Just popped in to say I'm very biased... but huge fan of v3 ;) Great vid!

[@sketchybrett]

Thanks Toby. I’m a big fan of your channel! We should collab sometime?! Also if ever in Cape Town… let me know!

[@TobySketchLoose]

I love sketching to painting... Find little messy

[@AlfrSjalfr]

Great idea to show the 3 levels of lines. A little trick... if you run out of ink with just a few inches of line left to draw. Dip the tip of the nib in a little drop of water, it will dissolve the last bit of ink left and allow you to make that last little inch you need.

[@sketchybrett]

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@sdcasbah]

The tutorial I didn't know I needed! This was so helpful and awesome. I always wondered about the most basic element - the line! Thank you so much for this.

[@sketchybrett]

I’m so glad this was helpful! Really appreciate the feedback.

[@flookoco2008]

Interesting video, great to see the different styles. I find the loose style much easier and I’m happy with my results. I think the neater version takes a greater level of skill in which I am lacking.

[@sketchybrett]

Thanks. So glad you enjoyed it. It’s so interesting that different people find different approaches easier or harder. Some people find the loose sketching so much harder. Thanks for sharing!

[@nathanmoore4830]

Excited to see the colour!!!

[@sketchybrett]

Busy with the edit now. Dropping next Tuesday 🎨

[@InvictaOceanGhost]

Glad it was helpful!

[@valeriegehling4358]

Interesting, I’ve read & heard of loose but, now I’ve seen it in practice Thanks look forward to painting hope to learn more about bandied about phrases. As a beginner so many new terms.

[@sketchybrett]

Glad you enjoyed it. Are there any phrases or jargon you need help with?

Glad you liked it!

[@deborahbecker860]

I really enjoyed the video, with all the different styles. Could you say a little something about perspective. I get it perfect in one place, and then wonky right next to that.

[@sketchybrett]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Sure I'll do a video on perspective with a focus on maintaining it as you move through the composition.

[@queenbuzybee4074]

Hey Brett, just stumbled upon your channel and left a sub. Which nib are you using in the Lamy Safari and which document ink?

[@sketchybrett]

Thanks so much for the sub! I have a few nibs and they are really easy to change between. I was using the fine nib here and speedball ink. I also use Windsor & Newtown ink often.

[@pmnirmal4634]

A very useful video. Thanks ! Let me point out a small typing mistake ! In the thumbnail of the video, it is written 'Skteching'. If possible you can correct !

[@sketchybrett]

Yes, you are right, thanks. Glad the video offered value to you!

[@Michael-nu6fb]
