SKETCHING SHADOWS for Beginners - 3 Simple Techniques for Quick Effective Sketches

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!

If you'd like to support my channel you can buy me a 'Coffee' on KoFi - ko-fi.com/tobyurbansketch
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!

Shadows are the key to defining shape and volume of objects - but can also be after thoughts in our sketching process as we get caught up in the fun of the detail and energy of the scene.

In this easy sketching video I'll walk you through my three most commonly used techniques for creating shadows in my sketches and urban sketching.

These techniques aren't rocket science, by any means, but sometimes I find laying out these concepts clearly can show just how simple they are and get you thinking, as you're sketching, in more detail about which process you would most like to use.

Within each hint/tip for the techniques, I'll talk you through several variations you can use, for example different methods for hatching, different types of pen or watercolour you might use.

By the end I hope you'll have some more confidence to go out, grab those shadows in your drawings, sketches and urban sketches, and take them to the next level!
