Cafe Sketch: How to Draw People Quickly🎨 Pen and Watercolors on Location
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you my morning finding inspirations at a favorite cafe. I captured 3 people sitting in front of me in my sketchbook quickly and effectively. Then I sketched the shelves behind them, and using watercolors to depict the cozy interior space. Please watch the video until the end for my full process composing this sketchbook page using pen and watercolors.
🎨 Materials I used:
Sailor's fude fountain pen
Noodler's Brown 41 Ink (to fill the fountain pen)
Mungyo watercolors
Etchr Mix-Media A4 size Landscape Sketchbook
Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
Holbein water brush (medium tip)

I’m just starting out at 46. I’ve watched so many “how to sketch videos”. You are the only one I have found that explains it and makes it simple not too complicated. I think you’d be proud of me I sketched my first tissue box and it turned out very well. I’m very new to watercolor. also haven’t tried that yet that’s my next go to, but I just wanted to say I have so enjoyed watching you. Lovely sketch day today.
That is wonderful! I love the idea of sketching a tissue box, it’s a simple and great way to practice.
Incredible: both the drawing and the accompanying description. Thank you.
Beautiful! I like the way you explain your process of what to include in your painting! Thanks so much!!❤
Love your sketch ❤
Maravilhoso 💞😍😍👏😍😍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Becky, loved your delightful sketch and watercolour. You do it with such ease, I like the Mungyo watercolours, nice little travel set, and the hues are very pleasant. ❤
Like to see you sketching and drawing 🎉
Love the lines of the pen. So versatile!
Love your style of drawing! That was good fun watching it.
I could watch you all day! So fun. I hope to be half as good someday!
Amazing!!
love this
Incredible sketch Becky, I remember how I struggled to sketch in coffee shops without also composing my food, people, and cafe, then painting on location. I know you have been disciplined in your practice for years.!! How did you overcome early attempts that didn't turn out well and stay positive?? Were you a prodigy and always drew as a child? I love kittys and art and your work!! Thanks from Canada 🍁 ❤😊😊
Thank you! I love drawing since I could hold a pencil... for almost 30 years now and non stop. I don't think I was a prodigy but I simply enjoyed drawing and sharing with friends and family for years and years... I just threw a drawing away if it didn't turn out well and keep on creating, no negative emotions. ☺️
Can I just say you make this look so easy. I love how you walk through all the steps and your thought process. Thank you! I’m binge watching your videos. lol. I like how you document your day through drawings. Can we be friends? Haha
This is beautiful! Thank you so much. I enjoy your coffee house sketches.
really lovely artwork Becky! love the details and colours. Love your composition of your artwork as well. You capture the atmosphere so perfectly.
Thank you so much 😀
Nice!
I really like your unique style. Including your food is awesome and draws your eye into the painting. ❤❤❤ thanks for your videos.
Thanks Becky for sharing your trips to interesting places. Thanks also for sharing your unique process of creating your beautiful and inspiring works of art. Sending hugs from Texas.💐
I have been thinking about getting these pens. They do come in a package together. Did not know they didnt have the converters included. Most pens I've looked at do. Thanks so much for this. 😊😊😊
Just found your channel lovely sketches
This was so enjoyable to watch! I love seeing how you choose to compose a scene, emphasizing some elements and ignoring or minimizing others
Becky, it's so much fun to watch you sketch and paint! This is beautiful.
Glad you enjoy it!
Wonderful Becky, it was like I was in there with you. Great atmosphere again.
Beautiful sketch. Nice to see some local cafes.
Can't wait to buy my first fountain pen❤
Omg that is amazing 👍🏻👍🏻 You are so talented 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. New subscriber from 🇨🇦.
Thanks so much! 😊
Your drawing and painting is such a treat! Love it!
Wonderful work in your sketchbook! I love the work you do! Thankyou
Love your videos! So much fun & so helpful & inspiring! Thanks, Becky! :)
Thank you for sharing this video Becky. I love the sense of depth. I learn something new every time I watch your videos 😀
You did the portraits great
Love your sketches and videos…thanks for sharing!
That was so fun to watch! Thank you!
I tried the bamboo today and it was hard to control. I will try the blue one, Great images!
Yes I agree that the bamboo one is a bit harder to control compare to the blue one. But have fun trying and playing, it takes some practice to get used to these pens.
Much enjoyed.❤
👌👍👍👍
So glad I discovered your channel, beautiful sketching and painting. It gives joy watching
Love your style so much and enjoy your coffee shop sketching immensely
Thank you for sharing, it seems so easy when you do it!
I loved this one Becky. So happy you've switched to the Fude pens - they're great aren't they?! Have a lovely day ☺
My gosh you are so talented. Your drawing and painting is just amazing. I really enjoyed watching this whole process.
I also love my Sailor fude de mannen pens, although I generally prefer the 40 degree nib over the 55 degree one. But I use smaller sketchbooks in general.
It would be great to show how you decide shading on coffee cups and other food items. I always get shading wrong. Like on a donut there are so many highlights and shadows everywhere

Ooh, the gooseneck phone holder is cool. I was wondering how you get the top down view in a cafe! Which one is it please? The ones I have looked at on amazon, the reviews say it's very stiff and difficult to move the neck part. How is the one you have? If you like it, please share brand and model or link? Thanks so much Becky. Another inspiring video!
I purchased the Gooseneck phone clamp, Avantree brand. Unfortunately, it has been out of stock for a long time. Here is the link anyway, for your reference:

@@BeckyCao Thank you Becky!
что это за божественное перо!?!?!?
This is amazing! :D Would you recommand other brands of fountain's pen? What do you think of Faber Castell? Thank you!
Thank you! I haven't tried Faber-Castell fountain pen yet, but their fine liner PITT artist pens are very good.
Watching you draw people, I thought, who's going to draw Becky? You could find a mirror and there you go.. ;))
😀 Some of my fellow urban sketchers have sketched me over the past 10 years. It's nice to see my image portrayed by other artists.
Ahaaa.that is great :)
Wish I could do better with drawing people. Too fast on the people for me to follow tho’; I’m old 😁
Nice sketch of the shop, thnx
