How to Sketch Places Quickly

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
  • The goal of this lesson, and others from my 'Sketching Places Quickly' course is to help you reduce a scene down to it's most basic elements, whilst still capturing the essence of the place. Working from reference photos is great practice for transitioning to outdoors, where you've got the elements working against you, as well a nosey passers-by!
    If you want to have a go at this exercise, you'll find a link to the reference photo in the description. The challenge is to draw the scene 3 times on the stopwatch, with each attempt faster than the one previous. The target time for the first attempt should be no more than 20-25 minutes. By the third sketch you should be aiming for 15 minutes.
    Although I've speeded the video up slightly in some parts, it only reduced the total time of this lesson by a couple of minutes. Without commentary, I completed this sketch a second time in 16 minutes.
    Enjoy and let me know how you get on in the comments below!

    I don’t know if you’re familiar with the video game Red Dead Redemption 2 but in the game the main character has a journal he periodically sketches in. I’ve been playing through the game again and forgot how much I loved the detailed yet messy sketches that he filled his journal and got me thinking I should give it a go but didn’t know where to start. This video helps out a ton, thanks!

      Yes, you are not alone in that desire. Ever since playing the game I was enamored with the personal art style that saturated Arthur's notebook (I personally like Arthur's more than John's style) and wanted to be able to do similarly. It took some time, years, but here I am trying to do so. A personal sketchbook just to mess around, not making anything proper yet, has been a worthwhile endeavor. Best of luck to you, a little drawing here and there is all it takes.

    Great demo. I liked how you inverted the tone when a darker form crossed over into a darker area of tone, like the tree into the wall. It really maintains the presence of that form and creates really clear design. I was wondering where you first picked up that sense of design?

    great example of how a personal sketch can overcome an already great photograph in matter of dynamic and tension.

    I thought that objects close were more distinct than those in the distance.
    If we don't need to draw every leaf etc. why is it important to get perspective right?
    The effect of using dark values is the creation of contrast.
    Contrast draws attention to an area.

Also I don't understand why my pencils seemed softer than yours. Eg my 2B came out way darker compared to yours and needed sharpening which slowed me down too. ? Am I just pressing too hard? I'm a total sketching newbie in case you couldn't tell hah!
