retired ,then said why wait there is You Tube best thing that ever happened ,internet classes ,thanks again keep up the Great work .

Thanks for your thoughtful actions to help beginners

Thank you very much! it worked wonderfully for me! very happy with the result. For those who struggle with the boat as I do here's how I overcame drawing it: I traced it from the screen using a printer paper and drew a square around it. then I did a few drawings using negative space and it worked. lastly I drew a square a on the drawing paper and got a good shaped boat. mind the size and place of the square.

Thank you so much from germany! I have made a huge progress following your drawing!!!

Thank you so much, please do more landscape tutorials like this

Have enjoyed re creating this exercise! Your explanations are really clear & I was able to follow easily! Have now finished the drawing. But, you mentioned a tag photo, I‘d like your hints & tips but don’t know how to let you see my drawing. Thanks for your clear teachings!

I was a member of ArtTutor for many years and took many of the classes. So sorry it didn't work out for you and the community. I joined ArtKula when you sent out the email. Glad to see you on KZfaq, also. Thanks so much! Love your drawing, Phil!!

I’m so pleased to have found your channel, this is right up my alley 🙏🎨🙏

Learned a lot, much better than the classes offered by RISD. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks so much. Glad you are back.

I enjoyed ArtTutor a lot, you are a fantastic teacher! Thank you!

Enjoyed completing this tutorial. Thanks Phil.

You are amazing!!

Great lesson. Thank you, Phil.

Awesome !!! I loved this. I'm delighted you are putting your amazing lessons on You Tube as I have to grab time when I can to learn so this is perfect. Thank you.

Amazing...mesmerizing!!!

Thank you ,I really enjoy your teaching style, every step is so well explained .

so happy you are back!!!

Thank you! God bless you copiously.♥️

❤❤❤

I was waiting for your videos from a long period of time

Exactly the style and level of sketchiness I would love to do. Excellent.

Just found you. Love the teaching style will follow you and look you up.

Great tutorial and it was great to see it from start to finish, and you explained everything in a comprehensive manner.

Nice drawing detailed description 👍

Amazing artwork! Thank you for sharing!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Well done, very enjoyable and learned a lot.

Excellent. Very happy with the result. I drew on Stonehenge paper, and a the end added just a touch of colour to the boat.

Hi,I have spent the afternoon drawing this boat, considering I only had an HB and 2B pencils I am pleased with the result, I am fairly new to art and after watching the lesson I couldn’t wait to give it a go. Thank you very much for taking the time to help me and others learn how to draw. I would send you a photo of my drawing but I don’t know how

I'm looking forward to you posting more videos. Went through your channel today and already learnt so much! Subscribed.

So glad I found your channel, it's really going to help me improve my art. Subscribed straight away. Thankyou 😊💙

Great tutorial thanks.

an other good course. The texture is wow. Help me a lot to understand layers

Wonderful! A lot to aim for. Thank you.

i am a new subscriber. Love your work. Didn't even know your channel existed until one of your drawings was youtube recommended viewing for me. I am sure as more people will become familiar with what you are putting out your subscribers will increase. Five thumbs up!

Great lesson.

Hi, thanks for the drawing class ,just finished mine ,needs a bit of refining as I can cheerfully say I find boat difficult

Great tutorial. I followed along just this minute. That's now the second drawing I've done today that looks like the thing it's meant to look like, which is fantastic. I've not drawn in several decades (I was bad then, so not much to go on), so that's an achievement for me! I didn't have the correct paper or pencils, but I had a little notebook with textured paper and H, HB and 2B pencils and a normal rubber and it was fine. I wasn't looking for instant genius, just some inspiration to get me started, and this helped very much. I will upload to the ArtKula thing as requested to thank you for your video (I've requested an invite). I write funny (I'm a leftie) and it tends to smudge the picture, but I managed to avoid for the most part. Is it bad form to move the paper (notebook in my case) round at funny angles rather than move my hand and body round the workpiece? I don't want to start with horrendous habits.

Glad I found you! I’m an older newbie from a small island in Alaska, I want to improve! What you said really clicked…so could I “cheat” and force my crappy pictures in an app to get more contrast?

Really enjoyed this video thank you

While watching the video I watched it fairly close and was not really seeing many of the details you were putting in on the distant cliff side. Once I set the video about 2 feet away and observed that same area it completely made those subtle details really give the cliffs character and I could see the details very well. Hence this is why you mentioned several times to step back and observe the picture.

Nice

so amazing''''''''(

Nice 👍

Fun, thanks !

I worked from the colour photograph, and was really surprised by the intense darkness in the shadow of the boat in the black and white photo, in comparison to the right hand cliffs. I made the cliffs too dark, which really took the eye away from the boat and ruined the overall effect. I'll try again!

Amazing

Look forward to watching the lessons, but keep being advised ‘error server not found’

Hi Phil... I disagree with your thoughts on leaning the boat toward the center of the page. To me that position leads my eyes all the way to the left of the page, which is opposite of your intention of drawing the eyes towards the center/right. Just something to think about.

Did you say that this was for complete beginners? I don’t think so, no explanation how to draw the boat etc

Chapter markers are no longer there!
