When you really like painting,

Graphic Designer from UK

Phil Dean

In his graphic design work, it is very important to learn a good painting foundation,

This branch Support design work Long-term effectiveness.

Although it is the social trend of popularization of computer AI, Phil still insists on documenting paintings in a hand-drawn way.

Of course, his painting was not done in a day. In his long-term work as a mechanic, The ability to draw by hand is beyond doubt.

But Phil gradually began to become numb, and his day-to-day work made him become negative about life. Later, Phil added personality elements to his hand-painting.

That is, sketching on the spot.

During the nine to five weekends every day,

Every street scene in the city inspired him to go out,

Phil enjoys the pleasure of the scenery during his trip.

The streets of Zurich, Los Angeles, Malaga, San Francisco, Girona, Florence and Paris were all places he passed.

People who can paint are everywhere, which is extremely inclusive in art!

When a person has no high pursuit, painting must be happy,

A pen and a piece of paper are enough to meet the painting needs of a day.

Phil began to dabble in outdoor painting from design,

He likes to smudge the color in every detail with a marker in the complete sketch foundation.

In the painting, Phil's perspective on the landscape is very "classy",

In precise perspective, near is big and far is small, near is real and far is virtual, and some The spatial composition relationship with strong contrast,

This series of techniques are written by Phil Seemingly careless,

But makes people In such ordinary things, he is extremely excited and liked.

In the details, some people draw more and others draw less,

It has nothing to do with "right" and "wrong",

A lot depends on what the painters are trying to achieve with their painting.

Some people will go all out in detail, paint every brick like crazy,

While others focus more on outlining the colors first.

That's the beauty of sketching in an urban environment: that energy and excitement.

You want to try to capture certain elements of this and don't have to care too much about making mistakes-just keep creating and make the mistakes part of your final sketch.

In Phil's painting,

What's wonderful is not all how powerful he paints, but more about the capture of the details of different scenery in the city!

In life, enjoy the beautiful scenes that change rapidly in life at leisure,

Capture the vibrant, vibrant city scene and capture the bustling scene.

Phil always carries his trusty sketchbook and pen case with him, ready for all kinds of sketching needs.

Only when the tip of your pen is outlining the landscape are you truly integrated into the city.

What if I can't draw?

Because he didn't like painting mannequins, Phil began to study architectural landscape painting.

His teacher was a pure ink painter, but Phil couldn't control the characteristics of water well, so Phil used to outline with lines, and then shape with color on the basis of lines.

The teacher's best educational experience for Phil is to "boldly" finish every work.

Phil Dean says:

“ I spend a lot of time hanging out, hanging out on the streets, and I always have a sketchbook with me. In a city like London, it's hard not to be inspired by the surroundings-the city, the architecture, and the hustle and bustle.

With urban sketching in small towns, you just have to look harder for the subject-it's always there. Of course, big cities like London have an endless array of themes that will dazzle you. One of the things you'll learn living and sketching in London is that you get the most out of the city if you blend in. "

In Phil's memory,

Since he moved to London, he studied scenic creation and later full-time painting,

In seven years, Phil drew 50 sketches,

Just like a diary, it is a memory rather than a work.

Every day I find some favorite elements around me,

Even if it's a coffee cup or a book in front of you,

Sometimes you may want to fill the entire sheet of paper, and sometimes white space can also bring joy.

In short, habit is the only way you can stay motivated to sketch all the time!

Phil Dean, who has been addicted to painting for a long time,

With a large number of paintings, he printed a beautiful collection of works for enthusiasts to enjoy and learn.

Occasionally,

He also organized enthusiasts and friends to sketch and communicate outside,

It can be the roof or the top of the mountain,

Every moment on the corner, every place is able to become a studio where they sit down and create.

Perhaps Phil Dean's work isn't the best, but it must be excellent.

Sketching is the perfect remedy to get out of our always-on, digitally-oriented state of life.

From beginners to experienced artists, Sketching is a positive obsession,

Being present, doing one thing intentionally, and being engrossed in the moment.

When creating, it is difficult for the brain to do anything other than drawing and focusing on interpreting what is seen and translating it to paper through the pen.
