The Secret to Drawing Overwhelming Detail!

Could you do a video about lots of people from the back like in a concert

Learnt a lot watching this all the way through. Very thorough video.

no one draws pictures. we draw lines. the brain creates the picture when it sees the lines.

As an pretty bad artist, watching someone else's art slowly manifest is fascinating

Hello Mr. Travers, please can I have email?

Stunning draftsmanship. I never had the patience for details like this but it's what makes these drawings so immersive

This is very good. Thank you.

Just tried this, actually work, the time i spent for the whole video? Worth it

Thank you for explaining and demonstrating this technique; this has huge implications. Wonderful video- thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this tutorial

This was very helpful, thank you! I haven't drawn in ages, but drawing architecture and nature like you do seems so calming. You've inspired me to return to this lovely hobby :)

it seems to mostly be shading

Such a useful video, thank you so much!
I'm doing botanical watercolors, so it's very tempting for me to fixate on all the details, even when I'm sketching on location. I'll have to try your approach, I'm sure that's exactly what I need to loosen up without compromising the overall impression of a busy scene.

I never thought about using the fundaments of value to create fidelity like this.

Your architecture so mind blowing ...... 😭 I wish I could reach that level someday....

This is so mind blowing.

As someone who spent 2 weeks drawing EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. ROCK of a railroad, this surely looks like it's gonna be helpful. Thanks!

My friend, u need to invest in a pop filter over your microphone

Speaking of detail: Horloge not Horoge

Thanks for sharing these arts and teaching us, Mr. Stephen.

Excellent video! Thank you, I will need to start experimenting!

I call it tactical mess

this video is amazing. are you an art teacher in a classroom too? :)
only critique is that i was distracted by dirty nails but hey we’ve all been there

This is really cool, I do something similar and I call it "schema" meaning, the mind has a model of expectations of a thing and with enough suggestions it will see that thing. For example the mental model most people have of a restaurant is that you sit down and order and then eat a meal and leave. These shortcut expectations lead people to see and experience things within that context rather than in isolation or with high scrutiny.

Yours is way way way more detailed than mine, mine is very abstract, so I'm super curious to see how you do it (watching it now) especially how you do this field of flowers and grass

Ah so you are using design in combination with the "schema"

I LOVE this so much, its so similar to my natural style but just tweaked that bit to really become that much more useful, great!!!

Oh, so you break down features into components too, with an overarching aim to create an impression of what it is. Nice!

This helps so much im always agonising over every detail i try to be a perfectionist and end up stressing out and taking weeks to months in finishing artwork ..and even though im.stressing over every line it really isnt really making it any better 😂

your belief on the "impossible" levels of detail in objects reminds me of peoples insistence that drawings of humanoids have to be done via a bunch of circles and ovals and cutting them into pieces, instead of *just fucking drawing the person*. i.e. no talent hacks trying to preach their no talent bullshit. use a finer pen and put some effort into your shit. looking closely at your work shouldnt turn in into a 4 year olds mindless doddle.

Incredible talent and great teacher....precious insight !

Ah, yes. LOD settings.

Thank you very, VERY much for such a heartfelt and informative demonstration. I learned a lot.

Stephen sir, the topic was great and great explanation, really learnt depth in art. thank you sir

I love your style 🤯 so intricate ❤️ would pay millions for a wall full of that 🤯

Useful ! Thank you

One thing I see from visual media that I like most, which is black and white comics, It's when they make a normal element without the effect, to make us interpret the effect behind as if it were perpetuating them throughout the image is pure magic.

For me, what was shown in the video is the extra foundation of the visual illusion, being detailed is a work of visual synthesis, in my opinion, combing the elements of the design or choosing to do the detail effect gives similar results, when you As you get closer, you see that they both share the same principle.

I think this is analogous to "greebling" as is known in sculpture and model building.

Great video! Fantastic artwork.

I have been painting and drawing my whole life and kind of felt this but it didn't quite click in my head. Thank you for the video, hearing you discuss it really made it click for me and has given me a boost in confidence that what I am doing is logical.

Wow! Thank you so much! I have always tried to slavishly recreate as much as I could and this really allows me to see that that is a laudable, if impossible, goal! Instead I can try to capture the mood, tone and texture to create values that seem right to the eye, going a bit more toward impressionism and it will actually be more effective than if I had went for photorealism without the technical skill and time and space to achieve it!

This is what I wanted my college professors to teach and felt I never got. Amazing, thanks! Beyond a professional teaching us moderates.

Пять баллов

A way of doing it is to trace a blurry image. That's how I learnt this effect.

I traced drawings as practice last time by using the reference as overlay at the bottom. Since the reference is blurry due to diffusion of the light, it usually make me focus more on tracing the contrast of the shadows as well as only details that i can make out (aka the recognisable parts of a drawing at first glance).

The rest of the drawing I wasn't really tracing but adding details that i thought was there by using the shadows/highlights as the base.

I've always wondered how mangakas can draw dozens and hundreds of detailed panels with a restricted time. I thought I was never able to do that, and that I didn't was born for this. But, listening to your explanation, now it makes sense to me. I'm gonna try it and maybe someday I can be the artist I'm willing to be. Thank you very much!

This was extremely interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so happy to be subscribed to your channel!

genious

wow this is great. It looks like Calvin and Hobbes style art if the artist had Adderall. Nice job

Is the last picture presented a real painting? Remarkably realistic enough that I can hardly believe it a painting by hand. Such a great painstaking effort to draw a painting. Even though you may have dismissed every single detail and stuff with blurry lines to fool people's eyes at a glance.
