How To Paint The Perfect Urban Sketch - Slower Ink And Watercolour Tutorial For Beginners

Today we're using our normal urban sketching techniques to create a perfect little urban sketch, keeping it loose, but being slower and more steady in our pace.
Yes, that's right - Toby 'Sketch Loose' is going to take his time over a sketch.
We will be using ink and watercolours, with a little POSCA pen magic at the end as well.
In this 'meta breaking' tutorial we'll look at all the normal sketching processes I use - but add a little more detail, a few more colours, and perhaps keep things a little more neat.

These longer videos are a real treat. Thank you Toby for such a brilliant tutorial. Loved the effect of the flat brush. Also sketching out with a watercolour pencil is a game changer!😊😊

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad you like them!

[@LukenUSee]

Very well done video for a beginner like me. I appreciate the way you explain the choices you make and how you demonstrate your processes. Very helpful, thank you!

[@TobySketchLoose]

You're very welcome!

[@isabelcaballo8676]

Toby, thanks for your time. I'm lerning lots of things with all tutorials. Have a nice Sunday!

[@TobySketchLoose]

You too

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Lovely stuff, Toby. I love the style but need to do it more until it becomes second nature.

[@Awakenedself_drsharon]

Hi Toby...that slower tutorial was very helpful. I look forward to trying this scene soon. Thanks for your work! Namaste, Sharon

[@TobySketchLoose]

Have fun!

[@isabellegodin3321]

How amazing the precision we can have with a flat brush.😵‍💫🥳🤓 An essential tutorial for how to use it. Once again an other video to perform our art. Thank you Toby.

[@TobySketchLoose]

You are so welcome!

[@whitneywetherill9587]

Loving your course, which I’m doing, but I took this afternoon off. Lucky me, I found you here!

[@TobySketchLoose]

Fantastic to hear 😊

[@anneonimus7204]

Quite delightful Toby. Helpful, instructive without over whelming us, thank you....

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tutaandnil]

[@TobySketchLoose]

My pleasure!

[@elizabethbarnes3969]

I really, really like this painting Toby. So much warmth and character. And of course, a great tutorial to boot! Thank you.

[@TobySketchLoose]

You're very welcome!

[@annewilkie6467]

Hi Toby, just found you and am so glad that I did! Love this video and will be on the lookout for more of your pen and wash. Your insights mean that I can have confidence to use my own references and yet incorporate these techniques which really do give a brilliant result. Thank you, Anne.

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Great stuff Toby. Thanks.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@valeriegehling4358]

Toby I‘ve you & your ink sketches, to thank for finding my long lost parker fountain pen set. (Card inside says 1970), propelling pencil & pen inside but no biro. A shaeffer fountain pen ( gift for 21st. 1970 ), and a single older Parker pen, plus 2 others all, having tried them out, good for sketching! This after buying a new fountain pen on Amazon, luckily a cheap one. Thanks for the new sketch & the return of my pens!

[@TobySketchLoose]

Awesome, wonderful to hear!

[@valeriegehling4358]

@@TobySketchLoose Finished a sketch of yours I started in September an autumn tree front left in a square, painted negative then inked. Mine is untidy & inaccurate but, I enjoyed the process. Thanks.

[@annipetratos9401]

Loved this tutorial, Toby. Thanks so much. Picture is beautiful.

[@TobySketchLoose]

You're so welcome!

You're so welcome!

Ich danke dir für dieses Video! Ich habe eine ideopathische Skoliose in der oberen BWS mit Schultertiefstand rechts. Seit längerem Schmerzen in rechter Schulter, Arm, Handgelenk und Fingern. Es wurde nur an den Symptomen rumgedoktort, aber niemand kam auf die wirkliche Ursache! LG Barbara

[@TobySketchLoose]

Oh I'm sorry to hear this, wishing you well ❤️‍🩹

[@g.b.7179]

@@TobySketchLoose Thanks, but I guess that I posted it under the wrong video - sorry for that mistake 😔

[@lizohagan8233]

Thanks Toby, excellent as always. I’m also really enjoying your online courses 😊

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad you like them!

[@Clara-vx4jx]

Thank you for this lovely in-depth video, I could follow along very well and am happy with my result ;-) . BTW: The sign in the back is a bicycle stand I believe...

[@TobySketchLoose]

Good to know! Hehe

[@marytesta3003]

Excellent video. The sketching was really super helpful. Thank you for your enthusiasm and passion.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@taketimetoseait396]

Fabulous

[@TobySketchLoose]

Thanks

[@dianecharest8365]

Nice as usual Toby. Ive been jumping around now, giving acrylics a try. Even though i never did even get good at watercolors. Thats my prob. I keep jumping around instead of focusing one one thing.

[@TobySketchLoose]

That's ok - it takes time to settle in a medium

[@penelopemaguire1743]

Toby, Iove your urban art sketches! More than any other art form. Lifechanging! The craft and humor are always present. So I was delighted to receive notice of this slower tutorial. I have a favor to ask. I am a 79 yo beginner who is hard of hearing. Can you please provide closed captions on your videos? I'm going to follow along as best I can to be sure - captions would be a tremendous help.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Thank you so much 😀 there should be automated subtitles from KZbin available in multiple languages - normally accessible via the little cog button in the video 🙏

[@Kwilt2collect]

Sometimes closed captioning shows up a bit after the video drops. Check back in a few.

[@carolinestripling2914]
