 Urban Sketching at the Cafe and Boardwalk (Day 86)

Day 86 of sketching people. The calm of sketching people at the cafe when you know they’re not going to move much vs. the urgency of sketching people on a bench when you fear they may get up to walk at any minute means you create different line styles. Tight vs. loose.

Using Different Art Materials and Sketching Styles to Vault a Creative Hurdle (Day 67)

Day 67 of sketching people. Sketching from photos to get a jolt of inspiration after hitting a creative lull. I used a different style for one sketch, and incorporated different art materials for the other. I also show how I created my watercolour pencil stubbies, so that they’re an ideal size to take urban sketching.
