Always a joy to see your drawing process. It seems so simple yet so complicated. You’re definitely an inspiration for me to get into inking

[@SketchingScottie]

thanks for watching NuttiYetti! 👍🏼 all the best with your inking

[@MoniquevanDam]

Wow! I've just watched this with increasing astonishment...

[@SketchingScottie]

thanks Monique!

[@ashie8527]

I learn a lot from your videos, even feel fired up to try every single of them, since you make them look easy! Thank you so much!

[@SketchingScottie]

That’s awesome to hear Ashie! You’ll definitely improve that way🙌🏼🤗

[@diegoinjapan]

Very very cool. Time for me to pull out my fude pen and water colours again. Inspirational stuff!!

[@marjoleinvanderaa2317]

My man, you’ve taught me to be loose again with my inking. I’ve been sketching with ink like you do for the entirety of Inktober to experiment with how to make inking feel comfortable and fun. We’re halfway through November now and I can’t stop ink-sketching. It’s legit become hard for me to use my pencil now xD Thanks for inspiring me and showing me “da wae” (the way)

[@SketchingScottie]

🙌🏼 that’s awesome. Ink sketching can be addictive! 😊 All the best.

Thank you for the video, Scottie! I enjoy hearing your thought process as you go through.

[@SketchingScottie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kevingrant4837]

Another solid video. It's great to see how you approach a reference. I've been learning so much from your videos ever since I found you about 1.5 years ago.

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks for the support Kevin!

[@irinaglik1733]

thanks for video! I love this particular sketchbook, nothing beats this one for me, it's relatively small, great quality, fits my purse :-) thanks for showing your process with shadows drawing, faces are still challenge for me so I learned something new from you today.

[@SketchingScottie]

you're welcome Irina! Great to hear you're working on faces. I will post a detailed faces tutorial in future sometime😉

[@R_H21]

Thx for the inspiration! Just did it, had fun 😊

[@bambi8179]

Amazing work

[@raycarter4030]

after you’d dropped in the hair right at the start, I was fascinated to see what your exact next mark would be.

[@paunoonoo-art]

Hi, your work is so impressive. I just discovered you and I can't wait to watch more of your videos. And... I totally agree with you, splatters are always a nice addition 🥰

[@SketchingScottie]

Thank you!! That's great to hear😊Love messy splatters 👍🏼

[@caripete3]

Amazing!! You are such an inspiration to me! Your work is beautiful! Love the addition of the less detailed background. It all came together quite nicely.

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks a lot Cari! 🤗

[@Tsunami_Symon]

Amazing ink work! I've learned a lot from you, my ink is improving.

[@SketchingScottie]

thanks! 😊 that’s so awesome to hear 🙌🏼 keep up the great work!

[@andiwguitarplay1128]

So amazing!!! Beautiful work!

[@MS-up1jn]

Awesome

[@cartoonblock]

I love the idea of you using purple as the shadows. What tool did you use at 11:40 to dab in the white paint?

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks! That is a small rag I used to wipe up a mess I made haha and then dabbed it back on the sketch to make some texture😊

[@cartoonblock]

@@SketchingScottie Thanks. I’ll definitely borrow that “rag” technique from you😄

[@SketchingScottie]

@@cartoonblock go for it!🙌🏼

[@tamos_tj]

As always, great work!

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic video Scottie!

[@SketchingScottie]

thanks a lot, appreciate it 🤗

[@devdasnayak3009]

I love your art please tell me which pen you use for drawing

[@SketchingScottie]

Sure I'm using the Pentel Pigment Ink Brush Pen (extra Fine) amzn.to/3BXGHys 👍🏼

[@analeward6168]

It really looks easy in the video 😃 But we know it's not easy! It's so hard to catch that line. I can't do it yet(( But you make it look adorable. 🤩

[@SketchingScottie]

Thanks Ana😊

[@stewartfraser2740]

Good video, as usual, one query; how did you isolate the 3 figures onto the one reference photo? I would maybe try Canvas's background remover on two of them and place it on a third photo alongside just one character, as you showed, but I don't know if that would work.

[@SketchingScottie]

thanks Stewart! I did something similar to what you described but I used the new feature on iPhone where you can hold your finger on a photo and it can cut an object out and save it as a transparent png file. Then layered the two figures in photoshop on the third image and extended the background behind. I could have selected around the figures in photoshop but would have taken a lot longer.

[@stewartfraser2740]

Thanks for the reply: I'm an Android user so that particular back won't apply, but the concept of taking different elements from photos to compose an original is an idea I can run with, along with others on your channel as I take up urban sketching. Keep up the good work.

[@seniorpz1969]

Hey Scottie! Question.. I'm a lefty and have trouble drawing profiles facing to the left. Any suggestions or exercises to do to remedy that problem? Thanks.

[@SketchingScottie]

Hi! hmm that's a tricky problem! So you find drawing profiles facing right easier? It might be the order you draw each facial feature and the fact that your hand covers some of the drawing as you go so you can't see the proportions. So maybe reverse the order you draw for the left facing head. E.g. start at the back of the head and draw the silhouette and then eyes, nose and mouth last. Just a suggestion!👍🏼

[@seniorpz1969]

@@SketchingScottie hmm..never considered drawing a profile from the back of the head first..its like we were programmed from early age to always start with a face , then head, ect.....good idea, I'll try that. Thanks!

[@devdasnayak3009]

Please kindly tell me which pen you use for

[@SketchingScottie]

Pentel fude brush pen medium tip👍🏼

[@agwheeler2000]

@11:38 burp??

[@SketchingScottie]

Hahaha no it’s not! But it does sound like it 😂 It’s because I made a big white blob on the page with the Posca pen and made a funny noise in frustration but cut it short and didn’t explain it. 😅

[@agwheeler2000]

😂 That makes more sense. Burping on camera didn't really seem like your style.

[@Moodboard39]

Awesome work
