Urban sketching in the Lisbon harbor

[@mariuszota]

Of course. Is it that hard to picture yourself?!!! :-D :o)

It’s hard for me to adopt a lose style and make it look decent

[@maximus4375]

Adnan A my god this is relateable In any drawing i always get caught up in wanting every line too be straight, and the drawing ends up looking like shit

[@DrAdnan]

Maximus Yeah, graceful simplicity is a special skill. We just need more practice 🙌

[@maximus4375]

Adnan A i wish you good luck in learning this skill

[@DrAdnan]

Maximus Thanks, you too!

Fantastic! It's absolutely wonderful to be able to watch you work on site - so inspiring. Thank you very much for sharing this with us!

[@blyrax]

He used neither a grid nor a guide line. Please give this man and Lobo Loco a raise.

[@pozartive]

That was fantastic, thank you so much for sharing your techniques and knowledge. I've had Pilot Parallel pens for years but never used them for sketching - well, that's about to change right now :)

[@usetherightbrain.]

This is most excellent insight on how to be selective for a better composition. You chose only a tiny portion- a small peephole of what is actually there to draw/paint, and a beautiful composition at the end. thank you.

[@farmerfox3332]

Choice of music, attention to detail in the field and focus on your passion make this a good watch. Thank you for your time.

[@blyrax]

The music was sick, right?

[@jessiraeann]

Beautifully done! I also like how the cat tried to photobomb the sketching.

[@Sebastian37s]

You made my day happier, thank u, sir...

[@jadebethj4807]

this is so lovely. I want to get back into sketching like this. I just recently started watercoloring!

[@auroremuller4539]

Wow I never thought I could use my parallel pen to sketch with. Great idea. Thank you👍

[@oxfords1]

Wow extremely helpful in sketching buildings at that angle. Just what I was looking for and the speed with which you did it was perfect because we got to see most of the process. I assume sides of the windows on the buildings were drawn parallel to the page? and the bottom ones parallel to the top and bottom Line? I ask because I'm just getting into perspective and I want to make sure that's what it is. thank you so much

[@walisson20]

esse vídeo me fez comprar uma aquarela e sair pintando por aí! good job

[@jjl1115]

U r my favorite urban sketcher. I really like your style, which is not free style doodle. I like the details you made.

[@alvirosy]

Your sketch as well as the final result are truly exceptional. I'm lovin it! :))

[@anton__r]

The cat standing still wanted to be on the drawing too -_-

[@freccianord9883]

Grazie Maestro❤

[@neillpayne1998]

I love how you moved the square rigged sailing ship to improve the composition. Beautiful sketch.

Wonderful! I really enjoyed watching you sketch and paint. I find this video very encouraging, thank you.

[@annepercival7814]

I have these pens but not used because ink not waterproof.....how do you refill the cartridges? O is there a special adaptor for these pens? Great idea to use paler ink in the distant boat!

[@Stephanie-xz7qd]

I don't think he fills up the cartridge, just dips it into ink

[@filipeda27]

@ Anne Percival I refill the cartridges with Noodlers black ink using a syringe

[@annepercival7814]

Filipe Almeida thankyou

[@henrycruz5919]

amazing...what pen/ink nib do you use?

[@tivipanasonic]

I think he used a pilot parallel pen.

[@Lunahverde]

Hi Filipe you are pretty amazing and so inspiring. I'd like to buy some new art supplies like yours but first I need to know if the ink you use, the Noodlers, is dangerous for the fountain pens if it dry, and you have to wash pens and converters every time you stop drawing.

[@filipeda27]

Lunahverde I never had any problems with the Noodlers ink, it never dried in any of my pens. But I never left any pen without use for too long. Usually I refill my pens many times in a row without washing, but if you stop using a pen I would recommend taking out the ink and washing it.

[@madelinee24]

I love it!

[@mariyaimam8246]

[@Kazzzy03]

the drawing looks better than real life haha

[@faypaints]

Is this sketchbook also made with Arches Drawing paper? Why do you choose Arches' drawing paper over watercolor paper? This paper seems to handle the ink and washes well. I'm still searching for the right paper for my sketchbooks. Have been using watercolor paper, but wish there was something a little thinner. I am hoping that Arches drawing paper might be a possibility. Thanks. Love your sketches!

[@filipeda27]

Faypaints, actually the use of the Arches drawing paper was an experiment. I wanted to try a cream colored paper and this was what I found. Although it holds the ink and water well, I think it absorbs the colour a bit much and sometimes the result is a bit bland. If you want thin watercolour paper for a sketchbook you can try the Fabriano Studio 200gr, the Canson C à Grain 180gr or a Bockinford 192gr. They are easy to fold and do hold the water.

[@faypaints]

Thank you Filipe. I have looked at the Saunders paper in the past, also, and wondered if that would work. I really appreciate your input. Happy Sketching!

[@kialmiart5928]

This made me inspired. Btw, what kinf of pen you use?

[@Louis-lu5wh]

Kialmi Art pilot parrallel and it looked like he also used an Ef fountain pen

[@recolourenco1427]

Awesome!!!

[@lutobor13]

You don't use stock ink in your parallel pen do you? Because mine get smudged like hell with watercolors.

[@filipeda27]

I fill my pen with Noodlers black ink. It's waterproof.

[@leilamarialamon6397]

Gostei muito de seu trabalho. Parabens.

[@artthonyestudios8835]

How do you place your camera when you record on the street, and use both hands? PLEASE

[@filipeda27]

Artthony, I use a tripod with an extension wood arm that I built to keep the camera over the sketchbook

[@artthonyestudios8835]

If you can take a photo, to see how you put the camera I would greatly appreciate it, since I need to record videos outdoors but I do not know how to hold the camera to give you that perspective that you have achieved and which paa mi is amazing. Thanks in advance. P. S. My email is [e-mail]

[@yanlucky7]

Why the ink and watercolor dun mix? The ink should be water base right?

[@aritewe]

I like it

[@simaom7609]

Obrigado por estes videos. Aprendo mais a ver isto do que a ler livros durante horas. Se puderes por favor continua a fazer uploads! Quando pintaste o céu, as não tens "hard edges", parece que estás a pintar wet on wet, mas não no vídeo não poes água antes da tinta. Como é que fazes para não teres hard edges sem wet on wet? Obrigado!

[@filipeda27]

Simão, já não me recordo bem, mas na realidade devo ter aplicado água antes, só que no video está cortado. Pelo menos é assim que faço quase todos os meus céus, wet on wet. Às vezes aplico água só em algumas zonas, para obter "hard edges" e "soft edges" de forma aleatória e dar algum dinamismo.

What kind of ink do you use for the pen? It is waterproof but what brand or kind... By the way, Amazing work!!!

[@filipeda27]

Armando O.M. I use Noodlers Black ink. I also have a pen with Noodlers Lexington Gray.

[@tmjromao]

nice video. inspiring.

[@mmachefert]

Génial

[@norrin_falk]

Boas Filipe, linhas lindas, posso.te perguntar onde compraste essa caneta?

[@filipeda27]

Acho que na altura em que a comprei (há alguns anos atrás) a mandei vir pela net. Mas agora já se vê nas lojas de artes em Portugal. Em Lisboa tenho a certeza que está à venda no Ponto das Artes.

[@DraDiSe]

which ink do you use with the parallel pen that doesnt smudge with watercolor¿

[@filipeda27]

Marie, the ink I use with all my pens is the Noodler's Black. Many sketchers I know use the Platinum Carbon Ink. I think you can them both easily on the internet.

[@DraDiSe]

Filipe Almeida thank you filipe! I will see which one could I find easily in Spain :D

[@arundabholkar4922]

Filipe, Beautifully done! Noodler's Black is supposed to be a permanent ink but not a waterproof ink. From your demo, it seems you can safely use watercolor over it.

[@scribadibdib]

Not sure if you'll see this but I bought that exact pen as well and it seems to leak out of the part where the clear part meets the body. Do you have this problem and if so how did you solve it? Do you fill the body? Or do you refill the cartridges?

[@filipeda27]

I never had any problem with my pen. I always refill the cartridges (I think it is still the same cartridge that I started using a few years back). Maybe your cartrige does not seal properly.

[@scribadibdib]

@@filipeda27 ya thats what im thinking too. What do you think about using the body instead?

[@filipeda27]

I never thought of that, but I don't see the need for it. I can do plenty of sketches with just one refill. You would have to buy an o-ring and grease to seal the body correctly, but even with that I would not know if the pen would work fine. I never heard of a Parallel working like an eye-dropper.

[@scribadibdib]

@@filipeda27 ok thank you!

[@veaudor]

@@filipeda27 I think you mean silicone grease, not regular messy oils.

[@sknaht]

What type of ink do you use? I have a pilot parallel pen like yours, the ink in it is water-soluable as hell. No way I could mix it with watercolor like you do.

[@filipeda27]

I use Noodlers black ink, but you can also try the Platinum Carbon ink.

[@sknaht]

@@filipeda27 Thanks, I'll try those! Great sketching btw :)

[@superpitchmen]

what kind of pen is that, the first one that you use

[@filipeda27]

Spasimir, it is a Pilot Parallel pen

[@superpitchmen]

So you are just rotating it to change the line thickness?

[@filipeda27]

In this case was to use the gray ink that I have on the other pen, to draw the ship in the background

[@superpitchmen]

Filipe Almeida I mean with the pilot pen, for example when you are drawing the tower thingy at around 1:15, it seems like it can do really thin lines and then really thick ones as well

[@filipeda27]

Yes. It is a calligraphy pen with an unusual nib. It allows for line variation depending on the angle you use it.

[@kaylakencana9880]

Cool

[@JoanaLou]

Fantástico! :)

[@kjh311]

Whenever I try using watercolors over ink the ink disappears even if it's a relatively thin wash. I guess that means my watercolors are too cheap maybe

[@georgisalmini1211]

Or maybe it's the ink that's causing you trouble. Some inks don't smudge with water so try checking those out.

[@quiltingjen]

Could you tell me what the pen is you are using please.

The cat hahaha

[@pedrosardinha3711]

Wait, man r you portuguese ? I am too!!!!
