Just a couple minutes in and the advice of “just pick one building” is already so helpful. Like, why didn’t I think of that 😂
No kidding.
Ive been sat here trying to draw a city before i can draw a door. This is a revalation for me 😂
Yes exactly I try to get all the details and then get frustrated if it doesn't work
Favorite tip: see if you should change the layout of your paper by drawing a border that will work better with your chosen subject. Thanks for a great video
Adding dots then drawing largest item first before filling in with details was my favorite tip. Thank you. I am just starting to get into urban drawing. These tips are helpful.
Breaking down the larger shapes really helps me, otherwise I find it overwhelming. Thanks as always for your great tutorials
This is the best explanation of perspective I have ever heard or read. Thank you. What has helped me the most IS how to determine perspective when I'm looking at something. AND what/where is the horizon line. I also like your tip about starting with one small building. I was trying to draw all the things I saw UNTIL I ran out of room on my page. That was rather overwhelming!
that's awesome! Glad this tutorial was so helpful for you👍🏼
Just started sketching again after a few years but was afraid to draw buildings. Your tip on one building also has made it a lot easier. Thank you
I so agree!
That was going to be my comment as well. I will only add....too bad I had to learn it at 79! I'd better start sketching in a hurry. Oh, wait! I see he has a video on sketching people, my favorite subject!
I finally understand perspective thanks to you. Thank you so much 🙏
I really appreciate the advice on line drawing. I spend way to much time trying to draw straight, perfect lines.
I will try to loosen my grip and embrace imperfection.
Thank You
fitting your building onto the paper, was very helpful. I have often run out of page. You were very clear on the perspective too. Thank you.
Great explanation to the line work. I found the same thing sketching animals at the zoo. By not having perfect lines, it actually adds a great deal of realism. (Plus it saves me from having to worry about fur and feathers.)
I just laughed at 3:00, when you picked exactly the same building that I sketched last weekend in Copenhagen with the local sketching group! :)
Thank you so much for your clear explanation of perspective drawings and how to choose simple building for beginners to start with so as not to be overwhelmed. I like your calming assurance regarding sketching from photographs . Hope you could create more content for beginners for sketching tips as well as water control and pigment management for water colour painting . Will be subscribing to your channel
I am so glad i found your channel❤
Thank you for taking the time to record this great video to teach us!
I don't think I've ever seen an explanation of perspective that I understood as well as yours. Thank you!
This is awesome explanation.. so clear .. love it ..
As a beginner, I found this incredibly helpful. You have a great way of explaining perspective. This is the first video I watched of yours and I hope there is one on proportions.
I like the suggestion of picking one object to sketch. I also like the idea of simplifying how much detail you want to put into your sketch. Up to me on how much detail I add. All of these tips help me. They make Urban Sketching not so intimidating. Thank you.
I love that you always explain with diagrams, so it's easy to understand!
I'm not a beginner, but this was immensely helpful! Two fave tips were line work and using dots to make sure to get everything on the page - I can't tell you how many times I've had to cut out some of my building because I didn't leave enough room for it! Thank you so much!
Same here !!😊
Well this was just a fantastic tutorial Scottie. I had to subscribe!
This really helped me understand perspective so much better than all of the books I've read! Thank you!
The part on perspective -- 1-point perspective and 2-point perspective was extremely helpful, as well as limiting detail.
I always love the advice to embrace mistakes as part of your process and style. it helps me be less harsh to myself! your method to figure out perspective without drawing the vanishing points and struggling with rules and straight lines was also very helpful, and as many have mentioned to just choose one building or section instead of everything you see
This is the best perspective tutorial I’ve ever seen!! Thank you.
Cleat and motivating tutorial! You always make it so easy.
I’m completely new to this type of subject and method so everything was valuable. A very clear and helpful tutorial. The bit at the end about detail was the icing on the cake ❤
Thank you. Well explained, easy to follow. Very helpful. Thank you for taking the time.
Showed this to my high school architecture students as an end of year fun activity. Loved it! Thank you for a great video!!!
This is a great tutorial! Very well articulated and really welcomes people into the style of art!
This lecture is probably the best I have seen so far!!!
Brilliant! The whole process in 24 minutes. One of the best process teachers I’ve seen. Thank you. 20:15
Thank you so much for this class! Helped Me a lot!
Thank you so much. Your visuals and explanations are so clear and concise! I also didn’t think of “just pick one subject” thank you!
Really good tutorial on perspective, understandable always had difficulty with it. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing your informative and simple tutorial.
Thanks so much. As I start this journey of urban sketching, this was very helpful!
best one and very clear ,easy to understand.Thank you
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise! I am a retired art teacher, still a teaching at a local Senior center. My students ages range from 62 through 93. I noticed that perspective and urban sketching is the most difficult subject for them to grasp. I will be recommending your video to everyone in class, as pre-requisite to enroll in my Cityscape classes this coming April.
Thanks for your generosity!
That's great to hear! I hope they find it helpful and can come to your class prepared 😊
Amazing video! Thanks so much for sharing!
Very clear and useful. Thank you so much
Line option details were great as I always feel like they all need to be clean and straight. You absolutely ended that perception for me. Also, the perspective points were extremely helpful as well. But walking through your process of planning, large shapes leading to details, was terrific. A very, helpful video. Thank you.
Your videos are a godsend, man. Thank you.
i really liked this, my favourite tip was breaking all the steps down and starting from bigger shapes to full detail. amazing video and this will not be the last of yours i watch!
thnk u so much. The best tips i got in learning urban sketching.
You got a subscriber just because of the simple way you explain. Great job, keep it up! 👏👏👏
Excellent video, Scottie!
This was very informative. I really liked the tips on line drawing and using the dots to make sure everything fits. Thanks so much!
Thank you for a great tutorial! 😇
So clear and helpful! Thank you! Merci 😉
Really helpful and informative information regarding perspective, breaking the subject into small sections is so helpful, thank you!
Dots approach works best for me. Thanks so much for the most effective tips ever! 😀
I have watched your videos and find they are the best explanations for me for perspective, placement and love the dot method. That makes more sense to me and has really helped. Think you have an awesome teaching method and manner.
That's encouraging to hear 🙏🏼. Glad it made sense!
This was a great video. Thsnk you. Love your style
Thanks Scottie, that was a really useful video!
So helpful and logical progression really helps to follow the process.
Thank You. I live on a small island and would like to practice Urban Sketching. Love this video!
I like the idea about the use of dots.
Everything was so good and well explained. I get so overwhelmed and didn’t know how to edit. I was guessing what you were going to edit and I was always wrong. That proves I try to do too much. So that’s the first thing I’m going to apply.
Very nice,I like your sketching on different topics like people, landscape, and so on.
Great video - thank you
Super helpful tutorial!! Breaking it down the way you did. Picking only part of scene instead of all of it. Dots to get edges. Go from big to small details. Can’t wait to try all this ! Thank you!! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoyed the two point perspective and seeing you estimate the height for the horizon.
Fantastic instructions 💞
Beautiful art and great video ❤
Thank you for the tutorial
Merci beaucoup pour ces explications si claires et concrètes!!!!
By far the best and most straightforward explanation of perspective I have ever heard or read anywhere… I feel like I can put it to use now and start learning more… Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am not an artist, but love your style and look forward to learning from you. I have dabbled in watercolor for a few months and love it, but I really need to learn how to improve my sketching. Thank you!
Great tutorial mate.I just got back into sketching,and the urban landscape interests me.
Thank you so much for this!
I'm a beginner and this was the most thorough and awesome tutorial video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us all. ❤
you're welcome Sarah!
The dots are critical. Measuring the proportion of your drawing makes such a dramatic difference.
Thank you for such a cohesive, understandable, and progressive tutorial. So helpful. Possible to explain how the back roof line in your 2-point breakdown falls into the scheme?
Great 👍
Thanks for your efforts 🙏👏👏
너무 훌륭한 강좌 입니다❤
감사합니다~^^
Thank you so much that was helpful
Thank you, this was a really nice breakdown and I learned a few new tricks =]
Great Video! I`m a beginner and it helped me a lot 🙂
A ton of value in one video. wow. impressive! thanks for sharing, Scottie.
thanks Alán! love your work too 👍🏼
Very helpful!
best explanation.
Fantastic video. Calm voice, simple presentation. As a beginner, I felt great because I understood everything from the first time. Congratulations, you have a new subscriber
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this
Thanks for Sharing ❤
Great help for this beginner. Perspective is my Achilles heel.
Perspective tips were great, but everything was extremely helpful, thank you very much! I have just joined your channel😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Very good video
Brilliant !
My favourite tips where the "choosing your one simple object" to start and then the dots for the perspective helper. I tried it once going up to the Fortress in Salzburg, Austria and sketch the mountains and buildings below, but that was so overwhelming and I had to give up :D
Great tutorial! I need to go back and take notes, lol. I appreciated the parts about perspective (one and two points) and construction. Can't wait to learn more about urban sketching.
thanks John, all the best with your sketching👍🏼
Great tutorial, thanks :D
Thank you ❤❤
I have always had trouble with perspective. It was so helpful that you used the building as reference. I feel more confident drawing buildings. Thank you.
Thank you! Especially for the detailed tutorial on perspectives and to "just pick one building" 😂 I will certainly use the Dot Method next time.
Man that "embrace your mistakes" is something I'm trying to really get a handle on, drawing rough is so... rough lol idk if I'm making sense but I'm trying my best
thankyou
Absolute superb content..thank you so much…😊 i think you can do another part to same video for showing how to color and where to leave white highlights
Thank you! The info on perspective was all new to me and very helpful; how did I never notice those angles before?
Very good video sir❤
Thanks!
thanks a lot for the support!
hello, creating a line character and having free flowing expression was decisive for me.. thank you very much- regards ..
yes free flowing expression is very important!
