Urban Sketching in a Toned Sketchbook // Things to Know!

[@annangel4828]

Looks great, Taria! Thanks for the tour. You gave me an inspired idea. I've sketched with urban sketchers in NYC just a couple of times. (I'm a little intimidated) I do have a small toned sketchbook and that makes it more "doable." I'm thinking - bite-sized scenes. Your people sketching is looking good! Thanks for the encouragement from the southern hemisphere. (Love that you included Duncan. ) Cheers.

I would love to tray a toned sketchbook soon. Nice sketches!

This is the best sketchbook you’ve ever shown online! It‘s absolutely adorable ❤ To leave your comfort zone made really the biggest difference. 🤩🤩 I will try to find the toned paper in my studio tomorrow. Thank you so much for inspiring me. 🥳

This is a great sketchbook - I really enjoyed seeing every single spread. You are definitely inspiring me to try some toned paper.

It's kind of funny that you struggled with the toned sketchbook, because you're the one who put me on to them! I LOVE the Nova series. My local Jerry's is getting rid of all theirs. They have large black and grey ones on clearance. If I had the money, I'd buy them all, but as it is, I did pick up a large black one. I already have the tri-tone one. The Nova series handles watercolor surprisingly well, but I mainly use ink, colored pencils, neocolors, acrylic markers -- all kinds of things. I also use gouache in the black sketchbook.

Really enjoying this sketchbook. I bought a grey toned sketchbook, drew in a few pages and then got flummoxed with where to go next. Going to try some of your suggestuons! ❤ thanks!

Never used toned paper. Maybe one of these days I’ll try a toned sketch book. I enjoyed this video.

I'm glad I am not the only one who messes my perspective

Such beautiful sketches , they look so good

I love my Strathmore grey & tan toned sketchbooks. They're wire bound, so I have to be careful with them. I will make my own customized & durable cover, eventually. I am knew to sketchbooks so I wanted something inexpensive to learn in. I do like your S & B nicely bound toned sketchbook. Lots of great tips. I am ordering colored pencils for mine. I am still deciding on acrylic & brush markers.

Are you using any watercolor on toned paper or just markers

[@kathyhackney7950]

I’m getting more into markers because I realized how much faster I can move when using them. Almost no dry time. I love watercolor but for urban sketching.. I might be switching to most watercolor markers. Do you have a fav brand? Winsor newton, albrecht dryer, tombow, ecoline? I have only one by Winsor newton and a bunch of tombows I want to try albrecht durer soon though

Silly question that I should know, what method do you use to best affix the tissue paper, receipts, etc. into the book so that you can draw and paint over them?
