As soon as you opened your book and I saw that drawing I said That’s exactly what I want to do too! Love that drawing and thanks for the tips and info. Great lesson. ✌️
I loved this video but, didn't see any actual "hacks" ... maybe I misunderstand what that term means. Thank you for showing your process, the drawing is great.
No question is dumb! The official definition of urban sketching is 'drawing' the world around you. Pen is the easiest thing available which makes a permanent mark. Everyone has a pen on them and we are all used to using it, and its also extremely portable. Having said that there are videos on my channel where I use pencils, oil pastels and even digital drawing for my urban sketches. There's no 'right' way of doing it, it's just that the majorty of sketchers use the pen and ink/watercolour method. For me at least, urban sketching is more about the subject than about the material!
Urban sketching is drawing urban interiors from life. I think your definition in the beginning was good but its not ”drawing from life” Because its not drawing nature, people or interiors from life it is specifically urban interiors
The official manifesto of urban sketchers states 'We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.' So it can incorporate anything in your environment really :)
One day! You can build up confidence slowly. I have had this channel for over 10 years but I have only thought to put up my work now😂 trust me, you will know when its time, don't worry
