Sometimes size is important. It takes time and serious work to draw a window or door in a cityscape on a large piece of paper. However, if your sketch is no bigger than a phone, sometimes one stroke is enough...

Usually "nocturnes", that is, the image of a night scene is the lot of serious painting. But today we will make a quick sketch - no more than 20 minutes - of a night street. The thing is that for this work we need to fundamentally change the order of stages...

We have already mastered sketches in one color, and even in two. Today we will add a third color. No-no, it's not about Primary Colors at all. We will choose our colors based on a completely different idea...

The best way to go into cold water is to do it from a running start. In this issue, I will tell you how to overcome the fear of starting work and how to create lively and really spontaneous sketches.

Of course, we often sketch in one color. Sometimes black and white, sometimes sepia.. Today we'll see how to work in two colors. What colors to choose and how to build a project correctly...

It is a very unusual combination. But if you choose the right style, then your sketches will be very lively and spectacular. The texture of the oil pastel combined with the hard line of the marker is the perfect balance.

Dry ink is not the most common sketching material. However, it has an amazing feature - it gives an even tone. You can learn to use it right! That's what we will do today.

Two great materials together. All the lightness of watercolor is emphasized by the graphic feel and rigor of pencils. You just need to use them correctly...

This is no longer a traditional approach to sketching, but rather something completely different. This approach allows you to create very lively and unexpected sketches using only watercolor. And one more thing... This is the anniversary, 30th issue, and I'm glad that in it we return to watercolor.

Let's take a few steps back and go back to the roots - to the traditional watercolor sketch. This is important because this course will be a foundational starting point for future watercolor courses. So, let's grasp the methodology of the traditional sketch.

An image can be assembled from different elements - spots, lines, colors... Today we will experiment on how to assemble an image from lines and dashes. That is, from what we usually call "visual noise".

We continue to study perspective and combine our knowledge of construction with watercolor. In addition, we will learn how to gracefully convey all the tasty details in the cityscape. For this we will go to France!

Perspective is incredibly important for urban sketches. This time we will look at the most interesting kind of perspective, which is very rarely used, but turns our sketches into very dynamic drawings. We are talking about a perspective with three vanishing points.

The final issue in the block of tutorials dedicated to the human figure sketches. This time we are focusing on how to work with a group of people and learn how to combine shapes into one big mass.

I hope you have reviewed the previous three editions of Human Sketching. Today I will introduce you to my favorite style that I often use in sketches. In essence, we will combine all the rules and techniques learned so far in a single style.

Any sketch is always a simplification of the subject. The ability to highlight the main thing and not waste time on details is paramount for any sketch. How do you apply these principles to a human figure and make a really quick sketch? That's what we're going to do in this video.

We will learn the methodology of sketching with a marker or ink pen. Here is the twist: for the first time we will turn not to a singular figure, but to a group of people - and there are rules and tricks to follow here.

By popular demand, we are launching a series of lessons dedicated to sketching the human figure. We will use different techniques and approaches. This time we will do a classic watercolor sketch.

Today we explore my favorite style - a combination of dynamic watercolor and ink pen accents. Most importantly, I will explain you the logic behind building sketches in a similar style.

Symmetry is an incredibly important skill to master. The ability to correctly build symmetrical objects will come in handy for a huge number of subjects. Today I will show you simple tricks that - I'm sure - will be very useful to you.

Art Graph's amazing water-soluble graphite is a completely unique product on the market, originally from Portugal. I'll be happy to show you some of its features. I am quite sure that you will just fall in love with this material!
