  • In today's video, I'm sharing my freehand preliminary sketching process, as well as a ton of helpful tips for beginners that'll help you arrive at outline sketches that show effective proportion, perspective, shape and overall better use of your drawing space.
    This is the process I go through whenever I'm creating a preliminary outline sketch prior to getting started with more realistic shading via layers of graphite, a new watercolor painting process or moving forward to alternative shading techniques.
    Hope you find this one helpful and inspiring! :)
