Thanks for watching! Check out PART 2 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6TPg5uKicyWr5o (for more complex figures)

[@Blick_Art]

Great tips! Starting with a silhouette is an excellent way to incorporate the page boundaries into the sketch from the beginning, and not run out of room! We love the full-bleed image that spans across the spine- no hesitation, use every inch! Nice!

[@SketchingScottie]

😊 Thanks Blick! haha yes I don't like wasting paper!

[@markdonovan1540]

The distance splitting method for the body shapes is simple and really effective, but I'm sure a lot of practice would be required to do this and get it to work well. The face minimal details technique is a great tip, I always mess these up by trying to put in too much detail that then makes the face look very weird... Time for practice and more practice. With these videos you've given me a great guide that I reckon I'll be able to learn and put into practice for my urban sketches. Thank you Scottie.

[@thainlin]

My sentiments exactly! Thanks Scottie

[@sheilasinghal2922]

This is fantastic! I like to go out sketching people on the move, but I'm never fast enough to capture the entire body. This is going to be very helpful.

[@SanJacintoArtGuild]

Thanks for sharing. Silhouettes and simple proportions.!

[@smolenbyy]

This has helped my people skills so much better seeing your silhouette technique I always would draw the heads and struggle with the rest if it’s not accurate to the rest of the body, so simplicity and such is something I’ve learned to better embrace as a perfectionist lol

[@SketchingScottie]

that’s great! thanks for the feedback. Yes often my simple, loose sketches look a lot better than the ones I try and make perfect too 😆

[@ernestea6730]

Haha, you made it look so easy! But seriously, man oh man, this makes so much sense, and I'm switching to this approach. I'm going to toss in the trash what I have been taught so far about figure drawing, with stick figures and human bone structures and cylinders and what not, they kept me from progressing for the longest time. Thank you.
