These demos here in this page are improvisations, and in my case, they were not intend to produce master pieces. They have a certain degree of casualty, accidentally, and looseness which I would like you to adopt. Also I don't know if you will notice that fact that in all these videos, regardless the tool I hold in my hand, my hand doesn't rest on the paper. I want you to do the same. You'll never be able to to what I am doing in these demos, or even speed up the way you draw if you insist in dragging your hand on your drawing surface.

All of them take place in less of 8 minutes. That wasn't meant just to keep you from getting bored, but to encourage you to move along faster.

I want you to loosen up and stop being concerned about every line you draw. Stop analyzing them as you were Sigmund Freud. Stop being judgmental about every line you draw.

The second reasons is that scribbling is more about shading than about drawing lines, or if you will, it is more about lines that must and will ad up to shading.

Using the brush is not only about painting. Many famous artists have used the brush to shade their drawing.

I could give you a long list of names, but do I really have to? One will do: Rembrandt.

In some cultures people even write with the brush.

In our culture we have been taught to write with pens and pencils early in or lives. The influence that those pointy tools had, and still have, in the creation of graphics in the western world is profound. Many people think the drawing is about pencils and pencils only. That kind of thinking is  unfortunate, not just will make my teaching more difficult, but also make even more difficult for you to learn something new.

 Great things can be done with the brush, above all is shading, the others involve issues such as the quality of lines, speed, and surface transparency.

Rembrandt used the brush to shade, as well as a variety of quill pens to draw heavy lines intended to give impact to his drawings. In your situation all those lines can be done with a brush.

There are no doubts that drawing with the brush is more difficult, but that is true only initially. After the initial "painful" period, you may find out that there's nothing like the brush to speed up your drawing process, to ad personality, and variety to your lines, and above all to instill confidence in your production.

I'll let you draw your own conclusions, but I hope that after looking at these videos, you'll change your mind.

I'm not here to antagonize pencil lovers, I like pencils, I have a huge collection of them and I even used them in my paintings to draw lines too fine be drawn with the brush.

Regarding corrections to your drawing, that can be done with white acrylic.
