my todays's video is inspired my students whom i am teaching mehendi now a days
and all of you new beginners who sent me messages and questions for suggestions
let me tell you, why all of you are my inspiration
whenever new artist asks me how to and what to practice in henna
i always tell them to practice lines
the moment i tell thm and show them how to draw lines
they only practice one type of line and that is this one straight horizontal line
constantly they keep practicing only this line
when i demand to practice something else then they draw one more line
let me focus my camera first because already it has messed up my recording
and that is vertical line
maximum they practice either horizontal line or vertical line
but its the truth that in mehendi we don't draw only these two lines
we have to draw many more lines too
the second major problem that many beginner face and many time seasoned artist like us face
and could be reason behind messy work
it happens before we touch surface we start pressing cones
the moment pressure start cone start releasing mehendi and we gets dots
mehendi start coming out and then we touch surface
and suddenly we stop giving pressure or decrease pressure
whatever the reason, before there was pressure and suddenly pressure is less or not at all
and we start drawing elements
because of that out line breaks
so whenever we start drawing our lines break
begining of line is not perfect due to this reason
if you have not notice it yet then notice this as it happens to many artists
then what we do?
the moment line breaks we go back to correct it
i always keep telling my student that
you all will think what nonsense i am talking?
don't go back but come back
isn't it same thing? no its not
what do we usually do the moment line breaks
we immediately go back and try to create line by dragging it
the line created that way is not perfect line its stroked line imperfect line
thats why when ever you are drawing any line
and if that line breaks then continue with your line
after that come back and correct the line joining two ends two points
try to draw line with draping lines unlike drawing lines and creating mess
you can see that that line is perfect while other seems imperfect
this is golden rule for my all students
that whenever you are drawing big elements complete line then correct broken line
because i have seen we try to draw lines the way we draw with pencils
complete shape then connect lines. i will keep repeating myself
don't ever make strokes line whenever you are drawing big elements in mehendi
with strokes line you work won't look neat and clean
whenever you touch surface and begin to draw lines then start giving pressure
that will reduce the amount of dots you get in your work
i hope my this point is clear to all of you
because this is very important point in learning mehendi
and i have been witnessing that my students are facing this problem
scratching line is so much in habit that even though correcting them constant is not helping
so if you are new and beginner then if you begining is in right direction then its easy for all of you
once you develop wrong habit then it takes lots of time and efforts to correct it
please keep this point in mind always
one more thing grab my attention from my experiences
in one of my video i have explained in length that in mehendi speed and pressure are two main factors
but my teaching experience is telling me that the third important factor is
besides speed and pressure and that is movement
whenever our movement is straight our speed and pressure remain maintained
right now movement is straight
because it does not have any drastic change and thats why speed and pressures under control
the moment i have movements while drawing
my sped and pressure start going haywire
movement means when i am drawing circle
when it is going towards down direction all is well but the moment i change movement
in opposite direction my line start shaking
the movement comes when we draw curve lines
whenever we have movements we have to change speed and pressure
but mostly beginners fail to do so
and thats why they have major problem whenever they draw swirls
the moment you draw swirl all three factors had to play their role in harmony
and if it does not happen then you don't get perfect swirls
and thats why this third factor movement is also very important
so when i saw my students only practice these two lines
the moment they start movement then they start facing problem
and they are trying to create lines with strokes line then
i realised i always keep telling everyone that learn alphabet of mehendi designs
then i realised why don't we learn English alphabets first with mehendi
to over come our these problems
so i suggest that all beginners or those who are facing all these problem
should practice english alphabet first
but how? i will show you one technique
and le me tell you that this is my one of the experiment
all of you try and let me know how much all of you have improved
so i can understand that my experiment is working in right direction or not
if you share your experience then it could be helpful to others too
so how we have to practice these alphabets let me show
first of all excuse my cone because its old and thats why i am getting broken lines
just focus on the matter i am tying to share with all of you
ok so i was telling that we should draw A with one stroke
where first line will go up then down and then center line will join two side lines
and this we will achieve with draping lines
we have-not have to drag lines but we have to drape lines
and second golden rule of today is " don't go back but come back "
do come back to watch our videos....hahahaha
then come E and then F
concentrate the moment i have changed movements i keep my cone down and then start again
then you won't face the begging dot problem
try to keep your beginning pressure as low as possible
i have told this before that i am also trying to correct my that problem
because i also face beginning dots problem
and thats why i always keep telling that if from the begining if your habit is right then your life is easy
we will draw all alphabets in same manner
you can see the way i draw M
i know i am asking you to practice alphabet
but when you practice it then you realise what am i trying to teach you
if you speed, pressure and movements are in proportion then
only you will get perfectly drawn alphabets
first you draw alphabet n medium size and once you are perfect with it then try small and big size alphabets
you can see so many different movement these alphabets have
there are many line variation you can practice with these
thats why with alphabets you can practice all types of lines apart from horizontal and vertical lines
once you get perfected with straight line alphabets then we will move on to curve alphabets
and those are O that will be our circle too
i know my O is not perfect
oh sorry i forgot C
you can practice either Deep curved C or shallow curved C
whenever you practice these curved alphabet then try to practice them in opposite direction too
then its Q that is similar to O but try to draw curvy line inside instead of straight line
then here comes S that is little challenging with its opposite direction movements
because i have seen this with my students that when movements in right direction its not
a problem but moment movement changed line start breaking
we will draw S in both directions
those who have seen my paisley video they knows i used C and S to create paisleys
once we perfect these curvy alphabets then we will practice alphabets that have both curve and lines
whenever you start working on something your phone start ringing
so B for Beena...hahahah thats my name by chance anyone of you don't know
please do practice them in all direction
i have little confusion with G because we learn this way but in typing it comes in different way
but in any case you practice the way i showed you because i want that circle in centre
U is very important alphabet because it can becomes frill elements and or petal elements
actually all alphabets are very important
if you see carefully all shapes are made up from these alphabets
actually i wish you don't only practice alphabets but you should practice numbers too
why should be leave ten
so practice them too
when i am sharing this technique with all of you
few people might think that i have lost my marbles and gone insane hahahahhah
let me tell you that i am little crazy but still not that much
neither i am crazy nor i am passion your time
when u all will practice this then you all will understand how helpful this method is
thats why i told you that this is still at experiment level
so if you all will share your experience we could conclude something from this
do try this..let me show you one simple example how these alphabets create shapes
this is our shallow C
then this is little tilted L or base of 4
and this is our number 3 but in opposite direction
i think i have to zoom my video so you all have better view
when our shallow C, tilted L and opposite 3 is perfect then we should have tick mark
we create face cut using all alphabets
i think my drawing teacher taught me something similar in my drawing class when i was small kid
we write 8 something like this in our gujarati
this is very simple example of how we can create shapes from alphabet
they bring confidence in our lines
they teach us shapes and movements then why don't we start our henna journey with them
try this i know its very out of the Box idea but may be it end up improving your art
today i talked about lines, the broken lines and new factor movement
and shared that alphabet can teach us speed ,pressure and movements
and with this i take your leave now
we will meet soon
first time i am doing live recording with voice and i had to take many breaks
due to calls and door bell rings
so if you felt my link was broken while recording then these were the reasons behind it
please do let me now how do you like my this approach
what are your thoughts about this technique
if you practice this method then share your experience with it
one more important thing i want to share with all of you that my website is ready
i am planing many different things with my website
what are they ? i will sure share with all of you
but for time being please do visit my sight and let us know how do you find it
