Thursday Sketching

Hey, um, happy Thursday, March 19th. Yes, I got it right, March 19th, 2026. Hope you're having an awesome day, night, whatever time it is. I'm Jason with the Inkspired Life, where I love sketching, especially architecture, um, sketching anything. I just love being creative and coming on here and just sharing what I'm doing and connecting with you guys and putting out some positivity, maybe some motivational, just good stuff. So join me for a little bit as we, um, do some creating here. I, uh, I turned the camera on, I'm not even ready. So we're gonna do what I like to do, is grab-and-go creativity. We're going to use what I have around here and just, um, yeah, do some sketching, sketch painting. So this is what we've been working on lately. And when I say we, it's not me as plural, but we like when I communicate, connect with, connect with you guys online. These cool kind of abstract backgrounds where I'm adding some New York City-inspired architecture on top of them. And it's been turning out really, really fun. It's just something very, very different. It's out of my wheelhouse— is that the expression? Um, and that's what's fun about just having a playful attitude about creating and creativity. Um, that playful mindset frees a lot of boundaries because you don't feel like you need to be perfect and, and execute something with precision. You know, when I hear the word playful, you know, playful, I think of, um, childhood and being young and just kind of exploring the world with curiosity, right? A sense of wonder. And That's how I'm trying to approach what I'm doing here with my artwork and sketching in general. But this, this sketchbook I'm specifically dedicating to this purpose of exploring these abstract fun backgrounds. So long explanation just to say, just have fun with what you're doing and learn from it, right? So I have a couple of pages ready to go. Um, I might, I might just create another one. I think I'm gonna hit, hit the city on Saturday, and I might just prep another page or two to have it ready with me. I'm going to bring this sketchbook. So a couple things tonight, I think we'll just do a background on one of these pages, and then we'll come over here and we'll do a sketch and have a couple of ideas. I'm hyper. I'm so sorry. Why? Because I'm excited. I just love, love doing this. So feel free to slow me down in the chats. Um, a couple of ideas. I might do the Manhattan Bridge on one of these, or, or yeah, I love, love, love this building, the Domino Sugar Refinery. Here's a couple of sketches I've done of it. So maybe we'll do one of these or not. We'll see where the next 20 to 30 minutes takes us. Feel free to say hello in the chat. I love checking in and saying hello to you guys and ask questions, talk to each other. Let's just spread positivity out there. All right, so I'm just going to unwind here, kind of loosen up, and let's just I'm going to throw colors down on here and just have fun with this. Let me just make sure I have paper towels. I'm, I'm a messy, messy acrylic painter. I get paint everywhere, so I'm just ripping a paper towel. All right, cool. Hopefully you guys can see this. I didn't turn this light on. I told you I came on early. Um, Hey, it's great to see you. Um, Edie Sedgwick 4462 on YouTube, how are you? Hope you're doing well. Hopefully I'm saying— am I saying your name right? I hope so. Here's what I want to do. Let's— I have this really cool dirty green water. Yeah, it's green, it's not like nuclear reactor water. Um, I'm going to use this green water and throw it down on these pages and see what it looks like. So that is where we're starting. So again, tonight we're just throwing down, and maybe we can't see it at all. Let's see, there's a little bit of tint to it, not as green as I thought, so That's okay, we're gonna throw down some dirty water and we're gonna grab some acrylic. And in no particular order, I just grabbed Carmine Red Light Hue. That is a lot of Carmine Red Hue. My water bottle. All right, cool, let's just spread this around a little bit. I like these sponge brushes because when they're dry, you kind of get these cool textures happening, like these kind of white spaces. That's, that's kind of a fun unexpected surprise. And I'm just, I'm just grabbing and going. Grab and go creativity, that's my, my thing. Let's throw some pink on here. So I want to set these pages up so when I go to New York City on Saturday, they're kind of just ready to go, and I could just do my sketching on top. So that's going to be a lot of fun. Um, yeah, there's one word I want you to take away from tonight. It is playful. Just be playful. I feel like I need a little something to cool this down. We got some red, some pink going on there. Let's throw some blue. And you know what I just thought of? Silly me. If I wanted to sketch on these, I have to let this one dry, don't I? So we might have made a backup plan. So actually, we'll multitask. We'll just do— we'll kind of do this side as well. I like scraping away paints to show layers underneath. So it's kind of what you see me doing here. I'm just kind of scraping away a little bit. All right, I think I need some yellow on here. Let's throw some yellow down, we'll let it dry. I'm listening to Nirvana. Do you guys think— do you think Kurt Cobain would approve? All right, speaking of artists. Oh, I like that. That's cool. This yellow just kind of lifted this up a little bit. What's really fun to see is how colors— when some colors are next to other colors, how they kind of pop more. It's really— this is one of the cool things about these kind of abstract backgrounds. All right, let me show you what I think is looking pretty cool down here. Move this up. Um, I'm really liking the colors happening right down in this area. Looks really, really fun. I like the colors happening in here as well, and I always love pink next to, um, pink with orange or pink with yellow. So I kind of really like what's happening here as well. So I think this is going to dry, it's going to have some really interesting areas. I'm going to, I'm going to take a paper towel, I want to blot some of this out just for some texture. And you can see what I mean, I'm getting this stuff everywhere. That's just part of the playful process, right? And that just gives a little bit of texture. All right, I think this is good to dry. Yeah, let's see, maybe we'll just add something to this side. So I was kind of using this side to just to brush off or clean off the brush, and it's very, very different, right? I kind of like the kind of brown, and we have some kind of bluish grays happening. Let's throw a little bit of green on this one. I think this way I'll have 2 pages ready to go by Saturday. All right, cool. I think these are good to dry. Boom. So we have 1, 2, we have 2 here ready to go, 3, 4, And these are the ones I've done already. So I'm gonna let this dry. So I have a Plan B. So I could— because I was going to work on these pages, uh, maybe actually, maybe I can't. Hold on, let's see. You know what? We're going to go for— I'm just going to let these pages drop on top of each other and let's do it. All right, I'm gonna see if I can zoom in a little bit here. All right, so I decided to go with the Manhattan Bridge. So this is kind of a reference sketch I'm going to use. We're going to sketch that on this sheet while these two kind of dry up a little bit. So here's how these look. Boom, boom. All right, let's sketch. Hey, I stepped away for a few minutes, but I'm back. Hey, that's awesome! I am so glad you're back. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. I appreciate your time. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna outline this in white. I'm going to keep some of it white. I'll come back with some other colors so it pops out more. Tomorrow's Friday. TGIF. TGIF. Thank God it's Friday. Um, it's been a— even though I was out of school, um, 2 days this week, it's been a— it's been a long week. I know this sounds kind of weird. This felt like a really long week. But we have— next week is our last full week before spring break, so that's cool. And I am so excited for my upcoming European adventure during spring break. It's going to be a fun, fun trip. Um, yeah, it's gonna be so cool. All right, so we kind of have like the Manhattan Bridge kind of blocked out here. Blocked out-ish. Let's show some of the— do some of the cross bracing on here. So I'm never trying to create lifelike, um, realistic portraits, painting, sketches, whatever you want to call them. That's not my, my thing, and I love people that can do that. I'm just trying to capture a vibe. That's all my goal really is with architecture sketches. If I can capture a vibe, I've done my job. So here I just want to— I want people to know if they see this, they're like, oh yeah, well, first of all, I want people to recognize that it's a bridge. And if they notice the Manhattan Bridge, that's even cooler. But a lot of people, you know, don't know the Manhattan Bridge. All right, cool. All right, let's throw down some other colors. I haven't— I've been really liking purple lately to kind of pull out shapes, so let's use some purple. Um, where are you located? Are you in NYC? Hey, good question. I'm actually— I am in New Jersey, so about an hour, hour and 15 minute, uh, ride from the city. So I'm pretty close, and I try to get to New York City. I try to get there at least once a month. It doesn't always happen. So I'm really blessed to live so close to one of the world's most incredible cities, and obviously I'm influenced and inspired and just love the, the architecture there. Good question. I feel like I want some— I want some blue on this one. I got aqua here. Let's see, aqua. Let's bring out some blue. Um, these Sharpie Creative Markers have been a game changer for me. I just love them because, you know, I work so fast with sketching that I— it just— they dry so quick. I love using watercolor as well, um, but especially if I'm out like urban sketching, these are just amazing to have because they're— they dry like really super quick. So I'm trying to pick colors that are going to kind of pop out from the background. That's one of the ways I'm just selecting colors here. Hey Cameron, good to see you. Me and Wren are both watching. Awesome, hope you're having a great, great vacation, guys. Wren, I've been seeing some of the pictures that you're posting. I am uber jealous. Hope you're having a great, great time. Definitely, uh, looking forward to when you guys get back. It'd be cool. Cam, hope you're having an awesome time. You know what, that explains why it was so quiet in class today. Hmm, it just hit me. No, I'm kidding. Hope you're having a great, great time, guys. Thanks for tuning in. Edie, I hope you're digging the vibe here. I'm kind of getting a grungy, um, which I love the grunge kind of industrial aesthetic. I'm almost getting like a grunge kind of vibe from these abstract backgrounds, which really lights me up, um, so much, you know. I think, I think Lincoln Center might be my favorite one in the sketchbook. I love Lincoln Center. And this background, the green was dirty water. That's how that green came out, and it just worked, which is awesome. Um, I don't know, it's followed very closely by the Oculus building, but this has just been a fun process. It kind of captures maybe that graffiti grungy kind of vibe that, um, sometimes we think of, right, in cities. One of the things I noticed when I went to Paris over for a few days over Christmas break, um, it was a cool, cool kind of training tour thing I did. Anyway, graffiti. Graffiti seems to be rampant in Paris, and I've seen pictures of other European cities. Graffiti seems to be rampant in these European cities, and I don't get it. Um, I mean, it's in New York City as well, but this kind of for me has a graffiti-ish kind of vibe to it. I know maybe I'm crazy, but that's what I'm feeling. All right, what else should we throw on here? Cam, Cam and Rin, if you have any suggestions, let me know. Let me know. And Edie, if you have any, uh, suggestions, let me know. I feel like throwing some red on here. I'm also— I'm really digging the white lately. So this is the Manhattan Bridge as viewed from DUMBO. DUMBO stands for Down Under— oh man, what does it stand for, my New York people? Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. D-U-M-B-O. Um, if you just Google or Instagram Dumbo, you'll see the classic iconic image of the Manhattan Bridge framed between buildings. Um, it's like the, probably the top 3 Instagrammable spots in NYC. And that's kind of where I had originally done the sketch from here was that view. Let's see, we got some kind of cables happening here. Pretty cool, right? Hey, it's still not why on YouTube. Great to see you. What do you call this art style? That's a great question. That's a really great question. Um, hmm, let me get back to you on that. Um, I mean, I would call it— it's definitely very loose, loose style, kind of grungy, loose. Um, City-inspired, so urban-inspired sketching, urban grunge maybe, or, um, I gotta think of that. That's a really good question. I was— I would say, I would say my style, but that sounds kind of obnoxious, and I'm not really an obnoxious person. It's, uh So something I kind of am working on developing. Great, great question. I feel like I need to pop this edge of the bridge out a little bit more, so we're gonna break out the purple. I think it's working. So you'll see, I'm just gonna kind of bring a line down and you can see what I'm saying. Does that pop it out more? Hey JLM, great to see you. Hope all's well. Love it, love a lot of people popping on the YouTube. That is so fun for me. Great, great seeing you guys. Awesome. I, I'm gonna look up something here. Give me a sec. So let me know, do you guys— do you like this bridge? Is it looking cool? I'm just going to change my tunes up here. If you guys want to follow along and listen to what I'm listening to, um, I think I have this shared playlist. It's called the Inspired Life 1 on Spotify. I can't play it over the speaker because I'll get copyrighted, but you can go on there and just— you can see the kind of music I'm listening to. And we're going to put on some Green Day right now. We all love a little Green Day, right? All right, so here, here's what this is called. I knew, I knew I had a term for it. I just not used to saying it, um, because I put on my Instagram page right here. I call it gestural urbanism. Gestural urbanism. So gesture— think of gestures like quick throwing down marks on paper, gesturing, strokes, lines, slashes, hatching. So gestural, and then urbanism because it has that urban-inspired vibe. So that's what we're gonna call it. Cool. You guys like this one? Let's put down some colored pencil on here. I love doing these mixed media sketches, so breaking out some colored pencils, my fave, fave colors, because people always— I get this question a lot, what are my favorite colors, colored pencils? Um, right here, my fab 4 are neon pink, neon yellow, chartreuse, and light aqua. So if I can only pick 4 color pencil colors, it would be these 4. And I am— they are not a sponsor. I am just saying this because I love their stuff. Um, these are Prismacolor. Let's see, Prismacolor Premier Can you guys read that? Prismacolor Premier— kind of hard to see— uh, color pencils. They're not watercolor pencils, just regular straight-up color pencils. Let's just throw some colors on here. Yeah, this looks cool. I'm really liking it. But more importantly, I'm just having a blast doing it. That's, that's my intention, guys, to sit down here for a little bit and just have, just have fun, right? What did I say at the beginning? Be playful. That's all I want to be right now, is just playful and throw down some lines, throw down some colors. And that, that's just making me smile. I kind of need some shading under here, some like hatch lines. Let's use this blue Sharpie, create like a shadow here. Maybe the bottom of the bridge. I'm gonna break out a white gel pen here. Let me zoom in a little bit. Zoom, zoom, zoom. There we are. I want to use white gel pen because I'm going to add some lines in here so you guys can see it closer. The more people here, the better. Edie, yes, yes, 100%. Let's get more people in here. I'm loving the vibes tonight. This is so cool. We got some new peeps in the house, so Still Not Worthy, thank you for popping in. And Edie, welcome back again. And JLM, you're welcome back again as well. This is really, really cool. Let's, uh, let's spread the love. Give me some thumbs up out there and share this, and hearts and whatever else you can do on the social medias. And I gotta sneeze. Excuse me. Yes, this is live. All right, cool. All right, this— I— here's another part I love. I'm gonna just do some, some scratchy lines on here. I love scratchy line work. I like this. Thank you. Cool. Yeah, let's get more people in here. Order a simple book on perspective, seems— I made a decision to learn urban sketching in 2021, found some old notes. Oh, that's awesome. I love to hear that. Um, yeah, I'm more than happy. Next time I can do a quick demo on how I like to do one-point perspectives, kind of loosey-goosey, not technical way to capture the idea of depth. Just grab a sketchbook behind me. Um, let's see. Let me see if I have— I think I have something in here I could show you. So here's my, here's my classic view of the Brooklyn Bridge. I love sketching this view, but this is an example of a one-point kind of perspective, right? We're kind of going back, kind of going back to a point, gives you that sense of depth. Um, what else? I know I have more stuff in here.

Here.

So this is— I was doing a, um, quick demo one day of a one-point perspective here. So imagine this is like you're looking down a hallway. Here's the floor. We're looking back towards a blue door in the distance. You can see how all the lines are kind of coming together, give that sense of depth. This— we're talking about two-point perspective here. Uh, actually it's one point coming back to the side here. It's not two-point. This is an example of a two-point perspective. This is the— in Brooklyn. It's Brooklyn Library here, branch of the Brooklyn Library. Two-point perspective is kind of coming down at angles like that. Boom.

All right, cool.

Hey, Sketches and Some, great to see you on Instagram. Hope you're doing well. Always great seeing you. I hope to see you this Saturday. I don't know if you're going to be, um, sketching, but I'm planning on going this Saturday. I'd love to connect with you and say hello for a few minutes. It's been a while. Thank you for your endless inspiration. All right, cool. So I'm liking the way this is looking, right? The Manhattan Bridge is kind of cool and fun. So let's do some scratchy lines with white gel pen. So my new loves in sketching are the white gel pens and the white creative marker. I'm going to zoom back in. Sorry about that, because I want to show you some detail. I like zooming in and out. Hopefully I'm— hopefully you're not getting dizzy at home. So let's just do some scratchy lines. Oh, I think this one needs to be replaced. These gel pens, they seem to go through pretty quickly. Or they just don't like me today. So I just want to throw down some scratchy lines. It kind of adds to the aesthetic. I like that loose, loosey-goosey, scratchy kind of mark-making sketch— sketches. So if I had to pick like a language, I think this would be my language, right? Just— oh, I'm sketching up here. You can't even see it. Right, just these kind of scratchy lines here. It adds a little bit of interest. And watch what I'm going to do here, right in here. Check this out. So over that nice dark purple background, we're going to throw some scratchy lines on top. It just adds another layer of depth, texture. Um, yeah, I'm getting— I'm, I am geeking out. On this. I, I'm definitely nerding out right now. Um, I'm that dude that likes to watch paint dry, just saying. Um, so watch when I do it here, right? It just adds a layer of depth that I really love. New York City is about energy, and I feel like these sketches are trying to capture that sense of energy. Do the same thing down here. Maybe you gotta be careful not to do it everywhere because then it loses its kind of power if I start throwing down these white lines in every location. So it's looking kind of cool, right? Feels like coming home here. Oh, JLM, I'm glad you enjoy coming into the chat here and popping in and chatting. Um, so many amazing nice people have been joining lately, so I appreciate y'all. I want pink. I want pink in here. Let me see if I can get my preppy to work. I don't know if there's an ink in here, or this is a Pilot. Yeah, this is a Pilot Varsity pen. Not replaceable ink cartridges, so they're disposable pens. But let's see, I feel like I want— if I can get it to work. Yeah, I kind of like that pink because it's popping a little bit more from the background. That's the reason I wanted to switch it up there. I really want these cables to pop out more. What color should I do? Let's go with red. We're going to use our— one of my favorite ways to add red is Pilot Precise Pens. I love the red ink in these, so let's do that. But I want to turn it sideways. I'm curious to see how this pages our drawing that we did earlier. There we go. All right, I got— I have to be careful because I'm getting to a point where I'm going to add— I was going to say add way too much, but there's already a lot happening and I don't mind it. Let's zoom out. Hey, he says, I am subscribed. Yes, thank you, thank you so much. Love it, love it. I appreciate that. So you can kind of see a zoomed out view. Let's put a frame around this, see what it looks like. The man says, as he looks for his frames, I got to get up, so pardon my, uh back here. My room is a mess. I am in the process of, oh, organizing paperwork and all that fun stuff. So if you hear anything fall off the desk behind me, that's why. All right, let's throw some frames on here. And we'll zoom in a little bit. Oh, oh my gosh, guys, check this out! Holy chihuahua! Ay, chihuahua! That looks, that looks pretty sick framed, doesn't it? Yeah, that looks awesome. Let's see. I'm selling the Brooklyn Bridge in case you guys are interested. Are you really selling the actual Brooklyn Bridge? How much? How much? Um, and watch grass grow. Um, I'd rather watch paint dry. I don't know about grass. Grass growing. I do like cutting grass. I like doing yard work, getting out there. Um, thanks again for subscribing, that's awesome. You made my day. So cool. I'm just going back. Edie says, I'm, I'm no introvert, I love having people around. Yay! I am an introvert, believe it or not. So after teaching— so I love— let me start by saying this. I love teaching high school. Teaching has been the most— besides, so I've been a licensed architect since 2001, had my own business since 2003. I don't do too much with it now, but anyway, I have to say teaching has been the most rewarding thing I've done in my professional career life. Um, it's also been, been the most challenging. Um, and I have some really amazing students that keep me going, keep me fired up. And I hope my goal is to be a door opener and let, just let my students try different things. You know, I teach architecture and I teach CAD, which I think of as like a product design type of class. If I can open doors and let them try it, I've done my job. Um, I don't even know how I got on that topic. I just lost my train of thought. But anyways, um, oh, introvert. So introvert. So after teaching, you know, 80+ kids, I have 6 classes, I'm exhausted by the end of the week and I just want to be quiet, which is weird because then I love going into New York City But when I'm in the city, I feel like I can get lost amongst the people. And when I sit there and take pictures or walk around and I sketch, I get lost in the crowd and everything kind of gets quiet in a busy city. So sketching is really powerful for, for me. Um, I've shared before about one-point perspective. Could you re-explain about eye line, vanishing point for multiple levels, please? I see, but don't connect eye to hand easily. Yes, yeah, we can get back to doing that. I'm gonna give a really quick, quick— this is a real quick one-point perspective. Like, this is ultra quick. So, a challenge— I'm happy to— we could spend like a— I spend a whole, um, show sometime where we'll just do like talk about perspective, but I'll do a loosey-goosey kind of Overview, but check this out. Uh, Grace on Instagram is asking me, do I like ice cream? Grace, I'm going to respond with a question: who doesn't like ice cream? All right, boom. Pretty cool, right? Let's check out how the abstract pages are drying, and then we'll do a quick, quick, quick and dirty 1-minute, 1-point perspective, low down. All right, so here's the abstract. This one's done, I think, guys. Love it. Here's how these are drying, and look what happened. That's okay. So then we'll be using these in upcoming days to do sketches on top of these backgrounds. Pretty cool. All right, let's do a quick one-point perspective thingy. So guys, let me know if you have any last questions, comments, thoughts as I wrap up here. JLM, I, uh, I love the question. So I love that you guys are asking this stuff. It's awesome. All right, let's just do— I don't know. We'll just sketch in whatever colors. All right, one-point perspective. I'm just gonna do a perspective. I'll talk my way through it. Um, just a caveat is I don't really do technical, precise one-point perspectives. I'm not about measuring. I'm not about perfect scale. I'm not about perfect proportions. I am about imperfection. Imperfection. That's my overall method— methodology is imperfection, which if you spell it, it says I am perfection. All right, let's do it. Let's break out some red. All right, one-point perspective, here we go. Ready? All right, imaginary scene here. So I like to start off— this is me personally— and also another thing, I like to see all of the lines when I'm sketching. I don't aim to ever erase. For me, every line tells a story. So another— that's why you often see me just sketch with Sharpies and pens. I don't erase. So you're going to see every line on here. I like to start with a kind of a frame. And then let's say that our point— we're going to call this, as technical as I'm going to get, we'll call this— this is the vanishing point. This is kind of where our eye is looking at in the distance. And the other technical term I'm going to do is the horizon line is here. So let's think of you're looking out at the ocean and you see the horizon of the ocean in the distance, right? All right, we're gonna make a little city street here. Um, think of this as a connect the dots game. Connect the dots. Again, you're gonna see every line here is some I would typically do a little lighter, but I'm just going to show you everything. You'll see where I'm headed. Everything's going to be connecting the dots, so we're going to connect the dot to there. Boom, boom, boom. Almost like an X shape, right? Let's break out some more red, I guess. Anything that is going back in the distance that's going away from us is going to play the connect the dot game. Um, so let me show you an example. Let's just draw, uh, the side of a building here. Here's a building. Notice this line is kind of parallel to that line. Now it's going back in the distance. I'm gonna— let's break out another color. Use purple. Now let's use blue. There. Anything that's going back in the distance will be the connect the dot game. So this will be the bottom edge of our building, and let's just say this is the top of our building here. Boom. Okay, and then let's say we have another building here. Again, we're not talking scale or anything right now, just to get the idea of depth. So we have another building. Notice Following that red, that parallel line there, and then kind of connect the dots. Maybe this building is like— maybe the top of it is like here. Connect the dot, right? I'm going back to that point, more or less. So we have kind of those two walls there. Um, just make them pop, we'll just color it in. You know what, we're just— let's just make this one, one building front here. Okay, so it's kind of our wall, and let's say we have a window somewhere in this wall and the doorway. Same idea, we're going to side of the door. We're gonna follow that, that line there. Here's the other side, make it higher. Boom. Then we're gonna do our connect the dots. So you can imagine this point is maybe, I don't know, the height of a door is like 7 feet. So you can raise that point higher or lower depending on where your eyes are looking. You know, a normal height person, maybe average height, would be what? 5.5 feet, 6 feet, well, maybe 5.5 feet, but I'm not worried about scale right now. I just want to get the idea of depth. Let's say there's a window up here, and I'm going to do the connect the dot game. Boom. I'll just color the door in white here so we have the illusion of kind of the face of a building going back. All right, I'm going to do the other side and I'm going to talk less. I'm just going to do it. And maybe in the distance we're looking at a bridge across here. I mean, some kind of archway here. So our eye is kind of looking through this arch boom, and then we have, uh, We'll do some kind of sidewalk maybe here. Uh, here's another trick with the depth and perspective. Um, if this is a sidewalk, here are the lines in the sidewalk. I'm kind of matching that line across there, the parallel, making it parallel. Further I get in the distance, the closer these sidewalk lines are going to get to help create the idea of depth. Let me just kind of pull that arch out a little bit so you can see it better. So that's kind of just a really quick, crude, um, down and dirty, like, idea of how I would create a loose style perspective. Hope that helps. So the only technical terms I really used were vanishing point, which is the point back here where we're looking at, and then we had a horizon line which was kind of here across where that vanishing point is. So hopefully that helps as a quick overview. Again, I'm more than happy we could spend an entire show just kind of talking more detail. There are books and books and books and books on perspective. As an architecture student, I have I have several of those books and they get really complicated, and— but some of the perspectives are astounding. Um, hopefully that helps. Cool. All right, see if there's any final questions or comments because this young man has to get to school tomorrow. All right. Put this here to dry tonight. All right, what do we got going here? Why can I move my chair forward? Um, deli pepper between sheets prevents stickage. Hey, that's a great plan. Yeah, I could definitely do that. Put it— deli paper would work in here. Yep. Yeah, or like a parchment paper. Good thinking, Lincoln. Uh, Inspire Life, you have a very soothing voice. Thank you. That explains why my kids in class are always falling asleep. No, um, I've had complaints that I'm too overhype in class. I'm too like to bring the game, to bring the game. I am very tired and mellow right now, but when I'm up teaching, I am constantly moving around. I never sit down when I teach. The amp— the energy level is amped up. But thank you, hopefully that's a good thing. JLM says, TY, thank you. You're welcome. I, I love talking this stuff. You know what's cool about talking this and answering questions is I'm learning more. It's making me think on a different level. It's helping me to learn to explain things, um, from my head, um, out to you guys. Just let me know in the comments before we leave, do you guys want to do a sketch along one night? If I kind of made a post and I said, all right, tonight we're going to sketch the Empire State Building, bring a piece of paper and a pen or whatever, markers, whatever you want to use, and we'll kind of sketch together on YouTube. Obviously I can't see what you're sketching, but we could do like a sketch along. Be fun to try sometime. Let me know. Awesome. And I see Grace left us on Instagram. Grace had that ice cream question, which was kind of unfortunate because now I actually would love some Chunky Monkey, but it is way too late and I don't have any here anyway. I'm a huge Ben Jerry's fan. Hey, talking about art is always time well spent. Thanks. Hey Edie, are you an artist? Let me know. Are you an artist out there? If so, what do you— what kind of stuff do you do? JLM, I know you're an artist. I always want to know what you guys are up to. So before we leave, just put in a chat what kind of work, what kind of artwork do you guys create? I'd love to know. So put that in the chat as I'm kind of cleaning up here. And wrapping up, and I appreciate that. Yeah, I'm sorry, I am, I am not a singer, obviously.

Let me see, I'm gonna pick—

I'm gonna— I think I'm gonna end the night with this song here. Um, one of my favorite songs of all time, and I don't know why I love this song so much, but I do, is Bittersweet Symphony. I love this song, so we're gonna listen to that as we wrap up. So hopefully you guys got something out of tonight, maybe a pro tip, maybe just a moment of joy or a moment of peace. Solitude, way to wind down your busy day. Maybe you got a creative tip or some kind of sketching tip, or maybe just connected with each other in the chat, which is great. I'd love to build this community and take it up another level, and it's great to see new people joining all the time, and I really appreciate that. And that's because you guys are being awesome and sharing and liking these I know you hear this in every single YouTube you watch, YouTube video, about hitting that like button. Um, it is, it is huge. Um, I have over— do I have 1,000 videos? I think I'm close to 1,000 videos, and, um, I've been growing, you know, viewers very, very slowly, and that's okay because I think I'm growing the right kind of viewers, and that's people like you that are awesome. You're caring, you're polite, you're interested, uh, you're creative. So I'd rather have quality, quality viewers than tons of viewers. Does that make sense? So thank you guys. I'm learning, I'm practicing drawing the human form in graphite. That's awesome, that is so cool. I'd love, love to see some of your um, sketches sometime if you ever want to share. Be cool to see them. JLM says yes to an inspired sketch along. All right, let's do it. Um, I am really— I am not good at sketching people. For me, maybe for fun one day I'll try to sketch a person if you guys won't give me feedback. It would be in my style, but yeah, but that's awesome. I love that. I started Zentangle in 2014, crafting in 2016, mixed media in 2020. I love that, JLM. I love that you're trying different things. That is, that is how we learn what we like and what we don't like, right? By giving it a try. All right, guys, I wish it was earlier, but I have to get up pretty early for school tomorrow. And I think tonight's been a really awesome night. Uh, clear pan pastel and a soft ink brush also prevents stickage. Oh, you have some really good pro tips. Thank you for sharing. Um, if I missed anybody's questions or comments, I'm sorry. And by the way, Edie, Edie, you did never tell us how much you are selling the Brooklyn Bridge for. I mean, I'm more than happy to sell the Manhattan Bridge right here. We're happy to sell this beautiful Manhattan Bridge sketch for $25. Sorry, I didn't mean to turn it into a sales pitch. Um, but anyway, if you guys ever do see any sketches I do and you're interested, they're always up for possible selling, and I'm more than happy to part with them, most of them. Why? Because I'd rather have them in your home where you can enjoy them, um, because that's what it's about. It's about connecting and sharing through art, right? And I also have a link on the notes, you can check that out. There's a gallery, I have some sketches posted there. I need to add more. Um, yeah, thank you guys so, so much. Are there any final questions? We're good. Until we met— until we meet again. Um, one more shout out. Thank you, Edie, for subscribing. 100% appreciate that. Awesome. Until we meet again, guys, sketch boldly, live creatively, and inspire endlessly. Well, I'm ready to negotiate. Let's start at half a million. Uh, dude, I think that's a bargain. Um, yeah, I'll let you know when I reach that first, first half of half a million. It might be a while, but, uh, thanks for putting that price tag out there. You're awesome. And a bag of chips. Yes, all that and a bag of chips. I almost was gonna name my architecture company All That and a Bag of Chips. But I didn't. That's funny you said that. All right guys, you're awesome. Until we meet again, sketch boldly, live creatively, and inspire endlessly. Yeah, I have to go to work even earlier and get another job or 3 or 10 just so I could buy the Brooklyn Bridge. I can sketch it for free, I'm just saying.
