Urban Sketching Series - simplify the ink lines and colour- make simplification a habit

[@arlenepadden1243]

I love this way of sketching and the music is always perfect. I also have a collection of Escoda brushes along with other brands all of which I love. I watch your videos, pause and practice along with you. Very helpful in fine tuning my visuals. I love your advice about keeping it simple even through the colour. I use a Fuda nib also, I find it's line versatility a huge benefit with this type of sketching.

[@colourartz]

Sorry for the late reply, you are absolutely right, this nib is perfect for this style of sketching. I also really enjoy the rich variety of lines, thank you for your comment.

I really admire your spare use of colours, your less-is-more approach, and above all that you know when you’re done. :)

Este video llegó justo en el momento en el que estoy en este tema de la perspectiva y puntos de fuga, un curso de acuarela arquitectónico que estoy haciendo y este es un buen ejemplo, muy hermoso, me he subscrito al canal , gracias por compartir

[@colourartz]

Thank you very much!

Beautiful loose strokes!!!
I think you are using a Fude type pen. I watched your video several times, including slow motion.
1) How do you change the thickness of the lines without twisting the pen in a different angle?
2) What brand and model is the pen?
Thank you for inspiring me to draw and paint!!!

[@colourartz]

Thank you very much ! 😄 My pen is Duke D2 Fude Nib Fountain Pen.The ink line can be drawn by changing the pressure of the pen tip and the angle between the pen tip and the paper surface.

[@colourartz]

[@JustinPunio]

Sorry for the well used question, but what fountain pen nib is that? Cheers!

[@colourartz]

It’s Duke Fude Nib Fountain Pen.

[@pamkarnes5171]

Thank you for adding your focal point and perspective lines in sketch. Focal points are confusing for me.

[@colourartz]

You are welcome !

[@kimberleesublett]

Wonderful demonstration. Thank you. Do you mind me asking what kind of ink you use in the Sailor Fountain pen. Is it water proof or if not how do you add the color without the ink spreading all over?

[@colourartz]

You are very welcome, I use India waterproof ink and Duke Fude nib fountain pen.

[@noelvillegas5357]
