How does this channel only have 15k subscribers? Criminal. As a beginner with crippling anxiety for just setting pen to paper your videos have quickened my confidence. Solid, practical advise and a diverse pool of instruction and inspiration. Loose, relaxed sketching ftw. Because of you I finally said screw it and started scribbling on a post it at work. Cheers and thanks!
That anxiety is the biggest barrier to becoming the artist you want to be. I don't know what it is with art that we think we should just be able to do it without the thousands of hours of work that is actually required, but so many of us battle with it. I think, when we're kids, we all draw at the same level so it's fun and we can show our drawings to each other and we're super supportive. But at some point, our friend keeps drawing but we do other things. When we come back to drawing, our friend's level has increased where ours hasn't and we're ashamed or our work. We lose sight of the fact that our friend has put in the hours and we haven't and then it's no longer fun for us. For me, I just decided that my sketchbook is a private space, no one needs to see it and that I will just draw and try to recapture that joy of drawing. I approach each sketch as an experiment now, and just draw for the fun of it, in the knowledge that each drawing is teaching me something and that the more I do, the better I will get. Drawing is for you. Have fun with it.
In school I was told I have no talent for painting and drawing and so I didn't enjoy it. But recently, due to starting a junk journal I tried some things. THIS VIDEO makes me want to sketch our city immediately! So clear and doable! Thank you!
Thing is you do have talent. You were belittled because you didn't fit into the teachers idea of 'normal'. It is clear the teacher had inner demons they were dealing with and shared them with you. You have talent, use it, enjoy it and don't ever let someone steal your joy.
I have an essential tremor, so straight lines are impossible. I feel good about my future with watercolour and sketches. Thank you so much. I love your style and encouragement
I’ve struggled for years to understand watercolor. It’s a mystery to me how to finish a piece that seems unfit for the eye. Ugly for short. You’ve helped me understand what I’m supposed to be accomplishing with color. I can draw but the second color hits the page I’ve ruined a nice piece. The simplicity of each step relaxed my overwhelming fear of making a mistake. I’m grateful I found your calm touch and unraveled a piece of this mysterious art. I love watercolor, but I go about painting like it was a chess game. Thank you. I’m going to look for more of your teachings.
I’d like to thank you for introducing me to your style of Art… I’m over 80 & this is my first time using watercolour & line drawings Love your kindness & encouragement… please keep up the amazing videos Best regards R Bailey 👋
Hello, this morning I discovered your Urban sketching for beginners and I really liked it. I subscribed and happy to follow you. I am 70 years old and I dream of learning to make a sketchbook. Thanks to your video I think that all hope is allowed to me. I do watercolor landscapes but I have trouble drawing urban spaces. Thanks for this video. From Toulouse France
never done watercolour dine other types of art at all, I did see an amazing guy making a beautiful painting in water colour in the park last week so i am now here thanks for the clear explaination.
If this attitude was more in this world, we would definitely be more happy! This is not only for drawing or creative processes, I think learning this gentle and loose approach to life is so on point. Drawing would be a practice for that. Appreciations. Thank you💙
Toby, what a terrific video! Thanks. FYI, IKEA sells a dish cloth for 69 US cents that works great for watercolor. I bought a pile of them and save on using paper towel/kitchen roll. I wash them up and reuse them.
I wish I could speak english in a way to thank you how much you deserve. This is The best lesson ive seen on UA-cam. Simple, straight to the point and fun. Thank you so much for sharing this. Regards from Brazil!
My first urban sketch ever! I loved this tutorial. I thought there is no way I could learn to do this and I am so proud now that I have done it. Thank you so much for your tutorials.
Did my first ever urban sketch pen and water colour this week and sold it! Thank you for all your wonderful advice, I could watch and listen to you all day long! Thank you
This was a fantastic tutorial. The best part of it is your constant pep talk and reminding us to not try to strive for perfection, which I think a lot of beginners struggle with! I’ll give messiness and randomness a go!
and it is so crucial to break our mind from the barrier of good supplies and always feeling there is something not ready for painting, the fact is anytime we can and should do it.
Hi, I have wanted to try this for the longest time, but was never brave enough to commit. After watching your video I am going to have a go. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and knowledge.
I live in a small town in the U.S. with a lot of historic buildings. I've been wanting to get out and paint some things around town. Couldn't have found this at a better time! Going to try this in the morning, weather permitting. Rains a lot here.
Hi, Toby! You made me laugh so hard when you said (and I`m paraphrasing): "Don`t be afraid because this really looks like nothing.", and "Now we`re taking out the heavy guns." I love loose sketches, and I would really like to learn how to paint them. This was fun, very informative, and inspiring. Thank you very much! Greetings from Slovenia :)
@@TobySketchLoose Giggle? No, no, no. I wasn`t exaggerating! Your remarks surprised me, and I really was laughing out loud :))) Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I was feeling so uninspired about my painting and how to get back into it until I did this and I just want to say thanks this was super fun and enjoyable. I’ll keep trying more stuff like this .
I struggle a lot with perfectionism and hence haven’t picked up any hobby in years. Started to look into urban sketching yesterday and so so glad to have found you through this video. I’m so inspired to create something of my own no matter how amateur or messy. Thank you, tons. 🩷
They make those books 270 etc, because it’s a sketchbook and you may want to actually sketch something then pop some WC in. That means you’ll likely be using a pencil, pens, or watercolor pencils / pastels / colored pencils, etc. You may not want the paper to “eat” the tips of your sketching tools. So, the paper is somewhat smoother. Imho, 300 + is made with a view to brushes; painting … not so much doodling and the likes. Btw, this is the first sketch I did along with you after I found your channel. It is also the very first sketch in my first WC sketchbook. I was that pumped after watching & listening to your instructions. Just do it , have fun … and it came out great 😊 I have been a subscriber ever since. Thank you, Sir.
Thank you Tony. I now have the paper, travel paints and brushes and pens. Next is to meet with friends at a Botanic Gardens near to us and work out what I want to sketch. This has given me a bit more confidence to make that happen. New subbie also.
Wow thank you! You just unlock something in me. Sketching and drawing was a struggle and a pain in my ... Until now. The perfection and the need of accuracy was so in my way I had no fun at all it was a struggle to practice this skills because it was so frustrating. You bring my fun back and set me loose! I already see progress in my skills it's like something click in my brain and a weight is off my shoulder! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart❤
I’ve watched many watercolour videos on YT but I always come back here. In trying to find my ‘style’ I know now this loose way is mine. This is a lovely little watercolour and I really do love the style. Thank you. 😃👍
I've always loved this loose style of urban watercolor sketching and am so happy to have found this video. Will definitely be trying this after work today!
I ADORE this method! I'm just starting to try watercolor. Usually quite frustrated, not happy with result. But I think I could actually DO this!!! Thank you so much!!
been doing urban sketching, not a pro - urban sketcher, got a lot of flaws, and, this video really is helping me a lot to understand how others-like you - do "that" its soooo great! amazing, this content popped up on the suggested videos.
i get anxious trying to start a drawing cause i worry it wont look "perfect" or i wont like it. this video really helped get rid of that feeling. thanks! defo deserve more subs
Thanks for the introduction to watercolour sketching. I haven‘t sketched or painted for over 40 years but it was something I loved as a student. Your approach inspires confidence to just have a go with minimal financial outlay. I was really pleased to see you working from a photo, my initial approach has been to take multiple photos of my subject, digital photography makes this really easy. I can then put the image on my ipad or laptop and sketch it from there. With experience I may be less self conscious about street sketching 😅. Thanks again and good luck to all those equally inspired. ❤
This is a great place to start, it can be overwhelming starting out and seeing so much perfection. This is a great way to just get brush to paper and learn how your paint dries, and a little composition. Thank You!
Reminds me of an urban abstract painting I have that belonged to my grandmother. Although hers was even more abstract and loose than yours here. Within only a few minutes I feel I learned a lot here in terms of doings lines like this, thank you. I don’t have water colours going on but when I make my own I might use some of my paint pens to add accents.
I have tried this and this is the first time I loved my result! ❤❤❤ It is like the whimsical counterpart of the world. Like, what would the structure be if it were in the Spiritual world!!! It is amazing 😂😂✨✨❤❤❤
Thank you so much ! I got a new sailor pen and some new water colors from a friend and I just popped my ear buds in and did this one along with you. You’re helping me loosen up! Really enjoyed this! Thanks a bunch!!
Thank you so much for this video! I feel like I just had a therapy session while watching you and the way you talk about it, it totally applies to life! It relaxed me sooo much! Thank you, thank you!
I was smiling by the end of the video. What a wonderful tutorial! I've recently started creating urban sketches and sometimes feel overwhelmed when starting a new sketch. This is easily one of the best tutorials I've watched on youtube so far! Thanks for posting and I really admire how lovely and patient you were. I'm truly inspired and hope to use these techniques soon :)
I truly enjoyed following your process for this sketching. It was a pleasure to see the spontaneity coupled with a true image . Thank you. I am going to sketch like this…. Thank you
I was getting bored and frustrated with watercolor since I just wasn't seeing improvements, but your video really inspired me and now I'm having fun again! Thank you so much!
This feels like 'home' to me! I love your style, which fits so well with the sort of work I want to do. Thanks so much for this, and for your free ten-day course, which I've just signed up for.
This is an amazing video! I’m going to try this. I’ve never seen a video showing how to do this type of painting as well as you have. Makes me feel like I can try this without having to be perfect. Thank you!
I just came across your channel. I'm a watercolorist, and I love your ideas for plein air. I'm tired of lugging around an easel and my large palette. I'm older, and I can definitely handle the items you suggest.
Oh Im in heaven. I love this style, I've been battling with the perfectionist UA-cams that leave me blocked with feelings of inadequacy, this way I can begin and flow and find my way while doing it. thank you so much.
Thank you so very mush. This tutorial made so much sense to me and I feel confident to go ahead and do some urban sketches from photos I took on a trip.
this is so so helpful Toby, thank you.Your classes at Skillshare and here have been a guiding hand for me through a scary process of letting go and learn to sketch and pain losely. Thanks a million!
I love your videos so much! You always encourage, inspire, and motivate me to get out of my head and to just sketch and paint. Thank you so much for your dedication as an art mentor... 💕🙏🏼💕

Toby, a brilliant video, well described and most importantly you are encouraging new or beginner artists to be free in their approach. You also talk about fun, painting should be fun, it is such a joy to create even a small sketch a wonderful reminder of a holiday or just a place that took one's interest. Much respect from an old artist.
Thank u for this video! I’m a total beginner who loves Urban Sketching but didn’t know where to start practicing so this is perfect for me! Thanks so much!
I just bought my very first watercolor sketchbook and watercolors this is my first picture/ page ONE ☝️ thank you so much for this video. It was so much fun! I’m new to all of this and you made it so simple! I’m ready for page two, I’m so glad I found your channel and I subscribed and liked 🥰😍🎉

Perhaps the condition known as essential tremor can enliven ones art as one has to accept a lack of precision. I have the condition.

Love your channel. Just found it. I've never seen a brush that has a lid.😊

Thanks! A valuable lesson for me, an arthritis sufferer! Close, careful detail not possible for me! A “class” I would have paid to attend!
You're very welcome!
Hi Kathy, just noticed the super thanks, incredibly kind of you thankyou very much!!!
This is absolutely beautiful. I have recently started sketching and this gives me courage to try urban sketches now.
Awesome to hear!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. 🙌🏻❤️
Awesome
저는 현재 한국에서 작은 동물병원을 운영하는 원장수의사입니다 어릴때부터 제대로 배운적은 없지만
만화따라 그리는거를 너무 좋아했었는데 수의사의 길을 가다보니 어느순간 꿈을접고 살아왔는데
요즘같이 유튜브의 시대가 오다보니 50이 가까워지는 늦은나이에 하고싶었던 그림그리는일을 시작해보고 요즘 너무 행복하답니다^^
근데 그림이란게 해보니 정말 어렵더라구요😂
당신의 유튜브 보면서 많이 배우고있답니다
그동안 가끔씩 눈팅만 해오다가
오늘 구독하고 앞으로 본격적으로
보고 배우겠습니다^^
앞으로도 아프지마시고 건강하게
좋은 작품 많이 올려주세요❤
정말 대단하시고 존경합니다😍😍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Toby, a brilliant video, well described and most importantly you are encouraging new or beginner artists to be free in their approach. You also talk about fun, painting should be fun, it is such a joy to create even a small sketch a wonderful reminder of a holiday or just a place that took one's interest. Much respect from an old artist.
Thank you!
