Week 2: First Video Lesson: Drawing

">
In this video I am using a Charcoal Pencil, pad of News Print Paper, Kneaded Eraser and a cheap travel easel. You want to have a / tilt for your pad of paper -make sure your easel is adjusted to the proper angle. To sharpen the pencil to have a long lead I use an exacto knife.

Learning to draw this way will keep you loose and free you up. Let go of any judgement and have fun trying a new way. It is like starting over so go easy on yourself and really embrace learning a new technique.

I look forward to drawing with you more soon! I will be posting the 2nd video in a couple of days so stay tuned...and subscribe to SLOANARTSTV Channel on YouTube!

Thanks for watching and keep opening to your creativity!

hey that looks like some real fun, i have never drawn that way before (with the thumb and finger position like that), i will most definitely give it a try, thanks sloan. i also didn't know about the word "draw"... good information and it makes wonderful sense.
