Line Work and Composition Tips to Avoid Boring 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!

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 the biggest learning point I remember from when I first set out on my drawing journey. And by using this simple compositional trick it my drawings and sketches I can see a huge difference - the same scene, still life, portrait or whatever else can go from boring to fascinating.

And all it takes is a little planning, or a little bit of artistic licence.

And what is this trick? Well it's honestly really simple, really easy, and you'll either kick yourself that you've not worked it out already OR you'll already be doing it yourself.

It's all about relationships, how you position objects in your scene - and this counts for still life sketches and drawings, just as much for how you position people on a street you are urban sketching, or the angle of reference photo you use for the grandest of oil paintings.
