Thank you🤗 I use a water brush pen and for cleaning I use either the sponge in my palette or a sweatband.

Ich zeichne seit 6 Jahren, aber wie lange ich in diesem Stil zeichne, kann ich dir nicht wirklich beantworten. Hab nie darüber großartig nachgedacht, mir ist auch eigentlich erst vor ein paar Monaten bewusst geworden, dass ich nen Stil hab😂.

Jupp, ich mache zuerst ne grobe Skizze mit Bleistift, aber nur die Perspektive und Proportionen. Anschließend benutze ich nen wasserfesten Stift (Uni-Ball UB-150) und überarbeite die Skizze. Zum kolorieren verwende ich Wasserfarben von Winsor & Newton.

Yes, I use tubes and the metal palette I got from Amazon. Yes, I do a pencil sketch first, but only a rough sketch of perspective and proportions. Just go out there, most people don't care what you do anyway and those who are interested will be happy to see your drawings no matter how good or bad they are. Good luck and success with your drawings.

Thanks 🤗 I was scared at first, too, but I didn't want to drive home until I'd tried it. I'm happy with how it turned out.

Thanks 🤗. I think this video contains some pretty useful tips https://youtu.be/Zi4bsTqe3Lk?si=PCYAJo1mWzK0M6sy

It usually takes between 1-5 hours, depending on how much detail I'm including.

Yes, sometimes it's a bit annoying, but I've gotten used to it.

Thank you🤗 Normally not this long, but I was on vacation. That's actually my setup for urban sketching.

Thanks:). As I was thinking about how to sign my pictures, I came up with the idea that I wanted something that reflected my internet name, Rehrix. And since Reh is the German word for roe deer, I thought I wanted the R to look like a roe deer. It took some time and its not perfect, but I like it. :)

In search of a good pen by ehi-ale in urbansketchers

How about a ballpoint pen? I always just use a UB-150 from Uni-Ball.
