Modified Pilot Parallel Pen and Urban Sketching Demonstration

Join me as I create a quick and expressive urban sketch using my modified Parallel Pilot Pen! In this video, I take you through my process of sketching a street scene, focusing on composition, perspective, and watercolour techniques to bring the sketch to life. From initial lines to final highlights, I share insights on capturing the essence of a scene without getting lost in the details.

I explore how to use loose, energetic brushstrokes to build depth and texture, demonstrating how shadows, colour layers, and even small elements like wheelie bins and motorbikes can enhance the composition.
