Fantastic Toby. Thanks !! Its too easy to get bogged down in detail.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad it was helpful!

[@noumine]

Thank you. Great steps to follow!

You're welcome!

[@thughes1987]

Excellent work! Love it. This was one of the most useful videos on art I've seen in such a long time. I've been struggling to clearly define my art style and process and have been flip-flopping a little too much. Seeing your 5 step plan inspired me to carefully think my own steps and write it down. ❤

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@hilarybailey2902]

Thank you Toby. I loved the way you simplified the busy photo and then added all those punchy colours. The wires and pole were the great finishing touch! Really enjoyed that. It was very helpful 😊

[@TobySketchLoose]

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks for another great video. Your explanations are quite helpful. Well done.

[@TobySketchLoose]

My pleasure!

[@ladyhollman9534]

Great one as usual, but fyi, the initial pencil .. that isn’t a color that can be easily seen on screen even zooming in. Well, not to my old eyes anyway. 😊 Aside from that, how are you liking that ultra fine nib?

[@TobySketchLoose]

Thanks for the info! Really enjoying the nib ✒️✒️

[@jinimurray4090]

Great !! Very helpful especially to do “people” Please, Toby, could you zoom in more tightly please & use larger /darker for purpose of us being able to see more clearly - thank you. Same with your video on PEOPLE SKETCHES. ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR WORKS OF ART, TOBY -THANKS AGAIN

[@WimVeen]

I did sketch this one too. Gonna do it again, cause I like the scene. Also learned to be not that precise.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Have fun

[@katiewilliams6591]

Another great tutorial Toby, thanks. It really feels as if I could achieve something of a similar nature, you have very much captured an asian place and so helpful to see you draw in the people. Thank you

[@TobySketchLoose]

Many thanks!

[@wajlee]

Great video. Could you explain more about the choice to use watercolor pencil at the beginning as well as you picked the color of pencil to use? Thank you!

[@TobySketchLoose]

I'll explain more in another video

[@pagegraham6866]

I enjoy your videos and am learning so much! I'm pretty new to watercolor. What do you think about fixative, sealer, or any other way of preserving your watercolor when your done? Thanks!

[@TobySketchLoose]

I don't use any of the above, watercolour shouldn't need it

[@rick72035]

Really helpful video.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad it was helpful!

[@6479993104]

Where do you go for reference photos? It's hard to find some more simple ones for learning on.

[@TobySketchLoose]

I really about this in I've if my courses 😀 often also I just use my own photos

[@g.b.7179]

Thanks for this! One question to fountain pens: I bought a Lamy Safari pen. The store told me not to use waterproof ink with it. It would get very soon stucked in the pen and ruins it. I bought a cup of Pelikan writing ink but for painting I'm not happy with it

[@TobySketchLoose]

I use carbon ink or sketch ink in my LAMY. These stores aren't aware of permanent inks designed for fountain pens often.

[@dianawhite4577]

What are the 5 steps? Don’t think you said!

[@TobySketchLoose]

Hi Diana, I outline them as I go along. They're also in the chapters if you look at the timeline ☺️

[@ellf66]

1. simplify. 2. Loose colour. 3. Bold colour. 4. Restructure. 5. Final touches. ;-)

[@starry0202]

How come your squiggly lines look like art and mine look like a five year old drew them? I’m half joking and half serious. 😂

[@TobySketchLoose]

Probably judging yourself harder than me

[@Smokeywolf64]

We’re our own worst critics. That said we should not rule out experience. But we might need to be more mindful on how our mind reacts. Be ok with the happy little accidents and the unplanned design modification. Enjoy the process start small and most important of all have funs
