IMPROVE your LINE WORK! Basic beginner LVL exercises!

So, what if a person prefers drawing with their fingers intead of their arm? Would it still be helpful to do these exercises?

I just went to a portfolio review event and I was told I should work on my lines. Hopefully this will help me!❤

I struggle with shading and line work it’s one of the reason why I stopped drawing because I felt like I keep hitting a wall with my art

I wanna get in to art school so i can be a art teacher i have started drawing and paintings before taking lines lesson but someone told me i gotta still learn basic lines which is why I'm here. I want A art Tutor

Thank you so much!!!

As someone who struggles with drawing overly sketchy lines or "feathering" and wanting to improve speed, these are exactly the types of exercises I have been looking for. Most advice I get is "draw from the elbow" or "draw with a more confident line" or "sketch with a pen." All of which are valid but I have been looking for a long time for structured exercises to do those things accurately and train my hand and eye in a new direction after years of working a certain way. Thank you for sharing this it's a big help!

thank you so much ❤

This was great! Thank you.

Thank you for this tutorial. Most of videos about how to start drawing mostly skim on it and say "just practice something". This exercise at least gives purpose and helps with the basic drawing skill.

Does the line work matter on the pen i use because my pen does not make a straight like with no gaps I would like to know what type of pen I should use

business penmanship use the same way to practice the arm control

Should I practice this daily?

You probably won't read this but I'm a big fan of your work and I'm eternally thankful for all the knowledge you share with us beginners. Thank you very much, God bless you and repay your kindness tenfold.

I have so much trouble with drawing literally anything that faces to the left. I can barely draw circles either, and straight lines are seriously hard. Because of this (Well I think it's because of this) all of my art, when flipped, is skewed to the right. It looks like it's always leaning, it's severely frustrating but I don't know how to fix it.

the tutorial make me know my line work is literally trash :(

Quick question, I've been doing these line drills for ~5 days and after I'm done with them it gives me a hand tremor for a bit. Is this normal? Like is it just my muscles not being used to it and a general lack of confidence? I'm wondering if anyone had a similar experience and if it's just part of the process or not.

I really appreciate this video. I am going to start these today! I've been binging your channel and learning so much. I also appreciate the mention of your movement points. Like the arm, wrist, and applying pressure with the fingers. As you said that things just 'clicked'! Thank you for your solid work on teaching!

At last!!!!!!!!! Someone who really goes to the basics!!!! Most other videos are like: well do steady lines instead of trembling or hairy ones, but they don't explain how one can learn do them properly!!! T H A N K Y O U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Feel like a total idiot. I've been drawing most of my life and I never thought there could be exercises for something like this. Thanks a lot man!!

I show this video to people who keep blaming their tablets and graphic programs for poor lines quality - it's all a matter of practice :)

I was very reluctant to do this, so I draw a face on the paper, and them started to do the lines outside of the face, trying not to clip the lines inside of the drawing i guess that might be a "more fun" way to do this exercise if you already are advanced on the drawings but still need to practice more your line work

I never realised exactly how bad my lines were until I watched someone do it right.

I like this✨

These are helpful. I have been doing some of these and similar things you show here. I like the idea of the circles inside the circles. I carry lined and graph paper along with my sketch book so when i am sitting long periods i can practice a variety of ways. Shading in the areas sometimes as well. Even practice shading with other media like colored pencils etc. Nice video. Thanks!

Will you make a video about tutorial about practice drawing pose/anatomy :3 ?

I did a couple of pages like this.... Is it bad that I left the exercise completely discouraged? I can't keep my lines straight at all! :)

I have to try these exercises! Thanks!

hi reiq, thank you for this video, I'm left handed and I draw with my shoulder with no issue, but I need always to turn the page in a way to be able to draw a straight line otherwise I can't if the page stay straight … Is it ok to turn the page in a way I feel more confortable to draw correctly the lines ?

How to improve your laying
:v

Fengzhu 's recommendation as well.

Thank you so much...this has helped more than you know. I took art classes for years and was never taught how to do this. They seem to think teaching is simply sitting down with water color or canvas with paint and jusr do it. i cannot thank you enough

woooojo. nice intro bro! =p

I'm a bit surprised you use your wrist so much. I figured these exercises were done with the elbow and shoulder.

Podes hacer uno comentário en espanhiol?

I messed up sometime

This is very helpful

THANK U !!! This is so smart.
Good day.

paisano !!!! ok como lo he dicho en otros videos que has subido deberias tambien dirigirlo a la comunidad latina

Great stuff!

does it matter if you do this exercise on an incline or a flat surface?

never thought a porn artist could help me

I like the background music. And thanks for these tips

Like Dynamic Sketching from CGMA.

very basic but essential and very rare online. had similar-ish type of exercises when learning 2D animation drawing. Love doing these. It's possible to play and make up a variety of exercises from these that suits yourself, body, drawing better. Another tip is to keep your body and hand as relaxed as possible; and connect your movement with your mind/thinking/focus. Do it as a play, game, stretch, one learns easier this way.

Yes,I loved it!

i start to do it and listen to you
