Draw Tip Tuesdays - Urban Sketching Drawing Date

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! Let's go urban sketching by drawing on location. Join me as I am drawing a medieval city wall gate in Amersfoort, my hometown. I took a photo every two minutes during the 25-minute process, because I think it will be helpful to see how I moved around on the paper, what kind of decisions I took, and you'll see the drawing grow. From initial lines to shadows, contrast, and a splash of color. Now, it's your turn! Your assignment for the week: go on a drawing date with yourself. It doesn't have to be extravagant—just grab your sketchbook and pen. Make sure it's in your bag. If you're going to the supermarket, take an extra 5 minutes to draw on the corner of the shop, or in the parking lot... well, you'll figure it out. Sketch your surroundings!
