This is the seventh lesson in the Learn to Sketch series! In this lesson we’ll focus on landscapes. I’ll show you how you can approach sketching landscapes and what you can think of when creating your landscape, like textures, line weight, working from big shapes to small shapes, creative freedom, etc.

I’ve added the exercise file I used during the demonstration. Of course you can also grab your own reference images or go plein-air sketching!

This is the sixth lesson in the Learn to Sketch series! In this sixth lesson we’ll focus on textures. And in our exercises we’ll put the main focus on just texture. That way you won’t get distracted by shapes and angles for instance. Texture exercises are great to loosen up and get comfortable with your pencil.

I’ve added the exercise file I used during the demonstration. Of course you can also grab your own reference images or find different textures to sketch around the house.

This is the fifth lesson in the Learn to Sketch series! In this fifth lesson we’ll focus on angles and exercise sketching subjects from different angles. You can easily practice this by sketching household objects. We’ll practice seeing the basic shapes as 3d shapes in different angles.

I’ve added the two exercise files I used during the demonstration. I’d highly recommend sketching from life for this exercise though. But of course you can get started with the exercise files. You could also make your own reference images by photographing object around your house. (the photos I used are from Shutterstock and can be used for practice purposes only).

This is the fourth lesson in the Learn to Sketch series! In this fourth lesson we’ll focus on adding interest to your sketches and drawings. We’ll do this by adding variety to line weight and adding irregularities. We’ll practice this by sketching fruit and vegetables.

This is Flo’s Fundamentals! In this series I show how you can paint different fundamental subjects. Pieces of the puzzle you can use in your digital paintings. In this third class we’ll be diving into the subject of fur!

In the first part of the video, I’ll talk about the theory. What are the characteristics of fur and what do different types of fur have in common? How does fur flow and what colors should you use when painting it. I’ll also explain how less detail can be more and tell you on what areas you should focus.

In the second part of the video, I’ll be doing a demonstration and show you how I approach painting fur. I’ll be demonstrating four different types of fur. I’ve attached the study files, you can use these to both check my work up close and to make your own study. I would also recommend checking out my Pinterest Board with fur reference images. Try making studies from different reference images to improve your fur painting skills! And if you ever struggle or have questions, please feel free to reach out. I’m here to help!

This is the third lesson in the Learn to Sketch series! In this third lesson we’ll focus on line weight. How can you add variety to the line weight in your sketches and drawings and where should the light and heavy lines be? We’ll practice adding line weight variation by sketching organic shapes like branches and rocks.

This is the second lesson in the Learn to Sketch series! In this second lesson we’ll focus on measuring. What and how can you measure? We’ll look at some images and think about how to measure and compare lengths, angles and more. I’ll tell you how I look at things and turn them into sketches.

This is the start of Flo’s Fundamentals! In this series I’ll be showing different fundamental subjects. Pieces of the puzzle you can use in your digital paintings. In this first class we’ll be covering clouds!

In the first part of the video, I’ll talk about the theory. How can we observe clouds? What are characteristics of clouds and what do we need to keep in mind when painting them?

In the second part of the video, I’ll be doing a demonstration and show you how I approach painting clouds. I’ve attached the reference image I have used for this demonstration. I have found it on Pinterest. You can browse Pinterest to find loads of lovely photos of clouds. You can find my board full of clouds here: https://nl.pinterest.com/artwithflo/clouds/

This is the first lesson in the Learn to Sketch series! In this first lesson we’ll start with the basics – Geometric Shapes! We’ll also discuss why you would want to sketch and how to improve your sketching skills.

We’ll focus on recognizing and sketching out the basic shapes like cubes, cilinders, pyramids, etc. You can practice recognizing these shapes even when you’re not even drawing!
