I'm not a beginner. Far from it. I have been drawing since I was three, a 'gifted and talented' artist at school, and I've studied art formally for nine years overall. I mostly paint in oils. Yours is the BEST drawing instruction channel I have found. Your tips are things we forget along the way. Art school doesn't value traditional, basic skills anymore, so I'd forgotten so much, and my drawing is not what it should be after so much 'training'. I turned to the internet to refresh them, and boom, in easy-to-follow steps, you have refreshed my memory and given new tips that somehow didn't reach me. Thank you so much.

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 8 ай бұрын

Thanks so much. Yes there are many gaps in 'formal' art education, in the UK they often don't teach much drawing, and very little watercolour or oils. Quick, adjustable mediums like acrylics are favoured instead.

I've been using this technique for some time now without knowing about it and for a different reason. I have aphantasia (lack of any mental imagery) and always had troubles with my drawings being cut off somewhere, because I couldn't plan it out before and drew it too close to the edge of the paper. I started using these boxes as a way around this so that I could see the space I was going to work in. Thanks for the very insightful video, really interesting!
