Sketching Your Point of View

Description Find out how to draw what you see confidently with lessons from Urban Sketchers correspondent Paul Heaston. You’ll start by discovering how to simplify cluttered spaces so they’re easier to sketch, as well as how to add dimension to your work with value. Next, take the frustration out of foreshortening as Paul helps you apply this concept to give your sketches a more realistic sense of space. He’ll also show you how to maintain consistent scale and proportions as you sketch. Perspective can seem perplexing, but Paul will refresh your understanding of both one- and two-point perspective techniques before teaching you to capture them intuitively. From there, you’ll discover how space curves as it recedes so you can sketch scenes as they truly appear. Paul will even help you apply the techniques you’ve learned to create a wide-angle sketch of an interior space.
