my grandma's fountain pen | sketching with a vintage Montblanc
Переглядів 1,6 тис.6 місяців тому
Today I'd like to show you a small pen set that once belonged to my grandmother. For me it's very special because of the stories and memories connected to it, even if I don't use the pens a lot. The fountain pen is a Montblanc 22 - it has a piston mechanism with a blue ink window lined with gold that can be refilled directly from an ink well. The 14 K gold tip is nice and has a fine to medium l...

keep it simple | tips for a stress free sketchbook practice
Переглядів 3,3 тис.8 місяців тому
One thing I've noticed about my own sketching activities, but also in comments that you readers and viewers send in, is that whenever I make sketching too complicated, I'm less motivated to do it. I think we are less likely to keep sketching when we start to see it as a kind of obligation, or a duty, thinking we need to draw something every single day without fail or were not doing it right. Ge...

    • @NatureSketchbook

    I use FB to advance my brand of politics because I am a writer, furthermore keeping in contact with family and friends. I don't promote my business as an Engineer on Social Media at all for two reasons: first I do not stuggle to find work, and secondly because my B2B communication is guaranteed to be confidential. Your absolutely correct Julia, there is a dissatifaction and sapping of creativity and valuable time that comes with X, Instagram, and FB, that said, there's really not much more I can add-I can't rely on these platforms for anything...I need to learn about who I'm friends with and even more who will instruct me. I'm glad you continued to reach out to me Julia. Blessing.

  • @wackywoowar9249
    @wackywoowar9249 Місяць тому

    This is exactly what I needed. I know the point of these videos is that it takes time and it's not some sort of "instantly get better" quick fix, but after following the video and not much more than 30 minutes of practice my drawings look so much better. This is not to say i'm magically an artist, they are still basic but compared to what I was drawing before anyone could notice the clear difference. The segments about basic shapes and then refining them was clearly explained, and something I'd never understood about "under-drawings" before. Thank you so much for this video!

  • @ohbli_oh
    @ohbli_oh Місяць тому

    Your greens and foliage shapes are lovely. The values of the darkest greens against the lightest captivating. I’m happy to be craving to paint watching your videos and not craving to buy things 😊

  • @meld9362
    @meld9362 Місяць тому

    I have only just discovered you on UA-cam and thoroughly enjoy your tutorials. Self taught in basic drawing but I’m ready to get creative again. I have never really thought about using watercolour but I’m keen to learn. What type of coloured pencils are you using? I am tempted to do one of your courses but I’m not sure where to start. One of your basic courses to start with once I go through the PDFs that were emailed. Thank you so much for staying on UA-cam.

    • @NatureSketchbook
      @NatureSketchbook Місяць тому

      Thank you and great that you enjoy my tutorials! Currently I don't use colored pencils as much (I think I'm in an ink phase), but I've been happy with Faber Castell Polychromos in the past. I'd say work your way through the PDFs in your own pace and see what topic interests you the most. I show demos and explain basic concepts in each of them.

    Your bird painting turned out so wonderful! It was lovely to see all the steps you took to create him. This was a lot of technical info, but I think I understood most of it. It's sad about AI and theft, and I hope you can protect your work as an artist. I looked at your website and your courses. I'm planning to sign up for at least one or more; I just have to choose which one to start with! 😃 I'm sure I need the one for layouts and composition for Nature Journal pages. Thank you for this information and all of your videos. ❤️

    • @NatureSketchbook
      @NatureSketchbook Місяць тому

      Thank you Cynthia! I know it's a lot of techno babble. I'm currently less concerned about my own work - I'm not one of those artists whose entire job has been taken away by AI, I mainly teach these days. But for a lot of background artists in movies and games, editorial illustrators, book covers illustrators it looks pretty dire. And of course the ethical aspect is that the AI was trained without consent from any of us. We live in weird times. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy my courses, I know there so many by now that it can be hard to choose. The layout course was a fun one to make!
