If you're anything like me, you'll find you often are tempted to over complicate things. And with figures and people this can be disastrous. It's so easy to simplify buildings and trees, but it can be hard to work out how to simplify a human form!
Remember, urban sketching isn't about capturing a scene like a photo - it's about capturing the essence in an enjoyable way, in your style. People don't sit still for us to sketch, so we need quick ways to put figures onto paper so our scene matches our expectations!
This is a method I often use for sketching simple figures into my scenes, and I hope that it helps someone else out there - either as a confidence booster or a new technique to play with.

The key thing I’ve learned is that there is always a tendency to draw the head too big so I make a conscious effort to make them on the smaller side. Big bodies are more believable than big heads 🙂
Very true very true!!! Hope you're having fun sketching people :)
Good advice👍
Helpful advice. Thanks!
'My CURRENT favourite pen'... lol I feel that
toby, your tutorials are some of the best I've found. your skills in sketching are rivaled by your ability to convey information effectively.
Thank you, kind Sir… You made the concept of adding people less scary for me… I do believe I can tackle this… 🤗
Haha brilliant. Really glad to hear, just go for it and find a style that suits you!
I sure love your teaching! Things are so much more easy then I try to make them. Love your style, your words and your voice.
Thank you for doing this for us beginners who feel we "can't" draw! Now I have hope! :O)
You are so welcome!
This is exactly what I was going to say but you said it so much better!
thank you :)@@user-zh8oc3uc6k
Thanks for all of your tutorials, Toby. I love your style and am learning so much.
Great to hear!
I've not been big on drawing people but I have been taking steps to change that. So this has been a great help.
Good to hear!
I was so afraid to add people to my urban sketches and after these 4 rules, I have more confidence. thank you!
Brill!
These tips and exercises are WONDERFUL!! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them!
73 years old and having a ball with your videos....one or two practices sketches every day or so... I am able to produce some very rudimentary little drawings and watercolor/pen paintings that provide immense enjoyment....Thanks for you splendid tutorials and lighthearted presentation!
That is awesome!
@@TobySketchLoose Thanks..have found your 10 lesson intro course and am continuing to amaze myself with producing a small sketch I have always wanted to do but had no idea where to begin. This means a great deal to me; your method of instruction is accessible and most pleasant (I taught for 30 years). I will probably enroll in the regular class once I have finished the intro. Still can't believe I can sketch.....Thanks so much!
This was so helpful and playful! Thank you!
So glad!
Great explanation for perspective and people in a crowd! Thank you!
Thanks Angela - Im glad it was helpful!
drawing people has always scared me. After watching this today, I took the train downtown and watched people, and I could see everyone as those 3 shapes! Tomorrow, I start sketching
Haha brilliant
You single handedly took the pressure off me giving this a go. Thank you so much.
Brill! Hope you enjoy :)
Toby I am really enjoying your art lessons. Your timing and voice allows me to hear what you are teaching and is meditative for me. Thank you
You are very welcome
This was helpful and so simple! Thanks. I'm loving urban sketching
You made it very clear about where the heads and feet go with perspective. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
It looks easy when you do it!
🙏
Toby, you are so good and thoughtful of others. A super teacher!!!
You're very kind
Simply magnificent! I'm sure I've waited all my life for this. Thank you. You blessed us with it. ❤
I love this. You really take the intimidation out of drawing from life. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😀
Terrific tips. Very effective style to add interest to a scene. 👏👏👏 thank you.
Thanks Judy, lovely to hear such positive feedback. Glad you found it useful!!!
Thanks very much for this. Very helpful.
This is a bit of a game changer for me - I was so obsessed with rendering things perfectly that I was too afraid to start! Remembering that human beings love to see patterns and representation in shapes takes the pressure out of perfectly translating my observations into an accurate representation.
Great to hear it helped!
Toby, you're amazing. You're a blessing to aspiring urban sketchers like me.
Thankyou ☺️
THANKS so much. I have avoided 'people' in sketches as they just never looked RIGHT. And when I see how simple you make yours and they look great, I know I can do this! I will practice lots and then start dropping these characters into sketches. I love how they bring scenes to life that are otherwise rather boring. Well done. Clear and simple instructions. I will watch whatever else you have done. Much appreciated.
You're very welcome!
Simple and easy. Thanks!
No problem 😁
I love the witch, I did not expect it 😍.
I will implement your lesson immediately, thank you very much!
You're welcome 😊Thanks for the feedback :)
So glad I found yours lessons you are so good
Thank you so much! That was very clear and good explained!
Nownorries, really glad it helped!
Thank you! I am a beginner and appreciate the simplicity
You are so welcome! Simplicity is the key to enjoyment for me!
Thank you sooo much, that was fantastic. I'm definitely going to practice drawing people now.
You're welcome 😊

Thanking you so much it was most useful. Ill be following your channel as I am English living in Australia. I find the English reserve and modesty most refreshing after all the loud extroverted Americans on utube.
Thanks Mary!

No problem!
perspective tip is especially useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I found this to be incredibly helpful for thumbnailing as well.
Glad to hear it! And yes, very good idea for thumbnailing, I hadn't thought of that :)
Thank you so much. Going to try urban sketching on my next trip

Thank you!! Have a lovely New Year
Thankyou.

Yes
Cool Video, helps a lot
Glad to hear it! :)
Hi Toby if you share amazon links for your pens, I can buy them through you so you get the referral amount. A small way to show our appreciation
Вы молодец,вы учите смелости рисовать,я всю жизнь боялся,но благодаря художникам из ютуба,стал...рисовать,ну учитывая что в школе мне говорили что я вообще не благословен рисовать,совершенно не способен подбирать цвета..Вам отдельное спасибо.
Спасибо большое, Добрые слова
This is something I have struggled with, maninly due to lack of practice but also due to not really understanding the rules. This video has helped me learn how to start improving on this. My biggest problem is trying to put to much detail in, especially if I try to draw a face, feet or hands.
Have you got a similar instructional video for drawing cars and other vehicles before painting with watercolour?
Glad it helped a bit! I haven't at present got a car video, but it's a good idea - I'll pop it on the to do list :)
Nice!
Thanks 👍👍😊
Thanks Toby,..love your videos,.. appreciate it mate 🙏🏼 i learn so much
:D
Less is more. So cool! Tks.
Thanks George!
Please draw your sketches larger so that we can see them better. Your sketches are so good and you explain them so well so I want to see them more clearly. Thanks.
Thanks Pam - that is helpful feedback and I appreciate you giving it in a kind way :)
Thank you for share! I always have trouble with human figures...
No worries!
😊
Nice. Thank you. What pen are you using?
I think from your other comment you've seen, but they're winsor Newton fineliners - I think 0.1mm or 0.3mm as these are my favourite in that brand!
Nice vídeo! I know you do mostly pen and water color, but can you do a tutorial to sketch with charcoal pencil? There are only hiper realist videos with charcoal pencil, i really would enjoy to drawn loosey with charcoal pencil! Thanks and good job
I can try :D Will take some experimentation haha
So , do I have this information right to draw figures simply? In perspective all the heads need to be at the same height or was it the feet like that short figure ? And all the heads or feet on the line would be the same height except for the tall figure at the end ? But what about the short guy in front ? And the figures are the same size unless they are in the back or was that side to side? Oh I simply don't understand perspective lol .
I'm not sure I follow all your questions exactly right .... but in a flat scene, everybody's heads will be on the horizon line. Because the horizon line is at eye level. If you start with this principle, things will follow :)
it's so great Sketching , I love your page, amazing 😍💙 thanks for sharing
look my urban sketching too my friend💜
Thank you very much!!
