    Thanks for this tip! I applied it to the dark parts of a church ruin and blended it in, works perfect as it contrasts to beautifully with the lighter yellow-ochre sandstone parts! I also want to mention that shadows using a black fountainpen and touched with a damp brush to let the activated ink run produces lovely lively shadows.

    @lstchcglch Рік тому +2

    I like using a drop of clear water into the shadows to infuse a bit of light...done at the right time it will not create a huge bloom, but a subtle way of breaking up a boring shadow. Like your videos and work very much, thanks.

    This is a great tip! And you’re right-I just went back to a couple trash bin sketches I’d done recently (where they ended up looking boring, but I couldn’t pinpoint exactly why) and scattered a touch of blue around. INSTANT pop! Thanks so much!

    Moonglow is greatly overrated

    • @TobySketchLoose
      @TobySketchLoose  Рік тому +5

      It does certainly have a cult like following 😂 and a lot of people who hate it.
      I would argue that art is a bit too intrinsically personal to be able to say anything is overrated, as if someone personally loves it then I wouldn't want to take that from them. I've, personally, not found anything yet which can produce the same effects and joy for me - though very happy to take suggestions!
      Just one silly man's perspective of course 😁😁😁 neither right nor wrong just thoughts 💭
