Draw a few thumbnails and try to find an original composition for your subject. Here are a few ideas that I use to make mundane sketches more exciting – they might work for you too.
Ski easy draw how to#
How to make a mundane sketch more exciting A crazy colour experiment, just drawing the view from my parked car. I played with line, values and composition. A string of parked cars drawn in pen while waiting for my daughter to come out of school. Quick value study from the ski slope (made of artificial brushes), made while waiting for my daughter (again!). You’ll soon find beauty in the most ordinary and familiar settings and develop a sense of mindfulness and wonder.
When you sketch, you need to really look at and study your subject and you’ll notice details you’ve never seen before. Here I experimented with various materials: watercolours, pastels, pen – look how much fun I had with the background!! A connected life through drawingĭrawing my world seems to give me a deeper connection with my environment. A cafe sketch in mixed media – trying out pastel sticks. I just pulled up outside and sketched it from the car. ‘The Lodge’ Savile Park Moor Halifax – This is a local landmark. It also gives me ‘Spiritual’ benefits.īut there’s more to it. It means I can sharpen my drawing and painting skills and experiment with new techniques and materials all the time -so when I go on a special trip, I am ready for all the landmarks. I just draw whatever is in front of me and let my pen take me wherever it wants, listening to ideas and inspiration as I sketch. Most of the time it is not about inspiration. My neighbourhood, my house, my family, the view out of my window, what I can see from my parked car. I get most of my sketch ideas from my everyday life. If you just draw when you are on holiday, you won’t get enough practice to really improve your skills. You see, holidays are few and far between and to draw from life you need plenty of practice. But please don’t wait to see a famous landmark to draw – draw what’s around you NOW too! Sat on the bed drawing our hotel room – I experimented with different coloured line Sketch ideas are everywhere I agree that travelling is an ideal opportunity to open your sketch book. You said you’d like to sketch more but you are not sure what to draw, so you’re waiting for a special trip that will give you lots of sketch ideas.
