Beginner's Intro to Urban Sketching - Structured Learning - Level 1The aim of Level 1 is to break down different components of Urban Sketching into small bite-sized chunks so that you feel comfortable tackling a whole house or a street scene. We'll step through line drawing, one point perspective, 2 point perspective all in pen and ink. Gaining practical skills and growing in confidence. 1 Drawing Straight LinesI have seen with many beginners that their lines could be sharper and cleaner. So, let’s start with the very basics. In this demo, I will share with you my top tips and tricks that I used when I started my sketching journey, that will hopefully help you achieve straight lines in your urban sketching. I have chosen a basic Sash Window which we’ll use to put the teaching into practice. Remember, practice is key! 2 ProportionsIt is critical that our drawings respect the proportions of the object we are drawing. In this module we will be tackling proportions, using a very simple system that I regularly use in my urban sketching. I’ve selected a ‘cute’ little house in my hometown of Chelsea that should provide a great challenge for this topic. 3 Single Point PerspectiveSingle point perspective is a topic that a lot of people find scary, however, it doesn’t need to be! Join me, as I break down this topic, simplify it and extract the key elements that you will need in order to confidently tackle a drawing in single point perspective. 4 Two Point PerspectiveNext, we are looking at two point perspective, following similar principles we used in our last module, single point perspective. In this demo I will carefully guide you through a simple street scene to challenge your ability, and improve your technique. 5 Drawing Sash Windows in PerspectiveIn this module, we’ll be diving into a little more detail, focusing primarily on sash windows. This video will allow you to practice the skills which you’ve learnt in the previous modules. I have chosen sash windows as they have a number of interesting, connected elements which makes them excellent practice. 6 Doors and LamppostsA street scene wouldn’t be complete without doors and lampposts. In this demo I will guide you through a picturesque front elevation which will really put your proportions to the test. 7 Basic FoliageIn this cute little window scene we will focus on learning the basics of foliage. I will share with you some of my favourite tips which will add life to your urban sketching8 Single Point Perspective HouseI am absolutely fascinated by London architecture, so what better way to put everything that we have learnt together by drawing this wonderful little Georgian house. 9 Two Point Perspective HouseFollowing on nicely from the previous module we will now be drawing a house in two-point perspective for an added challenge, but don’t worry, I will carefully guide you through all the steps. At the end of this unit, you will have the chance to self evaluate to see if you feel confident enough to move onto the next level. Hopefully by the end you should have a drawing that you can be proud of! Anabel recently completed level 1, here's what she had to say..."I've absolutely loved following Mayad’s Level 1 online tutorials! What a difference having Mayad as a teacher, demonstrating the Urban Sketching techniques and how to achieve accurate drawings. He is a great teacher, patient and fun!" Annabel, London Here's some of Annabel's beautiful workElizabeth recently completed level 1, here's what she had to say..."Completed the Level 1 series. They were very informative and packed full of information! I like your step by step approach....great for beginners! I learned a lot and realize that I need to keep practicing." Elizabeth
