How to Start a Drawing - Blocking In Any Subject. In this drawing tutorial video, I demonstrate the actual process and thoughts I used to start a drawing of my cat and blocking in any subject. I started out with a straight-line block-in and used comparative measuring to find relationships and proportions around her face to block in the details within her face

Cows and chickens are good too. But finding pretty goats is difficult. Goats can be like dogs, very individual personality, but totally unique. They are a group animal up to a total degree. Very smart. They can put thinking to communication. I have dogs and cats too. I am a farmer with a desire to paint my farm. Self teaching here and Utube has a lot to offer. You are good. I will learn a lot from you and thank you so much. I snuggle with a baby goat in a bale of hay and get my happiness. I want to paint this. No children just animals here.

Great tips! I recently listened to a podcast of an older artist who described how difficult it was for him as an artist to make a living at art. He then landed a graphic artist job to pay the bills. He said if an artist can paint portraits of people and animals, then they will be able to do commission work anytime. He said a commission would pay him immediately as opposed to relying on a gallery, where a painting might sit for months. Just thought I would share that bit of info with all of the up and coming artists out there.

Thanks for your video. It is very helpfull, because I have always troubles with proportion, although my line confidence is good. And thanks for mention that it can take longer (1h or so. After 30 Minutes I thought: - I am not able to do it, although I like -trigonometry-
I try this on my iPad with a wooden stick (procreate. But always one or two fingers hits the surface and lets zooms or rotate the canvas, although I switch of all gesture settings.
Are there any tips on how to do this on a tablet?

I am wanting to learn how to draw goats and their babies. Just wondered if you were able to do so. I have been looking for a tutorial. Watching how you did this cat was a great help. Thank you. I raise goats and cows. Watching you and learning from you is my downtime or a mini vacation. Your way of painting is of great help to me. I love my goats and want to paint them. The Utube is my go to place to learn.

I love this guy's videos but for some reason don't understand the importance of finding elsewhere on the face that -has to- line up with the width of the face?
EDIT: Ok, is he doin this so he can accurately draw the cat at different sizes? Sorry for the noob Q's

Great explanation of the blocking in process. I use it sometimes, but I'm always interested to hear the nuts and bolts of how other artists do this. How do you like to take your measurements? The old thumbnail on the pencil trick? Dividers?

Being one of your drawing students I try to watch all of your videos on drawing. I felt so lucky today when I found this video on measuring. I can't thank you enough for making this video and looking forward to covering this in class.

AMAZING! I just found a video that you did in 2013 and you really make the listener wanting to listen to you. I think you are a great youtuber and very underrated. Hope you grow even bigger than you are now! 1+Sub

I hate using reference photos but that's inevitable sometimes and using this method is quite effective to enlarge or shrink a drawing. Times 2 or 3 depending what you want to do for size throughout the process.

1. Measure His Head Proportions
2. Figure out the shape of his head
3. Create Guidelines ( Simplified Shapes that Help you draw something from scratch)
4. Focus On the Details
5. Start Drawing!
