Draw Tip Tuesdays - How I Drew This Bike Without Drawing It

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! Want to learn a fun and surprising way to draw a tricky subject? In this episode of Draw Tip Tuesday, I show you how to draw a bicycle by focusing on the spaces around it rather than the bike itself. It’s a great technique to help you see differently and improve your drawing accuracy. You'll learn: - How to use negative space to build a sketch - Why this method helps trick your brain or your inner critic - Tips to keep an eye on the proportions - How to make simple color choices that add character without overcomplicating your sketch At the end, I give you a creative assignment so you can try this approach yourself. All you need is a photo with open shapes, like a chair, ladder, or bike. The drawing I make in this video today, is based on a photo I took during a workshop in Italy, which brings back lovely memories. And if you'd like to make new creative memories yourself, join me in Paris for a sketching adventure: https://www.originalimpulse.com/paris-sketchbook/ Materials used in this video: -Handbook journal 8.25" x 5.5" -Pentel Pocket Brushpen (with waterproof ink cartridge that comes with the pen) -Daniel Smith Watercolors -Derwent Inktense black pencil (watersoluble) BOOK Get a copy of my book "Life is better when you draw it": https://www.koosjekoene.com/book JOIN ME ON PATREON Help me keep making these videos weekly for free.
