Drawing & Sketching Practice - “Warm Ups”: Lines, Circles, Ovals and Curves, and more…

In this video I bring you through the steps of warm ups for sketching. 

As usual I drop some nuggets of tips and tricks to help you make better progresses. You will learn about warm ups with lines, circles, ovals and curves. And how you can create intermediate variations along the way and on your own. For example varying spaces and line weights, and sizes, etc. 

Feel free to pause after each warm up section so you can continue with more practices on your own, or simply just taking a break to digest the contents. Or if you are quick enough, follow me through the entire video without stopping.

At the end of the warm up practices, I’ll attempt to identify a meaningful profile from the ‘mess’ and turn it into something comprehensible and familiar. If you are adventurous enough, follow me through to creating a 3D form out of that.
