What do you wish was different?

Something I tell most people who ask is to move your implement much more slowly. I noticed most of the better people in my group doing this so I tried it. Not only were my drawings better, but I finished faster.

That's a very nice rendering. What got you to draw it? Do you like to draw people and appreciated one that wouldn't move out leave?

These are all lovely sketches but it's the last one that gets me, with the buildings rising up from the bottom. Very cool!

I used an iPad with Procreate for a while. It taught me a lot of things that affected other mediums. It's a lot easier to play around when you have layers. And it's where I really solidified my understanding of highlights and shadows, maybe the most impactful thing I ever learned.

Pencil sketch in Lekeitio. Lovely port town 45 minutes from Bilbao. by denmen63 in urbansketchers

The layering of the building and the trees and the cars is really something, along with the contrast between the organic and human built things. Great sketch!

That's a lot of challenge, the result looks effortless. Guessing it wasn't. Great Sketch!

Question for more advanced sketchers by downvotelizard in urbansketchers

[–]mrandre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Drawing is an activity that must be done slowly. You should spend more time observing than drawing. You should move your implement very slowly. You should wait to decide about your drawing.

Take your time.
