It’s incredible how your drawing looks like a photocopy, you work so hard on every tiny detail. I really enjoy watching you draw and I’m always amazed by the end product. Thanks for doing these videos

Thank you for your video, as usual, very thorough and clear in your drawing and your unhurried voice invites you to carefully observe the details. Thank you once again.

REALLY love your videos! I watch and think to myself that "I can do that" :) It gives me the urge to want to do some seascapes and landscapes. Something I am not used to doing, but I love the outcome of your work and will strive to achieve similar results. Thanks!!

I know you have an eye for detail, since you mentioned mixed media and pastel in this video... Can you put some nice tutorial using pastels or a mix with it as a medium? Oil medium or wax medium i doubt if that can create the kind of detail you like.. If yes then please share some on your channel 🙂🙏

Thanks smoothie. I'm gonna look into this brand. just tried adding fixative for my first time to a graphite piece. At least it didn't ruin it... However, i don't trust it because on the test piece i could still smudge & erase. Plus the paper has this awful gritty texture now. Does this fixative add a texture? Beautiful drawing as always, your other seascape tutorials what i used to create a backround for a realistic merman . I must have re-watched it at least 20 time. Your a wonderful teacher!

@smoothie77drawingpainting 5 жыл бұрын

It leaves no texture, all fixatives will smudge and erase a bit if you rub them hard enough including this one, but it gives just enough protection if you keep the drawing in a sketchbook or between two sheets of paper.

Amazing art work! All your pencil drawings look exactly like photos. As you show it step by step, I feel like it’s not as complicated that I may be able to do it. I’m over 70 and just started drawing a few weeks ago. I would be greatly appreciated if you add which grade of pencil you use as you are drawing. Also, I wonder if you used a white pencil for the waves. If so, what brand of white pencil would you recommend?

@thetiresomething8220 2 жыл бұрын

The pencil you see in the video is not actually a white pencil it’s a eraser pencil the brand he is using in the video is I’m pretty sure a tombow easer pencil

This is excellent. I just have a question. When you are drawing, do you listen to anything or do you typically draw in silence?
