I’ve supported myself quite well as a fine artist now for 45 years and there’s always something new and challenging one can learn if you humble yourself to the process. Been enjoying your videos Scottie with the easy light play by play banter. I watch them rather than TV before bed and enjoy the whole experience of someone else doing the driving while I simply sit back and enjoy the ride. Thank you for that…

Well….guess I can toss my straight edge. I’m 70 and have never purposefully drawn an imperfect line in my life. And not using pencil to start? I’ll have to get a prescription for Valium. This looks like it might make my sketching (such that it is) fun! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise, Scottie.

[@SketchingScottie]

haha there’s always time to start!😉

As a beginner this type of tutorial, with sequential steps, gives me hope that I can have a go so many thanks.

I'd love to see more traditional Japanese architecture sketching in general. I find them so beautiful!

[@confuciansakai]

A great teacher can make complicated/scary things easy to understand. Thank you Scottie for the tutorial

[@SketchingScottie]

You're very welcome!

[@jas8815]

It's absolutely fascinating to watch you take such a complex subject and work on it line by line in such a relaxed manner. I love that your approach is so laid back and that it ends in something so delightful. Thank you so much for sharing this.

The biggest problem i usually faced when drawing is trying to make it perfect , down to the last detail , but this video disproved me otherwise.

[@Maulik_TheRealOne]

Hi Scottie, i have developed this hobby of urban sketching after coming across your channel. Your explanations are quite simple, yet detailed. Today i completed this sketch as well....Thank you so much!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@nancydavidson4899]

I’m primarily a water colour painter but I just love looking at pen and wash shop fronts. I took some photos of very dilapidated shop fronts in Singapore but then wasn’t sure how to approach the painting and drawing bit. So excited to see a really good tutorial that will help me. Thank you so much 🙏

[@SketchingScottie]

All the best with your sketch 👍🏼

[@anuruparamachandran8620]

I love these urban sketch projects! Well done once again, Scottie!

[@Lydia-gf7dz]

Super helpful! You are a very good teacher. The line demo will help me get the right proportions, and the wash demo really helped me understand how to mix to get the right effect. Thank you.

[@Jaqaroo]

That was great, Scottie! Really nice sketch.

[@skratchforce9785]

I've watched 3 or 4 of your tutorials on people sketching and my sketching skills have drastically improved. I'm gonna watch this video later, and I'm gonna look to see if you have anything about animals lol. But you have gained a subscriber from your incredible tutorials. Great tutorials. Love them

[@SketchingScottie]

I’m glad your people sketching has improved 👍🏼.

Thanks Scottie, a great step by step tutorial.

[@roberta207]

Very interesting!! Thank you for sharing😍

[@pandaguan]

The hardest part is getting over the mindset that it should be drawn exactly the same.

[@johnnybegoodau]

That lantern is killing me! And yes I‘m "cheating" because I‘m using a pencil

[@mchlup]

Hello Scottie, what type of ink are you using in your pen? I've watched a few of your videos and noticed it's totally smear proof when applying watercolours. I have a pen that's supposed to contain waterproof ink but it still smears a bit sometimes.

[@lallover]

What is better sketchbook or sketch pad

[@SketchingScottie]

I like to use sketchbook for outdoors and sketch pad for indoors 😊

[@user-gb1ny6sj9b]

From where we can find a good photos like you. Because I was searching then in Pinterest but I can find a good one.

Hey, Scottie. I was looking at Academy watercolor paper by BaoHong and noticed their paper comes in fine, medium, and coarse textures. Which one would be better suitable for urban sketching? As a beginner, I fear the more coarse texture might be too rough for pen work, but probably wonderful for watercolor alone. Any thoughts?

[@SketchingScottie]

probably medium or fine. I'd stay away from rough as it's more for watercolor only. Easier to sketch with ink on fine textures 👍🏼

[@izzyg8316]

@@SketchingScottie Thanks, Scottie. I've placed an order for the medium grained one for the time being. Next order, I'll give the thin grained one a try for comparison sake.

[@TeWhero]

You just make it look too easy
