Another important element of the cityscape is street signs. And although these objects are flat, they exist in perspective. We will look at how to draw them so that they become the decoration of our sketches.

This is the beginning of a new block dedicated to the elements of the cityscape. We will start with street lamps, and see what techniques we can use to transfer them into our sketchbooks.

We combine graphic design with watercolor - adding color will take our graphic sketches to a completely different level.

Let's try to use different textures created exclusively by lines in one drawing: how to create a fantastic landscape using graphic elements.

Lines are the most important tool for sketching. Today we will try to create different textures using only lines and simple shapes - no tone. This will add charm to our sketches...

We will combine two different styles in one project, and we will call it "polaroid pictures". This simple technique will greatly diversify the pages of your sketchbook...

We continue experimenting with Hot Pressed blocks. This time we will not only combine simple and colored pencils, but also work on interesting visual effects.

Today we will find out what features and benefits we will get if we sketch on Hot Pressed paper. And at the same time we will try to combine two different materials in one artwork...

Let's stay in sunny Tuscany for a while longer. Wonderful old wine bottles lined up next to a wall covered with grapes... how can you pass by such beauty? A quick watercolor sketch right on the old mill.

Sketch in Plein Air in Tuscany. We will use watercolors and continue to explore negative space to convey the amazing view and wonderful sunshine in the old mill garden.

Negative space is the most important tool for drawing on white paper. Actually, this is the only tool. The same as in watercolor. Using a simple example, we will figure out how to work with it.

These simple exercises will help you understand how to construct three-dimensional space in your sketches. Not to copy reality, but to construct it. Understanding space is a very important element of analytical drawing.

Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese roofs are not an easy subject to sketch. To correctly draw such a roof, you need to understand how the structure works. That's what we're going to do.

How to reproduce not one, but many objects on a sheet of paper and not get lost in space? How to mark a sheet to follow proportions? A little exercise with a set of glassware.

A very simple item on your table. Well, at least on my table... But how to build a cylinder correctly, place accents and make it look understandable despite the huge number of nuances that, in fact, make the picture attractive?

We're going to a cozy beach, but instead of just sunbathing, we'll take a marker, watercolor, and figure out how to quickly transfer a piece of paradise to paper.

In this episode we will make a very quick sketch of the sea - exactly as we would do it while sitting on the shore on vacation.

We will find out which techniques can be used to create waves quickly and convincingly. It turns out that this incredibly complex object can be quite simply transferred to paper - if you choose the right key.

One of the most difficult objects to draw is cars. Here we will not only draw an old rusty truck (an excellent reference), but also look at the basic rules for drawing cars in space.

How to turn a complex still life on your dining table into a fun sketch? This is the best exercise before breakfast. But you need to be quick, otherwise the food will just get cold...

We complicate our sketches by adding color using watercolors. And at the same time we consider the differences between the two styles: what effect does a marker or an ink pen give?

We are starting to learn Cartoon Style - the principles and rules of this style, even if you are not going to follow it literally, can bring a lot of interesting and delicious elements to your usual style.

We'll look at how to achieve a fisheye effect - this perspective can create amazing dynamic effects in your sketches.

The next trick, without which it is impossible to draw convincing arches, aqueducts and even semicircular windows, is how to mark oval and round shapes in perspective. Understanding how circles are distorted in perspective will allow you to create realistic sketches of arches.

Perspective is a very complex but incredibly interesting tool for constructing space. However, sketching requires an understanding of basic laws rather than an in-depth knowledge of perspective. And most importantly - some simple practical tricks. This is where we begin our study of perspective in sketches.

We continue to study the construction of figures from complex angles. As always, our job is to find a simple solution to a complex problem. That's the idea behind sketches, isn't it?

We will find out how to easily and simply build a head in a complex angle and position. This simple trick will make your artwork amazingly simple.

We will make a watercolor sketch while on a yacht - it would be a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity. Marina in Lisbon, a small pitching and a very beautiful view.

The most important secret that you should know if you like to sketch people. I'll tell you what you definitely need to pay attention to in order to make a convincing sketch. And what you can simply ignore.

Let's return to the sketches of people on the street. This time we combine ink and watercolor to achieve a more vibrant effect and add a little color to our sketches. This is one of my favorite techniques.
