[Real-time]How I sketch an urban scene with ink and watercolour

This sketch was supposed to be fast and simple but I spent more time on it tweaking the details, so I won’t call this one a “loose” sketch(but loose or not is really a subjective thing I suppose). Hope you enjoy the real time and let me know if you prefer shorter/longer videos too!
Ps: sorry for the autofocus/blurry problems, I shall fix that in the next video alright🤞🏻

    I like to use a kneadable eraser. You can use them like a conventional eraser, but they have a second use. Instead of “rubbing” out things, you can use it to dab at your pencil lines. This allows you to pick up excess graphite and lighten up your lines. It’s handy if you like to watercolour over your pencil lines as you want them to be as light as possible

    Hello from South Africa. Thank you so much from a 63 year old beginner 😂. I recently came upon your channel and I have watched almost all your videos which I find very inspirational. In this piece I love the way you managed to capture all the details in the window of the shop and ended up with a beautiful window. I just love the way the colours blended. I do find the idea of using a fountain pen a bit daunting. Can you recommend a waterproof pen which one can use instead? Once again, thank you for inspiring me 😊

    I can understand why people ask a lot of questions regarding the ink. I asked in my local art store about water proof ink and Lama Safari pen. They told me it is impossible to use water proof ink in that pen. I don't know if you clean the pen after each session or how you make it work? Or is the ink you linked to in the description not clogging the pen?

  • @JilleeArts

    @JilleeArts

    4 ай бұрын

    I see, that’s understandable. I was lucky because back when I bought this pen, my local art store sold me the pen with the ink converter and suggested using Noodler’s ink(the ink I linked in description) because I said I was going to use watercolor over it. I basically never clean this Lamy Safari, I only use Noodler’s ink with it and it never gives me any clogging issues. Hope that helps!🤗

    Yes, you can change the fountain pen ink to any ink designed for fountain pens as long as you have a converter. I use Noodler’s ink which is water resistant on cellulose paper but from my experience, it works well on 100% cotton too(eg Arches)
