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 Месяц назад

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.

@shawhit8155 2 месяца 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!

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!

@UJB123 2 месяца 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.👍

@Valerie-ut2dk 2 месяца 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.

@PeterMaldwyn-tr8rd Месяц 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.

@JoAnneSmith-di8ok 2 месяца 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 Месяц назад

Yes very true!

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!

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.

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
