What am I missing?… I thought sketching is any sketch you make, from a photograph, a YT video or whatevs. Urban sketching is what you make on location…. It’s like indoor volleyball and beach volleyball. Same thing but different. One is not any less than the other. The players aren’t any less fit, strong or capable. They’re both great athletes. Same with sketching. There’s those that intentionally do it from a live scene; and they wanted a name. Everyone else sketches. Doesn’t make either person less talented, it just says where you choose to execute your talent. I practice both. Stuff I do on location is an urban sketch, stuff I do at home is a sketch. 😊 😂 maybe I got it wrong? Are building sketches urban sketching? Because I see urban sketchers artwork being food, people and places…..where did I go wrong??

Not to mention, the recap so many people don’t do is super helpful for me.

I really appreciate how you break it down! Thank you for your generous and specific teaching.

A super interesting method! Thanks for showing this. I’m new to urban sketching and was wondering if there were different ways to colour them with alcohol markers. 🎉

Just discovered your channel, love the vibe! New subscriber.

Can we please please please get a video on how to draw on the go?!?!? (Cars, buses…. I can’t even draw on my knees on the couch!) 🙈

I love this, mostly for the formatted way you explained your process. The finished piece was fresh, original and yet white daring, thank you Karran 😊

For years: I have been making illustrations based on photographs and using references to draw from.... *I was a copy machine* Now 2023/ 2024 Because of you and jess Karp and Martin (RUclipsr from Austria)..... Now I am *finally making original artwork* based on: real life or my imagination. & I know use a regular pen to start drawing. No more _3b_ pencils. Plus - thanks to you & *thumbnail technique* is amazing (make a fast one minute sketch. If that one minute sketch is decent...then make the finished artwork) Sweet blessings Mr p decker.

Excellent artwork. Plus your using a pen.

Brilliant. Drawing from real life. This is original. This is excellent. Keep sharing.

*Your videos are fantastic* . You have helped me make original artwork. Plus the *importance* of * first making thumbnails* and then making the final peice of original illustrations. Thank you

✌❤👍

You've nailed this for me. Two years in therapy dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, finally getting an ADHD diagnosis, and you've got it. I'm sending your video to my therapist because this is the core of everything I've been working on. Thanks for sharing this, and your dog is adorable!

Thanks for Sharing 🙏

Thanks! I thought this was a very useful tip! Going to start thumbnails starting today! Thanks!

Fantastic clear information. Especially *first making thumbnails* then once your happy - make your own original artwork. Brilliant video.

Really enjoyed your video tonight and learned more techniques 👏🏻👏🏻 thank you. 🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦Oakville

I started taking a pen & ink drawing class again, 2 weeks ago. Don’t like the messy India ink, a bit of spillage ,etc, so will buy the technical pens instead, like I used years ago when I did pen & ink & watercolours. My interest is in architecture- buildings,old 😂farm houses, stone fences, etc. I actually found some pictures that I had taken with a wide angle lens of the downtown of Collingwood with the great intention of drawing them! That was 33 yrs ago. I intend to start and use those pictures and use your thumbnails which I think is a great idea.! Your video has given me hope and enthusiasm again , even now at 75! From Oakville . Cheers! 🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦

Agree on using photos. All my drawings are from them. Unfortunately you do not have all these amazing historic buildings in South Africa to sketch. So I just use Pinterest and find amazing building there.

Loved this video! Except for repetitive music; had to mute & read captions... but your finished sketch is AMAZING! Subscribed

Lovely❤❤❤ Thanks for tips!😊

Thumbnails? 😮😮😮 good idea!

hi Karran, question: in the picture around the 55th min, what was the decision process that make you add the patch of black at the left side? I have been learning so much from your videos, and it has kicked me into action. thanks so much

Agree with you 100%

Happy to find your tutorial! Your thumbnail idea is fantastic.

This is super useful, esp about the use of acrylic (white) for highlights. big thanks.

this video made want to buy a ticket somewhere beautiful and sketch! i've only tried sketching on trips a couple of times, only on a samsung tablet, it's quite heavy. love your minimal kit for the trip :) it's gonna be an amazing sketchbook when it's filled!

amazing tips!!! i really really liked the section about composition because i find it very hard. the "find your borders" advice is simple, genius, and i've never heard it phrased this way before :) also thank you for illustrations of your points, it really helps!!

Firstly - your making an original drawing from real life - fantastic. Your showing us viewers _how_ .... The framing / composition And your sharing how to illustrate quickly and accurately Brilliant information. Great video. *Thank you* very much for all the wonderful suggestions on drawing and making *ORIGINAL genuine artwork* P.s- noticed the doggy happy during the cricket match awww :)

Great tutorial , how one can money with urban sketching . Please make video on that

Happy spring 2024. *Great information* on drawing and sketching _outside_ The _doodle doggy_ is *Fab* & Well done on sketching outside winery storage area. Excellent penmanship. *Gotta Keep practicing* Keep sharing and making wonderful artwork Everyone. :)

The gatekeeping of urban sketching groups has been enough of a turnoff for me to decline joining. I'm sure sketching on location is great for some people, but if I've been to a place dozens of times and don't feel like spending time in traffic getting there, I'm perfectly happy creating my urban sketch at home from a photo I've taken of said place before.

Oh ! Que j' ai aimé votre vidéo .J' ai 77 ans et je découvre que j' aimerais essayer une scène urbaine. Merci pour de partager votre technique avec nous . BYE, du Québec.♥♥🎨

you’re calling me out too hard pls stop I’m begging 😭😭😭

Great video. fantastic coffee/ latte making (even the leaf is Fab) The doodle doggy is excellent. & Yes - make original artwork and just.. *doooh ate* (do it) as _Tony Burton says to Rocky Balboa_ Whilst taking on a formidable Russian opponent. ... Do it! Keep sharing .

Thank you for this realistic advice for beginners. I have ADHD, which means I have to expend a lot more mental energy to filter out the sensory chaos that comes along with sketching in a busy cafe or on a bustling street. I've tried this as a beginner sketch artist and things tend to go pretty poorly because all my mental energy is going to neutralize the sensory chaos rather than figure out my process. Getting my process down at home with photos means I'll be able to step into an energetic scene and sketch almost from muscle memory. Thanks for reaffirming that this is OK.
