@@niksiever3135 For somebody making youtube videos with a camera around them, yeah I can see that. But a lot of the things he touched on are really important....changing shadows, a lack of light due to it being an overcast day, the garbage truck blocking the view, it's all stuff you don't get from a tutorial that uses photo reference. And at the end of the day, sketching "in real life" is our goal, right?
Lol! I had the opposite problem. I was sketching a truck as part of a street scene. When the driver came and abruptly drove off. I really enjoyed this video. Like the realism. A few sessions ago. I had a weird guy take interest. Not only was he creepy but he kept walking infront of my scene. So frustrating! But I keep on urban sketching its so much fun!
Great to watch you keep filming through the challenges! It’s interesting how you work to balance the actual scene with your own artistic expression of it.
Oh, that was absolute gold. You were so calm about those trucks. I laughed lots when they kept swapping around - so real life. Thank you so much, Toby, for showing it how it is, and explaining how to cope and still enjoy the process.
You are right - I'm sat probably 5M lower than the building and with a big expanse of pavement in front of me. I didn't conciously change the viewpoint so much as try to make it more interesting :)
