This tip helped SO much! Legit tried it today and my sketches compared to the other day have drastically improved. Thanks so much for sharing this

I never even attempted free-hand figure drawing before coming across this video. I definitely surprised myself and it didn't look half bad! Thank you for sharing this technique, it was a real joy to do!

I watched this video yesterday and something just clicked today. Since then I've drawn fifty little people and I'm proud of all of them. Both from photos and real life. Seeing how you draw gave me confidence that I could also see in this way and wrangle the overwhelming visual stimulus of reality into cute little pen sketches. This way of drawing is a visual metaphor for making sense of the world, of seeing what matters most. Thanks Scottie!

Wow, I can imagine the placement of every limbs and the models' pose just from the dots. Thank you, this so helpful!

[SafinOurousa]

literally drew the most perfect person with this WHATT? ITS MAGIC!

[elgobert]

For those who did not understand:
Step 1: Draw the dots.
Step 2: Draw the sketch.
And viola you are a certified artist.

This is a game changer for portfolio builders.
Thanks you so much for the demonstration.

This has been GAME CHANGING!! I have always been so intimidated by figure forms and getting the proportions correct. Thank you thank you!!

Hi Scottie, your teaching is the best I’ve heard and seen so far. I’m learning a lot. Veronica in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I really love this kind of sketches, I'm gonna grab a small sketchbook just to fill with this kind of quick drawings! Absolutely amazing, thank you!

[vivianbunch]

[emmanuelpower]

Best sketching tips for people i have ever come across😊😊😊

[vincemedlock]

I'm always awed by people who are confident enough to sketch in pen. Great tutorial. Thanks!

[powermom]

This is so helpful. I love to watch you sketch and I’m definitely going to practice this. Thanks so much

[thebeehutt]

Thank you. That was really helpful. Starting to sketch again after years, so needed such tips!

[lynnhughes]

I have always had problems with sitting figures. This was a great help.

[philipwilliams]

This was brilliant, I'm sketching again after 16 years and to say I'm rusty would be an understatement.

Today we were tasked with sketching a live model, and boy was I struggling to figure out how to best capture his proportions.

I'll definitely be trying to develop using your technique as it seems it'll be very useful, especially with enough practice.

[artofpuj]

Thank you so much for this. I dread sketching people, and your style and tips definitely makes it simpler. Cheers

[tearren]
