How to Capture a Bigger Scene - Part 1

How to Capture a Bigger Scene - Part 1

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

On my Patreon Page, patrons voted for the next Draw Tip Tuesday subject. The option that got the most votes: drawing a Bigger Scene.
There are many ways to do this, so I decided to do this in a three-part series. Today: Part 1.

When you pick a spot where you have a clear foreground. Focusing on that foreground distracts you from the 'whole' and the many details. It will also be a less scary point to get started, and it will give you many landmarks to measure things in the background.

Find something that interests you to draw, and try this technique. Next week, we'll practice another technique to draw a bigger scene.

If you like my free weekly videos, then please consider backing me on Patreon. You'll will be helping me to keep consistently making Draw Tip Tuesday videos, and making them available for everyone for free:
