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!

This is a sketch of a busy street in Cambridge - it's busy not just in the people and cyclists walking and pedalling around, but also because of the perspective, the slope of the hill, the up and down nature of the buildings, and all the different colours and styles of houses and buildings going on.

So, how can we make this relaxing to sketch?

Well, there is, of course, an easy way!

We will start off by considering shapes and outlines - but unlike normal we won't actually be starting with sketching shapes!

I'll talk you through exactly why in this tutorial, but suffice to say for now there are good reasons in this sketch.

Shapes are, of course, a fundamental way to make sketching easier, and something that beginners and the most advanced sketchers in the world all practice and need to master. But sometimes (like in this photo) it can be easier to start somewhere else, and leave the shapes for a few minutes!

So, why don't you join me for this step-by-step tutorial to get this alive and exciting feeling urbansketch, using simple techniques and basic principles that we can apply to all sorts of sketches in the future!
