Very captivating and great instruction value video. At 8.02 minutes, it's apt to hold the viewer's interest focused and wanting to absorb the info. And decent commentary too. I like these short and well-made to-the-point videos. Thank you.
Yes! Thank you for pointing it the need to have different plans depending on your situation. I tend to over complicate my sketches when I am painting plein air. Keep things simple!
Fantastic work, and very useful for someone who is trying to draw loosely... The only thing I dont like is the use of violets and purples in every scenario... I would rather use dark greens and blues and greys for shadowing. Thank you for sharing this work.
My issue with having more than one plan is that, as a relative newcomer to sketching, I haven't spent enough time on ONE plan yet to become fluent enough to realize that I need more. For people sketching, shapes is one plan, silhouette is another; you've got silhouette plus shapes in this video--they all take a lot of practice. Am still having trouble with people...and cars!
@@SketchingScottie Thank for the reply! To answer, drawing shapes is the easiest, especially if I'm just adding the suggestion of people in an urban scene. For a drawing of a person/couple as in your example, I have followed your silhouette, head-length-proportions guides in your videos, but I can tell it's going to take a lot of practice to keep the figures from looking stiff and their limbs in proportional balance. Any suggestions for that?
That’s good to know shapes are easier for you👍🏼. One way you could practice is by filling a page with very small figure outlines. Then you could slightly exaggerate the angles and flow of the body and legs to make them less stiff. Simplify them with a circle for the head, rectangle for torso and simple shapes for the legs and arms. Hope that helps!
I explain some basics here: ruclips.net/video/g1rZpwBZL9o/видео.html Some other videos that could help: ruclips.net/video/M9lgTWO2MJk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/uUOs-GrTI3E/видео.html If you're absolute beginner and want some books I'd check out Andrew Loomis figure drawing book and practice sketching the proportions in pencil. I also like Tom Fox and his approach to sketching figures with a mannequin (he has a book as well). 👍🏼
Hmmm, I can tell the woman is a black woman but you kinda turned the black guy into a white looking guy, if you follow. Being black myself, I wouldn't of been too happy if you drew this of me and my girl.
Thanks for the feedback cakershake. Yes I wasn’t sure if I got he man’s face quite right in this one so it’s good to have your honesty. I will work on this more for future sketches so I can try and get those details right👍🏼
Thank you , just watching your quick sketch as a newbie artist took my sketching to a whole different level.
That’s so good to hear 🙌🏼😊
Discovering your channel has made it so much easier to draw humans , thank you so much!!

Thank you Sanjay🙏🏼
Brilliant. Thank you 😊
Damn, you make it look easy.
Thank you, Scottie! I like how you showed the red line shapes to clarify what you were saying!
You’re welcome Connie! Glad you found that helpful🤗
Great tips. The way you explain and show your process has really helped me level up with my own practice. It just makes sense!
That’s encouraging to hear Marianne 🙌🏼 All the best with your sketching!
Very, very helpful!

Thanks António! Yes good idea👍🏼

I love doing these❤❤❤❤
Your tutorials are so inspiring 👏 keep up the great work

Another self-taught newbie here. I like your approach, not intimidating. Looking forward to learning more and going through past videos.

Very good point Tom👍🏼 that has given me something to think about for beginners. Do you have a process you’re more drawn to when starting out?

Nice.. does this moleskine sketchbook takes watercolour as well as dedicated watercolour paper?
It's not as thick as good watercolor paper so not the best. For light washes it's fine👍🏼
I'm struggling with proportions! very difficult specially using a pen. any tips?

Never seen black people drawing white people.
