Episode 1 – How I Became an Artist
In this episode I introduce this podcast, as well as how and why I became an artists. I think my story is a little unusual, and you’ll probably enjoy it (;
Show Notes
Alfred Sisley – I highly recommend checking out his work. Here’s one example of a FANTASTIC painting by him, representative of his style.
He was truly a master of light, colors and atmosphere.
Hey friends!
In this drawing lesson I’ll show you how to draw a clenched fist!
The key takeaway here is to try to simplify the shape of the hand, and use simple guidelines that will eventually turn into more complex shapes.
Check out the drawing lesson here: How to Draw a Clenched Fist!
Pay attention to the thumb, and how it obstructs some of the fingers.
Also, the main challenge in drawing the hand here, was getting the correct shape of the inner parts of the fingers.
Notice how they are bent downwards, and into the center of the palm.
I hope this was helpful!

Hey friends!
Today we have another fun anatomical drawing lesson.
In this drawing lesson, we’re going to learn how to draw an open hand!
Drawing the human hand is an awesome challenge, that calls upon your ability to actually KNOW some anatomy, and UNDERSTAND how the human body works.
Check out the video, and I’ll share some of the key points afterwards.
I hope you enjoyed the video.
If you need some reference for drawing hands, check out these two images on drawing hands in different poses, and holding objects.
1. Pay special attention to the fanning of the fingers.
Remember, the fingers aren’t straight, parallel lines that stick out of the hand.
The are fanning out of it. I show this really well in the video.
A good method of getting this right, is by drawing those circular guidelines. Draw one for each knuckle in the hand.
2. The overall shape of the hand.
Notice how the wrist is thin, and expands as soon as it “turns” into the hand itself.
Use curved lines to represent the sides of the hand, which have more fat in them.
3. Careful with the thumb.
The thumb can be quite a challenge, so be sure to get its direction properly.
Also remember that the base of the thumb, which is the part that’s connecting it to the hand, is also quite fat.
4. Knuckles!
It’s important to hint the presence of the knuckles. This is especially true when talking about the knuckles at the very base of each finger.
A good way to indicate the knuckles is using shading. I find this works better than just drawing them boldly.
And there you have it! A relaxed open hand.
I hope this drawing lesson helped you.

Hey there!
Today I want to do something special.
In this video I show you how to draw a battle scene between Shay Patrick Cormac and Adewale – two characters from the Assassin’s Creed Rogue video game.
This is less of a drawing lesson, and more of a speed-drawing demonstration of my complete drawing process.
You’ll see everything from drawing, to painting (watercolors AND colored pencils) and inking.
So without further ado, here it is!
1. I like to paint before I ink.
This is something I talked about before.
This type of process allows the colors to really shine, and then also allows you to be minimal with your pen and ink.
2. I mix watercolors with colored pencils.
I like the look I achieve by applying watercolors and then completing the look using colored pencils.
This is a common practice, and is my favorite way to go. The watercolors easily cover large surfaces and give the base tone. Then, the colored pencils add the texture and more accurate shading.
However, you are invited to try a different way, and let me know if it works better for you (=
Anyway, this is it. Let me know if you have any questions!
And if you want to become a king at drawing, inking, painting, sketching and whatnot, be sure to subscribe here. You’ll also receive my book as a gift! (=
I’ll talk to you soon,
