I recently broke my hand, just a few weeks after I started drawing. Now I can't draw precisely, but I learned from you that it is perfectly fine to sketch very loosely and embrace "mistakes" like wobbly lines or colours moving out of their intended boundaries. Thanks for this important lesson!
I’d say you are renowned and you’ve definitely inspired many people to just get on and sketch, including me. Wobbly lines and no pressure for perfection. 😁
Wow, what an interesting video and concept today! Quite fascinating indeed. Love your style and philosophies. The AI got a few things right and maybe some of your essence but there is only one Toby Urban Sketch ✍️! And renown! Thanks as always and cheers from Minnesota!
There will always be an outlet for art in our sketchbooks. AI can never take that from us; it’s an urge that we get and need to vent and only picking up a brush and a piece of paper will vent that urge. 😊
@@TobySketchLoose I'm coming in from a very different direction. I'm designing a card-based RPG and as such, it has a TON of art to do. I started with AI art for placeholders (but decided it should be placeholder only), then I started commissioning pieces from Fiverr, but still, none of it matched what I really wanted (and I had spent a solid chunk of money). I tried my hand at a single character card and then my wife bought me an iPad with Procreate on it. From watching YOUR videos, I have decided to draw ALL the art over in a loose watercolor urban sketch style. I just want to say, that you've given me the confidence to actually just do it and I'm so happy! Thank you for your inspiration and the permission to just do it. Yay!
Hi, I’m a new subscriber and I’m having great fun watching some of your videos ! I love your art style and the way you explain things so clearly. Thanks.
This was an interesting video. I enjoyed when you showed the watercolour techniques. I had noticed that when you paint you get a very different effect to many other water colour artists I follow. Nice to see how that is achieved.
The answer I got "Toby Urban Sketch is a hypothetical artist, and there isn't specific information about his sketching technique as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. However, assuming Toby Urban Sketch specializes in urban sketching, which typically involves drawing and painting cities, towns, and villages, here are some general tips to help you sketch in the urban style:"
I don't think you can follow your style without actually watching your videos. A description isn't enough. I also noticed you have a Windsor and newton 25 percent cotton watercolour pad. Is it any good. Does the 25 percent cotton make any difference?
In the video you deduct that chatgpt is "following" you. This is not the case. There is your website which contains a lot of text about your art that chatgpt may have ingested. And all of your videos have an automatically generated transcript - just press the Breadcrumps right of the thanks button. This text may also be a source of your own words that the gpt model may have ingested upon training.
Copying you Toby?!?!, that’s impressive!!!. You are as unique as crosshatching is to stippling!. I very much enjoyed this video, it gets us closer to understanding that your main interest is to enjoy yourself. By the way, you have very long fingers Toby!. 🫣

Ah so sorry to hear, wishing you a speedy recovery!!

thank you :D lovely to hear!

Haha thank you - and thank you for your very generous 'Super' as well - hugely appreciated. Funds my caffeine problem y'no ;)
I think you are so very artistic! Bold and unique. Also inspiring.
Thank you!!

I agree 💯

@@micahneveu4633 that's incredible, what a project to take on! Good luck 🤞🍀
Well at the end of the day, AI cant draw a human heart and hand. I have surely learnt alot from you Toby and have been inspired. Thank you

Hi Liz, pleasure to have you aboard
I totally agree with the conclusion. You’re my number one inspiration in combination with my own little interpretation. Thank you ever so much!
Thank you for a lovely comment!
Great video - glad you expanded on the statement! Love your style & have learned a lot from you. Thank you for your time & talents 🙏 19:30
My pleasure Linda
This was an interesting video. I enjoyed when you showed the watercolour techniques.

thanks!! glad it was interesting :)
Very interesting. I can't recall you ever using an eraser. Loved both the colour demonstrations. Thanks again.
I think I do have an eraser... Somewhere
Great video! Thanks very much
Pleasure
Definitely inspired me to give it a go and allow my own style to develop 👍

haha yes indeed!
Great!
Wow, this was so interesting, lots of fundamental tips in a nutshell! What brush did you use in the video?
It's a Jackson's mop - check out urbansketch.co.uk/supplies - listed up there 🙏
You're underselling yourself Toby - 31,000 followers makes you fairly renowned - I bet Picasso didn't have that many ;-)
I've got a big family though, probably cuts it down by at least half of those followers 😂
So awesome!
:)
I look your sketches I have to trace to paint could only dream to draw accurately
It just takes a little time, I personally don't have a problem with anyone tracing to paint.
I don't think you can follow your style without actually watching your videos. A description isn't enough. I also noticed you have a Windsor and newton 25 percent cotton watercolour pad. Is it any good. Does the 25 percent cotton make any difference?
Cotton is more absorbant - realistically, for this style, no it doesn't make much differnece.

Very true, thanks for the correction
Thanks!
Thanks so much, as I said in response to your other comment it's hugely appreciated!
How do you go about asking chat gpt something?
Via an interfacing app - I use IFTTT (which also automates some of my social media)
@TobySketchLoose - Artist and Urban Sketcher thank you for your prompt reply Toby 😊 All very intriguing...🤔😳😃

I meant impossible (hate spellcheck) 🤬
Hehe thanks 🙏👍
You don’t use a pencil, do you?
Rarely, sometimes for dogs people etc
@@TobySketchLoose Thanks. It’s just that ChatGPT said that you used pencil.
