hi Karran, question: in the picture around the 55th min, what was the decision process that make you add the patch of black at the left side? I have been learning so much from your videos, and it has kicked me into action. thanks so much
Great question! I really wanted that side of the sketch to pop. There was already so much greys (in the windows and as shadows) that I felt that store front was getting lost. In the photo it pops so much, so I wanted to replicate that in the sketch. But I didn't do the whole side, because it would be too commanding, and through the sketch off balance. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching
Agree with you 100%
💯
Happy to find your tutorial! Your thumbnail idea is fantastic.
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you found the video helpful!!
This is super useful, esp about the use of acrylic (white) for highlights. big thanks.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful
this video made want to buy a ticket somewhere beautiful and sketch! i've only tried sketching on trips a couple of times, only on a samsung tablet, it's quite heavy. love your minimal kit for the trip :) it's gonna be an amazing sketchbook when it's filled!
Love it! I feel the same way. Years from now this book will be so nice to look back on
amazing tips!!! i really really liked the section about composition because i find it very hard. the "find your borders" advice is simple, genius, and i've never heard it phrased this way before :) also thank you for illustrations of your points, it really helps!!
Thank you for watching and the feedback! I plan on doing a bunch more videos on composition because it's so critical but overwhelming
Firstly - your making an original drawing from real life - fantastic. Your showing us viewers _how_ .... The framing / composition And your sharing how to illustrate quickly and accurately Brilliant information. Great video. *Thank you* very much for all the wonderful suggestions on drawing and making *ORIGINAL genuine artwork* P.s- noticed the doggy happy during the cricket match awww :)
Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm hoping to do more of these to illustrate how artist's can work almost effortlessly because they build up the skill set. [Its going to be doggy's channel soon:)]
This comment feels like an AI bot.
Not enough emojis for it to be an AI response :D
@@claudioddavi thank you for the kind words (you reckon I am sorta machine) ... But I am 100% human. This CZcams artist has *helped* a huge amount by giving wonderful suggestions . My own artwork has improved because of the _thumbnail_ approach & then making a detailed *original illustration* . warmly. *Mr* p Decker
Great tutorial , how one can money with urban sketching . Please make video on that
I'll add it to my list :)
Happy spring 2024. *Great information* on drawing and sketching _outside_ The _doodle doggy_ is *Fab* & Well done on sketching outside winery storage area. Excellent penmanship. *Gotta Keep practicing* Keep sharing and making wonderful artwork Everyone. :)
Thank you, Happy Spring! My ultimate goal is to give Goose more screen time than me :)
The gatekeeping of urban sketching groups has been enough of a turnoff for me to decline joining. I'm sure sketching on location is great for some people, but if I've been to a place dozens of times and don't feel like spending time in traffic getting there, I'm perfectly happy creating my urban sketch at home from a photo I've taken of said place before.
If feel you! Some of the groups can be intimidating. But I have found a couple that are very welcoming to beginners. Look for your local chapter of Usk (Urban sketchers) - They usually do monthly meet ups and are very newbie friendly. But again, there's nothing wrong with sketching in the comfort of your own space :)
@@futurecondos I already tried joining a local chapter and I wasn't intimidated, I was disappointed. There was an unofficial group called urban sketching that they would openly complain about and one person implied all the posts within that group were spam as a result. They and other official urban sketchers would comment on artwork just to point out that the group was unofficial and whether or not said artwork counted as urban sketching. I just gave me a bad vibe. :/
Oh ! Que j' ai aimé votre vidéo .J' ai 77 ans et je découvre que j' aimerais essayer une scène urbaine. Merci pour de partager votre technique avec nous . BYE, du Québec.♥♥🎨
Bonjour et merci d'avoir regardé la vidéo !
you’re calling me out too hard pls stop I’m begging 😭😭😭
😂😂 I feel your pain
Great video. fantastic coffee/ latte making (even the leaf is Fab) The doodle doggy is excellent. & Yes - make original artwork and just.. *doooh ate* (do it) as _Tony Burton says to Rocky Balboa_ Whilst taking on a formidable Russian opponent. ... Do it! Keep sharing .
Thank you! I wanted to try something that wasn't the typical talking head video :)
Thank you for this realistic advice for beginners. I have ADHD, which means I have to expend a lot more mental energy to filter out the sensory chaos that comes along with sketching in a busy cafe or on a bustling street. I've tried this as a beginner sketch artist and things tend to go pretty poorly because all my mental energy is going to neutralize the sensory chaos rather than figure out my process. Getting my process down at home with photos means I'll be able to step into an energetic scene and sketch almost from muscle memory. Thanks for reaffirming that this is OK.
I'm glad you found some value in the video. I absolutely understand how overwhelming busy areas can be for someone with ADHD. I have a follow up video that talks about low stakes way to ease yourself into public sketching (and avoiding the sensory chaos): czcams.com/video/IWNfH4DEOR0/video.html Hope that one helps!
I'll take a look, thanks!
Love these tips!! The library feels like an excellent idea! We should start a challenge to show a drawing this weekend. 😄 Idea for a future video: how to quickly make marks of a scene to finish later. We can take a photo and start a sketch on location - would that be good?
Yes, a library is such a great spot to sketch! Good idea for the video. I want to start doing more on location, so I'll definitely think about this one!
Thanks for these! I’m a little more confident in my sketches but still terrified about drawing in public. Planning a trip to a museum now…😂
I love sketching at museums! Have fun!
💯💯 thanks for these great tips!
Thanks for watching
fantastic video :)
Thanks! I'm glad you found some value in the video :)
Recoving perfectionist here 🤣 .... Constant mental Challenge to start the next task ..worrying if im doing it correctly or if theres another way to do it better ... Haven't mastered it but after thinking on it for some time the answer always seem to be "just start" the mental image in your head is normally totally off and needs a physical/visual assessment to come full circle anyway .. soooo JUST START .. ! ..
Yes, just start is the best advice when it comes to this! Before starting this channel, i went through exactly what I wanted it to be. I wrote a plan, built graphics and set a direction. 5 videos in, it all changed Just like your canvas gives your mental image a reality check, the people who started to watch and leave comments gave me mine. You have to be willing to fail early to really so you can learn all the things NOT to do. And the only way to do that is to JUST START and adapt on the fly. Perfectionism gets in the way of that
Great suggestions. Thank you very much. Keep sharing And helping.
Thank you for your support :)
What are some habits you find hard to break?
I agree with you 100%. When I have the time and weather I do sketch onsite. But I do like to sketch and watercolor at my leisure at home where I am most comfortable. I take lots of photos and the decide what to draw later.
Such great insight! Being in uncomfortable situations is the reason most people don't take action. So why not choose a space where you can take your time and make brilliant art :)
Great video!! Quick question - do you have any tips for overcoming the fear of sketching in public LOL I always get so nervous!
Great question! It'll take a while to build up confidence. My go to moves are: - bing minimal supplies (nerves and having to unpack/pack supplies don't mix) - this one is counter intuitive, but go somewhere busy (the more people around the less chances of them noticing you) - wear headphones and listen to good music or a podcast (this will keep you present and you won't be worrying about who's doing what) Hope those help!
What are your tips for sketching in public?
Sketching on location is scarrrrryyy!
Love to learn from you
Thank you! I hope you picked up some good tips
Great suggestions. Many thanks. Excellent artwork and information on sketching
I'm glad you found it helpful!
