Easy Loose URBAN SKETCHING Tutorial for Beginners (Simple Ink & Watercolor Process!)

[@und3adgr4ve]

ive been searching for sooo long to find a artist that uses such light wash bright colors so i can learn and you are by far the best, ive followed this process and im very pleased with how it turned out, for someone who's never used colors in this way you made it very easy to follow along, thank you

[@rewanhesham1405]

I really love the way you illustrate your videos! It is good to see the reference photo while you are sketching at your normal pace because it gives us an insight into your thinking process while sketching. Thank you for that!🙌

[@deetee-uk]

I think this is the best urban sketch tutorial I've seen so far and is giving me the confidence to have a go. Hope you do more easy ones like this for people like me wanting to try it 🙂

Love hearing the little one in the background. Makes me smile. Thanks for tutorial. The pic was kind of common but your rendering made it fun.

I enjoy watching your video very much and it's incredible how it helps me to improve. Love your dot technique. Thank you !!!

[@danpost4755]

Scottie! Another great project and tutorial video! I am still wrapping my brain around this technique and that random squiggles are good things, not mistakes. Lol. That said, I am really enjoying your channel and content. You have a nice, easy way of explaining things as you go. I am having fun trying some of these projects, too. Hopefully, I will be joining you on Patreon soon.

[@SketchingScottie]

Yes embrace the squiggles! 😊 thanks Daniel 👍🏼

Hi Scottie, new subscriber here! Your dot technique has been an incredible help to improving my drawing! I noticed right away I was able to start sketching better right away. Thanks!!

[@SketchingScottie]

That’s so good Amanda!👍🏼🙌🏼

[@marmyyetter5674]

I love your videos!

[@maggiefreeman6513]

Great tutorial thanks

[@kathylovesmk]

One of the reasons I've shyed away from urban sketching is the boring "real life" color palette. You tend to use much brighter, not necessarily realistic, colors and I LOVE it!! How do you decide the more vibrant color palette?

[@SketchingScottie]

Glad you liked the colors! I just try and keep the watercolors really light so you can still see the line work. With the violet shadows it just happens nicely! 😊

Great tips!❤

It’s really great fun to sketch different kind of shopfront around the city I got a question , can you show us how to illustrate the shop front or neon light signboard at night time ? Especially the neon light signage is so fascinating in the urban cityscape Looking forward to that 🥳👍🏻

[@SketchingScottie]

Great suggestion Ben! Night scenes is something I can work on 👍🏼

[@B.L-t5q]

Thank you Scottie ❤

Good work,, I must show you my result 😁

[@Olivia.587]

Great tutorial thankyou! I'm trying to work my way through all your tutorials, as I've only recently 'discovered' you. I think your technique is 'less is more'. I need to learn this, as I usually overdo the watercolour. Just one question... why were you using a waterbrush, without using it as a waterbrush? (i.e. you used a pot of water, rather than the reservoir in the brush) 🤔

[@SketchingScottie]

that’s great! with the water brush, Yes if I was outdoors I won’t be using a jar of water. I would just brush it on a paper towel. It just saved water. I don’t actually use it anymore in tutorials but I used to like it because I could squeeze the pen and add water as I stroked the watercolor on the paper. Now I have better quality brushes that hold more water so I stopped using the water brush pen.

[@agold1702]

Fantastic ❤

[@katherinestegall7586]

I really enjoy your pace and tips in your tutorials.Is your pen permanent ink? My ink bleeds when I add a bit of watercolor to my sketch.

[@SketchingScottie]

yes Uniball Eye Micro pens have waterproof ink

[@Groinattack1]

Hey Scottie. Great tutorial as always. As a fellow Aussie, any recommendation on a super beginner watercolour set?

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks CJ! Yea you can get some cheap watercolour sets in officeworks that actually work really well if you just want to test watercolour out. ‘Koh-I-Noor’ in those black round plastic discs which are pretty good for super beginners 😊

[@Groinattack1]

@@SketchingScottie Cheers Scottie, I will have a look at Officeworks!

[@annestrauss161]

Sometimes I choose a subject, and then I discover that it is way too hard for me. If you are looking for viewer suggestions, I propose a tutorial about choosing subjects and evaluating what makes them tricky.

[@SketchingScottie]

great suggestion!

[@graceruth9491]

New subscriber here! Looking to try urban sketching soon! Thanks to your tutorial! :) may i ask what kind of pens would you recommend that won't bleed when used with watercolors? Would appreciate your suggestion. Hopefully we also have it here in PH. 🇵🇭

[@SketchingScottie]

Yes you can check out the description and I have some suggestions there 👍🏼

[@katsmith8263]

[@InkSketcher]

FANTASTIC! I'm definitely learning a lot from your videos. You are an excellent instructor, sketcher, etc. Have you ever used watercolor pens in place of regular watercolors? How do you feel about them overall? Please don't change a thing. your method is great. SUBSCRIBE/LIKE/SHARE/COMMENT/REPLY/JOIN/THX.

thanks, no, I haven’t tried any of the watercolour pens, but they sound interesting
