I've just started to learn to draw today (I can't attend classes, so I'm relying solely on 'how to draw' books and videos like this). I have to admit, it's pretty interesting and informative

Very interesting ... ( 4 weeks ago by AwesomeGirl86)

Very interesting tips! :)
I like the part where you show how to hold the pencil.
I like draw, too. So this helps me a lot.
Thanks!

Yeah. And the next ... ( 3 weeks ago by karlakachel)

Yeah. And the next second he's holding it the "wrong" way again...

Look at 5:44. He ... ( 3 weeks ago by karlakachel)

Look at 5:44. He holds the pencil in the middle and you can see the range his hand has got. Then 6:13 - "the propably best way" to hold a pencil blablabla. But then 7:10 the learning how to sketch. He holds the pencil as if he were writing. And that was before 5:44 where he showed that by holding the pencil that way you have a very limited range. Whatever...

you said so ... ( 3 weeks ago by Pitchaxistheorem)

you said so yourself "PROBABLY THE BEST WAY" so what's your point? is there a best way?

it's not about me ... ( 3 weeks ago by karlakachel)

it's not about me or what I think. it's about the artist here. he should say why he did it "wrong" in regard to his own definition... whatever...

about pencil ... ( 3 weeks ago by nishman686)

about pencil holding technique: he is saying that he prefers one way MOST OF THE TIME, but sometimes to achieve a specific detail or style, it is more successful if you hold the pencil another way. ultimately, you hold a pencil or any other tool in a way that is most comfortable to YOU. over the years, artists have found many ways to hold a pencil and are sharing their discoveries and what works best for them. you are the only person who determines what is best for you.

oh, and great ... ( 3 weeks ago by nishman686)

oh, and great videos by the way. i like the personal philosophy you include, it shows that there is more to art than medium on paper.

The Smudges happen ... ( 2 weeks ago by DonLitichi)

The Smudges happen to me because I write with my left hand. That's why I use 2H pencils, they are very light, and don't smudge.

The way he holds ... ( 2 weeks ago by nBode)

The way he holds the pencil has nothing to do with anything. He's teaching us to draw, not himself. If he hasn't developed "probably the best way techniques", so what? That doesn't mean he can't show us a better way, even if he doesn't use it or is use to or prefers another method.

haha you are all ... ( 2 weeks ago by karlakachel)

haha you are all very funny... but why are you so pissed because I criticised him when I found a mistake (which he CLEARLY DID!!!). Of course I know that it is an expression and every artist holds the pencil different from the other. (By the way: Jimi Hendrix played the guitar the wrong way.). Get over it and accept that he is not the best painter in the world and not a very good teacher. He knows techniques (which he does not use ;)) and that's it. But there's more to an artist than that.

what the hell? That ... ( 2 weeks ago by InnerGarra)

what the hell? That guy is an awesome artist and he can be an artist however he wants to be. The technique an artiests uses is not supposed to be criticed (sp?). He probabily isn't the best painter and whoever is considered to be the best painter is probabily not eaither cause there are alot of unknown artists out there. so yea... get my point?

not really, hendrix ... ( 2 weeks ago by jackgl93)

not really, hendrix plucked strings and made sound, just like everyone else.
