TUTORIAL FOR THIS WEEK:  Urban Sketching - Building with people

I hope you are all going well this week and a big welcome to all our new members!

I planned to create a tutorial all about how to sketch plants and trees this week but after receiving a few requests for topics to be covered in the tutorial, I have decided it needed a bit more time and care to work it all out. I might make the plants tutorial exclusively for Patreon as a detailed fundamentals tutorial so stay tuned!🌲

Please vote below for your favourite urban sketching reference! I’ve edited in some people into all these scenes so you can practice adding people. If you have anything you’d like me to talk about, please make a comment below and let me know 👍🏼. 

WHAT'S COMING UP:

Week Starting 12th February: People Sketching

Week Starting 19th February: Portrait Sketching

Although the most challenging, I think the first scene would be the best teaching device for all the perspective in it. I like number two better, but I’m trying to be a big girl about this and do what’s best for me!

Joni K

I picked #3, and I hope you paint this one. I want to see what you’d do with the mostly white facade with no shadows that I can see… And I like the lady on the bike.

Mary L Doty

I have chosen #1 because of the buildings interesting perspective. They are all really nice scenes.

Karen

#1 is the most challenging but I’m more likely to see an example like #3. Plus it has a scooter and a bike. Will you keep all those buildings going down the street on the right?

Lorna Graham

I’m choosing #1 but #2 is my favourite. No particular reason for my choice. I find all buildings a challenge but enjoy sketching them. Looking forward to it.

Marie Cornelis

bonjour à tous, j'ai une nette préférence pour le 1 Merci Scottie de nous faire si bien avancer!!! et pour ta bienveillance!

Mareike Biggam

Very difficult choice😄, I like all three, I voted for number 1, but I really like number 3 as well.

Wendy Rowe

I voted 1 but as a newbie think this may be quite difficult. Love all three especially the scooter and cycle rider in 3.

Deborah Rifkin

I chose #1 because there are more people in different poses, a more challenging two-point perspective, and I'm also interested to see how you simplify this complex scene. Any of the three would be great, tho. Thanks!

Teresa Collard

I voted for number3. It seemed a bit more straightforward for a new member like me.

Stacey Balduf

1 or 2 perspective is more interesting

CathV

I like #2 because of the angle and the way the people are sitting, but mostly because the sign says pastries, confectionary, and ice-cream...

Jodi Dawson

They all look like great subjects- I chose the 2pt perspective. can we know the locations (city /country)
