Apologies for the background music in this video. It was recommended to have a music bed way back when I did this video. I used it on one other but never after and there are over 110 videos (more added too as time goes on) in my How to Draw Playlist.
Have fun with all the videos and your drawing - here is the playlist link to all the videos.

theartofbilly wow . This video blew my mind. I’ve been drawing for 3 years and I never used basic shapes like how you did. I like the magazine thing . Drawing shapes on the pictures . I want to try that
yea the music is annoying but it was worth watching anyways!
I will try this magazine things

Several weeks ago, I bought a sketch pad, an eraser, and a box of pencils. The blank page is so intimidating! Thanks for the ideas.
Fantastic. Have a lot of fun drawing and doodling. Start simple with a mug or cup in front of you. Lots of objects around your house to draw quickly and progress from there ✍️👍
Yes..true😆😁
How’s it going?
What I do to overcome that is scribble on the first page, it’s relieving and all of the intimidation is gone
Try sketching on scrap paper first 🙂
It's 5 am and I have never been more inspired to draw in my entire life. Thank you so much for this amazing video!!

are you still learn drawing ?
I have been searching high and low for a drawing tutorial from someone who doesn't assume I already know how to draw... And I think I found it. Thank you for reinforce the concept that we should enjoy and practice as much as possible. I can't wait to see the other videos.
Lovely to help you Leticia with your art. It is about having fun and enjoying creating new pieces of art. Enjoy & all the beast with your creative endeavours.

I started taking drawing seriously about a month ago and have since become obsessed with drawing, I thought I was weird for enjoying drawing circles and ellipses over and over again, it's nice to know someone as skilled as yourself did the same. Thanks for the videos, they have helped me to enjoy the process rather than obsess about perfection to the point I wasn't having fun.
Michael Dunleavy Thank you for your comment and I still enjoy drawing and all my art the same way - to have fun and produce something that I am pleased with and learn something new as I go along with each piece I produce. Glad to have helped and encouraged you in your drawing too. Have fun :D
I used to draw a lot when I was a kid but had a loss of direction. I also became discouraged when I started seeing other people's drawings and paintings. Somewhere over the years, I started making short stories but wanted to bring life to them and turn them into comics. I had the idea of creating characters but I was having a lot of issues with getting the body types together and detailing faces. I dropped the ball again and wanted to go back to the drawing board (hehe....art joke) on learning how to do character creation. I stumbled across your video and it really helps. Thanks so much for reminding me to "enjoy" drawing. My tenseness is gone now and I have an easier approach to drawing all sorts of things (including back grounds. Thanks so much! *subscribed*
+ChocKsic Thanks so much for your kind comments about my art tutorial vid. Glad to have helped you get back into your drawing and art. Enjoy creating your comic :)
Same here ... and now i'm 18 and drawing after 3-4 years literally... i think last time i draw in class 8th when i had a drawing as a subject☺
s a m e
Same story for me 😔✋
hello
Best Tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you sir. Your advice has taught me not to ever get frustrated at my artwork and to keep on practicing!
If I ever get famous as a Full time animator, I will remember who motivated me back to art! Believe it!
will you also become hokage?
Who knows!... He he. Just great to help people with the basics of drawing ✏️👍😃
Blue Penguin m
yeah we must free our hands in drawing in this way we maybe could draw anything we want in the future with perfection
Thank you so much for your kind comment and glad to have helped you a little in your artistic journey. Enjoy and keep practicing toward your goal of becoming a full time animator. Have a lot of fun.
Hello Billy, I really appreciate your videos especially this one. This really unlocked myself from so many other "tutorials" which were trying to teach people following specific routines. I could not even start to draw with these videos. The most important thing is to pick up your pen and start! I really learnt that KEY thing from your video. Thank you so much!
This man presents a very healthy approach to art!!

as a lefty this is so comforting to watch.
👍😊 Thank you - glad you were comforted.
Been nuts here so not done a new lesson for a while. New one today though. Captain Jack Sparrow 🏴☠️✍️👍
I was found out learning these shapes & not focusing on whole image painting & doing it in pencil first & shade in. Now seeing those shapes in everything so tyvm & just keep doing more until like “muscle memory” & great idea using paper ads to go around to learn! Ty!!
when i was about 4-6 years old, i loved drawing houses and girls and trees. i used to think i could really draw well until i went to preschool and saw how better my classmates' works were. i became sad, and kind of gave up on drawing. now that i'm 13, still bad at drawing, perhaps i'll give it one last try thanks to this video. such a great help 💘
I was put off at school for the same reason. I'm 50 now and starting to try and learn. Keep it up you will have a great chance especially to pick it up again. Good luck.
+Penelope Cruz I hope you have carried on drawing - just enjoy it and get better over time. Sorry for the delay in replying as I only just got notified of your comment!
I have been doing new 'How to Draw' videos using the characters out of the new 'Inside Out' film.
I use them to show you how to have 'Joy' in your drawing. Not to get 'Angry' when things go wrong and you make mistakes (as I do sometimes too). To not have 'Sadness' when you art is going how you want it to. Not to be 'Fear'ful of of drawing new subjects and then finally don't get 'Disgusted' with your art.
Joy, Anger and Sadness are online now. Then Fear and Disgust are coming in the next two weeks.
So here are the links to the new vids - enjoy.

+Big C Enjoy your drawing too Big C :)
+theartofbilly thanks for that I'm still going trying faces. My idea I tried to think of the most memorable/beautiful actresses. Unoriginal but Audrey Hepburn seemed a good muse. At least first drawing looks like a woman. Thanks both for the encouragement.
+Big C Fantastic and enjoy - saw an Audrey Hepburn piece of art while out today - she is a great subject for you to tackle :)
I didn't know how to approach learning to draw, until I saw this tutorial. Draw the outlines then fill in the details, it makes perfect sense. I'm fully confident and ready to dive in. Thanks
My pleasure - glad to have helped you with your art. Have fun drawing.
The simple change of the way I use the pencil massively improved my drawing, this entire video is wonderful, thank you.
Jacob Gentile Glad to have helped you with your drawing Jacob. Have fun with your future art.
I thought this was a spectacular tutorial. You offered very simple tips, yet they were so mind blowing that it actually helped me a lot. Drawing the shapes in magazines/pics is such a great idea. I'm about to do it right now. Thanks so much!
Thanks Jackie. Glad to have helped and encouraged you with your art.
I love how down to earth and real you are, I am rubbish at drawing but your simple explanations and just your good helping attitude. I love the drawings in your sketch book and I hope I will some day be as good as you. I’m not exaggerating when I say your video has inspired me to just grab a sketch book and practice. Great vid thanks!
(Love the Guy Martin sketches they look so realistic!)
Thank you sod much. Have fun with your drawing :)
Thank you though.. I am 19 years old and have knew how to draw at all (due to lack of interest).. Now I have a slight idea.
Matthew Chia My pleasure. Thanks for your kind comment and enjoy drawing :D
5 years later, im 19 and i also just recently got interested haha
Its like i tell myself im not progressing but anytime I watch these videos its literally everything I've done on my own. It inspires me, but i never know what to draw so i just have books full of loose quick random nonsense. Some stuff looks good some doesnt. I just tell myself to keep pushing. I hate the days when i mentally block myself from creating because im just frustrated
Just keep drawing - it is a lifetime pursuit like any creative endeavour. Have fun with all your art.
AMAZING trick really very useful video
My pleasure Rais - glad to have helped you with your art 👍✏️
I've watched 5 tutorials for very beginning drawing, and this is the best. I really like how you implement the tips very quickly, and show the complete project. I liked the crow on the fence. I never thought to start by tracing things, that's an awesome tip that I'm going to use! This is great. Subscribed!
Thank you very much ontario39212. Glad to have helped you with your drawing a little. Have fun with your future art.
You might enjoy this too - a little bit on from the basics video but shows what you can do with the techniques too. How to Draw a Harry Potter Portrait in Year 1 at Hogwartsczcams.com/video/cw8J3rmNacY/video.html
IV just started to draw at the age of 27, my areas of interest would be fishing, outdoors/scenery and gaming characters. Really like the idea of breaking things down into shapes, iv started to draw one thing everyday, but a random item that way I'm focusing on all areas not just things I know I can draw
That is great and have a lot of fun. The shapes really helps to break any subject down.
This was fantastic. Just what I needed & I love your enthusiasm & joy in sharing your journey & great basic tips. I used to draw but didn't know what I was doing; just used a reference image & hoped! Now I have pencil 'squiggles over every piece of paper I write on: still hoping! & now, more structured approach in understanding-there is hope! thank you!!
Thanks Megan. Glad to help and encourage you with your art. Have fun with your drawing :)
You have no idea how helpful this was...I'm gonna practice my shapes right now. I'll also make sure to stuck around for some other helpful tips from you. Thanks so much.
Hi Billy, I am an artist and have also written a couple of books on the subject, but I must say 'Snap' with your ideas and mine. You are like a wonderful breath of fresh air and a great teacher. Now entering into my 85th year, I honestly cannot remember when I started, but my Dear Mother said I was drawing well by the age of two. (Think that may have been my Dear Mothers pride), but I did sell my first drawing at age eleven. Whatever I draw or paint, the thrill has never left me, even though I may be disappointed by the finished result lol. Every success to you Billy.
Thank you Daniel for your kind words about my art tutorial.
I am only just past half way in my artistic journey compared to your lifelong legacy. That is so lovely what you have commented on here. I have the thoughts of 'Can I still do this?...' every time I get to a new piece. We are always wanting to do better and improve in our art. Thank you again so much for your kind words and continued success to you with your art too. I say to many folks that it is a lifelong journey and your life is testimony to that.
Kind regards,
Billy
@@theartofbilly Hi Billy obviously a 'Do It Now' man like myself, as my dear Grandfather taught me. Your comments are greatly appreciated and I look forward to more videos from you. I have been asked so many times to do some videos, but alas, most of the technology passes over my head. I am okay with emails and posting artwork on line, but that is it. I do not have a website either, but a well known artist once said 'You are the original organic artist" Which I took as a compliment (hope it was lol and this has stuck).
This is because I do not measure whatever I draw and paint and use only the three primaries. My book Why Measure? Only came about from my live classes, where a high number of first time students had an Eureka moment and requested it in book form. The book itself is bad in every way Except it does what it says on the tin, Providing you work the method and exercises and not just read it. Sadly, the three local galleries where I was exhibiting and teaching have now closed and I have not the energy or heart to look for replacements, so for the last two years, financially, has been quite a drop, although I had a very successful holiday in Spain October last year with nine portrait commissions in the week I was there. Sorry Billy ,I rattle on, please forgive me. Would really be great to meet you in person one day. Sincerely, Daniel McGowan
It sounds like you have had a very busy time in your many years of art Daniel. Especially while on holiday!!! I always thought holidays were a time to 'knock off'. All fun though in art :)
It's been a decade since I haven't do drawing. It seems to me that I dont know how to do it again. Now I'm watching this tutorial, it makes me feel to try it once again. Thank you.
Glad to have inspired you to get back to drawing. Have fun :)
hi. I’m really glad I found your video. I’m left handed too. I drew since i was a kid and not know any basic of sketch. I’m 31 now and try to follow my childhood talent.My problem is how to hold pencil technically with left hand.You video give me strength. thank you from the bottom of my heart
Well, it's nice, that your drawings in the sketchbook from 2 decades ago look better, than anything I've ever drawn
Thank you for your kind comment. I started drawing aged about 7 and that is what I have focused on most of my life. Just have fun and enjoy your drawing and aim to get better with each piece of art you produce. It is a fun process.
Thank you!!! very much. I was able to follow along and sitting at my dining room table
sketch along drawing a cup and a container with a label. You are very, very good and your instructions are so clear but, yet, simple to understand. Keep up the good work. Thanks again. Ms. Buf
Thank you for your kind comments about my art tutorial video. Glad it helped you with your drawing. Have fun with your future art.
Regards,
Billy.
Taking the local paper and drawing over the shapes to get your hand and eye working together ... fantastic piece of advice for beginners. Love that suggestion. Great video, thanks.
+Chris Hettinger Thanks for your kind comment about my drawing tutorial vid Chris. It is my pleasure to be able to help folks with simple art suggestions. Drawing over newspaper and magazine photos was something I did in my teens - just seemed a good idea and works really well. Have fun with your art :)
This is probably the most inspirational video on drawings out there!! I love this.. You should be proud of yourself..
Thank you very much for your kind comments about my art video. Glad tho have helped you with your drawing.
I love this tutorial. I'm right at the beginning of drawing. Not ever done it before (apart from as a kid). And how lovely to hear commentary from a fellow stokie. 😘
Thank you Nicola. Just have fun with your art and glad that my 'Stokie' accent was an encouragement too :)
I'mm looking forward to improve my drawing skills, and this video helped me a lot! You're a great teacher and an amazing artist. Cheers.

Been nuts here so not done a new lesson for a while. New one today though. Captain Jack Sparrow 🏴☠️✍️👍
just wanted to say thanks man. I watch lots of tutorials and I tend to get lost in the technique they are trying to teach. This was the one that enabled me to relax and just get into the sketch. I wound up going down a rabbit hole of sketching a kitchen timer. I like how it came out. AND I had fun doing it.
My pleasure and lovely to help you with your drawing and glad that your drawing of a kitchen timer went well. Have a lot of fun with your future art ✍️
great tip, drawing on newspapers to understand how shapes make up everything!
Thank you. Have fun with your drawing :)
I was so afraid of using tools to help me with my drawings but now I'll give it a try and hopefully I'll be good at it. thanks mate!
FlyingBacon115 Cheers. Have a great time drawing :)
I was drawing since I was a little boy but I stopped because of stupid reasons, I used to draw Characters out of comics like Captain America, Hulk, Thor, etc. but all those talent I had, was lost when I stopped. I'm starting to devote myself to drawing again to remove all the bad habits I got used to doing, and your tutorial surely helped me get back. Thanks man.
Thank you Paul for your kind comments about my drawing tutorial. Enjoy your art into the future and have fun with your drawing. I have lots of cartoon characters on my 'How to Draw' playlist showing all these techniques too.
I watched this while getting ready to go start up my drawing classes again & all my intusiasum came back to me that I can now share with my students! Thank you so very much!
My pleasure. Glad too have helped you with your enthusiasm. We all need encouraging to keep on drawing ✍️👍
Have fun with your students 😊
holy moly billy, this is one of the best intro to drawing videos on CZcams. not just the technical stuff you spoke about but the advice is exactly what beginners like myself need to hear imo. Thank you sir. You just got one more subscriber :)
Thank you Joe - glad to have helped you with your art and drawing. Have fun and thanks for the sub.
When I was young i loved drawing and drew much better than now but later I give up because of my friends, but now I want to start again.
Enjoy your art and drawing in the future and simply have fun ✍️👍😊
Absolutely loved this video, saved it for future reference. You have inspired me to make my mark on every peice of paper in sight, drawing bottles, remotes, fans, curtains even my neighbors house, tables, chairs, trees. I can't thank you enough for the past year i hd been looking at things and wondering where to start, this video cleared a lot of that up for me. On to the 2nd part now, thank you again, the years of practice show in the fluidity of your work, a skill i hope someday to attain.
Thanks Cody - enjoy your doodling - I still do nearly 4 decades into it.
And I have used a neighbour's house too in a painting for a USA client once - your comment reminded me and made me smile :)
you have taught me the reason of my two courses, and the ways to do it better than the two whole semester i took with those courses and courses related to them, thank you very much
you motivated me to start with drawing as well!
This was the best intro vid! I just bought a 2b and 4b pencil and a sketch book- no more scrap paper! So can stick all my randoms in there!! Thanks for the encouragement :)
+RedStingBlogs My pleasure. Glad to have helped and encouraged you with your art :)
Just bought a sketch book just for this....learning how to draw....I think this video will really help :) thanks for the vid
My pleasure and thank you for your kind comments. Enjoy your drawing :D
No lollygags, no fancy stuff, straight to the point, this is all I can ask for. Thanks
you're an absolute angel. I love drawing and I have been drawing for years now but my art teacher (best art teacher I've ever had) had gotten me so used to using the grid method (which is very time-consuming) that when it got time for me to start using freehand I just couldn't it just didn't feel right at all I would always be too tense and just put it aside to never work on it again. listening to this video and following through with all the tips and understanding shapes more really helped me and I just really want to thank you. this truly helped me a lot and it was such a good stress relief as well. sorry that this is so long I just had to get this out. (I just got out of high school so I still have a long journey ahead of me with art)
Hi Mario,
Thank you for your lovely comment and glad to help you with your free drawing. Enjoy the years ahead. I have been drawing for 40+ years and I am still practicing and learning. I do teach folks the grid method for really complex subjects but for quick sketching (I have drawn musicians while they are playing live) this is a great way to get your basic drawing down.
Have a lot of fun.
Regards,
Billy
Thanks a lot, you helped me understand the big picture. I was trapped in small details, was afraid to draw simple shapes and never let go my eraser. Now I'm able to enjoy what I draw, because I'm drawing for myself and nobody's gonna judge me for it. Thank you again, you just earned a new subscriber.
***** Thanks very much. Glad to have helped you a little with your drawing. Enjoy your art and thanks too for the Sub :D
This definitely took away a lot of frustration off my shoulders. It is a superb tutorial on approaching drawing in a fun way. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for your kind comments about my art video tutorial. Really glad it has helped. you. Enjoy your drawings and my future how to draw and art time-lapse films.
you are most welcome Mr. Billy and yes I'm very much looking forward to your next videos!
yes drawing in a fun way!! I loved art classes in grade school but dropped it because I hated having to conform-I wanted to draw what I wanted and have tons of these boxes and circles in my school notes...I am going to give it another try now!
Im leaving this comment as marker on the day I was inspired to start drawing (seriously) and as a reminder as to who helped me when I was still learning the fundamentals of drawing. I hope this endeavor of mine keep burning for many years to come. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Glad to have helped and encouraged you on your drawing journey. I am still doodling and learning after over 40 years. Have a lot of fun.
I have no motivation to start learning how to draw until i seen your artworks!
It’s so cool to reach that kind of sketching skills!!
Thanks for inspiration
My pleasure to encourage you James. Glad to help you with your drawing and have a lot of fun in the future 👍✍️😊
Wow , thanks for showing us that everything is really just a combination of simple shapes!!

My pleasure Angie. Glad to have helped you with your drawing a little. Have fun with your art.

it teaches us that everything is drawn in boxes
BOXES ARE IMPORTANT

Finally, a good tutorial which explains a lot of stuff! :D I am still a kid after all, and this is not even my main language, but I love to make art, lately I was focusing more on anatomy and I am behind with backgrounds, so the explanation about how you can use shapes to make such beautiful art really helped! Thank you a lot :)
Enjoy and glad to help
Sir, thank you so much!
I've been watching some video tutorials and the examples were all so hard to pull off, until I stumbled upon this video and realized that if I just break an object into different shapes and then connect them, I will essentially create the object. Such a strong realization. Thank you.
Thank you Michael - Glad to have helped you with your art - enjoy your drawing and creativity ✏️👍
Hey hey dude (Ik you probably won't read this but) I fucking love this video~
I (ofc) stumbled upon this completely by accident, I was searching for videos on how to play any song on piano by ear and ended up misclicking on this in the recommended tab, but I stayed because I love drawing and I thought a tutorial on drawing random stuff would be fantastic and this one totally hit the nail on that~!
Thank you so much for your kind words about my drawing tutorial. Glad to have helped you with your drawing and enjoyment of art a little. Have fun with your art and music :)
Thats true

Thanks very much. Glad you like the art and have fun with your drawing.
Yes I am a 'Stokie' and grew up in Stoke on Trent. I also went to North Staffs Poly (Just as it became a Uni).
Enjoy the lessons and working on a new one (live tomorrow) right now.
@@theartofbilly Ah I was at Leek Road Brindley Building - Geography! I was nevera "student" preferred the back street pubs like the Old Swan up Honeywall, all the "oldies" places!
This video is so helpful and practical. I'm trying to get back into drawing by hand after only making digital art for work. This reminds me of the old drawing shows I used watch as a kid. Thank you!!!
Thank you and glad to have encouraged you to have a go at drawing. Just enjoy iy and have a lot of fun.
Determined to get started by collecting my tools together so I am ready for action
Pick up your pencil, smile and have fun making marks and artwork 😊✍️
It's like minecraft with your hands!

Who would dislike this
Thanks very much :)
Why someone will dislike this but its a video tho.
persons who hate everything disliked.
this man is too innocent,i loved him so much.
+Azzoz Kaaki Thank you :)
no problem x) ,i see that you are too professinal, but i want to become a professinal too, but the different is that i,am more into Fantasy Creatures,Middle age knights and dragons and mythology,and enviorment design, does practicing basic shapes and doodling will help my drawing skill and dimensions to imrpove ? what do you advice. theartofbilly
+Azzoz Kaaki Yes learning to draw shapes and normal everyday objects will then help you to create any fantasy creature that you want to produce later. All the top fantasy artists use human or animal models to build up their fantasy subjects. So using a Rhinoceros for example to become an armoured battle animal that an Ogre would ride is a good thing for fantasy art. So drawing animals at a Zoo will help you to develop.
Also learning to draw humans you can then 'add' or increase muscles and limbs to become whatever kind of creature you desire.
Have fun with your art and all the best for your future career :)

Hey, you're a left too! First one I've seen...maybe I can draw afterall...Thanks for the well done tutorial.
My pleasure to encourage you and do enjoy your left handed drawing.
MY father was left handed and he was an excellent artist. He worked construction and never used his art skills for nothing more than fun. He did great drawings though.
That is lovely that you have such a great memory of your dad being creative.
@@theartofbilly it is a great video, although, because I am right handed, I felt very uncomfortable seeing it done with left hand, it is something with my brain, it is called "Cognitive fluency", marketers keep taking care of it in creating advertises and stuff.
Maybe watching left handed people doing things with left hands will make it easier for me,
I love this guy when he says just draw anything and the words he mentioned how he motivate people.
Your drawings are fantastic!! I am very inspired that you are left-handed!!! Just like me, but I find it difficult to follow Caligraphy and other tutorials when the person is right-handed, so this is fabulous to find a left-handed artist !!! YAHHHHHHH!!
Glad to help and encourage you with your drawing Kenn ✍️👍
Thank you, lad. This made drawing less intimidating. n.n
+Kevin Murphy My pleasure Kevin. Enjoy your drawing and have lots of fun :)

This comment is a little late, but I'd like to thank you. I'm not the best at art, but I've been looking to improve. I've watched a lot of videos on drawing, but this one just really got to me. I've learned a bunch from this video. Thank you sir.
My pleasure KCEH. Glad to have helped you on your artistic journey a little. Have fun with your future drawing.
I never thought of breaking things down to make my life easier. Interesting technique.
+Borderlands Pyro Thanks for checking out my video. Enjoy your art & drawing :)
hey how do you draw the scenes like factory one, first take photograph, or through visual memory?
I do a mixture of drawings on the spot and take photographs. Even very basic notes in a sketchbook if something specific needs to be remembered which you may miss in a photograph.
I will definitely try these techniques, but I'll still suck anyways :P
Thank you Zeilix - Just enjoy your drawing though ✏️👍
when in doubt, old yt vids got your back
To all of you who like to draw but can't, start drawing, try do draw everything that comes to mind. Don't care about how it looks. Do it consistently, day in and out. One day you can draw anything that comes to mind.
Great advice - have fun with your art and drawing.
God that was inspiring.
mathias kiær Thanks - pleasure to help :)
mathias kiær Thanks for the video ,well guys I've to recommend this product for you: b i t . l y / 1 L e s p c 4 ..that helped me a lot to scale my skills :)
Thanks Mathias. Glad to inspire and help you with your art. Enjoy your drawing.
mathias kiær It didn’t bother me till you mentioned it, are you an auditory learner?
I wanna draw hentai and practice my art until I become a well-known hentai artist!
I WILL MAKE THIS DREAM A REALITY, NO ONE WILL STOP ME!!
Have fun on your artistic journey.
same here
so, how are you doing?
This makes me motivated and interested about art again kuz I almost give up since others say I suck at drawing and because when I try to draw I would just make the same mistakes all over again. Now I know why because I was too excited about doing art that I don’t even mind starting with the basics. This taught me a lot :)) Thanks!
Glad to have helped and inspired you a little with your art and drawing. Have a lot of fun drawing 👍✍️😊
Thank you for this amazing video. Until now I never quite understood the concept behind using shapes to begin a structure of a sketch. Because of you I have taken my artistic skills to a higher level! Thanks!!!!
+Linda Walker Thanks for your kind comments and it is a pleasure to have helped you with your art :)
