This is fantastic, Toby! A great summary of your artistic style and the great tips and tricks and advice you give in your courses. hey everyone! Sign up for Toby's courses - they are great!!!
Awesome, thank you!
Toby is a leader in the world of art in encouraging folks up to be themselves and enjoy the creative process outside the confines of what others think. His instructions are the basic skills that are helpful to all artists without making them weighty. I tell people just pick up a pencil and sketch/doodle away. The more one draws the more one might be curious about improving skills, etc. If not, so what. There is a healing and spiritual dimension to being creative no matter what your medium. Toby exudes that quality in his approach to art. He is a blessing.
Thank you Toby for mentioning that urban art indoors is still urban art! I have limited mobility and cannot walk very far. Sitting outdoors would also be difficult. However your approach to art has completely changed how I feel about creating art. I have the freedom to be myself and have fun! I am really enjoying your Sketch Loose courses. I am now on the 3rd course, which is excellent, as were the previous two. Thank you for this brilliant video.
You Sir, are an absolute legend for creating and sharing this publicly! Gatekeeping is not the answer. Thank you very much!
Thank you kindly!
Toby, well done. This is amazing. Thank you! +1 for the inclusive notes at the beginning. For those new to Toby's work, cannot recommend highly enough. His skillshare courses are definitely worth it. Enjoy!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ! Thank you SO much! Your 10 Days of Sketching Loose opened up a whole new world for me about a year ago & I've learned so much from your channel since then. This is the Best-Ever guide to overcoming fear of 'not being born an Artist' and learning basic techniques that can be used immediately and make anyone happy. Your joyful approach is the best of all. Thank you for your channel-- it's changed my life with art !
"Recreate the world in your vision". I love that! Really enjoyed this video!
Oh my, a bit like drinking from a firehose! So much wonderful information. Will have to re-view it in bits and pieces as I tackle each item you addressed. Thank you for this.
Glad it was helpful!
"Recreate the world in your vision"🤩
Such an encouraging video!
Thank you for all of these tips. This is worth looking at a couple more times. The more I sketch, the looser I get. I think it also makes a difference if you are in the zone or not. If I am in the zone, I find, I can "Just do it".
Yes very true!
Toby, a great overview and reminder. Even though i've taken your courses, this is a great reminder for when I feel like I've lost my way! You have a way of pulling one back to the enjoyment of sketching. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I have watched many of your videos. This is a really nice, one stop shop for intro to Urban Sketching. Well done!
Thank you so much 😀
Really enjoyed this recap into your techniques and philosophy having been following you for a while now. Love your positivity and your encouragement to do it and enjoy it. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. 🙂
My pleasure!
Toby this was an amazingly informative tutorial that I have looked for someone to break down for ages. I love drawing and painting shop fronts and houses but am very new to this type of drawing and painting. Your tutorial has given me the insight I needed to keep persevering. Thankyou x🥰🏴
Toby, this is Excellent! Amazing teaching, sketching, and explaining. I'm not quite finished, but this is THE BEST! Thanks
Thanks for the great lessons Toby! You are a gift to we the newbies. Great content and pace.
Thank you!
My Mum & I did a lot of urban sketching the last time we were in London (2002 - too long!) And it was wonderful! So many people stopped to chat with us. What a lovely way to meet and chat. Excellent tutorial!
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for all your info and the willingness to share 😉
Perspective is taught widely throughout the world .... in Geometry class. Not many pay attention in that class; too many protractors and rulers.😢 However, a good trick is to grab some isometric paper and use that for basic perspective practice. Or print a few pages of isometric paper off your 'puter.
Right on the money again, Toby.👍
Thank you for all your time, expertise and positivity making these fantastic videos for us beginners. This was so comprehensive. 😎😁
Thank you Toby. Reminding us of all the little basics and making it look so easy and enjoyable is definitely your forte
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, Toby! probably one of my favourites in a long time. Loved the format, but it is understandable that 40+ min videos don't come often! Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a great step-by-step and totally what I need right now!
This is a great video lesson. Thanks so very much!!
Thank you - I feel braver now
Toby, thank you for sharing your amazing talent. Not only are you an inspiration, you are also a fantastic teacher.
Wow, thank you!
More, please!
Toby, you are a wonderful, generous person❤ You have opened up new ways of thinking about and actually doing sketching. I thank you wholeheartedly for your openness and genuine support 🙏
Toby, you are a natural teacher!! Your patience and kindness spurs me on my artistic journey and you have opened up my eyes to this amazing art form. I encourage anyone to take your courses, you won't be disappointed!! Thank you for your time and hard work!
Wow, thank you!
Wow wow wow! Beautiful video, I really loved it!!!
I agree with everything you said and love your philosophy on watercolour and urban sketching!
And wow those gorgeous painting you showed us!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this video Toby!😃😃
Thank you so much!
Whoops nearly missed this video. What a loss that would have been.
Toby's is the only channel I tick 'like' before I see the content. Always excellent and uplifting
Thanks for that
What a wonderful video. TY so much. The way you explain and demo perspective is just brilliant!
Extremely useful video! Loved it!
This is a great video! So many one liners that refresh my understanding, a great teaser for all your lessons. I'm watching it this morning before I head out ironically to an urban sketching impromptu gathering which I organised.
I also prescribe to the "no rules in art". But it's about posting your work online that rule applies. Love your work Toby!
Just do Toby’s free course and be surprised of what you can do! :)
Toby, this was amazing!! And that’s coming from someone who has taken a lot of your courses. I loved the summary of your techniques and thoughts. It was very carefully done. Thanks!!
Such a GREAT video Toby!! Thank you for impressing the notion to create our version of a scene and to not try and replicate an image!!!! I have to remind myself of this constantly!!!
I appreciate ALL of your efforts that go into your videos!! It shows!!! 😊
Any time!
Yesss!! you are the reason i started sketch.. you encourage others and no need judgement or validation..
As always, I enjoyed your video. You make it look so easy not to mention a lot of fun. Your tips and tricks have been a big help to me, so thank you once again. 😎
All inclusive and encouraging as well.
Toby this is a mini masterclass! I'm abt 3/4 of the way through but want to comment before I forget it all! Great idea at 3:10 to use a cutting mat as a support (I have a smaller one too). I appreciated "the tangle of light and dark" re shading. And great idea to fill pages with doors 🚪 and windows for practice and also reference. Love your "scratchy" people too. I tried to buy you a coffee as a token of this new urban sketcher's appreciation for your great content😊. Hope it worked.
A joy to listen to and to watch👌
Thanks for the tutorial. You've given me the courage to actually start sketching.
You can do it!
That was phenomenal, Toby. You covered a lot in a really accessible way. Thanks!
Join my FREE course on www.sketchloose.co.uk/tendays for more in depth sketching techniques.
Thanks Toby for this very insightful video about urban sketching especially with all the tips to loosen up and make things look more interesting. Appreciate your sharing of your knowledge and I love your style! Hopefully I will start my own journey on urban sketching soon. Thanks again.
Thank you so much I really enjoy it and learned a lot, I have seen many of your videos and always make me get my pen out and give it a go. You have been an agent for my sketching journey I can thank you enough
Your videos are always a great way to start my day. Lots of good reminders here. Thank you!
Thank you, Toby, for this video!
Toby, I love your channel and you have inspired me to fill my sketchbooks, finally! I recently came across a picture of Belem Tower, Lisbon Portugal. it is beautiful and would love to see how you sketch it if you haven't already. Thank you for such a great channel and all of your hard work! Derick from Tennessee!
That is awesome!
Really fun video, it gave many tips & cheer ups, fun to watch & useful. I started out trying to draw with you but your speeding film made it impossible but, I did sketch some & it definitely gave me ideas. Think the tips our art is for us & mustn’t be exact in every way are useful. Enjoy was your message & I do, even if it’s not all 100%. Thanks
This is masterful and inspiring! Let's go sketch!
Awesome 😎
I really enjoyed this video. Found it contained a little bit of everything. Thank you so much.
No worries!
You're right, 'urban sketching' can be what you want it to be. However, copying from a photo is simply a different experience from drawing from life. To my mind, it depends if you are more interested in the product or the process: it's what floats your boat.
This was great, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much Toby. I love how you present your ideas with such enthusiasm and joy. Always lots of information to take away from a very entertaining video.
Thanks 🙏
gracias por este video y gracias por tu esfuerzo y dedicacion , tengo 70 años y tu me haz motivado a dibujar y lo mas interesante a divertirme dibujando . Gracias de corazon .
:)
Your lessons inspire me to go recreate all that I see in my style, thank you! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
I'm so glad!
I love your style!
Such a great video Toby. Thank you so much for your generosity. You have such a light, infectious style that always leaves me feeling "I can do this" which can only be a good thing!
You are so welcome
I think I am a total disaster and I am only able to draw with ruler and square, but I'll try to follow Your advice and let lines go free and color flow. You are fan-tas-tic at inspiring people. Thank You !
Thanks 🙏
Great inspiring video, thank you
Thank you Toby, so inspiring!!
My pleasure!
Ty for the tips 😊
It's so brilliant of you to share your knowledge and expertise with us. Thank you.
My pleasure!
good job toby, i will watch the perspective video
Hope you enjoyed it!
It is mesmerising to see you draw with such consummate ease!!! Hats off! Many many thanks for such a detailed vlog! I will watch it again and try to draw along. Tried to draw a tree (no where near yours), but my daughter liked it!
Well done!
Thank you so much for this! I'm going to have to watch it again and sketch along. I did buy the Mala case and I really like it. I'm still a newbie and find my favorite place is in my car, parked somewhere pretty. I bought a steering wheel tray for 10 dollars on amazon and keep my water cup in the cup holder. I have a comfy seat and my radio has music if I like, lol.
Glad it was helpful!
Well done!
Ta!
Thank you, Toby. Another inspiring and practical video. I enjoy you and your way of presenting your examples and ideas. Your way of drawing and using water colors appeals to me, and seems to go with what makes me happy in drawing and applying color. I do not think my drawings are 'brilliant' but I DO immensely - and passionately :-) -enjoy drawing and learning. Thanks!
My pleasure!
A super video Toby! Very enjoyable, informative and encouraging. Your courses too are great too. Keep it up. :-)
Thankyou!!
Fantastic video, Toby! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
Thanks you so much 💞
Thank you again Toby. This is another awesome video filled with great information and tips. I really appreciate the effort you have gone to in producing this.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your lessons. Thank you so much 🎉!!
You are so welcome!
This video has inspired me so much! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this video. I love your style🙏❤️
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video (and all the others I'm about to watch). I'm just starting to sketch and I am very excited to learn. This video has learned me so much about not having to sketch perfectly, drawing loosely, paying attention to forms and in particular about perspective (I never learned about this much at school). Kind regards from the Netherlands
You are so welcome!
Thank you for all the info:) I love your sketching style.
You are so welcome!
Thanks you - excellent
You are welcome!
This was great and so informative, thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it!
감사합니다.
Thankyou so much ☺️
Great video yet again. What is the ring binder paper you are using, can't find a reference in your supplies link. Thanks.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video and a very reasonable amount of ads. Thanks. Well done.
Great
Thanks Toby, you make it look so easy. Personally I find it frustrating at times. I guess I lack your confidence only have been sketching for four months. For me it's a case of take time and keep practicing, which is like taking the medicine. I'd like to draw like you, but it doesn't seem to be happening just yet. I'll just keep on with the Skillshare courses. I could do with something on how to overcome nerves and shaking, so if you have any ideas, I'd be very interested. Thanks, NDC.
Frustration is far from uncommon, just try to enjoy the prices and not concern yourself with the result
Bedankt
Wow thankyou!
You’re welcome. Your films are, to be honest, worth much more but this is what I can share at the moment. Thank you for your contents everything again.
Hi Toby, thanks for the great video. What sketchbook did you use in this one please?
Hahnemuhle I think
Hope you don't mind me asking but what's the nib size of your fountain pen?
Extra fine, or ultra extra fine
@TobySketchLoose Thanks! I had no idea they made nibs finer than Extra Fine. That's crazy. 😲
Thank you Toby. But, fyi - there are far too many adverts (there were 6 'breaks' with 2 ads each in your vid), interrupting the flow and in mid speech. So was very distracting.
