How to Draw 101 Ep. 1 - Basic Drawing Skills & Sketching Exercises With Pencil For Beginners

Not so simple but extremely well done Tomas. The rest of your drawings are amazing as well.

Thanks, Jennifer. It may seem like that, but if you know some simple rules of perspective, it's getting much easier to draw a chair like this. Understanding the concept of "negative space" can also help a lot. These are the blue and green areas on the drawing. Focusing on these "negative" shapes helps to turn off some preconceptions in our brain that would affect our drawing in a negative way.By the way, your paintings are just great :) I like them all including your eye-catching portraits.

Thanks for your reply Tamas I feel I ned to check out your classes. Thank you also for commenting on my paintings.

Thank you, Donna! I appreciate your feedback. And your watercolor paintings are truly impressive.

Practice makes perfect, these are great.

It’s great that you can creat such a beautiful picture from simple things around us.

Thanks for the compliment, Zuzana! I appreciate it.

Really nice ! And you re right  , the practice   of drawing is very  important !

I think that drawing basics are extremely important even for painters.
