Draw Your Living Room

Draw Your Living Room

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

I've sketched my living room countless times, capturing it from various perspectives and viewpoints. Whether I've zoomed in for intricate details or zoomed out to capture the entire space, the process never gets old or boring. Each drawing turns out unique, with an element of surprise, even when depicting the familiar objects that surround us daily.

In today's video, I've documented the process of sketching my living room one final time just before moving to a new home.
By now, the move was about 10 months ago and I have already drawn my new living space many times!

As you watch the drawing process, I'll be discussing the common challenges we encounter when sketching interior spaces, whether we're seasoned artists or newcomers to this endeavor. I'll also be addressing questions that have come in from my students, patrons, and online followers.

Drawing Bingo
While I'm currently traveling and gearing up for a series of workshops in September, October, and early November, I still want to get you going - and keep you going! That's why I created a Drawing Bingo card just for you.
You may have already checked off quite a few prompts, but if you didn't download it yet, you can get it through this link.

Check off as many prompts on the bingo card as you can, aiming to complete one every day. I'll be here each week to offer that extra motivation to keep you going. Sound good? Let's go.
