When i get frustrated with my art. I come to your channel to get inspired and remind me to just enjoy the making art. I love your work. ❤
So do I ! Back to simple lines always work 👍
Great tutorial! The Sailor fude de mannen is very versatile. You can flip the pen upside down to get even thinner lines. I use the original cartridge it comes with. I just fill it up with waterproof ink using a blunt syringe. It holds more than the convertor. I also draw with a Lamy Safari medium nib, Pelikan M205 Fine, Uniball Vision(eye), Mitsubishi Uni-Pin and Pentel pocket brush and Pentel Colorbrush.😊
They are great little sketches! I adore my twisbi but I don’t think I would be able to do such small faces, that takes skill.
Excellent... so much fun and miniature likenesses are "good enough". I do journaling and am mostly writing but recently began drawing... but it must be fast because the words are the most important. Your methods will assist... almost cartoon-like and I can add words to the people I'm drawing...Total fun! Thanks. I'll look at your channel after I finish this comment.
I like to use a micron when I'm painting and the Uniball when I'm sketching! I love the style of all of these little portraits but I actually think my favourite is the third row down, I love the loose black and white style ❤
thanks for the feedback! The Sailor pen makes the portraits really stand out 👍🏼
Thank you so much. U make it seems so simple and easy to understand. I am gonna try this technique ❤
Amazing work as always scottie thanks
Excellent demo. Thanks Scottie.
AMAZING video! Thanks
WOW, love this approach
I like the microball. Thanks for sharing.
Love the uniball look personally! =D Thanks for this video--it's great to see how other artists simplify things down. Cheers!
This is a really useful approach to faces! Thank you for sharing, will definitely try this!
Brilliant.very useful for drawing a decent set of features on small figures. Thanks.
Great tutorial !
Hi! I loved your tutorial and thank you so much for sharing 😍
It's really useful sir thank you.. Pls do more videos like this👍
I really like the thick lines of the Sailor Fude, and how much ink you can lay down, it's quite loose and really is more of a "suggestion" type of sketch. My personal fave of the bunch, but I also quite like the Uni-ball and the TWSBI ones as well.
I feel like a sketch utilizing the best aspects of all of them could make for something really interesting.
Yea the Sailor can lay down a lot of ink quickly! There's probably another Fude type fountain pen out there that can do the details a bit better than the Sailor so I'll have to have a look around.
So cool.... need to practice
Thank you for sharing this nicely explained approach. They look so interesting and have so much personality even tho they're very simple. Beautiful lines man!
I can honestly say that this is THE best tutorial on drawing simple yet accurate looking faces. it has helped me tremendously. I may have to join your patreon just to pay you back for all this awesome info. 👍
Just joined your patreon. 👍
Awesome Scottie! Love to go between Pitt pens, Micron and Uni Pin....and the good old black biro/pen. Thank you! x Nell
the Pitt pens from Faber Castell are really nice and black🙌🏼
@@SketchingScottie they are! I do love India ink.
I just started following you I really like your drawing style. Right now I'm practicing drawing. It's really useful.
Awesome video Scottie, thank you. Tried a few with a micron 03 which I just went for it. Will keep trying some more.
Scottie, I sketched these heads with you. I used a mechanical pencil. I like and own the Pigma Micron 01. I also liked your pens that had thicker lines. Thank you. This was a fun one.
Superb!
Looking good Scottie. I lean more on my Micron pens.
Nice one🙌🏼
I love the shadow blocking style / black and white row, though my favourite sketching tool is micron pens , both Uniball and Sakura ,but sometimes I love to draw in block shadow style using my brush pen😊. By the way,I love the inconsistent lines of Sakura pigma micron 😊
You are amazing!
Uniball and pilot have always been my favorite pens 🖊
Hy Mr Scottie
The best nip for pens and ink is the EF. Extra Fine nip
Thank you very much
I have the sailor fude with a convertor. I got it for drawing but find its great for writing. I think it is designed to mimic a brush for calligraphy.
fun drawing with you thank you
I like Uniball Eye (Fine) because the interaction is so so smooth with paper (The most important thing in sketching !). For finer detailssuch as eyes we can always switch to Uniball Eye (Micro).
That's a good idea👍🏼
Thank You.
Moooore than one👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great! ❤
I like using the uniball eye fine or a Kaweco sport classic/Platinum Preppy. Great drawing tips Scottie, especially for someone like me who likes to draw small with implied detail
Thanks for the pen suggestions👍🏼
Awesome
My personal choice would be the be or two. # 3 looks interesting but it looked like you need more control to get the line you want and I don’t think I am ready for that as yet.
As far as the drawing I really learned a lot from your instruction. A light hand for detail for the smaller face with a broken line looks like the best idea
at least when starting a sketch. Thank you so much. I am itching to get inky!
Glad you learned a lot! Have fun sketching tiny faces🙌🏼
Thanks so much for this video, I started today drawing some abominations and not long after I'm proud of my drawings while having a lot of fun hahaha 😁
😄 that’s really awesome that you’re seeing such a difference!
Might need to experiment with the angle of the Sailor Fude nib when drawing in reverse. This pen's nib is sensitive to angle and pressure. Usually, the lighter end of pressure is best. This pen is really not for a heavy hander,... in reverse it can slice right through the best paper. Holding this pen more like a paintbrush than a pen can also help quite a bit. (imh-experience). I would use the fude pen and maximize it's potential.
thank you, great tips!
i like sailor and lamy style the most
I like the Uni ball, but the one I use is not waterproof so I use it last and it has a very black ink, the Eco pen is nice and can be flipped over for a smaller line, the Sailor Fude pen can be purchased with a smaller nib, which is the one I use and like. I use the different sized pens in the same drawing for line variation but you have to switch pens. I don’t use the micron pen any more. I use the Platinum Carbon fountain pens a lot. Thanks for all the good info and excellent instruction in your videos.
Thanks for sharing🙌🏼
I’ve been using the uniball after your recommendation and love it for the precision and hardness. All the pens made cool sketches and the contrast with #3 is especially striking! How big is the learning curve when using a fountain pen for the first time?
Thanks for the video!
I think the TWSBI ECO I used here is the most similar to the Uniball but still some getting used too. Pens like the Sailor with a Fude nib does take a lot more time to learn.
جميل جدا جدا اشكرك ❤
I like fountain pens. I just do.
My Lamy Studio pen with an EF nib is great for this kind of doodling.
I like how your fude pen filled in those dark values so easily. I don’t own one of those (yet). I think the way to go would be to sketch the outline with an EF or F nib… for that extra control, and add value to hair and clothing with the Fude.
Yes good idea, you could switch between the two pens then👍🏼
This guy is nearly my favorite artist
Yeah, he makes it simpler
I had been using a sailor fude but then splurged on a Lamy Safari EF. Went back to my Sailor within a week. Love how loose the sketches look with the variation in line thickness.
😊 the Sailor is so loose!
This has been very helpful for a beginner sketcher. Could you please do one of a man wearing a bushman’s hat - Australian style?!
PS as a beginner I am using a Stabilo point 88 -fine 0.4. Suits me until I improve.
It’s extremely educating for everyone. Including me a septuagenarian ❤
I really wish this was they way I was taught in highschool. It would have prevented a lot of anxiety about my art...
That"s great job! But could you tell me why you did not draw the vertical line of the nose ? is that because this is the simple and loose drawing ?
I tried to draw the face like this but I have no idea if I should skip something or draw everything on the photo. please help . Mr. Scottie.
I like the bold lines but I also like the uni-ball look. What sketchbook did you use for this tutorial? Smooth paper?
I used the Stillman and Birn beta series sketchbook. It has cold press paper for mixed media so it has a texture but not too much. You could use smoother paper for these type of black and white sketches though😊
@@SketchingScottie Ok, thank you =)
What about mixing with the Uniball pen for details and filling out the bigger black parts with the Sailor Fude Fountain pen . I think that will give a fine contrast. 🖋️🖊️Greetings from Denmark
That's a great suggestion! The best of both worlds
The one I prefer is the fude pen, because almost vertical it draws extremely thin lines, sometimes very convenient for hatching, and it allows all the intermediate thicnesses until above 2mm wide. So, I can chose to make a draw with very thin lines only, or very thick, or mix them, all with the same pen.
Note: I have all the pens shown in the video but I tend to gravitate more to the fude one. Mine is a Sailor 1911 Profit Fude de Mannen, which is more expensive than the green one, but it performs the same way.
In second place I chose the Twsbi Eco, then the Micron and at last the Uni-ball! But I can't draw!... at least nothing close to Scottie!
😊thanks for sharing!
Hi Scottie, could you consider doing a video covering drawing people smiling or open mouthed? I really struggle with dress faces when you can see their teeth. They end up looking a bit feral or like they really ought to visit the dentist.
I have a tutorial on lips. I think I might have mentioned something there about open mouths. You can search my channel name and ‘lips tutorial’
@@SketchingScottie thanks will do
Hi @@SketchingScottie ! Thanks for this great tuto, I improved my face sketches, though I was about to ask the same question about smiles and/or open mouthes. Hard to draw them in such a thumbnail size. Thanks for your tutos anyway !!
I have all of these but I prefer to use fountain pen, F & M sizes (I love Lamy Vista). I do not use technical pens, like Micron, for sketches, lines are too rigid. I'm not satisfied with my Sailor Fude, I find the ink flow inconsistent and scratchy. All in all, I prefer fountain pens.
please do room in 1 p perspective
Any suggestions for free online references for sketching (figures, bust, urban, etc) or a link to the references you use in this video? Appreciate your content, much love.
I go to Pexels.com👍🏼
Your sketch on ref. 9 looks like Eraserhead
Th bro I be using one of those pens with multi colour 💀💀💀🥴
JESUS LOVES YOU ALL ❤
