An artist finds inspiration in anything and everything that catches his eyes, thus carrying his portable sketch book to capture the realistic view of the scenario.It helps to find the most suitable format for the composition, contemplate errors and modifications. It also examines the reality into simplified shapes and add value to the same. Interestingly it is not confined to any specific art tool. It gives the artist choice of using pen, pencil, charcoal etc.

The subject for sketching can be anything that is either static or dynamic but remember human figure is a subject that helps you strengthen your gesture sketching skill.The most important aspect of Sketching is observing your subject. Just glancing on the subject is not the rule but to keep your eyes intact on the subject. While sketching the eyes should be focusing on the subject and only quick glance of your drawing should be taken. A careful attention has to pay while sketching certain gestures, to your pencil and what your drawing on the paper but resist your temptation of looking at your drawing and trying to correct what you have already drawn.
