Practicing my sketching....

​​Back to practicing my sketching with @Tobysketchloose also known as @TobyUrbansketch. I'm following one of his free online courses just to help me loosen up and learn how to sketch. I do a lot of different art but sketching hasn't been one of them so far. I want to learn so that if I'm out and about and I have a little sketch pad with me I can just quickly sketch what I see. This isn't something that I've tried before and it's something that I didn't think I could do so I am now learning to do it. It's really a matter of training the eye to look at things differently and training the brain to see it differently. 

I was reading something another artist wrote and he said that if you turn the picture you want to draw upside down, let's say a shoe for example, then your brain, instead of seeing a shoe, will see the angles and lines involved in the shoe. Apparently this trains your brain to see things not as their actual thing but as the parts that makes up the thing.
