Hi friends and aspiring artists!

In this tutorial I want to teach you two key, basic drawing exercises for beginners. These are great exercises for warming up and also improving your visual perception and coordination.

(00:49) - Exercise #1 - A series of 3 mini warm-up exercises that will get you prepared for your drawing / sketching session.
- Suns / rays
- Circles / Ovals
- Hatching

(11:26) - Exercise #2 - Isolating shapes and lines to practice visual perception and your ability to break down complex objects and focus on the individual parts.

Let me know what you think, and if this is helpful.

I'll be sure to keep you updated regarding the course, as soon as I launch it.

Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed, please subscribe to my channel for more awesome videos. Also, feel free to leave a comment with a video request, or any follow-up questions you may have.

Have an amazing rest of the day,

- Liron

    Definitely going to be one of your best. Looking forward to buying the book when it is available.

    Considering how you mention that some lines are more comfortable and natural to the hand, I found it is also useful to draw the circles from different starting points. In drawing, you rarely have a perfect circle, but you do have curves in every direction. By practicing circles from different origins, you are practicing how to draw curves with unique starting and end points.

    I’ve been drawing on and off for 40 years. I even quit art school because I felt I couldn’t overcome some of my bad habits. I never thought about doing this. What a mind blower!I gotta do this. Thanks so much.
  • @renderingrini
    Mastering basics means you can delve into almost any field. Thank for these exercises 🧡
  • @dcs2690
    The hatching technique really works. 10 minutes doing it and I feel more confident and coordinated already.

    I like these alot. It's a great idea to save them in chronological order and try your best every time if you are a beginner. That way you will be able to see your newbie gainz and the progress you are making. It's a great idea to draw the same thing once a week too as you learn. Something small. I like drawing eyes, and it is genuinely amazing at how fast you can progress from being barely able to draw a circle to shading something that looks almost realistic
  • Often times I want to create a piece but just don’t have the motivation to do it! This helped very much, thank you.
  • @milindmorje
    I'm gonna try out these tips ASAP! Can't wait to exercise these tips.
  • @CapnButtsavage
    This was super super helpful, I feel like I was accidentally doing these before drawing. Usually I like to doodle before jumping into a drawing, and a lot of those doodles involve doing some of these exercises (lots of making circles and random lines all over) but now I'm more conscious of this as a warm-up. And these more specified exercises really help since doodling often leads to me getting distracted, really helps streamline the warm-up/motivation process!
  • @monopinion8799
    I keep coming back to the exercises over the months. Thank you for your wonderful tips.
  • @inezeaton
    I agree: once I start a warm-up, I can’t help but continue drawing! A perfect maneuver around writer’s (or should I say, artist’s) -block. Valuable to remember. Thanks Liron
  • @TheJudeJane
    The beginning exercises are helpful for getting revved up for a few hours of drawing. The last exercise with the reference photo was the cherry on top! These exercises were quite eye-opening for me (literally)! Now I find myself seeking out references in my environment to draw as well as in pages of books. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. As a side note here: I like the way you added cars to one of your watercolors. I am getting pretty good results adding traffic to scenes, but hope you can give some pointers as well. Thanks again, Liron!
  • Crazy. Tried the bush at the end watching both picture and my drawing at first. Then tried just looking at the image and not my drawing. And the later was closer to the original. Great video
  • @Apostle92627
    Hey, I'm just starting out as a digital artist and I've been wanting to learn how to draw. This video is very helpful, thank you.
  • @lorna8625
    I am so glad I found this video. I am very much a beginner, but I feel the "warm up" exercise will help me tremendously. Thank you Liron.
  • This is unbelievably helpful, thank you so much! I' m excited to start on your other lessons.
  • @partialaxis9990
