Описание: Welcome back to Episode 3 of my How to Draw series! This tutorial continues our focus on observation skills and how to start breaking down complex scenes into simple, manageable shapes and textures. Whether you're drawing from nature or a photograph, this episode will guide you step-by-step on how to squint your eyes, simplify what you see, and capture the essence of your subject through confident line work.

In this video, I demonstrate how to draw a detailed outdoor scene featuring a textured fence, tree trunks, grass, and a rustic barn. You'll see how to apply a continuous line drawing method to create natural, flowing textures that bring your sketches to life. We also explore how to handle foreground and background layers to enhance depth and focus within your drawing.

Throughout the tutorial, I emphasize the importance of balance between detail and simplicity, showing you how to suggest texture and form without getting bogged down in perfection. This approach helps beginners overcome fear of mistakes and encourages you to enjoy the drawing process with confidence and creativity.
