You last two videos have been excellent for drawing in public. Thanks for the measurement tips, I had never thought to do that as people tend to move so unexpectedly. Thank you for sharing this advice.

Those point references are very helpful for getting the proportions, but this will need a lot of practice in my case!

2023 resolution: keep a sketch journal of things I mostly see in public. I'm a beginner, but these videos are putting me at ease. I am kind of perfectionist by nature, but it's sinking in that these are just sketches and by definition are not meant to be perfect.

I think it's very interesting, that you're sketching with outlines. I'm currently trying to learn how to draw and the standard advice is to always try blocking in the basic forms (cylinders, boxes, spheres), which make the character and then draw on top of these. Is that something you've also done, while learning? Or have you always focused more on outline copying?

Can't wait for Easter holiday so I can practice your technique. Love it ! Cheers mate. Greetings fr Cairns, Qld.

Amazing dude!! I always wanted to work on my figures sketching. Looks like I have found perfect place for that.😊

[nidiapearson]

Very inspiring, I want to run to my sketch book and start drawing!!!

[manjusquare]

Thanks Sir! I learnt the way you draw and enjoying it a lot. But instead of watercolor wash I m using color pencils. But effect is great. Thanks again.

Really helpful tutorial- many thanks 🙏

👏🏼 bon cours de sketch, I like : merci beaucoup. Je vais essayer ....😉

[pjlewisful]

These are proportioned out so well ...just amazing. However, I feel it would be so much easier to use pencil and eraser. I like when you color them in, as well.

Hi, Can you doa video on Hairs ? I always fidn it messy to draw curly or wavy hairs or how to actully draw the volume of hair without overdoing it and that too for short sketches where we onlly draw simple and minimal lines like you are doing.

Nice! The Uni-Ball pen is thrifty and effective, but we wonder if you have a preferred brand for pigmented or India ink sketching pen?

[lizoliver]

hey mate, where do you get your references from? I'm trying to get better at sketching but i don't know the search terms

[jackieconnell]

brilliant, i see lot of artists are now using ink over pencil, also sketching with outlines, is a great way for a beginner to start sketching but with a pencil you can wipe out if you make a mistake will ink wipe out?cheers

Where do you find your references? I struggle to find references with casual poses

[sujanithtottempudi]
