I think the trick is that they are using the Bob Ross method. They don't make mistakes, they make happy accidents. There's this program for rapid sketching cal

  I disagree that there's a trick to it. Laying down a line with precision and exactly in the way that you planned is a skill. When you watch an architect or draftsman draw a line, they've drawn that same line thousands of times before.

    Being a good draftsman is like being a good painter; it's all in the prep. There's a lot of work that goes into getting things setup and guides in place before the first real line hits the paper. If you watch someone that's really good with a CAD program you'll see they do more work with things that don't end up on the final drawing than they do on the actually drawing.

  > They don't make mistakes, they make happy accidents. heh. partially that. but there's also: - tricks how to cover up an accident - recognizing an accident early so it's less to cover up - and finally of course, can't deny skill and control The last one is why I never liked doing pencil sketches and then inking my cartoons. I always used a marker or ballpoint pen right away purposefully because I wanted to learn the skill and control to get the lines right, the first time. While I probably did learn skill and control that way, I also very much learned about "happy accidents", cover-ups and recognizing an accident early or before it happens :) Mind you, this was me as a stubborn teen, drawing during boring school classes. Maybe learning techniques for adults are different.
