Hi everyone.

In this video we will draw a simple landscape with basic shapes.

 Here is the paper I will use for the final design. It is watercolor paper. I will draw its outline on plain paper that we use for printers.

We are ready to continue. With simple shapes we will make all parts of our design.

Let’s define the horizon with this line.

 Hmmm, my thought about this design is that we have a big tall tree right in the middle. We will put this in its depth by putting its trunk to start near the horizon

 We will design some other trees to the right and left. All trees are made with simple patterns and I place the root of their trunk closer or further from the horizon to create depth.

 Now we will design our clouds, simple circles connected.

Okay, now in our drawing we notice that the objects are connected so that we know what to draw in our final drawing, we can do it with a pen to see it better.

 Let’s get our paper for our final design. With our pencils we will start drawing. I will use the most light color for the horizon line, and for the tree trunks in the background. As I get closer I will use darker colors.

In the clouds I will only paint their outline blue and paint where there are no clouds. Leave the clouds on white paper.    

Carefully and always using a dry paper to absorb the extra water from the brush, I take over the color I have put with my pencils to create the watercolor effect.

And some pencil work at the end.

Thank you.

Hi, everyone !!

In this video, I’ll show you some warm up exercises that you can do.

The purpose of warming up is to “awaken” your drawing muscle memory and getting back into the groove of drawing.

As you’re about to discover, none of my warm-up exercises really have any artistic value, .. or maybe some abstract value … or inspiration for an illustration.

Put your favourite music on. Draw with pencil or pen, it doesn’t matter.

They’re just really simple warm-up exercise.

The first one is to simply draw parallel lines, as straight as you can. Let’s try Different Length. Now Let’s try to draw some vertical lines over.

The next exercise is to swirl all over the page. A good warm-up exercise for rhythm. Follow the rhythm of the song.

Another good exercise is to draw big or small circles. Don’t draw them quickly, just enjoy it. It’s ok if they are not even.

Let’s make a lonely circle and attach some friends circles on it. Now we will draw lines away from the centre of the circles. Yes for some direction is a bit difficult. Pick a couple that you like and try to use some of these warm-up exercises to start off your daily drawing time and see if they will make a positive impact.
