10:13 was a bit hard

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Best thing about your teaching is even though you are quite advanced artist...you know how to drop down to basics for a beginner 😊

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks Sujanith🙌🏼

[@warlorddk2070]

This is no beginner couse this is intermideate at best. The basic shape part is at beginner level, but him drawing the van freehand without guidelines is a great way to teach students bad habits jumping several steps. If a beginner does the same thing its gonna look like a van with downs syndrome 😂

[@PrinceValium_TheRestlessKnight]

​@@warlorddk2070 That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read. It's supposed to be a loose sketch. 🙄

[@CronusTheTitan0]

i like this dude cuz he goes straight to the topic, no intros

[@pruthirajjena8839]

I think you should make more videos to sketch vintage cars

[@SketchingScottie]

Good suggestion!

2:28 he did good

Here, here!

Lol

[@misaelsousa6053]

This tutorial is AMAZING!!! It helped me a lot, and even the video showing advanced technicals, I could follow the steps and do the painting as well, thank you so much ❤

[@mohammadnzf]

I like the fact that you sketch so freely and easily. Thanks for sharing this fantastic tutorial! 🙏🏻

[@jenniferdoyleart]

I want to say thanks for being so descriptive in your tutorial. I just started with urban sketching. I have painted plein air but never urban sketching. The video was great for a beginner like me. I never had much experience in drawing and sketching and it holds me back so much. I was able to understand what you were showing. Thanks so much for your time. The kids sounded so cute in background. I have birds screaming in mine lol. You have a great day with your family ❤

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks Jennifer! Glad you liked the explanation 😊. Yes my daughter was playing close by haha. 🤗

[@jenniferdoyleart]

@@SketchingScottie she sounded so cute playing. I remember my boys being that young. They grow up so fast enjoy her being young. 💕

[@beautyqueen3244]

I have watched over 50 videos on how to draw a car , and at long last, I have found the best one here which explains how to get the correct perspective so well. I am really glad and thankful. I have came across many art teachers who paint well but have no idea how to explain things or they don’t have the patience to do it. U r one of those who can paint well n can explain the steps v clearly. I can’t wait to watch your other videos.

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks so much for the kind words! That is very encouraging🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@PrinceValium_TheRestlessKnight]

I recently bought a little 1970s Matchbox toy version of this and was thinking of sketching it. My all time favourite vehicle! This video has helped a lot. I sketched a Citreon van yesterday, and your tips would've really improved it. Especially about the tyres. Cheers, Scottie! 🎨

[@rusapenarts]

Cat driving the van was brilliant. Also, thank you for this! I've always had a hard time drawing cars and this helped! Now I just need to tackle buildings. I'm always lost on what details to include and what to do more suggestively so it doesn't look too cluttered

[@SketchingScottie]

So glad it's helped! More buildings to come too😉

[@handymotte9937]

Hi Scottie! I discovered your sketches today and I`m thrilled. I really like your way of drawing, it`s very helpful to enhance my simple sketches. My son drives an old Van and I`m looking forward to gifting him a painted Van very soon . He is now in vacation in Ireland on a roadtrip. Thanks Scottie and many greetings from Germany.

can ypu do a video on aerial perspective of cars and vehicles. This would be a helpful to stetch and paint cars on a street when we watch them from top example from higher floor of a building.

[@mecovassi]

I just saw your channel, and i love it!! I'm industrial designer but it's been so long since I don't sketch. You make me want to draw again, just for fun... Specially becouse watercolours Is muy favorite technique. Can I ask you what type of paper do you use? Saludos desde Argentina!!!!

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks Emilia! That's great to meet a fellow industrial designer👍🏼. I use Stillman & Birn Beta series sketchbook. It's 270gsm so it's good for watercolor and comes in many sizes. There are better sketchbook brands for watecolor but they are slightly more expensive and usually have 100% cotton paper but I am only doing a light wash so it is very good.

[@haythamelgohare]

What type of pen do you use? And did you empty what was inside it before using the other color, thank you

[@SketchingScottie]

I use a uniball vision micro pen for black lines and a Pentel Water Brush pen for watercolor. It comes empty and you fill it with water. Check out description for details👍🏼

[@JellyFishArt1201]

like like this...very nice 😊

[@ronbarton7799]

Thanks Scottie for the content. Great lesson. What book or website would you recommend for a beginner to learn more about perspective for drawing

[@SketchingScottie]

thanks Ron! Scott Robertson has some great books for drawing vehicles in perspective. also check out Stephen travers on KZbin for architecture tutorials on perspective.

[@ronbarton7799]

@@SketchingScottie Thanks.

[@simplemomentsart]

How would I determine the horizon line for a object in a photo if I don't know the angle the photo is taken like the van photo?

[@SketchingScottie]

One way of finding the horizon line on a subject is to find a line or a series of points on the subject that is perfectly horizontal. Eg if the bottom of all the wheels are in line horizontally, then the horizon line is at ground level (where the photo was taken). If the roof is perfectly horizontal, the photo was taken at that height. Hope that makes sense Ally

[@simplemomentsart]

@@SketchingScottie It does. Thanks!

[@pdfbro5118]

I always drew banged up cars because the body panels could be pointed any direction because I sucked at perspective 😅

[@7rodo]

Interesting compromise

[@robsonhenrique3329]

😍😍😍🤩

[@OctasLP]

What about the turning lights they are orange too you don’t color it

[@annipetratos]

It's so hard to not see a wheel as a circle

[@shadroid]

Right at the beginning, the instant you start freehanding those straight lines IN PEN, without even a mark crilley type apology or nod to the 99% of people who can't do that, you're undoubtedly miffing a lot of folks. Once you get the perspectives in though, some of your shapes are off by a bit and it doesn't matter. You might want to point this out and emphasize that's because the basic perspectives and ultimate colouring are what makes the piece.

[@KrishaKumar19]

Amazing but could you do slower next time...😊😊
