How to start a Landscape Sketch

In this video, I show you how to take a photograph and break it down into simple elements that can be transferred over to start a sketch.

I started this with using a photo reference that I took a few years back. I printed it out and used that as a reference. If you do not have a printer, you could always use reference images from magazines or books and then just use some tracing paper on top of the image and extract the major lines that way.

I start by picking out major lines within the image to break it down. After which I use those lines in my sketch. This helps a lot with the placement of the overall objects as well.

You can also change what is in the original image. Just because it is there does not mean that it has to be that way. Of course it still can be the exact original. changing a few things up helps to make the artwork of your own creation and it helps build up your creativity.

I hope this video helped you all out and I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks everyone!
