Travel Sketching with a tablet at the Airport

1. Intro: And welcome to this course on sketching at the airport. And this course is going to be part of this travel sketching series of courses that I have planned to create. Eight. I'm currently at Changi Airport, Singapore. This is actually one of the world's best airports, and there are many places to sketch, such as the waiting area, the checking counters, restaurants, cafes, and the viewing galleries where you can see the planes. I'm actually not taking a flight out from here today. I'm at the airport to make this call for you guys to give you some ideas on what you can sketch, what are the interesting things you can find. And I have my hat on, so I look like a tourist and I'm practically invisible when I'm walking around. This course is for beginners who love traveling or sketching or a combination of both. If you have never tried travel sketching before, I highly recommend you take this course because the travel sketching experience is something you will remember for the rest of your life, more so compared to just traveling and taking photographs, because when you're sketching, you are actually at this location, spending a lot of time looking at what you are sketching. Because you spend more time observing, you will naturally be able to remember the experience more vividly. The projects we will be going through in this course together. We will be sketching people, travelers and what they are usually doing in an airport, and we will be sketching some pins as well. And after you have gone through this course, I highly recommend you head out and sketch a location because that is the best way to experience travel sketching. So before we head over to the first lesson, I have a favor to ask a few, if you guys find this course useful to live this course a review so that other students can know whether this course is good. Let's head over to the lesson. 2. Sketching people: Welcome back. In this lesson, we are either going to be sketching the people who are waiting to check in, such as those who are seated behind me or we may sketch the people who are checking in at the counter. Sketching people at the airport is a great way to warm up, and there are so many people to sketch. If you want to challenge yourself, you can sketch the people who are walking with their luggages. If you want to have a more relaxing sketch, you may want to sketch people who are just waiting to check in, and these people are usually more stationary. And they may have colorful luggages which can make for a great subject to sketch. You can also sketch people who are looking at the flight information board which is a very classic scene. Some airports may have interesting sculptures or art installations that can be quite interesting. You can also sketch people who are at the self check in counters. There are many interesting things for me to sketch wherever I turn because this airport, this terminal is so busy. So now I'm going to take the sky train to another terminal, which I think is going to be less busy so that it's easier for me to find a seat to sketch. So now I'm sitting at this very comfortable seat, and this is what I can see in front of me, the self check in booth. Now, if you want to sketch this, I would recommend you sketch the person first because the person can move off any time, and you can sketch the booth later on because the booth is not going to move. From where I'm seated, I can also see the flight information board. And I will anticipate people who are going to stand in front of the board to check their flight time. So In this case, you can sketch the board and the pillar first and wait for the people to appear later on. And here on the right side, I see this family with so many luggages, and this is what I'm going to sketch. So they are probably waiting for their flight, and they are just minding their own business. So they are not going to notice you sketching them. All right. For this sketch, I will be drawing on the tablet, and the app that I'm using is concepts. By the way, I have another course on concept. So if you want to learn how to draw with this app, do check out that course. For this scene, I have prepared a few reference photos for you guys. So you can choose whichever photo you like and use that as a reference. Let's start going to draw the trolley first. As much as possible, I'll try not to undo because when you are drawing with pen and ink, you cannot undo. What I'm doing here is using my observation technique to this trolley. If you anticipate people moving off, try to draw faster so that the people the person you're drawing is still there when you are drawing. Since this is just a warm up, I don't to be like that precise. Now it's good to go to the airport early so that you don't have to rush to find out where the counter is. And when you check out of the hotel early, you have the time to settle things with the hotel if needed. There is this luggage here, red luggage that is behind the trolley. So when you're drawing, try to include overlapping elements, which will really help you create this sense of depth and perspective. So the lady who was seated earlier is now standing up, and I may want to, you know, wait for her to sit down again because she is blocking the view of the chair. This is the luggage that's lying down on the floor. Seems like they are trying to I mean this family is trying to repack things. The luggage tag. So these are the little details that can make your sketch look more interesting. Luggage tag. These are things that can make your sketch look more interesting luggage tags or stickers that are pasted onto the luggages. All those little details will basically add personality to whatever you do I see some paper bags. S So when you are sketching, try not to tilt your head up and down, which will create movement, which will attract attention. So when I'm sketching, I'm usually just glancing up without moving my head. So now I'm sketching the this side of the so because this is the side that overlaps the body. This is the back of the seat. We have the guy here. S. He's checking his phone. It's good to draw people who have draws. Now, for this sketch, I may color it later on because it's easy for me to color since I'm drawing digital. If I am using water color, it would be good to use a water brush so that I don't have to set up the water tray. I just undo again. Yeah. Now, try not to do so do if you're drawing on the table because each time you undo, you have to redraw again. Also in real life when you're using actual pen and paper, you just can't undo. If you cannot undo, you actually will be more careful when you by, you will start to see things more carefully. But if you know that you can there's a thing you know that you can fall back on, so that's actually not that great for schedule. So this is basically how I would sketch the scene with actual penning paper as well. Okay. The lady just sat down. Again. Yeah. Try not to undo as much as possible. Okay. So let me draw the. I'm drawing the h is. Try to capture the posture as at as possible. You can do that by placing where the head is first, where the hands are, and then you can join the hands to the elbow, to the shoulder. Capturing the posture quickly is very important. Very useful, very important. Okay. I just I made a mistake here again. I drew the leg where I should have drawn the luggage first. Never mind, let me just draw the luggage here. I'm going to highlight some so that you can know that it's a mistake. Okay. So see this area here. This area has many lines intersecting. So this is not very clear what's happening. So when you are drawing, try to avoid areas like this where all the lines overlap, try to draw in such a way that you can clearly see overlapping subjects. For example, with this luggage that I have here, you can see that it's actually in front of the trolley. There is a back here. The seat. That's the back seat. I may want to add some contour lines just to suggest the form of the. And I'm going to have the go to the back of this so that you can see that the dy is in front of the so Yeah. Okay. So this sketch is pretty much done. And remember to write down the name of the place. So where I'm at now is terminal two Shane Apple. I want to point out certain important things that you may have missed. So earlier on, I started by drawing the handle and This trolley has w. So this is the height of the trolley. So with the height of the trolley, I can use this to draw gauge the height of the people in the seat. So you can see that the head of the lady is aligned to the handle. So when you're drawing the people, you should always be using things that you have already drawn to align your subject. Okay. So in this case, if I have to draw the lady, the head of the lady not be above should not be here unless the lady is standing. And also when drawing try to gauge the size. For example, this is the shape of the trolley. It takes up this much space. This is the luggage on the right side, which is about two times the width of the trolley. And we have the heat here for the n, which is almost above the right edge right edge of the back here, the luggage here. And the lady's head is almost above the corner of the luggage here. So these are some of the alignment techniques that I use to basically help with composition and sizing. So as mentioned in the earlier video, if I am using water color, I will be using a water brush because it's just way more convenient. But here I'm using a tablet and these are these concepts. So it's easier. It's actually easier, quite easy for me to cover this sketch digital But many of the techniques are actually applicable when we use water color as well. For example, I started by blocking out the sofa shape. So it's good to color the big shapes first and then work yourself work towards the smaller and smaller shapes. Color the big shapes first. Then at shadows With a few ships, you can see the sketch very quickly coming to life, just with those few ships. This is actually an Indian family. Miss Sketch probably just took me maybe just 15 minutes, I guess, to sketch. So I didn't take that much time to sketch this. Let's have some highlights. Okay. The light is actually coming from the right side because there was a big window. So let's hit some highlights on the right side. And this guy is wearing a very bright shirt. I like this color. Hoops. This color is a sees quite similar to the so far so. I will want to change it to a different color. Yeah. I think it looks better. Maybe. I'm going to add some shadows. Yeah. I think this looks better because I want to have the shirt of the guy from trust against the sofa. So when you are at the airport, when you're just waiting there I mean, if you can sketch, your time is never wasted. Because you are actually doing something quite productive while you are reading. And this sketch is something you will remember. Even if you don't look don't refer to this sketch in the future, this is something you will remember because you spent 15 to 30 minutes to sketch this on location. Now if you were to take a photo of this scene, it's just going to be a boring scene. It's going to be a very mundane scene. But when you are actually sketching this is your creation, which is why you will be able to remember this more idly compared to a photo that may take a split second to take And that is what's so fun about sketching. Let me just make this part of the back black. Yeah, because there are slight source coming from the side. I may want to add some shadows as well. Let me just add the black for the first. Okay. So now you can see this pink dress is just pink. So it would be great to add some shadow details just to create the form just to provide more information to this dress. So after adding the shadows, you can see the dress actually becomes more solid. And we need to add some shadows to the paper back as well. Y. This looks pretty good. Yeah. So I'm going to try and add share Okay. You see this part here. This part, let me just circle it in black for you. This part, the elbow that is by light is not natural, it's not consistent because that area is actually blocked by the so far on the right side. So it's a mistake. So let me just try and fix that mistake since it's a digital sketch. Again, now it looks better. The last thing I want to do is maybe add this shadow for the handle, so that it looks consistent as in the light source is coming from the right. So there should be some shadow there. As I look closely at the trolley, I can see or spot a mistake. So you can see this blue part here. This should be connected to the vertical support, but this is disconnected. So this is a mistake, and I'm going to leave this as it is. Now, when it comes to sketching, there is always going to be some mistake or there may be mistakes. So don't worry too much about that. So I would usually just leave my mistakes in, and I just realize another thing I need to do, which is to color the side of this luggage, because remember the light source is coming from the right side. So this side actually needs to be much darker. Otherwise, this luggage is going to look a bit weird. Okay? They should do. This looks much better now. One thing I almost forgot is it would be good if you can include some sort of setting or draw some sort of setting in the scene. For example, you can add some lines behind to suggest the pillars or the windows of the airport. And this will really put the family in the setting of an airport. Because right now if you are just drawing some people seated on the so far, it could be anywhere. 3. Sketching an indoor waterfall: In this lesson for this lesson, I'm still deciding what to sketch because I'm still walking around the airport. And I'm thinking of sketching inside this cafe. But this is actually a chain store. So this cafe looks the same regardless of whether it's in the airport or in a busy neighborhood or in some other country. So there's nothing iconic about it. When sketching, it's always good to sketch something that is iconic, something that's representative of the place you are at So, for example, this is the very iconic hanky watch power. So if you sketch something iconic or recognizable, people who look at your sketch will be able to recognize that place instantly if they have actually been to the place. When I'm sketching, I love to capture the essence of the place so that I can get a sense of the place and sketching at a cafe is fine. It's just nothing special. I mean, it's that's a good exercise. I would love to sketch people going about their business, travelers, pulling the luggage. I like to sketch action so that you know that something is happening, and it also makes the sketch look more exciting. And sketching something iconic really helps make your sketch look more recognizable. And it also gives impact your sketch. So right now, I'm standing in front of this man made Waterfall at Changi Jew. This place is actually a huge shopping mall, and they have this wa fall here. And those are actually the tracks for the ski train that goes between different terminals. So many people are actually wound by the big waterfall. But as you look around the ear, you can see all the little waterfalls. So there is water coming out from the going down as well. So that can be quite interesting to sketch. And we have the steps with the water. This is a really cool place. And as you can see, this is a really popular place where tourists. I'm not sure if you can see, but there is a lot of mist created by the water fall. So if I'm using a real sketch book, the water is going to affect the in. All right. There is a bench here, a seat here. Oh, There's dinosaur sculptures behind a huge dinosaur in. So this is my view. Let me just adjust the exposure. Okay. So I am actually blocked by the leaves, but since I'm sketching, I can use my artistic license to remove the leaves that are blocking the view of the water floor and also the track by the side by the right side. I am actually running out of time, so I'm going to draw this really quickly because it's starting to get dark. So I'm drawing this tree that is in front of the water floor. And this tree is quite tall. So I want to draw this tree first because I can put the water fall by the side of the tree so that I use the tree to gauge the height of the water fall. For this sketch, I'm going to sketch real quickly. When you sketch very fast, you have to think of ways to simplify your sketch as much as possible. Now, if you are using a sketch book, I will highly recommend you draft out the composition first. Because I'm using an app that has an infinit canvas, I will not run out of space when I'm drawing. So I don't have to worry too much about composition. I just have to worry about, you know, drawing this f. That's a tree by the left side. There are some leaves as well. This place has a lot of vegetation like these are real leaves. Let's draw the circular part for the waterfall. The support for the waterfall is going to be quite challenging to draw. So I'm just going to, you know, use my artistic license to suggest the structure that is holding the water. We have the water coming down like this. There is another plant three here really huge hears. The leaves for this plant actually has holes. I feel like it's important to add the holes. So that this plant can be recognizable to people who are knowledgeable about plants. I'm going to sketch this really quickly. Now, when sketching it's good to close up your lines. Try not to have open gaps because open gaps are ambiguous. Try to close up your lines. Closing up your lines will make overlapping elements look obvious. What I mean by open gas is this. You can see this open gap here. Yeah, that's an open gap. But for water, it's fine, but for other subjects, try not to have open gaps. Also, whenever I am drawing, I'm always thinking about context like where is this place? How can I present the place more accurately? So this place Ty Joel has this waterfall, which is great. So we have the waterfall in the background, we have the place where the water is rushing in. I will want to have people taking photographs of this place as well because there are so many people here. Let's say I only have 30 minutes to sketch this. So I will have to sketch this very quickly. I will have to place the lines that I think are most important so that when it's time to go, I will have a sketch that is still recognizable even without the tails. When sketching try to draw the mo important elements first, in this case, the most important element would be the waterfall. The people standing and taking photos of the waterfall are also very important because those people will give context as to how big this waterfall is. If the people are very small, that means the waterfall is very big. Also, I want to draw a lot of pall because are many people here. I also gives the sense that this place is quite crowded and has a lot of activities. Now, because I'm rushing for time, I can see that the people that I'm drawing are just very loose shapes. For the plants, I'm basically just driveling the plants. I'm seated at this bench with a staircase in front of me. So that's how the staircase looks. I'm drawing some leaves that are overlapping behind the railing of the staircase. We have some steps for the staircase, another railing on the left side, more plants. There are some flowers as well. I may color them later. On the left side, it's just a full on vegetation. I cannot even see the people on the left side because they are all blocked by vegetation. What I want to do is basically just just suggest the points there. There are pints behind as well. Now that we have the height of the water fall at the halfway point, this is where the plants are. There are some points behind the water fall, and we can see the structure behind as well for the water fall. The structure is actually very challenging to draw, so I'm not going to be that accurate. I'm just going to suggest the structure. And on the right side, there is the rail the tracks for the rail, the airport sky train. So I will want to include that and the pillar for the rail. You can see the pillar it's behind the leaves. Yeah. So when trying to create this create overlapping elements, it's just going to make your sketch look more interesting and it's going to create the perspective for the sketch. Believe it or not, this sketch is almost done. This sketch is done. All I have to do is to write the name of this place Chi Jewel. All right? I feel like I should color this sketch, which is going to make the sketch look more interesting. I'm going to choose this here and just block in the shapes for the plants. Yeah. Because there are a lot of plants. I'm just going to block in the shapes for the plants first. Yeah. As you can see, I'm not very precise with my coloring because I'm not very particular about coloring within the shapes. So with water color, I have the same style as well. I don't mind having the color spill out from the shapes. Wow, this is a pretty interesting scene. We have the plants on the left and the right, more plants here. Let's add some darker shadows. Yeah. We have darker shadows. Once you add the shadows, you will start to see the sketch come to David yes. We have con here and some shadows underneath the plant. That's at the grade for the train track. As well. That's a yellow for the flowers. There are actually many flowers. Again, I'm not being very precise, as you can see. I'm just suggesting the flowers. I need to maybe color the bottom part here as well, which is just gray the steps which are gray. Coloring this with watercolor is going to be quite challenging because there are so many little areas, pockets of colors that I have to color. With watercolor is going to be challenging. But it's so much easier with digital sketches because you can just as you can see here in the sketches. And if you make any mistakes, you can just undo but as much as possible, I try not to undo that because each time you undo, you have to redraw again. Yeah. Believe it or not this set is the most. Yeah. It's almost complete. It doesn't have to be that how do I say representative. Doesn't your sketch does not have to look exactly the same as the scene. For me, I'm just trying to capture the essence of the scene, which is more important. Because with travel sketching, sometimes it's just more important to be at the place to enjoy the mo The sketch it's good if the sketch can look nice, but the experience of sketching is also a huge part of the enjoyment. The experience is also very important. When you're sketching, always try to have fun, don't worry too much about mistakes because the more mistakes you make the more you will be able to learn. Now I can add maybe some people who are wearing the shirts. Yeah. This catch believe it or not is almost on fly. I just need to add a few more features for maybe the steps. There are some safety features for the steps. Wheeling here on the left side here. Let's add more people. I add more people in the sea. I can use colors to add people. If you are using watercolor, you can use accurate markers to add details, for example, that overlay the paint. So make sure the paint is why first before you do that. I can use this to add some flowers as well. I need to make the bottom of the track darker because the light source is coming from the top. When you're sketching, also try to think of consistency like if if the light source is coming from the top, then the scene should be lit appropriately. A. This sketch is most complete. Yeah. I want to add a hint of light blue at the top to suggest the sky because now you can see the waterfall is not that obvious. I just want to be ad at the sky to suggest the sky. I can actually add some clouds as well. Yeah. So maybe I can add a cloud on the right side like this. Just to suggest that that is the slide. Okay. Almost done. I actually I want to add more lines to suggest a structure. Have the lines go out of the colors. If you want to draw the lines accurately, you will have to plan that in advance. This is my set of fall in. I like the set. Because well, I really enjoy sketching this. If I have to sketch a scene like this in great detail, this is probably going to take me at least 2 hours to sketch and paint, maybe even 3 hours because I mean, take a look at the details for the vegetation. There are so many leaves to draw. I mean, you don't have to draw all the leaves. If you cannot count the leaves, you don't have to draw the leaves. But if you can count the leaves, you draw the leaves. Yeah. So there is a lot of detail that needs to be drawn in this room. So a sketch like this is going to take a very long time to complete. But I mean, if you force yourself to draw within a certain time, sometimes you may be surprised at what you can create. So sometimes having time constraint is actually a good thing. So I really enjoyed myself with that sketch, even though I probably took less than 30 or 45 minutes to draw that. Now, if you spend even more time with a sketch and you create a very detailed sketch. I am sure. You will get tremendous satisfaction from that sketch, and you will also be able to remember the place way more the house of just how much time you spent on location looking at what you were sketching. The unfortunate thing about this course is even though I can show you the places that I have been to, I can't really make you feel like you are here on location because you are not here on location. You're just watching the video or this course from a computer screen or from your phone or tablet because you are not on location. So if possible, I highly recommend you guys to head out and sketch because it's just way more fun. 4. Sketching an airport interior (part 1): And welcome back. Notice the change of shirt. No, I did not stay overnight here at the airport. I actually went back home and travel 1.5 hours again back to the airport. Now Changi Airport is actually very accessible by public transport. What I really want to say is, I'm not sure if I would recommend you travel all the way out to sketch at an airport unless you happen to be at the airport. You need to use the airport. For example, you may have a departure flight or you may have just arrived at the airport from a flight. In which case, it would definitely be really great. For you to spend some time to sketch at the airport, because these are usually places where we would transit through, and we barely pay any attention to such places. Another good example would be a hotel room. You can stay several days in a hotel room, but years later, at least for me when I try to recall how the room actually looks like or how the view from the hotel window looks like, it's difficult for me to remember because These are very mundane things that we don't pay attention to. So if you can create some sort of memory, if you can record it down in the form of a sketch, you will be able to remember such experiences more vividly. This is the departure hall of Changi Airport terminal three, and this is a very beautiful airport. You can see some greenery or plants there. There are actually toilets located behind the plants so that travelers can look at the plants while washing their hands. So that's one interesting thing that I found out about this airport. On the right side, that's the departure kit. There are some restaurants on the second floor, and this terminal is actually quite big. And you can see this terminal is really bright. And that's because there are cutouts on the roofs or ceiling. So this allows the natural sunlight to filter in and because of that, This place is really well lit with natural lighting. All right. Same thing. I'll be drawing on my tablet because it's just easier to record my drawing process and also do the voice over. My drawing process on a tablet or on a watercolor sketchbook is quite similar. So for this complicated scene, I will want to create some dropping lines first. I will want to find out where the vanishing point is and where the horizon line is. So I'm seated down. So my eye level is here and my eye level will intersect the stomach area for people. So let me just zoom in to show you what I'm talking about. So if I draw a person here, the heat is here, the stomach is there. And the legs will be here. So if there is another person who's standing further away, that person's stomach will intersect with this horizon line as well. Yeah. So that's the horizon line, and the vanishing point will be on the horizon line somewhere on the right side. So if I'm drawing on a watercolor schedule, I will be using pencil at this stage because this is quite a complicated scene or detailed scene. So what I want to do now is to maybe just drop in some structures like the check in counters. Yeah. So if you are using pencils, you can erase at this stage. If you make any mistakes, you can erase. So there is this big counter here on the right pole. This is actually a shop. Yeah. So this is actually a shop. I just want to make sure I get the size right. And I realize the vanishing point is actually somewhere here just at the just beside the shop. So this is this is the shop that I'm looking at. So at this stage, the drafting stage, if you make mistakes it's all right, just don't make the mistakes later on when you ink. So it's good that you make mistakes now during the drafting stage so that you don't make the same mistakes later on. With the vanishing point that I have marked out with an X here. This is the wrong vanishing point. Spend some time to find a vanishing point. And then I will draw some guidelines for the pillars. I can see a line on the ground that separates the tiles from the carpet. And I can see there are many pillars. So let me see. If you can count the number of pillars, you should probably draw the same number of pillars. Let me just count the number of pillars. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, ten, 11, 12, A 12 pillars. So the pillars that are further away are going to be closer together. And as the pillars come towards you, you'll notice that the spacing between the pillars are going to be further apart. So what I'm doing here is, I'm not actually measuring the exact distance between the pillars. I'm just using my artistic license to sort of help me get a sense of how far each pillar are from one and nine. So this diagonal line that I am currently drawing is actually the line for the bottom of the pillar. Okay. This seems to be quite okay. This looks okay to me right now. It's not exactly accurate. But it's okay. So there is this sign board here that is almost half the height of the pillar. This is quite a tall sign board. So this line here is half the height of the pillar, and the information is lower. And we have the other vanishing point on the left side. So this signboard is affected by that vanishing point. And if I look at the advertising sign board on the left side, I can see that it's actually lower compared to the to the signboard that I have just drawn. Okay. So what you can see now is basically, I'm just trying to block in the shapes. Let's draw the circular restaurant on the second floor curves all the way as a circular restaurant, the curves like this. And we can draw the departure home while taking into consideration how high this ceiling is relative to the signboard, the information sign here. And we have many people at the departure hall, which we can draw later. I just want to block in the shapes right now. There is an escalator by the left side. So now you can see the scene is kind of white. As I continue to draw on the left side, this scene will just become wider and wider. If you have if you drawing on a watercolor sketch book, you will obviously need to plan out the composition first. Because otherwise, you may run out of space. For this app that I'm using, the features and ethnic canvas, so I don't have to worry too much about that. Okay. So there are some people standing on the escalators as well. I would want to draw that in. There is another huge advertising signboard on the left side. Okay. So believe it or not, the drafting lines are done. It is definitely advantages to spend the time to put out to draw the drafting lines. And this drafting lines may actually help you draw faster later on. And the drafting lines certainly will help you make less mistakes later on. Okay. This looks really good. I want to maybe add some texture to help me identify the wall of plants behind. Yeah. So this looks pretty good. Yeah. I may want to suggest some of the roof as well. The roof is actually there is a venting point here on the sea. Somewhere here. So when I draw the roof, I want to maybe have the lines go towards the venturing point. Yeah. I don't have to be that detailed. Okay. So this is I mean, the drafting lines done. So now we can ink this. I'm going to start with black. So this is the how should I say the scary part inking. I am drawing digitally, so it's not as scary because I can undo. But as much as possible, I will try not to so that the sketch can look more natural. And also, it's good discipline not to undo that often so that when you're drawing, you are going to be more careful with drawing more accurately. Okay. So we have to shop on the right side. I'm just going to have that fit into white. Maybe I can have some people standing at the shop. Remember the horizon line should actually cross the stomach in. So that is exceptionally important. Yeah. It's really important. It's so important that I may just want to, you know, draw some people place some people in the scene so that I will remember to draw them at the correct size. Yeah, one person there. Let me just reduce the opacity of the draft layer. If you are using pencil, usually when I'm drawing with pencil, I may not erase the lines later on, even when I add watercolor. Okay. Okay by placing a few people in the scene, making sure that the stomachs are lined with the horizon will help a lot. Okay, yeah, this is great. Let me just add more people first. Base, the reason why I'm doing it right now is because I realized that I had actually made a mistake at this area here. So this part here should be higher. This is the bottom of the pilar there for the shop. Yeah. So it would be good if you can actually just place people in your sea first. I just realized this tip sketching. Yeah. It helps a lot. Okay. So now I can draw the pilars. My lines are I mean, the panus are really straight, but you can see my lines are not that straight, it's okay. This is the charm of hand drawn art. We have another pillar here. The top of the pillar is circular. But as the pillar goes down all the way, the bottom part is less circular. It's a slight curve. But make sure you draw the curve. There is a fire extinguisher here. Let's draw the advertising signboard. Right now I'm trying to block in all the major ships or the big ships so that I can add the details later on. Let's draw the second floor. So if you have drawn the dropping lines earlier, right now, you will be able to draw faster because the foundation is already there. Oops. Made a mistake here. Let me just undo. This is a curve. So make sure it looks like a curve. Yeah, I cheated because I actually do. This is the entrance for the restaurant. Yeah. So try to I mean, it's for me, there is a tendency to draw fast, but sometimes when you draw slow, you can actually draw faster because when you draw slow, you make less mistakes. And when you make mistakes, it allows you to draw faster. It is very interesting that way. So this is the escalator. Oh, I forgot to draw up someone on the escalator. So let me just draw the escalator now. Make sure the escalator follows the perspective books. There's a very big stroke there. It's. It's okay. Looks fine. I really don't like to undo because the more you undo the more the more time you have to draw the same thing again. Okay. This is the advertising signboard, huge one on the left side, comes down all the way down to here, not touching the ground. Oh, there is actually a lift, and elevator here. This is where people can take the elevator to go up to the second floor. I didn't realize that, but now I know it's there. Yeah. So because I've drawn that elevator, now I know where the elevator is. So next time when I come to the airport, I will know exactly where the elevator is if I need to use that elevator. On the left side, we have the plans. We have actually what's this? This is the drop off. There is this piece of glass here. This glass is affected by the VP, the pension point on the left side, so I will want to draw that. Yeah. So for the points, I'm just going to suggest it my s for the roofs, while the roofs are challenging because there are many small pieces fold out pieces. So instead of drawing the fold out pieces, I may just draw the cutouts because there are fewer cutouts to draw. And then I can use my artistic license to add the cutouts. We have there are some decorations here. There's a big fig tree there. So C Airpark always has the little exhibitions, art installations where people can actually just take photos in art. Okay, we have the plants on the other side. I make sure they follow the perspective. Okay. I just realized that there are actually railings. There are actually railings that go on top of the pillars. This is great because this is going to help me divide the scene into smaller smaller section. So I'm going to draw one pillar here. I'm going to start from the pillar and go all the way down here and then draw another one like this. This is one pillar. The pillar will go to the vanishing point. Make sure you draw the angle correctly. Yeah. So as the as that horizontal beam moves to the right, the angle will be lower and lower. And also because they are further away now, I'm representing those beams with just a single one. For the people in the background, I'm just going to represent them the dots on the horizon. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So believe it or not, this sketch is almost complete. I will not draw the line that separates the towels from the carpet because there is no change of form. So I usually use lines to u separate the direction of the plane. All right. Now I have to think of how I should draw the cutouts for the on the ceiling. Yeah. That is very challenging to very challenging to sketch. So maybe I shall just maybe draw a cut of here. Maybe another one here. The cutouts are actually affected by perspective. Yeah. So spend some time to think about how the cutouts would look. And that will really help spend some time. Now when you don't know how to draw something, spend some time to think about how you can draw something. Yeah. Just spend the time Drawing takes time. Drawing takes time. Okay, I'm not going to draw, like all the cut outs. So as I draw the cutouts, I realize, I'm not sure. It seems like the cutouts cannot be closed. I'm not sure if there is a motor to close the cutouts. But this is how the cutouts. Okay, I think this sketch is complete. So let me just hide the drafting lines. And now I can color on this. 5. Sketching an airport interior (part 2): I feel like I need to maybe make this pillar even taller. Yeah. Okay. It looks there's no detail at the top, but there it looks like there is a security camera right up there. Yeah, so let's put that security camera there. Okay. So let's color. I'm going to have my color go onto the bottom layer. And I'm going to use a warm gray because the towels look like a warm gray to me. So this is the This is the bottom. The roof also looks like a warm gray. So I'm going to have this. Coloring digitally is way easier compared to coloring watercolor if you are using watercolor. If I'm using watercolor, I will still paint the big shapes first. I will paint the ceiling, the tiles on the ground, and then the greenery and then the departure gate, just walking my way from bigger to smaller shapes. Okay. So now we just color some plants. Yeah. So we have the plants here. I want to have some plants on the left side as well. Some plants here. Okay. We can have the yellow gray. So yellow that exactly sure what color this is. Let's try. Yeah, it doesn't look that great. Let me just switch back to warm gray. Yeah. So when you're not really sure how a color look like, sometimes you can just go with limited color palette, which is safer. Yeah. So when you use a limited color palette, the colors will be able to well together. Okay, let's have let's draw. So that's the catching advertising signboard. Y. Let's paint the departure it with a light neutral green. So I see that I'm actually just using, very big shapes. Let's paint the pllars. Which looks like a brown to me. Yeah. This color looks about right. So I can draw this. So with the shape to, I can actually fill in the colors very quickly. This app that I'm using does not have a feel bucket two. And also, if you're drawing digitally and you want to use a few bucket to, you have to make sure to close up your lines. And when you are drawing, I will highly recommend you close up your lines so that your drawings can look clear. So I am adding some, lights that are coming down from the roof ceiling. Okay. So for the ceiling, let me just make it darker. S. Yeah. Maybe I will add, you know, the panels on the ceiling and make them gray later. So I want to make the shapes between the horizontal beams of this darker color. And horizontal beams can be gray. So these are some things to think about when coloring. Now, when using watercolor it's definitely going to be more challenging. We have some shot shift to using the neutral gray. This is the gray that I was talking about. I may want to make this darker. Looks good. This is the advantage of digital. Now, speaking of digital. I was just reminded that you should probably take a reference photo just so that you can you refer to the reference photo if needed. Okay. So this sketch, believe it or not, is complete. It's a really quick sketch. And it's easier and so much easier when I'm using when I am actually using digital. Let me draw the black signboard. No too black. Let's make it dark enough, but not that dark because I actually want to have words on it. And for the words, I will be using white. No. It's not white. It's actually yellow. So if I'm using watercolor, I will be using acl marker to add details like this. So adding little details like this is going to make your sketch look way more interesting. Add some ships more colors. Yeah. And more ships. This sketch is actually complete. I'm just adding more details to make it look more interesting. Et's make the ceiling here darker. Let's have the guy wear a red shirt. His guy here in front. I feel like he should wear a red shirt so that he can contrast very nicely with the green by the side. And let's draw the carpet on the ground. So for the carpet, I'm going to use a different warm gray. I will use a lighter warm gray. So remember where the venting point is and this line will be the venting point. We go to the venting point. And I just realized that I just made a mistake because the carpet does not go all the way there. So the carpet actually starts here. Ops Let me just switch back to the color. The caplet starts here and looks like this. And I may want to, you know, add another structure here. Yeah. There is this trolley poking structure here that I want to add as an overlay. Yeah. I looks good. Yeah. So when sketching, it's good to think about overlapping elements so that you can add them. And I may also want to add some some additional details on the ground. Just to suggest, you know, let me just undo. I need to follow make sure the tiles follow the perspective. Yeah. It's good to have some little details on the ground. Maybe the plant here needs to be darker. So it's good to add some variation to the flat colors that you may have. This applies to water color as well. Yeah. So there is light source coming from the top. And now I can maybe use this No. Let me just use a darker gray like a dark gray to draw the, you know, the metal plates, the rectangular metal plates on the ceiling. So this is going to be a combination of darker gray and lighter gray. I am not really paying attention to the location for each metal plate. I am just making sure that the metal plates are actually following the perspective. So as I am drawing some of the diagonal lines, I'm trying to have the diagonal lines move to the vanishing point. This is a very stylized sketch. It's not totally representative of of the scene because I'm not really drawing the metal plates correctly or accurately. And now I'm going to use white to block out certain areas like that's not white enough. Yeah. Okay, that is wide enough. That's wide enough. Just to block out certain areas, make it brighter. So this provide some variety. Yeah. So notice I did not draw lines for the metal plates on the ceiling. Okay, Let's some shadows here as well. Let's have some white in the backgrounds. Yeah. So this sketch is done. All I need to do now is to write the date and time. So today is 10 July 2020. So this is how the sketch looks. Now, there is this color theory that I learned from somewhere that says that You can actually make your art look more interesting if it has three primary colors. Yellow, red, and blue. Now if you look at this, there is some red here. There is some blue here and some yellow here, and some red here. So what I want to do is maybe add more primary colors. Let me just add more yellow, red and blue. Yeah. Let me just add more red. Let me. And maybe add add more blue because the color theory usually add more yellow red and blue. So let me just add blue to certain areas just to you know what? This thing here is actually blue. Yeah, it's actually blue. So now does seem to work better. And I want to add some detail here. So here we have this negative shape. We have white against color. Where else most of the sketches just color against white. And while you were not watching, I have actually extended the background here. And while you were not watching, I have actually extended the background on the left side so that now when I zoom in clothes, the sketch will fill the screen. And I can do a screenshot of this and share it online. It's good to have some sketches that zoom in and focus on certain subjects, and it's good to have some sketches that capture the place so that you can get a sense of the place. 6. Sketching a plane (part 1): Come back. This is the last project the last tomorrow, and since we are at the airport, we have to draw names. This is the scene in front of me. And it's cloudy day, so we don't see any cast shadows, which is actually not that great for sketching, but at least the scene is brightly lit. Airport vehicles are fun to draw because there are many different types of vehicles for different purposes. There are ones that would help you load luggages onto the planes. There are those that would drag luggages around. There are also security vehicles, vehicles that would pull the planes around. Let's have a look at this plane that's parked there in the background. This is not an ideal scene to sketch because the front of the plane is locked by the structure. I will actually prefer to sketch a plane where I can see the front of the plane. But sometimes the view that you have is really limited by where you are. And here on the right side, there is another plane. Which is there, and we can see the front and back of the plane. So this is actually a pretty good view, and we can see some vehicles probably loading or removing luggages from the plane. So we get some activity as well. When you are drawing the vehicles, I would recommend you draw them fast because they can move away quite quickly, especially if they have already finished loading the luggages. So try to draw them quickly because they can move off any time. Front planes is actually not easy, not easy because the front of the plane is curved, and due to the perspective, sometimes it's not easy to see the wings. And also, if the plane is parked very far away, it can be quite difficult to see the details. So it will be great if you can sketch some plane that is nearer, a plane that's parked nearer or the vehicles that are parked nearer. All right. It seems that I am quite lucky today and a plane has just parked right in front of and we can see good shadows on the ground. So later on, there will be some vehicles that will be parked on the other side to unload the luggages, and we probably won't be able to get a good view for those vehicles. We have to wait for the gate to extend to the side of the plane so that the passengers can light. And as expected, you can see the vehicles coming into unload the luggages now. But because they are on the opposite side of the plane, we can't actually see the vehicles properly. Let's sketch. Same thing. I'm going to create some drafting lines first. It's important to get the perspective of the plain right. So make sure you draw the tilted lines at an angle. If you can make mistakes now, make them now, so that later on when you ink the sketch, you won't have to repeat the same mistakes. So for this sketch, I'm actually standing and sketching. I unfortunately do not have a table to sketch on. So I cannot rest my tablet on the table. So Sketching the wings the tail is tricky. You really have to get the angles right because otherwise the plane is going to look red. Another challenging part about sketching a plane is the front part, the nose of the plane has to be curved properly because otherwise, again, the plane is going to look. So we have the wheel of the structure here. Placing that away from the tip of the wing. So remember, this is just the drafting stage. There are actually there are many little vehicles at the back. I'm not sure if I want to throw them all. Maybe I'll just pose in a few of them. I may also want to sketch the building behind to provide some context as to how the plane is aligned to the side of the building. Now, this scene depending on how much time you have, can be complicated, can take a lot of time to sketch or may take a short time to sketch. It really depends on how much details you want to add. And also notice the cones on the ground. I think I should make the wing longer. Yeah. I think it looks better with the wings longer. And notice the cons on the ground, make sure you place those coils on the ground. The cuts are red, so they are going to be quite striking when you add colors later on. I'm going to draw a glimpse of the luggage loading vehicle behind. Okay. So this sketch I mean, the drafting lines look all right. So now we can k this. I'm going to reduce the opacity for this. Again, if I am drawing this with pencil, I probably will not want to waste my time to erase the pencil lines later because I may not even have any razor. Okay. So that's wrong. This line here should be vertical. So during my drafting stage, I realize that some of the lines are at the wrong angle. So now when I draw this, I can correct my mistake. Now, it is not possible to draw all the details. So just draw however much you can. Because this plane has just parked here. I don't have to worry about the plane moving off any time soon. And I also don't have to worry about the luggage loading vehicles moving off because I can't even see those vehicles. It is not easy to stand and draw. It's not easy to hold a tablet and stand and draw. But with more practice, it's going to get easier. We have the wheel for the structure. I'm actually not sure what this structure is called. Now, as you draw structures, try to capture the form as accurately as you can get because that will really make your sketch look more realistic. Okay. So that's the structure. Next, we can draw the plane. So this is the challenging part because you need to get the straight lines straight and curves curved at the correct curved area. Okay. You can see my line is a bit war belie that's because my hand is shaking. Let me just undo. Yeah, I'm going to plate set and undo. Maybe I can draw the tail first. So the bottom of the tail is actually aligned with the bottom of this part here. So I can draw the tail first. Goes all the way up here. Curves to the right. It moves to the right, comes down at an angle like this. Yeah. This is a pretty big tail. And next hops. So next, I can draw the start of the plane to the end of the tail. L et me just draw that. Now, if you are drawing with pen and ink, you have to draw a bit more slowly so that you can be more careful. Like really observe where the lines join and really observe the angles of the lines. Sometimes drawing a bit faster may actually help me with making your sketch look more confident. Yeah. You can see me undo a few times for this sketch, and I don't really like to undo. Okay. So a vehicle has just parked in front. A vehicle that seems to be loading food has just parked in front of the plane. So I'm not sure how long that vehicle is going to be there, but I really want to, you know, sketch that vehicle first. Yeah. So it's great that the vehicle has parked there because now we have an element in the foreground that overlaps the plane, which is between the vehicle and the vehicles behind. So that is really great. So let me just draw this vehicle really quickly. And since this vehicle is very blockish in shape, let me just do a bit because I've drawn this a bit too big. Yeah. So when you're drawing, try to make sure you draw at the correct size, otherwise, things may look a bit weird. Yeah. So I'm trying to gauge the size of this vehicle by comparing it to the side to the side tail. We have some wheels for the vehicles, some structure. It is not possible to draw all the details for this vehicle, but we should at least try to draw the main structures that stand out. We have the back gate. I'm not sure how they are going to unload the foot from this vehicle into the p. Anyway, let's just wait for a while and see what happens later on. No. Since we are drawing digitally, we can actually remove the big hole later. Okay. Let's draw the wing here. I'm going to start the wing by start drawing the wing here and then draw to the end point. So this is one way one technique you can use to make sure the line is straight, know where to start and where to end, and then join the lines in between. For example, I know there is this point here, and I know the wing is going to end here. So let me just draw this and join the lines together. Okay. This looks pretty good in my opinion. Good as in, it doesn't look weird. Sometimes good does not mean it has to look good. I just doesn't I just means it doesn't look weird. I can draw the side windows for the planes. What this, I'm just using dots to represent the side windows. Okay, I just realized that this food truck Yeah, this foot truck can actually extend upwards. So that is how that is how this truck actually works. So this is one nice thing about sketching. When you are sketching, you understand how things work. So now that I have this Now that I can see how this truck works. Next time when I draw the truck, I can anticipate the truck moving upwards. So that's one really fun thing about sketching. There is a lot to learn when you're sketching. Okay. Let's draw the I'm not sure what this part is called. Clan has many parts, and it's not possible for me to know how to name all those parts. I'm drawing the engine. My hand keeps undoing by mistake. This is a very irritating thing about undo. Et me just undo again intentionally. Let me just draw the engine here like this. Yeah, I need to draw a bit faster so that so that the lines can look more confident. Sometimes when I draw too slow, the lines will look hesitant. Yeah. Okay. This looks good enough, I guess. Now the top of the truck is actually above the t. So when we draw, we can draw this between the top tail and the side tail. And I have to draw this a bit smaller so that the truck looks small relative to the size of the plane. Yeah. So when we draw structures, we try to I mean, it would be good to think of how the structure actually works. For example, we can see the container actually lift up. Yeah. So what I want to do is maybe draw the bottom of the truck first so that we can have some sort of structure going on. The wheel. We can draw the front of the truck here. I think the container of this truck actually moves up and front. So now that I have the base of the truck, I can draw the diagonal lines. That looks good. We have a cross there. We have a wheel here. Whoops. Yeah. There are many details to sketch. So take your time. Really just slow down, take your time to sketch. Because sometimes the slower you sketch the less mistakes you make, and because you make less mistakes, you can actually sketch faster. Okay. So I cannot see the bottom of the truck very clearly, but that is all right because the bottom part is actually kind of dark. So at this point, I will want to take a reference photo first so that so that I can actually use the reference photo. 7. Sketching a plane (part 2): Okay. So this is the scene that we have right now. And at this stage, I realize that my plane is a bit thin. So the diameter of the plane's body should actually be thicker, but I'm just going to leave it as it is because if I am drawing with ink, there is no way for me to change that. So I don't want to change that. Sometimes, you should just leave your mistakes in. If you try to correct your mistakes, it may actually make things worse sometimes. Okay. So we have the wheel there. We have another vehicle that is parked just behind the tail of the plane. It's actually parked here, but I will not want to draw that in because let me show you what happens if I draw that in. So if I draw this vehicle parked here, you can see that it actually makes the tail section of the wing look unclear. Yeah, it looks it looks weird because there's something sticking out of the plane at the wil section. So let me just remove that. If you really want to draw the vehicle, just draw it away from the vehicle. For example, you can draw the vehicle here. Let me just Let me just draw a vehicle, just park away from the plane so that you can clearly see the vehicle as well as the tail section of the plane. So this is the vehicle that I am drawing. I'm not sure if there is actually a shelter for this vehicle. So I am actually just using my artistic license to draw this. And this vehicle may be a bit too big, so it's okay. It's okay. I'm just going to leave this as it is. Now. Yeah. So remember earlier, we had to draw the back, sorry, the back structure, the other parts of the airport, basically. So this is to provide more context to where this part of the airport is. So we have another gate that is in the background. I'm going to draw some elements to help my placement. So the tall lamp post is somewhere here. We have some lights up there. And we have this gate that comes down. You know what? I need to use this part of the wing to help me draw the gate. And I'm using my artistic license to move things around so that it's easier for me to show this part of the gate. Yeah. Okay, this looks all right. This boarding git here is in detail. Because the plane is going to be parked here for a while, I don't have to worry about the plane moving off anytime soon. Okay. The foot truck has just moved off. Yeah. Remember what I said earlier, try to draw things that are going to move off so first because you never know when they are going to move off. So as I draw the boarding kit by the right side, I realized that I had drawn this part too high. So let me just delete this. Yeah. So if you can try to place as many drafting lines as possible at the start of the sketch. So if I had drawn the drafting lines drawn more drafting lines for the building, I could have avoided that mistake. We have some steps here that goes down. Now, as you draw, you realize that it will start to grow faster and faster at least for me, I will start to draw faster and faster because now I am getting more confident with what I have. And also once you start feeling in the sketch. With more and more lines, it starts to become easier and easier to sketch. So usually the most challenging part of a sketch is obviously at the start of the sketch. So that's the intimidating part. But once you have a few lines, you have a few important lines laid down, that is when that is when the sketch will become easier and easier to draw. And if you feel intimidated by such a scene, I mean, just challenge yourself. Just challenge yourself because what if you can't control this well, at least you would have learned something. There is no there is no cost to failure. I mean, if you are using a sketch book, maybe the cost of failure is you may have wasted like one or two pages, but what is one or two pages? However, if you can sketch something like this. And you're happy with your sketch. I mean, the feeling of satisfaction is actually actually really great. Okay we have some vehicles pumping at the factor. Okay, so this area is where there are so many vehicles. So I'm not sure how I am going to draw all those vehicles or whether I should draw all those vehicles. Yeah. I still think about that. As I'm thinking about that, I will continue to draw the parts. Okay, so now we have the fuel trucks that have just a par. A fuel trucks? T. So anyway, we can have the fuel trucks parked somewhere else first. So let me just draw the feel trucks here away from the food truck, even though they did not appear to be parked side by side. So as ops, this feel truck just just moved off. Yeah. That was pretty quick. Let me just move this away. So let me just draw the other truck that is actually up there. Yeah. So you may want to wait for the driver to actually come out from the vehicle before you draw. So when the driver is out of the vehicle, you will for sure that the driver is not going to drive the vehicle away. Okay, I can hear some sound. Maybe that's the sound of the engine. Can you guys hear it? I hope it's not affecting the recording of this lesson. This place is actually quite this place where I am at the viewing mall. Viewing gallery is quite crowded with. There is actually a person standing here. I may want to erase this part here because it's not very clear. The structure for this part here is not t, and the perspective is. Yeah. So draw slowly so that you won't make mistakes. Okay, I think this looks fine. Perspective is off slightly but it's okay. And now let's try and figure out how we can sketch the vehicles that are cut here. Yeah, so let's just draw those vehicles. I'm going to draw them. The thing with a digital sketch is I can actually zoom into draw. Yeah, it's actually easier for me to draw a digital move. I find that sometimes when I draw with a sketched I tend to make more miticks. If I draw fast, I tend to make more miticks. We have one vehicle there. Los fine. Let's draw the vehicles. So many vehicles. And it's difficult for me to see how the vehicles look because they are so they parked so far away. So if you really cannot see how the vehicles look, that is where you can use artistic license to maybe design the vehicles. But the thing is on once you draw more often, once you have experience of drawing, you will know how these vehicles will look because you can remember how they look with experience and practice. Yeah. Yeah. Let me just draw a few more vehicles. Spend the time to draw the details because later on when you see the sketch have so many details, it's really going to look fantastic. Okay. I may want to you know draw some containers as well. These containers are actually parked quite far away. Yeah. They are not parked beside this plane. But I want to draw them so that get a sense of the various types of vehicles that are working that are being used at Airport. So we have the van here. We have some buggies. We have the truck, fuel truck. Later on, you may also see the vehicle that actually pulls the plane along. Okay. The fuel trucks have just left. I think this sketch is dye. Yeah. I think the sketch is d. This area here looks blank, so let me just draw some draw some things to fill in the blank space. Otherwise, it looks kind of looks a bit. Just a little trolley luggage moving plain in the back room. Yeah. I think it's okay, now. And now let's color the plain. 8. Sketching a plane (part 3): So I want to color the shadow first, which is on the ground. Yeah. So the shadow, the shadow is exceptionally important because it helps keep the plane grounded. And as you draw the shadow, just think about alignment. Yeah, think about alignment so that you can draw the shadows more accurately. Here, I'm going to cheat a bit again because I'm using digital so I can actually erase the wrong areas. Next, I will want to add some colors for w. Sorry for the tail the wheel. Yeah. Again, I'm not very particular about filling the colors within the wines. Actually looks pretty good at this stage. Let's use the white pen to call to g woods. S C with a small t. These are actually all small ers. Let's switch back to to the color layer and add some shadows to the side of the plane. Yeah. So once you add a few spots of colors into the sketch, you'll see the sketch coming to really quickly. We need to add the shadow for this moving. So we need to paint the background here. So the light source is coming from the right Yeah. It's coming from the right top right, actually. So the parts that are lit by light and for the parts that are lit by Yeah. Make sure you paint the site that is in shadow. Make sure the site that is lit by light is not painted. It's just pure white. Okay. I need to paint the shadow for I just realized that I need to add more details to this structure here. This moving here in the background. The steps here come down. We have this lamp post that goes down all the way. There is another rectangular thing here. Yeah, definitely more structure than in the background, more than what I've just drawn. Depending on the size of the paper that you are using, you may have to add more details because if you're drawing on a small piece of paper, you don't have to add that much details because there aren't that much space for you to add details. But if you're drawing on a huge piece of paper, you have to add more details. Otherwise, the sketch is going to look and feel unfinished incomplete. Here, let's add, the light sorry. The light sauce is actually coming from this direction. So let's add the shadows here on the right side so that everything looks consistent. Yeah. Everything has to look consistent. So we have the food truck there. The back of the plane is in shadow, spot here. Here. This tail section is also in shadow. So we actually need to make that tail darker. Yeah, we need to make the tail der. Yeah, this is a good color. So let's paint the shadow in here. Yeah, it looks good. Even though the color is actually split out from the side outside of the lines, it still looks good. Okay. Yeah, the skte is coming alive very quickly. I can see for the gray sections this sorry. This area here is just gray, so we need to make this more interesting and to do that, we can add more contrast. So just play around with light dark versus light, and you will be able to get your contrast. Just think about contrast. Yeah. So once I start adding structures, just adding a few blocks of gray could suggest windows. Yeah, adding some gray sometimes can suggest shadows art is fine this way. Looks pretty good right now. The sketch looks pretty good right now. I need to color the top part to make sure that is white top part is actually lit by light, so it's very important to leave some white. If you are using watercolor, you will have to remember to leave those parts of the paper. It is very important to leave this part of the paper white. Because with watercolor, I mean, unlike digital where you can just go in and paint over certain areas or make corrections. You're going to do that with water color. Yeah. So with watercolor, you have to be a bit more carefully. So this sketch is coming alive quite nicely, I must say. Yeah. So just enjoy the process of sketching. Okay, we see some vehicles here. So for the vehicles, we need to c controls for them. So let's have the vehicles in lighter g. So that is actually a 10% rate. Yeah. So just think of contrast when drawing. Contrast is exceptionally important. Oops. 's see some advertisement on the side. Yeah. Looks good so far. Let's see if we can add some coins on the ground. Should we draw the coins with ink? Let's see what happens if we draw the coins with ink. I think it looks okay. Yeah. We can make the coins even more noticeable by making the bigger. Yeah. Yeah, looks good to me. The coins look good to me. Let's continue to color the truck. Let's have the co in red. So coins have red and white. I've used the red to color the back of the vehicles as well. This has Okay, so we have the brick lights for the vehicles. This vehicle has a rate as well. Okay. Let's maybe add some green because there are some trees in the background of the airport. There are some trees in the background. I will want to add that in just to create this sense of foreground background. And I will want to have the green continue to the back here so that we can get the idea that the trees go all the way to the back. Yes. And here in the background. There is this was a spotlight thing structure. Yeah. So again, when we add this, you get this sense of foreground background because there is one in front. There is another one at the back. Let's see where else we can improve. We may have to make the wheels darker, so this is going to be black. Then part of the gray area needs to be much darker. Because the contrast needs to be higher. So it's going to be much darker. Let's see. Where else? Okay. This part. So this part of the foot truck has to be. We need the shadow for the foot truck as well. I make a shadow for this fuel truck as well. Let's add some white for the lights in front. So as I look at the sketch right now, I can see the right side this area here is kind of black. So I may want to know just continue here to add some detail. So for the background, I don't need to add detail because they are quite far away, so we just need to suggest details that there is still going on at the back. Yeah. So it will be great to add some additional detail to suggest Yeah, do some quick lines just to suggest a more detailed setback. It looks like there is another structure building their extension for building. Yeah. I think that looks fine right now. Maybe we can add some vehicles at the back. So at this stage, the sketch, believe it or not is already done. So I can actually just start right here, but I feel like maybe adding more details may make the sketch look more interesting. Anyway, if I'm waiting for my flight and I still have time, I will just continue to add more details. Because it's it's quite fine. I mean, you can challenge yourself and see how much how much more details you can add. Okay. I think the background looks fine with more details added. Hoops. I have to I have to add all these lines to the correct layer. Hops. Okay. So let's just color some of the some of the buildings, some parts of the buildings. Yeah. This looks good. Yep. This looks really good for me. Shadows on the ground. Okay. The sketch is done. It's done. Okay. So maybe I want to add a sky because it's kind of cloudy today. So let's add some blue sky. Maybe this color. Oh yeah, this color looks fine. Looks good to me. Yeah. So I'm just trying to add a sky I'm not sure if it looks weird adding the sky like this. Maybe I need to add some shadows for clouds. Let's see what will happen if I add some shadows for the clouds. Yeah. So just experiment with the clouds. Maybe we can have white or blue, maybe this moves to two, too obvious. One last bit of detail that I want to add is the markings on the ground. So these are the markings that help guide the plane around the airport. There is one long line inna this plane. There are some red lines, so let's draw the red lines underneath this structure here. Yeah. So adding these little details really helped make the sketch come on line. There is one little box here with a red box inside. Let me just undo that to make sure the perspective is right. Oh, looks great. I can see more yellow lines in front just in front of the plate. I can see more red lines in the background for the just under the other movable pit. There are some cs there. So we have the red line here. Here I mean, the lines are barely noticeable, so let's make sure the lines are thin enough. There is another sorry. We'll just redraw that. Make sure the perspective is. Let's have more yellow lines in the background. Another red liner in the background. Yeah. So as the lines appear in the background it's more more difficult for me to see them. Right. So this is my completed sketch. Always remember to write the name of the place and the date. And for this sketch, I have also created a fun title. I'm sure if it works there by the side. Let's put this on the top of the clouds. I'm not sure if it works there as well. So maybe I can just leave it out. Just so happens that this composition that I have appears to be square. So I may share this on Instagram. And now you can see the plane is moving off. So I took me about 1 hour to sketch and color. And I managed to complete the sketch before the plane moved out so that's great. 9. Outro: So we are at the end of the course. A big thank you for taking this course. Do send me your sketches or upload your sketches online so that I can have a look and I can give you some predicts on how to improve and tell you things to look do for. I just realized after making this call, I actually have a lot more to say about sketching at an airport because there are so many interesting things to sketch and so many things that just occurred to me while I was sketching. So Unfortunately, I am not able to cover all that otherwise, this course is going to be like, 3 hours or 4 hours long. Oh, before you go, do me a favor. Leave this course a review so that you can help me and help other students know how got this course is. All right. See you guys in the next course. By? 10. Aircalin Plane at Auckland Airport: For you up. We make you. What is that be t f suffer T let's go. I just want to show. S Oh. Those. Page four passages. Mr. Mr. Rams. A Page fight passages, Mr. Mr. Please report to a two. Thank you. Fiji Airways flights, one, 02 ending is to demand. All passengers should be on the eight as eight. This is the final move. Hh
