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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

This way of thinking aloud is the most appropriate one in teaching painting. Thanks a lot.

I love the style, and the real time creation is incredibly compelling.

The first of many artist YouTubers I've watched to give me hope that I could (eventually) do something like it myself.

Plus a wonderful 'joy of painting' vibe, bonus!

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.

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

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

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.

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

[nancyfairbrother]

Now THIS is a great drawing tutorial. Thank you, Scottie.

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

19:39 this is so valuable and relaxing process

Excellent video on building proportion! 🙏

This is like watching a slow motion magic trick.

This is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. 💜

The end result looks better than the photo. It was also interesting to watch you construct the drawing with dots and "on the fly' measurements. Excellent work. Well Done Sir!
