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!!!

@TobySketchLoose 18 дней назад

Awesome, thank you!

@patrickgenereux1084 29 дней назад

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.

@lizohagan8233 29 дней назад

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!

@TobySketchLoose 21 день назад

Thank you kindly!

@shawhit8155 29 дней назад

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!

@jeanneaguirre6980 29 дней назад

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 !

@williamlang175 29 дней назад

"Recreate the world in your vision". I love that! Really enjoyed this video!

@UJB123 29 дней назад

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.👍

@hpottstock 29 дней назад

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.

@TobySketchLoose 21 день назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@heatherburston673 29 дней назад

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. 🙂

@vivienneadamson2307 29 дней назад

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🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@AnnQuarles 29 дней назад

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

@TobySketchLoose 21 день назад

Glad it was helpful!

@Valerie-ut2dk 29 дней назад

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.

"Recreate the world in your vision"🤩 Such an encouraging video!

@JoAnneSmith-di8ok 29 дней назад

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".

@TobySketchLoose 18 дней назад

Yes very true!

@FrancesFraser-wl1je 29 дней назад

Thank you Toby. Reminding us of all the little basics and making it look so easy and enjoyable is definitely your forte

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!

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 🙏

@kirstynewbery8012 29 дней назад

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!

@rossanaamendolla2300 29 дней назад

@harrietbissette 28 дней назад

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!!! 😊

@mixedmedialife7916 29 дней назад

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.

@Anna_Amoroso 29 дней назад

@valeriegehling4358 29 дней назад

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

@josheichenhorn8631 10 дней назад

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!

@TobySketchLoose 18 дней назад

No worries!

@craftykat 29 дней назад

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.

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 !

@hanniejans3439 26 дней назад

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

@TobySketchLoose 25 дней назад

@grahamcolley9595 29 дней назад

Great inspiring video, thank you

@PeterMaldwyn-tr8rd 10 дней назад

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.

@jacquiebeads9649 22 дня назад

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.

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!

Great video and a very reasonable amount of ads. Thanks. Well done.

@Mousyfox 29 дней назад

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.

@TobySketchLoose 21 день назад

Frustration is far from uncommon, just try to enjoy the prices and not concern yourself with the result

Hope you don't mind me asking but what's the nib size of your fountain pen?

@TobySketchLoose 22 дня назад

Extra fine, or ultra extra fine

@izzyg8316 22 дня назад

@TobySketchLoose Thanks! I had no idea they made nibs finer than Extra Fine. That's crazy. 😲

@jackiegagne2625 29 дней назад

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.
