When I reach my goal I'll upgrade my sketching tutorials with a new camera and use my old camera to give an extra view point in my videos! Perhaps my face, perhaps my watercolour palette, or some close ups of my process!
Sketching people, a wonderful hobby! And a scary one perhaps.
Our eyes are very good at picking up when a person isn't quite right, we're wired for this, it's what we're socially evolved to do.
But in art we're trying to do something different - we're trying to express not just the person, but also ourselves and our personality. We want fun, we want relaxation and we want to put ourselves on the page with our ink and pen sketching.
In this tutorial I'll show you a lovely technique to easily capture a portrait - or in this case TWO portraits!
I'll use a continuous line drawing to capture the face, talking about how to build up details and facial features. Using 'anchors' to make it look that much better.
We'll move on to a light wash of water, then a bold brush pen - this is where we get to pick the shapes that are working, simplify things, and provide easy and simple shadows.
Finally, the background, a nice warm ink wash - here we'll make things pop, using wet and dry ink sketching to produce a range of tones.
These kind of techniques are great for getting out and about urban sketching, or drawing or painting portraits at home.
The techniques are simple, great for beginners, but also important fundamentals of drawing and sketching to build on if your building your own style!
