It took me years to figure out that my sketching style is ‘the unfinished look”.sometimes with “the impression of detail” This works perfectly with my travel sketching and urban sketching, which are all about sketching on location and capturing the moment.
Sometimes “the moment” moves on you. I often have just a scribble mark on the page. I either rub them out (you can sort of rub out watercolour pencil if your lines are not too heavy) or draw over them.
This week I revisited two sets of Australian Wood Duck baby ducklings over a few days, so I could continue to sketch them. They let me get very close (I stayed about a meter away) and sometimes they came up so close to me, at my feet. When this happened I just had to stop sketching and watch them.
Lots of half finished sketches below and I am happy with all of them
