So very helpful in this particular style, even after I've been drawing for 30yrs, Thank you keep up the great work.

I have been watching one of your tutorials after another over the last two days. Just amazing how helpful they are to me.

[JoanKentBible]

Thank you. Your videos are really relaxing to watch and your drawings are beautiful. 😊

Your videos have really helped me be less afraid of urban sketching and just drawing people in general. Watching how you evaluate space & proportions in a simple way has helped me loosen up in my sketches which makes drawing less intimidating and more fun so thank you!

I like the way you simplify the head. The way of not connecting the lines. I think I get it but it will be useful if you do a tutorial on simplified heads.

This is by far the best tutorial of drawing people I have ever seen ! Thanks ! I love your channel Scottie

[carolynmitchell]

I absolutely love it! I want to loosen up in my style and feel inspired to try this. Thanks so much

[yilmadellelegnabebe]

You are so simple in your tutorials and I have found this to an absolutely amazing help. Thanks so much? Can you include some sketches of nature and wildlife in your tutorials? I am into nature journaling and your method of capturing silhouettes quickly would make it an excellent approach to capture nature quickly. Thanks.

It's just wonderful! It's so interesting to watch the unbreakable line. There is no construction, there is only one line) and there is such lightness in your sketches that you want to consider them 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks a lot ☀️

[PauliePizza]

I love your style💗❤💞💖💘. I'm getting watercolor Saturday. I'm gonna practice this for 1 month strait. I'm gonna practice on sketch paper just the silhouette and when I get better I will do it in a nice book like you have with watercolor color. I can't wait!!! Thanks so much for your vids they are very calming like your voice. I hope you have a great life creating beautiful art.
