What is Sktchy?
It''s an app that you can upload photos, called inspirations, for others to use as a reference for drawing, sketching painting or whatever medium they prefer. You can also upload your own artwork that you created from the photos that inspired you.
I've uploaded 30-something inspirations and have posted two sketches from photos I've found on Sktchy.
My latest sketch, a beach and pier scene, I turned into a quick 2-minute video on my YouTube channel.
Here's my Sktchy Video on YouTube. Click on either photo to watch the video.

This is the photo of the pier and beach scene I sketched on Sktchy. The photo was uploaded by Nicolas Hosking.
For this sketch I used an A5-sized sketchbook that I use for doodle, thumbnails and general practice. I rarely use watercolor on it since the paper is quite thin but using a Pentel waterbrush works pretty well.
For this sketch I used a JinHao X750 Silver CT Fountain Pen with a medium nib and Platinum carbon ink.
For the watercolor I used a Pentel Aquash waterbrush and M. Graham watercolors.
