SHOWDOWN 👊💥 (EP.1) 1 House 2 Styles | Tight Sketch vs Loose Sketch | WHICH WINS?!

I take a reference photo I found on Pinterest of a beautiful looking house and sketch it in 2 ways, one version which is super tight and neat illustrative style and the second loose and splashy sketchy style.
👉 Which one do you prefer?! Let me know in the comments!
1 = lefty tighty OR 2 = righty loosey (yep, I missed a trick there, should have had them the other way round)!

It is "I think" vs "I feel". Both are fab.

[@Ira.1]

I like the way you described this

[@terranceconley4195]

Love them both but prefer the loose one … and the time needed to create it!

[@lisacapri4837]

I love both of these sketches so much. That said, the looser one just pulls me in more, and I’m sure part of that is the more whimsical nature of the loose one plus the use of the negative space in the foreground. 🎉

[@dxmkrew]

I love the loose sketch. They’re both great, but I think loose sketches are technically more impressive and visually more interesting to look at. Communicating through hints of shape and pops of color without being literal is really hard.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

That’s such a great way to express it, thanks Adrian 🙏

[@leahstanleigh2383]

Both are wonderful but I LOVE the expression in the looser sketch ❤

[@ailing225]

Love the contrast... it’s a powerful teaching tool... honestly I like both for different reasons. I think I would employ precision drawing to record heritage or historical houses but for on location urban sketching, the loose form is definitely more manageable and also a great way to do a travel documentary... thank you for sharing!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

That's such an insightful comment - you're right, a different technique depending on what you're sketching. Something historical where getting the details accurately would be more important vs capturing the energy while you're urban sketching - that's definitely cemented something in my brain by putting it in this way, thank you!!

[@melissamartin5506]

Perfectly said 👍❤️

[@noorisaifi3604]

Both paintings are awesome...but I loved the details of first one....❤️❤️👍👍👍😍😍😍💯👍

[@doglifehub]

I love them both, but number two matches my personality and it's the one I'd frame!

[@GerardDoyle-b9f]

Both are excellent and give the observer/watcher a lot of information and choice of different approaches to the same subject

[@wbcmbythelisha]

Both are really nice, but the loose sketch is my favorite.

[@kathyniemic2977]

Loose style....both are great!

[@davidsherrington59]

Great video. I prefer the looser one. More to my taste. Still like the neater one though 👍👍

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you David! :)

[@sft1095]

My 8 year old prefers the loose sketch!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Awww 😊

[@dcpointer]

Love both. ❤ but 2 is what I would pick.

[@csavoy1688]

I always light the "tight" style better! The loose style is actually much more difficult to pull off. Thank you.

[@jeancavanagh2471]

Love both of them but the loose one wins for me. You are giving me inspiration to have a go. Thank you.

[@dianecharest8365]

It's a tough answer. They both look good.

[@ritaalexander3666]

Both are well done. Hard to pick. I may lean to the loose sketch but I would hang up the tightdketch on my wall.😊

[@joannefk4758]

They are both wonderful, however, I’m leaning to the ‘loose’ as it has more quirky character!

[@jcepri]

I like the one on the left better. Very nice.

[@mementomori_07]

I like the loose sketch, I think the colors pop out more.

[@carolyoung3793]

Thumbs Down? Unbelievable! Please ignore them Ilove your paintings xx

[@atl17isfast]

loose is more fun, i do appreciate the effort on the first. probably good to mix it up from time to time.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you J!

[@prophetkat]

I like both. So maybe something in between? Like the loose one with more details like outline the plants or something or the tight one with some splashes thrown on

[@carmensvideos]

I love them both, but the loose style is more interesting to me.

[@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook]

I like Both , my fav is the right one because sky is interesting

[@milindgulavani3874]

I love the loose one It looks natural

[@HelloStellaFibres]

Loved this! This house is actually located in Hamilton, Ontario Canada (my city!) and I love both styles so much!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Ahhh that's so awesome!! Finally, I know for certain where this house is from, its a beauty! Thanks Lindsay :)

[@biancasime9528]

I think the loose sketch is better because is more abstract and expresive and even noisy, I really like that one although both of them look great

[@bigtmusic5016]

Love both…#2 is my favorite! ❤

[@martyhenshaw7122]

I like them both, but like the loose sketch more. I prefer to paint not so precise.I like to let the paint do the work, I prefer watercolor over the other paints because the way it flows and mixes with other colors. Great job and comparison.

[@katherinegeorgiou8811]

Both are amazing, that’s for sure. But I do prefer the loose one. 👍👍👍

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thanks so much Katherine :)

[@Craftylisa69]

Love the loose. You seemed to enjoy it more. Do what you love x

[@aidynebarnes340]

i love both styles of drawing! i think they could be used at different times but overall i definitely enjoy the looser style!

[@Art-What..]

TSA.. your very talented,to produce two great examples,of a particular style..I guess now do both style's on one house half and half..ha..🤔

[@carlacaldwell1719]

Love, love, love it!!!! I don’t think there should be a thumbs down button. Thumbs up is all that’s needed and comments for constructive criticism. If you don’t like something then stop watching it rather than a random thumbs down which leaves people wondering what they’ve done wrong and unnecessarily knocks their confidence. You inspire me! ❤

[@carlacaldwell1719]

PS. Prefer the loose one when side by side, but still like the other also.

[@maryalgar8779]

I am generally a detail person, so you would think I'd prefer the one on the left, however, I think the one on the right is more interesting, but really I am having trouble choosing one over the other. Both great. Just found your channel -- great art.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you so much Mary - glad you're enjoying the channel!

[@snooterpoops]

They are both great pieces but I prefer the looser one because I feel it captures a bit of character that the first one doesn’t-like there’s a story there to tell and it piques your imagination.

[@jairosanchez2583]

Beautiful, Thank you, Taria's Sketchy Adventures, a big hug from Colombia for you

[@gwynneharries7024]

Love both.

[@sue6002]

Loose sketch! I need to learn that method of painting. Brilliant.

[@daviddavies1574]

Both are very good but I prefer the loose one. It has a certain character and uniqueness about it.

[@_ktbelle_draws_3223]

I know its 2 years later but I love the loosey goosey one on the right! Both amazing

[@BorealLeatherworks]

Definitely the #2 on the right.

[@karinkruger5551]

Loose one on the left!😀

[@WorldWideWebObserver]

Your art is interesting and beautiful!

[@sugarcane9425]

2 for me 😊

[@reedebrown6006]

Love them both and it’s great to be able to paint in both styles. If I had to choose only one, I would probably lean towards the loose one.

[@billacuna3525]

I enjoyed your video. I was glad to hear I was not the only one who douted their artwork. I have been going back and forth between Tight and Lose sketches.

[@wood2be]

Both are great but I prefer the loose approach! Great video! Thanks

[@cecilialadaga2811]

Both of them are beautiful to me!

[@Dizzycow-Tina]

I love them both ..... but my favourite is the loose one xxx

[@kazallen1661]

I like both. I love the left

[@hannahzimmerman8270]

I love both but I think I would go with the loose sketch.

[@inchxinchlifesasynch]

The tight one. 😊

[@maddieb5787]

I think I really like the loose one!! Well done!

[@samantharankinstinamisan5583]

I like both! Too hard to choose just one.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

That's ok, you can choose both :) Ha ha

[@MitziBiney]

Really like both but the one on the left is my favorite. My daughter prefers the one on the right.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thanks Mitzi, glad you both enjoyed the video!

[@derdoc6507]

Both illustrations are superb!

[@robynolfert4779]

I guess I’m the odd one out. I do like both but prefer the tight one...probably because I’d find it more manageable as I really rely on using pencil and eraser to get proportions figured out. I’m still developing my artistic eye for these things. Thanks for sharing!

[@janerobles3194]

Beautiful work. I like them both. If I had to pick one it would be the tighter one. I can picture it framed and hanging on my wall. Love it.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thanks Jane!!

[@jeanmayo4076]

My favorite is the first one! Enjoyable video, thank you!

[@sharonnewton8159]

Love both but prefer the first one.

[@anacristinafonseca8891]

I really prefer the second one... it seems alive

[@debbiewall8057]

I'm a real beginner, and love the loose sketch approach and watching your video spurs me on, I love the effect, thanks

[@ThemildmanneredgamerBlogspot]

I honestly love both styles.

[@ileneenglish2231]

I learned a lot from #1 but like #2 result much more.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you Ilene, thanks for watching :)

[@blackbird7005]

They both have their own charm tbh. I like the fact that you just get on with it as usually a clean page can be quite daunting along with fear of it not working and looking terrible. I don't think it matters one bit that you're not a 'trained artist' as you are learning your skill as you go. I found my Uni Fine Art course useless for training in this respect as we had to do 'exactly' what you are doing now in finding your own way. You can choose to be a loose sketcher/painter or take the more design/architectural option perfectly sketching your vanishing line but the choice is always ours and it's our unique mark making that is recognisable just to us. We'll never get everyone to like our work but that happens whatever style you have so good for you. I think you do great and more than that, you're inspirational to us all with your encouragement and learned tips ;) Loving your vids.

[@jessicamaisonet917]

Both are great but the first one is more my style guess this is why I prefer it. ❤

[@adriennelouw9162]

Love the loose one!

[@rgrgeneral1475]

Amazing love it, thank you for sharing.

[@KellyC77]

I really like both, cant really choose. Both love pieces

[@jordanleighwheatley]

I love them both and I'd love to get comfortable with doing both of these

[@mojasmine8841]

Lovely ! I prefer the first one

[@11pelster]

Love both but gotta go with the loose 😊

[@ninumol7625]

Number 2 , I am looking for more loose sketched videos

[@peterbashford3061]

No 2, every time!

[@dianestedman3828]

I love them both but the left is my favorite!!!!!!! I mean the right %)

[@lifeisart8120]

The loose sketched house is more appealing with the loose background, continuity. The tighter sketch would look better with a tighter background.

[@sandjune2753]

the left one is my favourite

[@A.M.D10]

I love the loose one.

[@duresabih]

Agree with the speed. I do tight sketch house comissions and I feel like I am paying myself so low compared to the time I spend on it.

[@Atowns]

Number 2 sketch, feel like the soul of the picture comes out more in this lose sketch

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you Alexander - great way to put it :)

[@ritabarata6035]

Both are great, but i prefer the second one 👌 really cool

[@durgasarvepalli7164]

Love the loose one..I love all your videos..thank you so much for the videos..

[@xiuyichen8187]

Hi Taria, I just bought both copies of your ebook. I love your work and think you have inspired me and I think I would go into urban and travel sketching as a hobby. Thank you for the inspiration. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️Greetings all the way from Singapore 🇸🇬.

[@custardflux9277]

Your videos have encouraged me to get my sketchbook and watercolours out of storage after twenty years!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Woohoo!! That's fantastic to hear!

[@kidsnkittens]

Love your commentary. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@zgaryhall]

Surprised myself thought I would like the tight one more. But the loose one wins for me interesting

[@seorwulf1049]

I like them both and believe both would be suitable in different applications, if I was to choose then for me it is the tight one as I am more architectural than arty and the accuracy pleases me. But as mentioned I would happily have the loose one hanging on my wall as well! Great work and very inspiring.

[@sdwilliams1986]

Both are awesome 👌

[@zebrasbean2385]

Number 2 , it seems more magical and my imagination runs wild with it

[@nancylarson9023]

This is excellent. I do prefer number 2. Very delightful to watch.

[@cindymissenross2764]

I love both! But the freedom and organic quality achieved in the 2nd really speaks to me. Much more fluid (pun intended) in its form.

[@niamhfoa3291]

Can't decide. I love both of them! 💕

[@hfarms5779]

I like starting with the mop where you lay color accidentally with purpose. It takes years of painting experience to knock out loose, vibrant work.

[@malatighorpade2939]

Nice idea of sketching by ink pens on watercolour background. Like ur style.

[@karolina8255]

The left is pretty, the right is also pretty...😁

[@Ryan-vd7rq]

Both great. Prefer the loose one.

[@Rivionna]

i like #1, its really alot cleaner and just love how it turned out

[@sabines.9988]

the loose one, i prefer
