Start urban sketching today

Urban sketching is such a fun way to exercise your sketching muscles and connect with your surroundings. A quick sketch will help you remember so much more than any photo. So whether you are travel sketching or drawing your immediate neighbourhood, you will get so much out of it. Sadly sometimes we can't travel, so when I came across this super photo of Istanbul, Turkey as part of an online sketching challenge, I imagined I was there in the warm and bustling city. I grabbed my pens, paper and colour and thought I would share the process I use when I am relaxed and able to take a bit more time over my drawing. The sketch took 60-70 minutes to complete and in the film I show you step by step how to plan the sketch and realise your idea, how to use water soluble Tombow pens (dual tip brush markers), fineliners and watercolour to capture a view . Of course you can use these techniques anywhere! With photos or real life. This tutorial should be suitable for both beginners and those with some experience in urban sketching, to give you ideas which you can try out and make your own. If you enjoy this, please like and subscribe, which helps my films get shown to more people. Materials: Cartridge paper (heavy drawing paper), Dual tip markers in greys (WHSmith or Tombows), waterproof fineliner pens in various widths (eg Microns, Unipin), watercolours and a brush.

It's all about connecting with the place you are in. But how do you get started? There are lots of tips in this film which should set you on the right track. If you are looking for a master, do check out Ian Fennelly's work. I got the tips about using the brush pens, straight from him! Everyone has a different style and favourite tools, so you can learn lots from each other. There is no one right or wrong way. Urban Sketching is reportage - it's drawing or painting on location in the cities, towns, or villages that you live in and travel to. You are capturing a moment in time in a unique way. I saw this lovely quote from Roisin Cure "The essence of an urban sketch is that its primary function is not to be beautiful, but to capture what it feels like to be human. This could be in a man-made building, the hand of man on the landscape, or human beings in action, wherever they are or whatever they are doing." If you want to have a go at this scene, I have put a picture on the community tab on this channel. I would love to see what you do. Don't forget I run a Facebook group which is a great place to meet other artists, get tips and to share your work.

Give it a go and you will see the world in a different light. Of course going out sketching on your own can be intimidating. So maybe sitting in a coffee shop is a good place to start and having your back to a wall so no one can look over your shoulder, also helps! Most people are just impressed you are doing it. If they are a painter, they will be supportive and if they aren't an artist, well they will wish they were. So try not to care what people think! There are urban sketch groups around the world, usually organised through Facebook, so there's safety in numbers and perhaps you could go out with them - just search your local area. #lizchaderton #urbansketching #lineandwash
