You always make me want to go straight to my studio and draw.

[@SketchingScottie]

yay go for it!🙌🏼

[@minoosingla6102]

Absolutely happens with me 😊

[@Nenelleth]

And me too 😍🤝 Happy painting! 🎨

[@jeffreyross8855]

Thanks 🙏🏼 love the steps Very helpful

[@jeffreyross8855]

And Dots thing

[@pch2230]

It's lovely to see someone teaching freehand drawing so clearly. Too many people new sketching believe it's beyond them and opt for tracing/grinds instead.

[@paintboxplayer8810]

Love the “construction dots” & how you give the context of it being a simplification of the Loomis method. This makes so much sense to me. Also I appreciate how you clearly tell us to let the paint dry before proceeding.

[@pieromattirolo5430]

I loved the tip to start with a circle with a central point. It makes a lot of sense both as a drawing reference, as well as for correctly positioning the centre of interest.

[@NetGhe]

You made this look so accessible. A few dots! Who knew! I have to try this right away. I’m hoping to get much more human looking faces from now on 😁. Thank you so much.

[@justme9818]

This is a great tutorial, Thank you so much! I really like how much she feels like the person in the photo. It's amazing how you achieved it with such a simple composition. - I'm very glad to have found your channel!

[@NorbertGrill]

The approach with the 4 points as a reference point for a circle and building up the other points for nose, jaw etc. is very good and memorable. Many thanks for the great tutorial.

[@jonr6680]

I love the style, and the real time creation is incredibly compelling. The first of many artist KZbinrs I've watched to give me hope that I could (eventually) do something like it myself. Plus a wonderful 'joy of painting' vibe, bonus!

[@SketchingScottie]

Thank you so much 😀

[@VixSy333]

Totally charmed!!! Inspiring and instructive… maybe I will sketch today!!! Thank you🤗💕

[@marykendrick4304]

Your great instruction has given me the confidence to draw/paint my granddaughter’s favourite basketball player. I thank you. She thanks you.

[@TxMimi]

I love this tutorial and your descriptive commentary. I love watercolor paints but am never able to do it w/o mistakes. I think this method will help.

[@montecaramelo9335]

Very beautiful, she seems like she is looking at you 😊

[@brendadoyle643]

Such a clear lesson on drawing. Thank you so much.

[@Indalof]

Fantastic ! What a vidid portait. Thank you for this great lesson

[@Alex-xk1vu]

Just found you on KZbin and immediately subscribed. I struggle with loomis terribly and this seems so much easier!

[@jakbind]

Brilliant! Thanks for breaking it down so well

[@timdedecker]

Your style is so beautiful! Keep up the amazing work!

Hi Scottie. I sketched and painted this figure with you. I really enjoyed the process. I just keep practicing. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@mariagalvanherrera4718]

Thank you so much for sharing your approach to portraits. She came out soft and playful and with a great likeness to your reference!

[@bullshittt9404]

This makes sketching much easier now, thank you!!

[@heidilorenz3517]

Ahh, that was a really fun little tutorial I liked the format and the way you approached the subject! Thank you!

[@creativewah]

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@PurpleMountainArts]

I love using loose sketchy pen with watercolor! It's great to see someone doing this! I will definitely be watching your videos! I could use some improvement! I haven't done many paintings with people.

[@esraleibold2749]

Love it, quick and easy. Thanks

[@harpo627]

This was fun and very helpful! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@briannakline7495]

This was so easy to understand, and I loved the style of learning. Thank you

[@kacher7334]

Thanks for thiese tutorial Scottie. More challenging for me as a beginner, but more satisfying task at the same time.

[@Walker-no8kf]

Great job! I failed on the jawline and nose on the first go around but nailed it the second time. I love following along and doing these at my lunch break. Keep em coming!

[@gavinkaufmanworld]

Absolutely love this!! Thanks so much for sharing 😁

[@joannjones4875]

Wonderful demo, I'm going to try it out with a project I was thinking off

[@jennyomalley7634]

I;m in my 70s and just started sketching , I'm mesmerized by what you've just done. Will now slowly try and copy you.

[@manthasagittarius1]

Exactly like you. Just starting to learn now in retirement. This step by step process is really working. Slows everything down to little doable steps.

[@melindaavila498]

Thank you! She is lovely!

[@phillipdridge9775]

You make it look so simple. ❤❤❤

[@DJCowHide]

That was beautiful! Thank!

[@lesliwilliamson42]

Thanks so much. Your instruction is really helpful & I love the end result.

[@scarlettsangel8043]

So simple tutorial and very easy to follow. This is what I need. Keep up the good works. Thanks so much!

[@barbarahenn-pander5872]

The points were brilliant. Curious to learn more!! 😎

[@cmbarch]

Love your vids. They are always truly instructive, with very clear and simple instructions, unlike others which are just a recording of the drawing. Thanks.

[@rociocruz2786]

So lovely a face,a really useful and interesting vídeo,thank you!❤

[@lauragallego1960]

WOW!!!!! This is just amazing, the way you explain, there is technique behind even though you seem to put it easy! Thank you so much I cant wait to try this!,!!!! Thank youuu❤

[@patrickhalloran5985]

Really liked your method . I’m sure it looks easier than it actually is . Thank you .

[@nicoledorion9567]

Magic created with a Master's touch.

[@rararara7009]

Wow... Best tutorial I've seen. I can only make a face forward facing. I've watched the Loomis way of drawing faces but yours makes so much sense. I didn't think of a square inside of a circle

[@hardybeverly]

Wonderful instructions!

[@catherine9774]

Wow! I’ve had many drawing classes in the past and could never catch on. I feel I can try your method and have a face look like a person instead of an alien. Thank you so much for these wonderful methods. I will try again now that your method has inspired me. During all my watercolors, I would avoid people…now to try again.

[@LePetitChatNoir79]

This is brilliant! Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@lauralaladarling3775]

Wow, Thank you so much Scottie. You are awesome and I have never seen a better tutorial to analyse and explain in such clear detail, follow the dots, how to approach a portrait of this difficultly. Only a joke about the follow the dots; you make it look relatively easy, at least possible with practice, but your artist skills are amazing. Thank you so much for generously sharing your drawing and water colour techniques. ❤❤❤

[@user-vq5ls5um4n]

Awesome tutorial Sir, so much to learn.Amazingly done in a very specifically detailing way. Thnx a ton. Regards

[@LuisAlvaradoR]

Al fin un tutorial que uno puede seguir!!!!

[@PENFOLD1962]

Definitely going to give this method a go. I'm finding the hair especially long hair and beards really difficult. Thank you for sharing the video.👍😷👍

[@PencilTVHowtodraw]

Very simple and good explanation. I can learn to draw with you. Thank you!

[@MathinusG]

I've been drawing for a long time (not saying I'm any good), you've streamlined the process very nicely! Going to try your wy.

[@ellencha5975]

I’m going to try that, good lesson.

[@aleksitanninen]

Helpful as always ;) thank you Sir!

[@roire]

[@carolwebber9247]

You make it look so easy.

[@Anikanoteven]

This was extremely well explained. Thx!

[@robertgalena1816]

I followed along and, while it certainly was not a masterpiece, this method helped me produce a portrait much better than any of my previous attempts. Thank you for sharing this great method for portraiture!

[@maryweas6385]

INCREDIBLE! 😍

[@samSwift-gv1rl]

This is the first time I have watched your channel and you have really inspired me, I will be watching more 🙂👍

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

I will too. Simple directions, easy to follow ✅

[@lalystar4230]

[@randicommand2453]

Love it!

[@amy19355]

I like this approach and am going to give it a whirl!

[@GKganesan]

Excellent.You make it look so easy!

[@chamilrathnayake]

This is a great tutorial!

[@michelhamel5435]

Ive been watching your vids for more than a week now. This is what I needed to understand the proportions, your technique is great and simple. Thanks !

[@SketchingScottie]

you're welcome! Glad it's been helpful 👍🏼

[@deepakk1944]

Awesome tutorial!

[@afafyounaki608]

What a great way of teaching to drown 👍 👍 thank you so much, I love it a lot 👍 💐

[@henmich]

Excellent proportion demonstration. I teach drawing and it's shockingly elusive for many artists.

[@MiMi_Artgineer]

Beautiful !!

[@elizabethgoodhand7828]

Great tutorial. Thank you

[@newlilly]

very very helpful! thank you so much, you are awesome

[@truepotential206]

Wow that was beautiful to watch. I need to get me some water colours now

[@kmorgan6890]

Thank you for doing these videos😍

[@manelfernando3004]

Wow! Beautiful work. I wish if l was talented like you are!!! I am going to give it a try. All the steps explained very clearly. Thanks a lot.

[@Shandria2]

Very inspiring! So first of all, it is super hard to do these lines, especially human shapes, in one go without a sketch. The method with the dots is very helpful! :) Second, I love the style, because my own lines are always way too clean and have zero dynamic, while this is the exact opposite. I hope I can learn to draw more more like you. I also just love how these very loose lines and the water colour become something very lively at the end. It's a wonderful process, thank you for sharing!

[@cartoonblock]

Thanks for another great tutorial

[@sinikkasvard8874]

A great video!

Loved it

[@dianecharest8365]

I love the use of the dots that you use. Very helpful. I dont know what it is with the loomis method, but i cannot make a pretty girl.

Interesting way to approach it. Nice to figure it out

[@hebinoana]

very calming video❤

[@soosangles]

I really enjoyed this - will be following you from now on. Yeeee!!!! Sue from Sydney

[@OIP_1]
