- Having a bit of fun while I talk about drawing and why we do it, and how I keep it fun. Oh, and there might just be a giveaway... or is this clickbait? Hmmm...

I guess if there was a take away from this video it'd be, if you want to continue to progress in your drawing skills, you need to keep it fun sometimes. Make sure to take the time to draw those things that got you picking up a pencil in the first place. It's too easy to put that pressure on ourselves to have every drawing that we do be harder and more complicated than the last. That's fine for a while. But doing nothing but that causes burnout and saps all the fun from our pencils. I'm probably most proud of the paintings that were tough and displayed some mastery with my technique. But the paintings and drawings I'm most fond of are those ones I sat down and had a ball doing. Make space in your life for both... you'll be goat you did! Sorry, I meant, you'll be glad you did!
Drawing is great fun. Watching you draw that goat was great entertainment! Thanks!
I love the drawing you did of the cowboy on his horse. The silhouettes are so strong because of the dark forms, in front of the white cloud, in front of the dark sky. Separating silhouettes of objects is so important and it's always a treat to see someone consciously doing it. Also, those watercolour pens are pretty sweet. ;)
Thanks @LukaBelle, much appreciated. This was done for a book of cowboy songs I illustrated. The poem was "A Cowboy's Prayer".
It's so nice of you to share your gifts from you drawing 😊
I used to have dairy goats - you NAILED it! They are so smart and lovable! Like dogs! I stacked a bunch of tires for them to play on - so fun!
Awww, that's great! As you know, they'll climb on anything that's there... including each other, lol!
Such an inspiration! Love your videos. I typically learn so much. DRAWING is sometimes my favorite part!
Used to have goats and sheep…goats are funny with their individual personalities…and they’ll eat ANYTHING! …even tires…lol.
Good luck to everyone on the DRAWING!
Drawing, drawing, Drawing! I love your drawing, very inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing..
Drawing and goats make me happy. Thank you for your friendly and joyful teaching!
Always happy to see new videos from you. Loved the drawing!
I love your drawing style and have been missing your videos! Thanks for coming back!!
THANKS! So glad to be back... I missed talking with everyone too.
Wonderful goaty drawing. Thanks for sharing the prize.
Hi Steve.... of course I would be interested in one of those sets! Thanks for the offer and if I win maybe it will get me back into more traditional "DRAWING" again. My work has kept me in the digital end of things, but as you know there are deadlines to meet and digital makes that much easier. I've never had goats but a neighbor has them and I've seen them do some serious, high jumping too. Great illustration, maybe you should offer that to a possible winner too! Have a great Summer and stay cool.
Fun! Best goat drawing I've seen today (ok, only). But still you may be the goat artist g.o.a.t. 😲🤣
OH! and I'm NOT intending to enter the giveaway BTW. I've go more pens than I have sense.
Awww, thanks Steve. NO, YOU"RE THE G.O.A.T.! And Reese is the GOAT HEAD
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArt 🤣
Thanks so much! Love your DRAWING tutorials!
LOVE IT Steve! 👏👏👏👍👍👍. You should make this into a T-shirt!
Hahaha, what a sweet face😅😊😊 thanks Steve ❤
Your goat DRAWING was so much fun!
Thanks Thomas...you're in! Good luck and Draw On!
I also love drawing. I would be fun to try new things.
Great sketch. So inspirational.
Pretty darn cute drawing!💕
I love the goat, also love money can’t buy happiness. So but drawing.
I love goats and your drawing demo! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. And I'm hoping to buy a goat someday.
Good to see you again. Love to see your drawing skills.!
Thank you! It's good to be back. I was crazy busy doing some commissions and didn't have time to post. I missed you "guys"!
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArt I used to live in Prescott myself. So it’s especially good to see a fellow Arizonan.
I moved to Alaska and lived there 24 years. Great art references there.
Now reside in Texas. I miss Arizona tbh!
I was born in AZ.
Thank You for all the awesome videos! they have inspired me to get back to DRAWING and painting! I love to play your videos as I paint or draw, I feel that my artwork has improved! sense i started watching them!
Congratulation on winning,
Aww, thanks Cynthia. Comments like yours are what motivates me to do these videos!
Goat head with ya bad self. Love it
Hey there Dougg with two g's!
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArt it’s rough having a first name that ends with a G and a last name that starts with a G:)
I'm in EU, but still commenting for the algo - hope someone puts their new toys to good use!
I also love goats.
I think what gets me most about them is that they can be so inquisitive and I know I am probably just anthropomorphising to the max, but I really do feel many of them have a sense of humour akin to ours!
Thank you for your comment and for helping the channel, that's so kind of you! I really believe goats are some of the sweetest and intelligent animals there are. And they are a great way to get rid of weeds while being environmentally friendly.
I loved this video! I needed some cheering up. Thank you for all that you do. No need to enter me in the drawing. I’m blessed with enough art supplies! 😂
Watching you drawing this goat reminded me of a baby goat I had years ago. Pure joy! Please include me in your prize drawing…just wish the prize was a goat!
Now there's an idea!
I love drawing in fountain pen and Diamine Prussian Blue ink.
I hear you. I also love drawing with fountain pens. My favorite is Fountain Pen Revolution's Safron Himalaya with a flex nib. Most of the inks I use are waterproof, so I love the Rohrer & Klingner Sketch Inks, or DeAtrimentis Document inks. Though I'm starting to discover the joys of water resistant inks too, and then brushing them with water to get some tone into the drawing. I'll have to try the Diamine PB ink.
Drawing, goat was very cute. I had an angora that lived with my horses and she thought she was a horse.
Yeah, there's something about horses and other animals. I know around here, lots of folks have a goat, sheep or donkey to keep their horses company. The horses and goats seem to love it.
Thanks for your "Drawing" video. I do enjoy them very much. Thanks for the enjoyable and educational content.
I see what you did there... very clever! 🤪
@ArtbyJoshuaBradley Congratulations! You are the winner of theGelly Roll Pen Set! Email me at atk1961@aol.com with your contact info and shipping address, and I'll pop these in the mail for you. Happy Drawing!! If I don't hear from you two days from today (Wed August 16th), I'll have to move to the next name and draw another winner, so don't delay!!
@SteveAtkinsonFineArt oh wow, no way! Totally unexpected. Thank you! I very much enjoy ALL your videos!
I am just starting to get into ink Drawing and would love to have one of those beautiful sets to practice with! Right now I am using some black Microns and greyTombows but would love to add color. Thanks for your great videos 🙂
Hey, good luck Karen!
Love the goat.
Congratulations on the contest win.
Thanks Karen, are you wanting to be entered in the contest?
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArt I thought about it but I have soooooo many supplies that I hardly use now. I figured better to let someone who would use they items have the chance.
Thank you for doing the give away and thank you so much for checking in ❤️
Thanks for drawing!
Well I’m not in USA but regardless your Goat drawing made me smile 😊
hey Steve a question, doesn't alcohol based markers / pens fade away with time, or changes color ? someone suggested to me not to use them if making art with them you want to last.
Love goats, love drawing in ink, love your drawing and I’d love to win the pens ☺️
Best of luck to you @Billyzipwitch! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it. Draw on!
Drawing is something I don’t do as often as I’d like. Need to make the habit a daily thing. Any tips? Maybe you have a video on this already you can point me to? Thanks great goat! Thanks for sharing!
All I can tell you is how I do it. When I was an illustrator and wanted to learn to oil paint to transition to fine art and I was employed at a package design studio, I knew I'd be too tired to want to paint when I got home, so during the workweek I would get up 2 hours or so before I left to go to my job and I'd paint (when I was sharp and fresh). I'd go outside and paint for one day on the weekends. If something like this doesn't appeal to you, I sometimes trick myself into sitting down to draw. I tell myself, OK, you are tired, I get it, but you can draw for 10 minutes. Everyone has 10 minutes in them. The starting is the hard part. Once you're drawing and concentrating on it, I find an hour or two has flown by in no time at all. But even if you quit after only 10 minutes, well, you're 10 minutes better than you were before you sat down! One other thing. Keep yourself set up to draw. Lots of times people have the best intentions to learn to draw, but don't want to go through the trouble of having to pull everything out and get set up. Yeah, it's only a drawing pad, and some pencils, and erasers, and drawing reference, and lighting, and a clean surface to draw on. Wait a minute, that's a lot of things to deal with! Just keep your set up as ready to go as you can and you're more likely than not to want to sit down and draw. I also put on music if I have anything on at all. No TV. No distractions. If someone else is watching tv or being loud, remove yourself to some place you can control.
Sir! Give video guidance on the subject of banyan tree, root, leaf, picture understanding and its colors.
I've never drawn a banyan tree, but will look them up to see what makes them special.
how fun! i love those zebra pens too, even when they're dying they have great scratchy effects. i'm in love with the picture you drew for the blick contest, gives me good ol' louis l'amour vibes. did you use micron graphic pens for it? it almost has a linocut feel to it, super cool. i doubt it's something you'd make prints of but i sure would love one! :D i have plethoras of pens i don't use for drawing already so i am not entering, but your generosity is stellar. take care!
Thanks @macaroni_jim. I did the drawing for a book of cowboy songs, and it was done with only using my Zebra pen. I love those pens! You take care too and thanks for checking in!
I forgot to mention, if you email me at steve@steveatkinsonstudio.com and remind me that you'd like a print, I'm happy to do one for you. The print size would be about 8X10". Let me know and I'll get that to you. Thanks, Steve
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArt a book of cowboy songs, how cool! is it published? very cool you did this just with that pen, it looks so textured.
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArt Hi again Steve, wow! that's mighty kind of you! I'll email you soon for sure :) thanks a million!
That’s the thing…. When to stop! 😜
I need help in my soul to be set free to start drawing
You did not over paint your drawing. BTW I completed two Inktober seasons. I’m new to your channel but I will check to see if you did any Inktober drawings. I would love to see you abandon the pencil and go straight to ink drawing and see what you think of happy accidents. 😅
Haha 9 mos ago you did an ink urban sketch. Great stuff in perspective.
Oh boy! I got a lot to watch. I’m just so curious about what a fine art artist does with Inktober. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks @@Mity_Moose ! I have done a few inktober sketches, and absolutely love the concept. Perhaps... just perhaps... I can get all the way through it this year, though I probably won't use the prompts for what I sketch. Thanks for watching!!
Sadly I’m from Canada and can’t participate in the giveaway, but here’s a comment for engagement😊
I'm so sorry @matamia6747 ! Maybe next give away?!?
I’m just starting on my drawing journey hope you pick me
Love goats! Please enter me in the drawing for the watercolor brush markers, thanks,
Kathy B.
You're in, thanks Kathy!
@michaelbusby1802
Congratulations Karen! You are the winner of the watercolor brush markers! Email me at atk1961@aol.com and I'll pop these in the mail for you. Happy Drawing!! If I don't hear from you two days from today (Wed August 16th), I'll have to move to the next name and draw another winner, so don't delay!!
I'm sorry Kathy, sadly, I didn't hear from you in the time allotted, and so I had to draw another name today, Thursday August 17. The brush pen set is no longer available.
I have goats
Ain't they great?
DRAWING. Please consider me for the giveaway.
This is a great video, and I love your attitude. Living in Oklahoma, I am 52 and retired, so I am free to pursue art full time now. Mainly, I have worked digitally and with graphite, but I have been developing an increasing interest in ink and markers. (I love the work of artists like Bernie Wrightson.) Regardless, I look forward to your future videos.
@samreevesartist CONGRATULATIONS, YOU WON THE WATERCOLOR BRUSHES SET GIVEAWAY! Originally I drew another name and gave them several days to answer my comment or I'd have to pick another name... I even waited an extra day, but nope, no answer. So, I drew another name and that's YOU! Email me at atk1961@aol.com to give me your name and shipping address and I'll pop these in the mail for you. Happy Drawing!! If I don't hear from you by Sunday August 20th, I'll have to move to the next name and draw another winner, so don't delay!!
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArt Wow! I feel sorry for the other person, but I will happily receive the art supplies in their stead. I will send you my information ASAP. Thank you so much!
@samreevesartist it's OK. If they do respond, I'll send them a gift as well!
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArt Generous man. 👍
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArtAlso I sent the email.
I heard you say drawing- BUT - I don't want them - so don't pick me :)
Awww, are you sure???
yeah ... I just don't use that kind of stuff ... not against it, just like other mediums better ... they would dry up in a drawer with other dried up markers :) @@SteveAtkinsonFineArt
"PromoSM" 😪
My drawing skills are weak
Please keep at it if you love drawing, or if you even love the THOUGHT of drawing. We all start out being atrocious at it, but it's worth all the energy you put into it. And every once in a while along the way you'll hit one out of the park and that will keep you coming back, until you are the home run king!
