Artist Jason Nicholas shows how to sketch fast by looking at your subject, not the paper, using loose single-line drawings that capture form over precision. The method keeps you expressive and free when time is short.
And let's do our sketch for today. See if I should zoom in a little bit. Awesome. All right, this is going to be pretty quick cuz I have dinner in the oven. One thing I've been doing a lot more with my sketching is I'm looking— I tend— I'm looking less at the paper and more what I'm sketching, just to start with, to get initial lines. You almost, uh, you might have noticed I'm kind of doing almost like a single line type of sketch here. This allows me just to be a little more free with what I'm sketching. I'm not worried exactly about scale or proportion. I'm just trying to capture, really loosely capture, what I'm looking at.
