Sketching Tiny Details: Finding Inspiration In Everyday Objects

In another video for the “Tiny Moments” online course campaign, Susan Yeates demonstrates how to discover creative ideas in the small, often overlooked details of everyday life. She encourages viewers to observe their surroundings closely, highlighting how everyday items can serve as rich sources of inspiration for sketching. The editing is designed to feel engaging, instructional and further giving a sneak peek into her upcoming course “Tiny Moments”. The goal when editing this video was to create a calm, focused and instructional experience that mirrors Susan’s teaching style. By using clean cuts between her direct-to-camera explanations and close-up shots of her sketchbook and objects, the editing ensures that viewers can clearly see her process while feeling personally guided by Susan.
