Urban Sketch - Loose Semi-Abstract Ink and Watercolour Tutorial

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!

This scene is incredibly complicated - so many shadows, people, flashes of light, details, perspective. Everything that's scary to sketch, right?

Well never fear, just simplify! Here we focus on pen techniques that 'suggest' detail, making a scene look like a really intricate sketch, when really it's just a simple collection of lines and shapes. From these lines and shapes evolves something beautiful.

After this we splash on some colours - the exact colours aren't important - what's fun here is the beauty of letting our colours do their thing! We add on a range of complimentary colours, moving them about the page, with plenty of water - and hey presto a beautiful glaze of colour emerges.

At the end we really add some punches of strong colours - bringing out key details and highlighting the figures we've sketched too.

Please leave a commenting letting me know what you think about the colours - is this the kind of sketch you like? Or it is too random to be good?
