Gestural Sketches

These gestural sketches are great for warm-up and show that a good sketch doesn’t have to have many lines. Don’t be afraid to make bold strokes in this step, and - very important - don’t be mad at yourself when a sketch doesn’t end up good. Simply make another one. This exercise is for warming up.

 

Mushrooms

Here you can see the mushrooms I sketched for this class. I followed my basic approach for all of these: lightly sketching the basic shapes, pencil outline, adding details, adding color with watercolor and/or colored pencils.
