How to sketch PEOPLE quickly & accurately!

[@BugPatrick]

This tip helped SO much! Legit tried it today and my sketches compared to the other day have drastically improved. Thanks so much for sharing this

[@SketchingScottie]

So good to hear! Keep up the great work👍🏼

[@tylervincent934]

I never even attempted free-hand figure drawing before coming across this video. I definitely surprised myself and it didn't look half bad! Thank you for sharing this technique, it was a real joy to do!

[@SketchingScottie]

That’s so good you gave it ago! I’m glad that you’re happy with your work 😊

[@dharmangersch421]

I watched this video yesterday and something just clicked today. Since then I've drawn fifty little people and I'm proud of all of them. Both from photos and real life. Seeing how you draw gave me confidence that I could also see in this way and wrangle the overwhelming visual stimulus of reality into cute little pen sketches. This way of drawing is a visual metaphor for making sense of the world, of seeing what matters most. Thanks Scottie!

[@elgobert]

For those who did not understand: Step 1: Draw the dots. Step 2: Draw the sketch. And viola you are a certified artist.

[@team-zracing7476]

Can you say f-a-c-e-t-i-o-u-s ?

[@sacton2264]

FYI: voilà

[@hendywijaya3213]

Wow, I can imagine the placement of every limbs and the models' pose just from the dots. Thank you, this so helpful!

[@ambibambi09]

This has been GAME CHANGING!! I have always been so intimidated by figure forms and getting the proportions correct. Thank you thank you!!

[@vincemedlock]

I'm always awed by people who are confident enough to sketch in pen. Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@awild93]

this has honestly been way more helpful for me understanding proportions than a good majority of other videos.

[@Eternal-ReTuning]

This is a game changer for portfolio builders. Thanks you so much for the demonstration.

[@captain4318]

I really love this kind of sketches, I'm gonna grab a small sketchbook just to fill with this kind of quick drawings! Absolutely amazing, thank you!

[@ilizrdz]

I will certainly have to try this technique. Thanks for sharing!

[@vivianbunch1963]

What an easy and great method. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@ruthdallas6125]

Best simple method to sketch real people I've ever seen. Thanks.

[@crowhoptech]

So many people have said "7 or 8 heads" but breaking it down specifically like this really clicked for some reason, especially the "knee is 1.5 heads down" part. Thank you!!

[@hecforev_14]

literally drew the most perfect person with this WHATT? ITS MAGIC!

[@Connarhea]

What an amazing video. You get straight to the point, show fantastic (and varied) examples, and you make it look so easy. I can't wait to try this later.

[@AtharvaPachori-uo3kb]

THANK GOD I FOUND U AGAIN DUDE ITS BEEN SO MANY YEARS SINCE I LAST DREW FROM HERE

[@thebeehutt]

Thank you. That was really helpful. Starting to sketch again after years, so needed such tips!

[@lynnhughes]

I have always had problems with sitting figures. This was a great help.

[@kieranoconnor333]

I love how causal looking this style is :)

[@philipwilliams6307]

This was brilliant, I'm sketching again after 16 years and to say I'm rusty would be an understatement. Today we were tasked with sketching a live model, and boy was I struggling to figure out how to best capture his proportions. I'll definitely be trying to develop using your technique as it seems it'll be very useful, especially with enough practice.

[@tearren1]

This is brilliant. Thank you so much for this lesson.

[@garimaghosh3966]

I just realised after watching your free hand sketch video that all the while I was right!! I thought this style is not by the books ,but you made me realise that art is a personal style of expressing your imagination and not just following rules blindly... I thank you infinitely .... You gave me wings ❤️❤️❤️

[@emmanuelpower2439]

Best sketching tips for people i have ever come across😊😊😊

[@powermom74]

This is so helpful. I love to watch you sketch and I’m definitely going to practice this. Thanks so much

[@SketchingScottie]

That's awesome to hear🙌🏼

[@laurewinkelmans9501]

This is such a valuable video, really helped me refresh on my sketching.

[@pilgrimspromise1132]

This man loved connect the dots as a child and never stopped playing it

[@artofpuj]

Thank you so much for this. I dread sketching people, and your style and tips definitely makes it simpler. Cheers

[@SketchingScottie]

That’s great to hear!👍🏼

[@MrMichaelkopa]

Thanks!

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks a lot MK! Appreciate it😊

[@bllewis52]

Dot approach verses boxes means less erasing. Dots help you to better measure distance.

[@fffuuuiiis2948]

Super tutorials. I've been taking a figure drawing class, and was taught the traditional approach of the stick figure and the bone structure. Spending 10 minutes learning your 4 dots is worth 3 months of classes I had. The light color washes at the end are very nice too. FWIW I prefer using a fountain pen to get some variations in the lines instead of using a marker. In any case, I subscribed and have to remember to check your tutorials often. I learn a lot for sure.

[@SketchingScottie]

That's great to hear this method has helped you! Thanks for watching😊

[@sasa_candyy]

This is the most useful advice I ever learned about sketching people! Thank you so much!

[@muhamed20-wo1gu]

His voice is so relaxing, ❤

[@justmejhbmed9778]

Thank you for another great lesson. Simply explained and beautifully illustrated. All I need now is a lot more practice. Thank you Scotty.

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks a lot! All the best 👍🏼

[@BonnyRoni]

Hi Scottie, your teaching is the best I’ve heard and seen so far. I’m learning a lot. Veronica in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@SketchingScottie]

Thank you 🤗

[@blanejnasveschuk6351]

Love the simple efficient analysis, easily and cleanly applied! TY

[@ordinaryimages]

Excellent tutorial! Providing the pinned reference photo is very helpful.

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks! Glad you liked them

[@stevegreenfield6631]

Thanks! This should help me with drawing semi abstract figures for my backgrounds.

[@tamiwithani]

Really admire this loose style. Thanks for the info. Lots of support from Trinidad and Tobago

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks so much Tami! Thanks for the support🤗

[@lisamartin3798]

Thanks!

[@SketchingScottie]

thanks so much for the support🤗❤️

[@mandrew31]

Im actually making art i can be somewhat proud of thanks to you, i really appreciate this video

[@BarryBrennan-yu7yc]

Cool techniques for sketching PEOPLE in no time! Gonna try this out and see if I can improve my sketching skills. Thanks for sharing!

[@timotheuspeter734]

That was really helpful, thank you. One problem I tend to have is that without the security of line such as you display here, it is still difficult to get some satisfying results, especially at such sketch-outlines.

[@Iz1e-games]

The dots are such a big help i can do loose SKETCHES NOWWW WOOHOO

[@crafteariee]

thank you so much for these tips, Scottie! I remembered another cool artist I look up to use these tips for his approach to ink sketching and your guide has been a wonderful help to keep in mind! It’s a fun approach that’s also applicable to other subject matters as well, Hope I can improve my ink drawing abilities so I can continue enjoying the process more freely and share my love for drawing with others too!

[@neslkril]

This is the best sketching tutorial ever

[@keimaye]

This is soooo helpful, I work best when theres a pattern or system in place - and this is perfect!!! Thankyou

[@jervinmateo]

Just found this video and I cant wait to try it later! This is so goood!

[@sdcasbah]

This is great. I am learning that proportion is so key. It can really free up your creativity in a way. I understand the method for figure standing up. I am struggling a bit with the sitting down. From what I understand it's head to knees, knees to feet that determine spacing? So any angle really from head to knee determines the directionality of the lines. I think I may have just answered my own question 😂

[@salilweling]

It's pleasure to watch your video which is different style which helps to draw fast and accurate drawing of people.

[@gillesker]

Awesome method! On the second character, if I'm right, we're more on a 2.5 heads ratio for torso. I've checked on photoshop and this seems to be the right proportion more than 3 Heads.

[@Ladysmyth]

Great way to work things out!! Wish I knew this when I was teaching: my students would have loved it!

[@Charcoaledmarmalade]

Omg your so talented and I’m extremely envious

[@manjirapaul4202]

I do struggle a lot while sketching humans. They always turn out looking very cartoony. Shall definitely practice this method of yours .I am sure it will help me. Thank you for sharing.

[@sherryb1997]

Just found your channel today. Loved it!

[@marisangiovanni]

I love learning from other artists- thanks for the great tips!!

[@harshawindenergy8151]

Just came across this channel and I like your drawing style

[@danielalvarez-arevalo688]

First time I see this way to approach the figure. Can’t say to the effectiveness since it is new to me. Seen David finch comic book style of doing figures, bean method in proko videos, skeletal method, and gestural with line of action method which I learned. Many method, guess it depends on which one clicks with a person easiest.

[@SketchingScottie]

yea you're right! This suits quick loose sketching from observation, like urban sketching etc.. Those other methods are great for structuring a character for comics/movies or building figures with pencil for fine art drawings.

[@higherandhigher5848]

Your method is very helpful. Thank you.

[@nimaflorio5502]

I’ve just found your channel and I really love your videos. They’re so helpful and your style is very inspiring!

[@SketchingScottie]

That's awesome to hear!

[@unkrautgartenkeinnachname237]

oooh, I love this! I've been an illustrator for a while but I always struggled with drawing people. Somehow the 8 heads method never stuck with me, bc I can't deal with the 1/3 of this or that, I'm looking forward to try your method. Thank you for sharing :)

[@SketchingScottie]

You're so welcome!
