This is a landscape colour sketch I used as background for a short comic.
What I think about while sketching any object is:
- shape of object
- light sources and direction
- shadows
- find multiple references for same object
- colour hues and values
- direction of strokes
Last, but not least, while in the sketching phase I always find it helpful to let "mistakes" happen and let them be. At times when I do get stuck on these "mistakes" I tend to get so focused on them and get deeper into the details I forget the bigger picture and never manage to finish any pieces, because of the perfectionist mentality. Remember it is just a sketch.
As Bob Ross used to say:
We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents.
