Thanks so much for all your videos. I have NEVER sketched or painted in my life. I am doing it now and copying photos doing my take on it. I am amazed at what I have able to produce watching your channel. Heartfelt gratitude. I like your dot system - it is easy for me to follow.

[SteviePaints]

Thank you, Scottie! All of your tutorials are so helpful. My drawing of figures and faces has improved greatly. I love the use of the dots.

Another really interesting and useful video, Scottie. 
When you put put those dots in to show where a feature should be, I often think it looks too low or too high, but then you connect everything and it's spot on! Which just tells me that I haven't looked carefully enough at the proportions of a face. Another lesson in drawing what you actually see, not what you think you see.

This was amazing to watch . The way wach layer of paint builds on each other after drying is such a swell to watch 😚. Do you have pencil shading videos?

[ChantelleArts]

such an amazing tutorial, thank you for sharing ☺☺☺

[Bosski]

Interesting. I can't wait to check out the full tutorial, but this was really great as usual. Instructions are always doable, nothing too over the top and able to be replicated even by someone like me.

[rafaelatakami]

Hiii Scottie, I really liked your art style! Your content is very helpful and enjoyable to watch, cheers! :)

[indianahoosier]

I like this system but if you work from life or you work from a digital reference, you can't place dots anywhere to maintain visualization. So, how would you apply your dot system to, say, a reference you have on your phone?

Grear video Scottie. Thank you for all these videos you put out for free! Can i ask, when you create your circle, are you mimicing a loomis head circle? I.e. is the position of the circle on tour reference in the same place the same place as a Loomis head? Or is the circle placed more as an arbitrary location reference, just so you can make a comparative plot on your paper?

[SkyBaby-po]

What instrument are you using sir ?the name of instruments

[maryammohamed]

How do you decide where to place your circle? Or is it an arbritrary decision and it's just something to start a structure?
