What is a loose sketch?

Here is a painting I did from Toby Sketchloose’s YouTube tutorial. Simple lines, 2 colors, LOTS of FUN! It is so fresh and loose — and easy to do! Toby can show you how on his YouTube channel and courses.

What is the prize?

Our sponsor this week is Toby Haseler (Toby SketchLoose) One random winner will receive lifetime access to Toby’s Developing Line Work and Mark-Making.

This course includes:

5 workshops
more than six hours of video
30 pages of handout
You will learn the most important concepts in sketching

If you want to try a free course, sign up for Toby’s Ten Days of Sketching. You will receive one email a day for 10 days with lessons. Toby breaks it down into very easy-to-follow steps. You will be surprised that YOU CAN SKETCH. 🙂

Lose the fear, be free and learn how to have fun with your art again.

Where to find Toby:

About Toby:

“My name is Toby, and I’m an ink and watercolour artist with a loose and spontaneous style

After years of struggling to ‘find my style’ I recognise the struggles we all have in too much self-criticism, worrying about the outcome, and forgetting just to enjoy ourselves.

That’s why I started SketchLoose – to help people gain skills, confidence and rediscover how to truly enjoy creating.”
