Great tips! Starting with a silhouette is an excellent way to incorporate the page boundaries into the sketch from the beginning, and not run out of room! We love the full-bleed image that spans across the spine- no hesitation, use every inch! Nice!

The distance splitting method for the body shapes is simple and really effective, but I'm sure a lot of practice would be required to do this and get it to work well. The face minimal details technique is a great tip, I always mess these up by trying to put in too much detail that then makes the face look very weird...
Time for practice and more practice. With these videos you've given me a great guide that I reckon I'll be able to learn and put into practice for my urban sketches. Thank you Scottie.

Love your work, Scottie. Your line work is so energetic and fluid. Thanks for making this longer instructional video - I'm going to start practicing right now!

This is fantastic! I like to go out sketching people on the move, but I'm never fast enough to capture the entire body. This is going to be very helpful.
