- Thanks for tuning in to watch my urban sketching, ink and watercolour tutorial! Don't forget to check out my channel where I have hundreds of different urban sketch tutorials, as well as other watercolour and ink sketching guides for everyone from beginners to more advanced!
If you'd like to support my channel you can buy me a 'Coffee' on KoFi - ko-fi.com/tobyurbansketch
When I reach my goal I'll upgrade my sketching tutorials with a new camera and use my old camera to give an extra view point in my videos! Perhaps my face, perhaps my watercolour palette, or some close ups of my process!
Loose urban sketching is so much fun, but a few people have messaged me to ask how to move towards loose lines, creatively introducing character into our wibbly wobbly lines. Whilst maintaining accuracy and realism at the same time.
In this short tips and tricks videos, I'll show you a couple of my absolute favourite techniques for doing this, with fine liners or fountain pens. To create fun, loose and lively urban sketches.
I'll also show you a couple of ways you can practice, aside from strictly just urban sketching - using simple drawing exercises to relax and improve our skills at the same time!

Sketch like how you would imagine a junkie might sketch? 😅
Toby, this is such fun. When I was an art student I learned to sketch everything loosely, especially moving people, dancers….now that I'm in my 80’s ice forgotten how. I'm slowly recapturing my old loose style../and you are helping. I enjoy urban sketching if no one is around…grin.
Have fun rediscovering, thanks for sharing too 😊
So glad I've discovered your channel, Toby! You're giving me so much confidence to actually put pen to paper! Thank you!
Love the whimsy of your style here....relaxing to watch as well as to practice.
Many thanks!
Toby thank you, for this quick lesson on loose sketching. You are the best!
You're very welcome!
this is one of the best videos i've seen about that "gestural" line technique. thanks. love the channel - one of the best resources for urban sketching.
Hi Laura, what a lovely comment to read. Thank you!!
Thank you Toby. I enjoy your tutorials.
Glad you like them!
A good way to keep a bit away from typical strait structural lining 🌞thank you
Hehe definitely sounds like what I enjoy!!
Just found your channel! Looks wonderful! Looking forward to trying some of your tutorials!
Awesome! Thank you!
You have an awesome channel with great videos, on my favourite new (again after 45 years) hobby of urban sketching. Keep up the great videos. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship, for me verry useful
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant .Thank you
You are welcome!
Have you got a hidden camera in my house??? I decided today to have a go at one of the sketches you demonstrated on here. Found the photo on Pinterest and had a go. OK, it is terrible (really terrible) and my first thought was, it’s not ‘wobbly’ enough and then up pops this video🤔 At least I now have a rubbish baseline sketch to check my (hopefully) progress against🙏
Haha, not quite! Someone, which might actually have been yourself (?or have I misremembered?), asked for a video on loose linework - which is where this idea came from ;)
@@TobySketchLoose 🤣🤣 It wasn’t me who specifically asked for a video but I have mentioned my lack of creative wobblyness a few times 🤗
Just remember that your wobbly sketch is still a billion times better than people like me who haven’t even drawn one yet cos we’re too scared! ❤
@@cazkiwinz4300 don’t be scared to put pencil or pen to paper. The worst that can happen is that you waste a piece of paper. In truth, no sketch is ever a total waste because good or not, you learn something from each and every one. Don’t expect to be perfect from the start, no one is. What gets you to where you want to be is just sketching. Watching videos and reading books will impart knowledge but they won’t get you drawing, only you can do that by actually picking up a pencil, a sheet of copier paper for economy and just do it. That is how you learn. You don’t have to show anyone your work until you are comfortable to do so. And, above all, don’t compare yourself to established artists who have put in the time and learned their craft. You will not start off as good as them, they did not start off as good as they are now. But if you are prepared to work at it, one day you could be better than them but not if that pencil stays in a box and that piece of paper or sketchbook never sees daylight. Go for it, you can do it 😀
Great tutorial very helpful thanks
Thanks Peter!
Thanks Toby, great tips your ideas encourage me to loosen up and practising with everyday objects is great. I enjoy continous line and exaggeration, though I find you have to go for it. If I hold back it just looks wrong 😂
Great to hear!
Cool, this was useful! Thanks.
That's great to hear!
Urbansketch.. your videos are great,who needs to stay inside the lines like all (good parents) say anymore..I feel free..ha..
Haha I totally agree 🤣👍🙏
I'm a righty that's struggling to get loose, so I'm trying to sketch left handed.
thank you!
Thanks again :)
I love your loose style. I am curious how long have you been sketching? Did you naturally sketch in this loose, wobbly manner from the beginning? Or did someone teach you this method or did you gradually become looser as time went on.
Sketching like this maybe 5-6 years I think, its something I fought against and gradually just accepted that actually I enjoyed.
Thanks
Thank you for your generosity, really very kind of you and much appreciated!!!!
@@TobySketchLoose Thank you for the time you give to share your knowledge 🙏🏻
Very cool. I really have trouble to let go. My linework is generally rather tight (usually sketch in pencil, then after a lot of corrections ink it), and then walk straight into the trap of "the colouring page", keeping dilligently in those lines...😅
I think just skipping the pencil phase and going straight in with gestural pen work might be a good remedy, loose penwork shoulbfacilitaye loose paint...
I'll give it a go.
Thanks Edze, and lovely to hear your thoughts.
I've just been filming a few videos about loose colours too, so look out for them in the next month or so if you like :)
@Toby Urbansketch I will. As for colors, I brutally reduced my palette, and found that helps. Just using three paints in one work makes me less nitpicky about trying to match the colors of my subject exactly. It's also a pretty foolproof way to achieve color harmony.
@@edzejandehaan9265 very true!
Toby, I just found your channel. One of my interests is sketching the outline of the body, with movement, but not the concrete absolute details. Do you cover anything like this in your videos? I enjoy the looseness of an outline, for me it invokes a sense of mystery for the viewer being invited into their own story or interpretation of what is happening.
I've got a few videos on quick people which might be there kind of thing you're after... I think later this week there's is a video I've scheduled on capturing the essence of people 👍 you can also check out my playlist on sketching people to see if my store there gels with what you're looking for 😃
🤗🤗🍁🍁
:) thanks :)
Interesting video, if only I could hear it. The sound is so muffled that I had to use the subtitles and that takes the eye off what the pen is doing. Very frustrating. ☹️
Indeed, surprisingly difficult and expensive to get great audio 😢 recently bought a new mic, future vids are much better, this one is quite old
