I often get questions about drawing people who move. That's why I am pulling this video from the archives for you this week.

Because I often get questions about the materials I use... here's a popular video from the archives.

In today's video, I am taking you out on location, to draw in public. It might come in handy if you want to draw on location this summer.

If you've been in a bit of a rut, or you feel rusty: you know what to do! Pick up that pen and take time to draw.

Everything is interesting when you draw it.

If you feel the itch to draw, scratch it. Finding a meaningful subject is unnecessary, it costs precious drawing time (and energy), and basically, it's a form of procrastination.

Today's Draw Tip is such a habit for me, that I would almost forget to share it with you.

Today, I have something simple and fun for us.

In today's video, we'll do a sketchbook tour. I'll tell you about some of the things I learned when filling this sketchbook.

Watercolors combine well with colored pencils or crayons too. And it's very easy to take with you on location. It's the medium with which I color my world in my sketchbook.

I am learning to speak French. I make lots of mistakes, and I need to embrace the wonkiness. Just like I've learned to embrace the wonkiness when drawing. Even better, I now love the drawings that are wonky best

Over the years I’ve been teaching, I can’t count how many times I’ve been asked, “How do you develop a drawing style of your own?” The answer is: you already have a style, even though you may not realize it.

Today I am sharing a video from the archives. Let's draw our non-drawing hand!

You can do a drawing in just five minutes, but it’ll give you so much more: a little meditative moment, escaping from everything going on, an interesting moment of studying shades and shapes, and a lot of joy.

The pencil is a great tool, with wonderful features. When you add more pressure, you can get really dark areas, and with soft strokes, you can get the lightest tones possible. It's really kind of magic.

Today I am approaching my subject with the continuous line drawing. Which means I am setting a rule: I can't pick up my pen anymore, once I started drawing. Every time I draw the subject in a different position, I will try and do it in just one line. It’ll be a fun challenge!

Maybe sometimes when you want to draw, you don't know what to draw.
When drawing from observation, whatever catches your eye is interesting enough to start drawing it. And it's actually the other way around: as soon as you start drawing something, it becomes interesting.

Watercolor is such a versatile medium. It seems hard to control, but then when you play a lot with it, you'll get to know the material and its behavior better. You'll get more confident using it in your sketchbook.

Today I am letting you flip though my latest sketchbook.
I love flipping through other people's sketchbooks, and this is what I want for my upcoming book: it should feel like you're going through one of my sketchbooks.

Making a watercolor background can help to get over the fear of the blank page. You can do a bunch of washes on random pages in your sketchbook, to surprise or challenge yourself.

Today I am showing you the sketchbook pages I filled when I was in Paris a week ago. Going through these travel sketchbook pages brings me right back there! Come with!
