Unfortunately, the most interesting things to draw are out in the world! If you want to draw these things you have to go out, stand up, and draw them in the field. Sometimes, it is possible to find a bench in just the right place or bring a chair with you. Otherwise you are out of luck. Unless, that is, you know how to draw standing up. If you are interested in field sketching, urban sketching, or nature journaling then drawing standing up is especially important.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Draw Standing Up: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Three Mistakes<\/span> to Avoid<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Get rid of your backpack! <\/span>For the best results you need to get a shoulder bag aka messenger bag. This will make drawing standing up easier, faster, and more comfortable. You can see some examples and reviews of such bags <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLQmEfhMZXgCihBLyoVFlNqb_XiM6IFKI6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in these videos.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Don&#8217;t use a soft cover sketchbook!\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">One essential aspect of drawing standing up is having a god way to brace your sketching surface. If you use a hardback sketchbook of the right size it is easy to hold your journal in the corner of your arm. Check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/marleypeifer.com\/dev\/journaling\/my-favorite-journal-for-everything\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">review of my favorite sketchbook<\/a>.<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Don&#8217;t use regular watercolor brushes! <span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you use regular watercolor brushes you will need to have an open container of water. This is really hard and inconvenient when standing up. Instead you should use Pentel Aquash Waterbrushes or other similar brushes. These brushes hold water in a small reservoir built into the brush.
