Just Recently, I have also made a tutorial on "how to paint a tree" but I've never thought of "How to sketch a tree." This video is well presented and very helpful. Thank you 💜🌻🌻🌻

How do you not have 1 MILLION SUBS?!?!?!? This is so detailed! Tanks!

Brilliant tutorial. Thanks you for sharing your tips on basic shapes at the start and so helpful to see you draw the more complex and unique tree. I can apply this even to my watercolor with thumbnail sketches to get your lights, mid tones and darks right, as if you start with a faulty drawing, no amount of watercolor can fix that. 👍🏼❤️

Phil - another great and enjoyable tutorial. Clear, informative and very easy to follow. My wife and I both watch and are learning from you. Many, many thanks.

I have never watched an instructional video that focused on these principles of drawing. Many times I have wondered HOW something was done or WHY. Built it from lines, blocked in the negative shapes, blocked in the shadows, then, and only then, focused on details. Why have I never seen this in a drawing tutorial? So simple. So enlightening. Thank you! I'm pulling out my sketchbook again.

These videos are clear, fun to watch, and are superb instruction. Thank you for sharing these do-able techniques. I'm encouraged to take a little sketch book on a trip I have coming up. Sketching is not only fun, but truly encourages us to look more carefully at what's around us. Many thanks!

May I request a tutorial on natural rocks/stones just in general. I would love to be able to put natural looking rocks in my drawings! Thanks ;)
