Same subject but two different sketches and approaches. Which do you prefer?

I actually like to do both, depending on mood and subject. Let me know what you think!

    I love how this video shows another art hack: comparing your old works to your newer ones rather than comparing yourself to others
  • @Kiotaart
    I really like the way you color, it's truly harmonious.🤩🤩🤩
  • @skuzuu
    Amazing sketches! I just can`t choose which one is my favorite. You are an inspiration to everyone who loves urban sketching. Keep the good work!
  • I'm enjoying you today. Your confidence and ability to stretch forward with quickness and agility. You help break up the day with confidence and always a pleasure to watch. Thank you.😊❤️❤❤🎉

    I am fascinated by the simplicity, calm and your extraordinary skills which soothe me and inspire me to start sketching… since I’ve wanted your videos, I have started to look at buildings and areas in my city and suburbs, with different eyes. And (I’m trying to snapshot some nice spots, while driving through the city…psssst!). Thank you
  • They are both nice! If I could only choose one I think it would be the second one! It’s so free! Love it! Thank you for your full length videos!
  • @yolandacarter2791
    Love love love everything about your videos, Jillee. Your calming voice loaded with lots of tips is so therapeutic and ranks as highly as your beautiful art. You have given me more belief to trusting the process.
  • @bethcrane5780
    Just beautiful. Really like them both for different reasons. Thanks for bringing us along!
  • @VanessaPipiripingo
    Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate you showing how to mix the colours first, as a beginner, it helps a lot. I already practiced with one of your videos, inking first. It was fun to do. In this video I like both sketches but I think last one a little more because it looks more loose. It is a little more scaring painting first and then inking but I'm sure it will be fun too, I'll try! Also I find your videos very relaxing, your voice and how gentle you are while painting 😊
  • @Taka_Takata
    Great! And thanks for boosting my willpower. I prefer the 'wash first' building, and the 'line first' tree...
  • @danielc2530
    I agree that the second sketch has more details in the color, but I would still choose the first one because of how clean it is. It just calms me down looking at crisp artworks.
  • @rosskey5481
    I found this very interesting and enjoy they way you share your thoughts and approach throughout. I like the first painting the best although both are lovely in their own way. Thank you for sharing.
  • @dianecharest8365
    You do this exactly how I wanted to do this. I never did get it right and now I moved on to acrylics. I really did love urban sketching tho. You did that perspective great. Your work looks really good. Thanks for sharing with everyone.

    A note on water-resistant fountain pen ink: water-resistant, in this context, means ink that remains legible after being exposed to water. the ink might still smudge and bleed. as long as enough remains to read the text it is 'water-resistant'. for art, you generally want 'waterproof' ink. Platinum Carbon black has shown itself to be the most waterproof ink available for fountain pens. keep it in a well sealed pen. if it dries out inside a pen, the pen is now ruined. this goes any water-proof ink
  • @donatfairs204
    Both are fantastic. You have a true gift of painting along with freehand sketching and drawing skills. Enjoy the videos.
  • @jemmashome
    This is incredibly beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I’ve been trying to pick up painting, and your style of painting seems more forgiving for beginners cos even if we paint out of the line, it’s part of the style! Looks really beautiful 🥰
  • @sadiaahmad7180
    i prefer the one which you did in this video, it gives a more lively feel and the tree in my opinion looks way better because of the shading.
  • @Itbillie
    Jilee I recently found your channel and I get so happy whenever you post, so relaxing whenever I’m drawing. You’re doing great :D
