5 autumn subjects that are actually easy to sketch š
Autumn is honestly one of the best seasons to sketch. I think š
The light gets softer. The colours go warm and rich. And suddenly there is beauty absolutely everywhere you look.
Here are five subjects to try this week. Pick one. Just one. And start there.
1ļøā£ A ginkgo leaf - that perfect fan shape, all golden
2ļøā£ A pile of wet autumn leaves on the pavement
3ļøā£ A small cluster of acorns still on the branch
4ļøā£ Red berries - bright and glossy against bare twigs
5ļøā£ A single mushroom, honest and quiet and perfect
And there is a sixth one hiding inside the carousel. It is a personal favourite of mine for this time of year. Swipe through to find it.
You donāt need to draw them perfectly. You just need to look at them long enough to really see them. That is what sketching does, it slows you down just enough.
Set a timer for 10 minutes. Pick your subject. Start with one line.
