Ive really enjoyed your tutorials. A lot of them say they are for beginners, but in fact, these are good for experienced artists, who have perhaps taken a break and need a tune up, because things get forgotten and bad habits can creep in.

Great...especially, you included the sketch on the left side (Loomis liked) object, it is very useful for a beginner like me. Thank you.
Amazing work, Scott
Those are really great tips! Nobody wants to see my first 2 attempts to sketch a face though - but the third one looks reasonably good! Thanks a lot! Very helpful - now I will practice some more ...

Just remember that when you turn the face to 3/4 view, those dots will be closer together, among other changes due to perspective.
Just amazing!
Yet another genius cultivating his own competition
Whenever I draw a face, I usually end up with the character's face on the page / sheet with flaring nostrils and big lips. The character usually ends up looking like a caricature version of itself.
Your videos are incredible. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

Amazing. Thank you sir
I love your style and the fact that you undergo the process in a short time and enjoy it. I've always loved drawing and I've dedicated some time to it during my childhood and adolescence, but honestly I got frustrated that the end result wouldn't always be what I expected Then I stated studying it a little and I realized there was so many things to it and drawing started looking harder to me and I got downhearted about having to draw so many circles and guide lines. At first it was interesting and fun, but later I got frustrated once again Seeing how you draw motivates me to give it a try once again. I have a good sense of proportion and spacing now due to all those boring circles and guidelines and I guess your way of drawing will suit my anxiety. Any intentions of making a course on the future? Props to you man, your work is amazing

Thanks for sharing Danilo! Yes I know what you mean. It takes many many hours to master drawing as a tradition fine art so that's why I have explored these sketching techniques as an alternative. Taking simple principles from the masters and applying them to expressive, free flowing sketching. It's more about the experience of sketching rather than getting everything 'right'. I have plans to create a course next year as I'll have some more time 😊

Hey Scottie, another great tutorial! I've been doing this tutorial over and over again for hours and I managed get the ones looking straight ahead pretty good. However those side angled are a real struggle. I'll get those eventually, just need to keep working on them. If I could make a request, would be awesome of you made a tutorial on male, female faces on all angles. Like I mean a 360 angle face tutorial with up and down looking :D Keep the good work up!

Heya Scottie! You've really inspired me to start sketching and I've done a couple of ones now and while I don't stress to much about my alien claw hands... :) I DO stress about shoes. I cannot seem to get shoes right. They are always in weird angles or directions or top down views or from the sole up when the foot is tilted while sitting, just to name a few weird things we do with our shoes! Could you maybe make an indepth video about how you tackle shoes? Maybe it's too specific but I'm sure I can't be the only one struggling with it :)

I’ve been sketching with your method for weeks and I’m SO bad at it. It’s actually funny. My husband keeps trying to guess who I’m drawing. I can sketch the same face 8 times and it looks like a different person each time. Ugh

That dot method is a revelation for me. When I go in straight with pen (as I am known to do because I don't like dealing with graphite smudging) I tend to just eyeball it, wing it, and cross my fingers lmao. Sometimes it turns out good, sometimes it doesn't. I try not to be too precious about my ink sketches anyway though, If I really cared about making something that looked pretty I would use pencil underneath!
@SketchingScottie

😊good idea. Yes pencil underneath is great for more realistic or polished works. For these more quick sketches I've tried to add in enough structure while keeping it very loose👍🏼

You make this look so easy. I know it does come with lots of practice, but darn... it's super disappointing to get a really nice sketch and then a bunch of ridiculous looking ones on the same page. That is my struggle. Lol
What are you thinking when you decide not to join up a line, for example when you start on the left side of the face in the first silhouette? Thanks!
@SketchingScottie

Good question! I usually like to leave little gaps especially in areas where I'm not 100% sure if the line is right. Then I can look back later and see if I need to correct it or leave it as it is.
i dont really like starting from the outline when im trying to draw accurate proportions and forms tbh starting from the nose and spreading out by measuring proportions is always more correct for me, although i admit its way more slower. what do u think?
@SketchingScottie
Жыл бұрын
You're right, sketching this way is more for quick and loose portraits with simple line work. Each took me only about 5 minutes. If you want more accurate proportions and a more detailed style then you can sketch the way you do or draw some pencil construction first before the final line work 👍🏼
great
imho, I'd say the eyebrows distance apart is the ball of the nose not including the nostrils. :) Beautiful drawings. Thx for vid.

think of it as sketching the shadows rather than outlines of each shape. Less is more in this case. The viewers eye can fill in the rest. Outlining the lips/ eyes or nose completely doesn't look very nice in my opinion 😊
