I’ve been going through an artblock…but instead of completely stepping away from drawing, I’ve found it fun and effective to just experiment with completely different drawing styles, and gradually let the fun of drawing ooze back into my daily life. I hope you’re excited to try these ideas out and if you have other suggestions, please share them in the comment section so we can all help each other out.

Learn step-by-step how to draw a girl with an umbrella using basic shapes to construct her body first, and then you'll have an easier time placing the details. This approach can help you plan out your entire drawing in just a few short minutes, so you don't waste hours on a drawing that, in the end, doesn't turn out looking quite right.
To learn more about this technique, please watch the intro video to this series: youtube.com/watch?v=-6F5q_5HC3o&list=PLM2qebyvfnyGP-g8fiVt4WU3B_ltR_Lh-&index=1

This is a followup to part 1 youtu.be/ynqboCfB2So. In this video, we're going to draw more complex flowers and plants using the same basic shapes.
Have you ever spent hours drawing a flower only to realize after you're done that it's crooked and not even close to where you want it on the page?
This drawing approach can help you easily plan out your entire drawing in just a few short minutes, so you know everything's in the right place, is the right size and if something's off, you can easily fix it before you commit hours to drawing all the intricate details.
Open your sketchbook and get ready to draw some simple shapes like circles, triangles, and ovals, but don't be afraid to morph them to your advantage as well!
If you have any additional ideas or insights to share with the community, please leave them in the comment section. We'd love to hear it :) Thank you!!

Is the only pencil you own an HB a.k.a #2 pencil from school? No worries!!
In this tutorial, I use a cheap dollar store pencil (worth only $0.10 as it came in a pack of 20), a regular facial tissue, and a normal sheet of printer paper. The pencil was scratchy and difficult 😐 to blend smoothly - Definitely not the best drawing tool, but it also wasn't the end of the world. Follow along with me as we work through these obstacles together to create a beautiful drawing of full plump lips!

Learn why your drawings look flat and what to do to make them look more realistic.
If you use 3D shapes to construct your drawings, it will help you draw things that convey depth. If you want to become very good at creating the illusion of depth on paper, you will need to learn how to draw in perspective. Let me know if you want to see any videos on perspective drawing!

This tutorial is an introduction to help you get started and give you the confidence to approach drawing more complex subjects so you can develop your drawing skills and explore your passion further. Learning how to construct the foundation of a drawing helps you see the underlying structures instead of getting lost in the little details. This can speed up your process significantly and over time will help increase your drawing accuracy, thanks to the power of OBSERVATION.
Open your sketchbook and get ready to draw some simple shapes, but don't be afraid to morph them to your advantage as well.
Whether you're drawing a very detailed scene or a complex object, this approach can help you plan out your entire drawing in just a few short minutes, so you don't waste hours on a drawing that, in the end, doesn't turn out looking quite right.

✅ MORE DIY TOOLS YOU CAN MAKE
- How to make a blending stump: youtube.com/watch?v=LmstMj8B3xk
✏️ SOLID ERASERS I TESTED IN THIS VIDEO WITH RESULTS!
Notes: I judge how good each eraser is by how well it erases (how many dabs it takes to erase something), how well it holds its shape when I mold it/when I use it to erase something. Erasers ranked as mediocre are still viable, they're just less effective to work with (eg: it may require more effort to erase with)
- Sakura Latex-Free, Non-PVC Eraser (Quick to knead. Doesn't require adhesive. Makes a great kneaded eraser.)
- PaperMate PVC-Free Eraser (Quick to knead. Doesn't need any adhesive. Makes a great kneaded eraser): amzn.to/2WzKNcs
- Tombow Mono Plastic Eraser (Quick to knead. Somewhat crumbly. Needs some adhesive or graphite to soften it up. Makes a great kneaded eraser. Will become stiff when it cools back down from the warmth of your fingers, so it requires kneading before use. You can use this to your advantage, though - using it as both a solid eraser and putty eraser. It can hold its shape extremely well for erasing the tiniest areas): amzn.to/3dru1nj
- Pentel Hi-Polymer Eraser (Quick to knead. Somewhat crumbly putty. Needs some adhesive to fix crumbliness. Makes a good kneaded eraser): amzn.to/35H5s26
- Dixon HB Pencil from dollarstore, latex-free (Takes some effort to knead. Not crumbly, but feels drier than all the solid erasers listed above. Works better without adhesive, but it is quite stiff. Makes a good kneaded eraser after you mix it with some graphite): amzn.to/2WIs92a
- Random white eraser from an old pencil case. I probably haven't used it in like 12 years (It was so stiff that it didn't even feel like rubber (It still worked anyway. I was able to quickly form it into a putty without any adhesive. Makes a good kneaded eraser)
- Paw Patrol Eraser from dollarstore (Quick to knead. Crumbly putty. Needs some adhesive. Makes a good kneaded eraser)
- PaperMate Pink Pearl Latex/PVC-Free Eraser (Extremely crumbly. Needs a lot of adhesive to become putty. Makes a mediocre kneaded eraser because it requires so much adhesive in order to be a decent putty eraser, that it can be difficult to mold into certain shapes without it sticking to my fingers and it changes shape too easily when I erase - you can observe this at the 4:13 mark. If you don't need it to erase super fine details, it will do a good job): amzn.to/2SMryLx
- Studio HB Pencil from dollarstore (Results were similar to the Pink Pearl eraser. Makes a mediocre kneaded eraser)
✏️ MY FAVORITE STORE-BOUGHT KNEADED ERASER
I used this for some comparison shots.
- Prismacolor Kneaded Eraser (My favorite brand. I'm not sponsored by them. A NEW kneaded eraser will need to be broken into by adding some graphite particles and kneading it well to get it to soften up): amzn.to/33VEnYt

Here's a little more info on some of the tools mentioned:
Paper Weight: This number is not the actual weight of the sketchbook or drawing pad. It is the weight of 500 sheets. The average copy paper or printer paper is around 20-30lbs (pounds).
Drawing Pad: I find that the thicker it is, the better because thicker sheets can hold up to a lot more wear and tear, especially when I'm working on a portrait drawing that takes hours of work. For me, 70lbs works great. Keep into consideration that I'm light to medium handed. If you draw using a lot of pressure, I'd recommend a drawing pad that's at least 80lbs.
Kneaded Eraser: When you first buy it, the eraser will NEED to be molded until it becomes SOFT. To speed up this process, scribble on your sketchpad to create a lot of graphite DUST. Then press your eraser onto the page, allowing it to pick up the graphite. Then knead the eraser so it envelops the graphite (knead it well). Basically, the more you use the eraser, the softer and more pliable it will become. You'll also notice the color turn darker (which is why the packaged eraser in my left hand looks so light in color).
To clean a kneaded eraser, just fold it in on itself a few times.
Tissues: The brand I use is Scotties.

A smiling mouth is a little tricky to draw, especially when teeth are involved, so it does take some practice to be able to grasp. Don't give up and keep trying until you succeed!

If you're just starting out, don't focus on drawing a "perfect circle", instead focus on drawing a "better" circle every time :)
Learning to draw circles FREEHAND comes in handy all the time because a lot of drawings are constructed using this shape, such as the human head, eyes, hands and more.
Finally got around to making this tutorial after many requests :) I hope you guys find it helpful! Let me know in the comment section which technique works best for you!

This was a really fun challenge, and the restrictions made it even more enjoyable haha! Working in full screen is so immersive (I hate all those photosphop distractions) and surprisingly, I didn't miss the UNDO button at all.
I love the way this turned out :) Also, really glad this was done on the Cintiq Pro because if it was drawn in pencil, the graphite would have been so shiny!

This drawing tablet was generously sent to me by Wacom (thank you Wacom!!), but rest assured, all opinions in this video are my own. Wacom tablets are just the best, how can I NOT gush over them?
I haven't done much drawing on it yet because I just got it, but so far I love it! Drawing/shading feels amazing and I'm really really happy with the adjustable stand - it makes such a big difference being able to draw at a steeper angle!
I'm super duper impressed with it so far and excited for those of you who have been waiting for Wacom to release a budget friendly display tablet :) The Cintiq 16 is such an amazing entry level display tablet for such an affordable price.
If you want to see me do a full speed drawing and/or review on it, let me know!

It took me a long time to grasp/learn the Loomis method myself and so I wanted to create an easy tutorial that anyone could learn from. If you have a copy of Andrew Loomis' book, you'll notice that I added some of my own techniques into the two-part video series so you can learn how to draw faces even more easily, even if you're a complete beginner.
The 3/4 head is a challenging one, but with this method, you'll be able to draw it in no time!
You can check out Andrew Loomis's AWESOME book in the link down below!

The Andrew Loomis head drawing method is AMAZING, but it took me an extremely long time to fully grasp in order to craft this tutorial. There were some details missing from his book that I couldn't wrap my head around until I started practicing the method every day for about a month. I'm a slow learner and not as bright as the average Joe, but I finally started to piece it all together. This tutorial is meant to fill in all those blanks that I struggled with when I was learning the Loomis method so that I can help other artists learn it more easily and grasp the concepts quickly.
I hope this tutorial was able to clear up any questions or difficulties you have regarding the Loomis method.
Please excuse my raspy voice. I'm still getting over a cold :)

First time I discovered the speed drawing challenge was on Jazza's channel. You can check out his awesome video here: youtube.com/watch?v=A7nNtDsLY9k
So glad I did this digitally, because I practiced a few times just to calm my nerves and I would have wasted so much paper haha.
