Thanks for tuning in to watch my urban sketching, ink and watercolour tutorial! Don't forget to check out my channel where I have hundreds of different urban sketch tutorials, as well as other watercolour and ink sketching guides for everyone from beginners to more advanced!

When I reach my goal I'll upgrade my sketching tutorials with a new camera and use my old camera to give an extra view point in my videos! Perhaps my face, perhaps my watercolour palette, or some close ups of my process!

Today's sketch is all about the negative space! And I'd love your opinion - is this enough, too much or just right?

Learning how to use negative space in your urbansketching is really important, it speeds things up - but also it adds drama, simplicity and makes your end images so much more effective. If you're a beginner in urban sketching then start to learn how to use negative space as soon as you can and you'll see your art sky rocket in quality and interest.

Whatever your answer, I'm sure there will be a range of opinions, and they're all valid. And that is what makes art and sketching so brilliant and inclusive.

The reason I love negative space is it's a simple technique for simplifying scenes, whilst make them punchy and interesting.

It isn't as easy as not drawing something, you actually need some skill and confidence to pick the right area, the right amount and the right shapes to make negative space effective.

In this easy sketch tutorial I'll talk you through the decisions I make, and how I choose where to add colour, where to add hatching and where to leave completely blank.
