URBAN SKETCHING Tutorial For Beginners | Easy Step-by-Step Shop Front

[@jimcoon]

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!😉

[@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.

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

[@SketchingScottie]

You're very welcome!

[@linmorris3368]

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

[@q5123]

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

[@johnfehringer]

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…

HI SCOTTIE! COMING HERE TO YOUR CHANNEL NOW! AND I LOVED THE FIRST TIME I SEE AN ARTIST GO STEP BY STEP, FROM CONCEPTION TO HOW TO MAKE THE TRACE. AND I CONFESS THAT IT WAS A LOT OF MY DOUBT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! ONE MORE SUBSCRIBER. I'VE BEEN ON YOUR INSTAGRAM AND YOUR WEBSITE TOO. THANKS.

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]

This is one of the best line and wash tutorial i have seen. Great teaching! Thank you!

[@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!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@SkyBaby-p8o]

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.

[@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 👍🏼.

[@skratchforce9785]

@@SketchingScottieI jumped into a sketchbookbecause of you. Thanks man

[@MissBloodyCarry]

thank you for your great tutorials. i love the building tutorials most

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

I sketched and painted along with you. I love the outcome. Especially with the Chinese lettering. Very detailed and fun. Thank you.

[@pandaguan]

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

[@Scrabbledat]

These colours are so beautiful. Really drew my attention!

[@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.

[@reanozeon9459]

Great tutorial thanks

[@MarcoRuschkowski]

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

[@Caparzo_11]

What pen and what caliber are you using?

[@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.

[@ps1538]

This was awesome, thanks. What pen do you use? Currently I use fine liner markers and I'm not really a fan of their feel/ink flow

[@SketchingScottie]

[@izzyg8316]

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.
