SKETCHBOOK TIME 4 ✷ Drawing houses from MapCrunch with one pencil and no eraser!

In today's video I'm using the website MapCrunch to find some houses to draw from around the UK. MapCrunch is a great illustration tool for when I want to draw scenery or buildings and need some reference material or inspiration. This 'Sketchbook Time' is 30 minutes long, so grab your sketchbook and draw along with me, or just put me on in the background while you concentrate on whatever else you happen to be doing! I'm talking through most of it, so it's great if you want a bit of company while you're working.

For this sketchbook page, I decided to use just one pencil (I chose a Caran d'Ache Luminance in Payne's Grey) and I wasn't allowed to erase anything! This means that I'm just enjoying the illustrations as they develop, without worrying about making them perfect or overworking them. I'm calling these my Wonky Houses, because when you draw in this way you just have to embrace the wonkiness! I think that it gives the buildings a certain character and charm, and I'm loving it. (Although the last one did kind of go wrong). 😂
