Hello from a Tennessee portrait artist just getting back into urban sketching. I am finding it fun but not as easy as I thought. Thanks for the good tips.

Hey!! Indeed it’s fun but very different from studio painting… it gets easier with practice of course! 👍😊

@WheeTeck12 күн бұрын
Ah it takes a little getting used to. I find them expressive and light, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. So I don’t hard sell it as I know some who likes heavier pen and some who likes many other good brands 😊🙏

so the best way to sketch figures is to have years of experience to the point you can just render an image in the correct proportion . no layout , no construction lines. just draw. It works but it takes a long time
@WheeTeck15 күн бұрын
Ah, you misread the headline, it says the SIMPLEST way not the BEST way. In my image I rendered it slightly off proportion, I even laughed at my own error of longer legs (see video at 19:59) error. So the BEST way to sketch figures is to get a degree in fine arts or like you suggest layout, construction lines… but my years of urban sketching has taught me that most figures would have moved by the time you finish with the layout and construction lines hence not very practical for URBAN SKETCHING. Glad you tuned in, and appreciate your thoughts!

I can't thank you enough for this! I have struggled to draw figures in my urban sketches using the more common "head first" approach, and then measuring the rest of body in terms of head heights. I have never been satisfied with the results. It makes so much more sense to me to start with the largest shape first, just like we do with buildings and every other subject. I drew along with your examples as best as I could, and I can already see an improvement!

Haha yes chair definitely is not important when compared to the figure 😂 but once you get the torso in. Easier to place furnitures around it… it takes some practice still 😉
@MindYourNewness20 күн бұрын
drawing the torso first! love this approach. I usually start with the head first but often it's too big
@WheeTeck20 күн бұрын
Indeed that’s the problem. Also the head moves more than the torso! So it helps once you anchor down the torso then the other parts come in play 😊
