If you think that way, which a lot of people do, then, there's no way for you guys to be professional artists with that kind of attitude. You should enjoy taking new challenges. Not be afraid of them.
I paid money i dont necessarily have for my teacher to b like "no, i dont teach techniques" thank u for saving me this is the explanation i wanted u are so eloquent this makes drawing look more approachable i was so lost all my drawings looked wrong
If your art instructor won't teach you techniques, why would you even need them? To criticize your work as you flounder through via trial and error? There are great, free instructions on YT. Please make sure you sit through the ads so the channels can receive some revenue for their videos.
Excellent. You make it look simple. I think my biggest problem is always trying to be too perfect even though I want the sketchy end product and not a photographic reproduction. Oh well more practice needed. Thanks.
we have the same problem... i try to be perfect for the first time I have to convince myself that I'm too hasty and don't think just focus... to avoid overthinking
I knew about measuring, but lacked knowledge of which lines to sketch first. That is a game changer. I would have made a real mess of the table and chairs on my own. Not just "what to do" but also "what to do first." Thank you.
you make it look simple and made me think that "so that's just how it is" and gave me confidence and new understanding. I sometimes find it hard to draw and only now in my thirties I started again. my hands were shaking, I could barely draw what I imagined, I overthink things and put unnecessary pressure into myself that I have to draw beautifully and perfectly. So that's why it's one of the reasons I only restarted drawing now after so many years of neglect in art. Now I find another inspiration to keep forward and try this too.
I had long Covid. My mind was affected and I can no longer draw! After a lifetime of artwork, I am heart broken. I never know where to start something, and have ended up tracing things. You have just given me my art skills again!! LOVE YOU TO PIECES!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!❤❤
@ Thank you for your kind remarks. Because I am now 76, I'm at an age where I don't want to start learning drawing all over again, so I switched what I was doing!! I've taken on some self taught abstract painting, and it turns out I'm really good at it!!! I've also been using a Jelli plate a lot and have been doing collage/mixed media, and won a spot in a prestigious art show with one of my pieces!! I have also learned how to ‘loosen up’ how I paint. I am now enjoying art more than I have ever before. I'm still upset about not being able to draw like I used to, but working around this has given me another layer of art I never knew I had. So, this is a good lesson in not giving up, but working around the disability and a brand new world may open up to you!! Thank you again for touching my heart!! 🥰🤗
@bronwenquick It will get better. Don't give up. I had problems finding words for half a year after my C infection. Felt like my brain only ran on three cylinders... But you can heal. Try and try, practice, every day! I recorded myself talking about complex topics, wrote pages and pages, using mew vocabulary. I gave my brain work, I challenged it. Little by little it got better. You will be able to draw like you did before.
I started drawing & watercolor painting when I was almost 77! Now 81 & mostly improving all the time - the best part is the passion I have for it - what a treasure!,,
So great! I learned at least two things: the dotting measurement and to draw "straight" lines with little deviations, which make them appear less stiff. Thank you so much 🤩
I've watched so many many drawing videos with so little progress. But yours quickly and succinctly showed an actual how to on measuring and placement. This is just brilliant! Thank you so much for making this video!
Hello Scottie, thank you for explaning this great sketch technique. I’ m painting over 10 years and never saw this trick with dots. Beautifull skteches/illustrations. ❤🙏🏻
Scottie, thank you for sharing. I’ve always wanted to start drawing but didn’t know where to begin. Your video has been incredibly inspiring to me. I’m truly grateful!
Best video I’ve seen answering the single question I’ve had of how to simply draw what I see in front of me without too much detail? Love this video so much, will be returning to it again soon! 🎨
This is very well timed. My mother is having a tree cut down at her house (the house I grew up in) next week and I wanted to try to sketch and paint it before it’s gone but wasn’t feeling very confident about it.
I agree with every positive comment!! Your method is SUPERBLY HELPFUL!!! Excellent tutorial, great visual breakdown, and easy to duplicate.... I could go on, but thank you for sharing ☺️ 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love this! I’m going to sketch with my urban sketching group later today and will try these tips. Thank you! (I would have drawn the table and then the chairs…I’m glad to know to draw the thing that is closest to me first, then add the far away things.)
Thank you for making this video! I have a hard time making an initial sketch of a drawing because of my fear. But because of this video my insight is opened and encourages me not to be afraid to start sketching! ❤
Thanks for the tutorial. What is mind blowing for me is to draw the outside shape and then start the oneliners. As soon as I saw it I started laughing. Why did I never thought about mixing the techniques. And I also want to say thanks, because I can understand you easily.
I've always wanted to draw and paint and your videos are inspiring me to start pursuing this never to leave .... A heartfelt gratitude to my first art teacher ❤
I draw daily the things in front of me. I usually take a photo then draw the photo to give myself more time to draw it. I have never thought to use this for method for perspective and proportions. I love it!! Best advice I've seen in a while! ❤❤
I have always thought that drawing/painting art was not something I could ever aspire to, but you may have turned that idea on its head. ☺ Thank you for sharing your skill 💖🇦🇺
It has been a very long time since I sketched or even painted using water/poster colours. I shelved my love for painting and recently decided to go back to it. Love your explanation and method to sketch. The next step before purchasing the brushes and paints is to sketch using your method. Thank you and all the best.
Fantastic technique!! I've never been able to draw stick figures, but I've had the desire to learn how to draw for a long time. You make it look easy. Thank you.
I love sketching but some things I just won't attempt - now I will - I love your technique and you break everything down into achievable bite size pieces - thank you! new sub here too! delighted your video came up on my feed!
I really like this tutorial!! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to have fun with drawing and watercoloring, especially beginner artists. The dot method is simple but super effective, especially when drawing freehand w a pen since it just trains your mind to get better at measuring and figuring out the lines and shapes of something, which is one of the most significant skills an artist can acquire. Thanks so much for this tutorial, it really helps a lot!!
I REALLY loved this video. You make it all look so easy and I am now willing to give it a try. The way you break every sketch down to simple measurements is very doable. Tank you!!!!
What supreme supremely talented artist are you......I think art is about this only generating sense of awe without being physically present there......❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Loved this hidden gem of YT which i found today
I want you to know how very much I appreciate this lesson. You are such an excellent teacher as you explain not just the how to do, but also the how to think part as well. It jives in my mind that way! :). I just need to join your patreon!
Thank you for this. It's wonderfully clear and beginner friendly. I feel more confident and eager to try a more personal art rather than copying other people's art.
Now i have a new thing to try out during class, thx :) edit after actually watching the whole video: not only that I've learned how to skech, I learned how to watercolor too (you're a genius)
Thank you! This is such a useful tutorial. I am always intimidated by the concept of trying still life drawing. This just made it so much easier to break down and enjoy the process!
This video is amazingly helpful! You have covered so many things I would want to draw but blank sheets in my sketch book are intimidating but your tips are brilliant! I will definitely use them. Thanks so much 😊
I appreciate how you have broken your drawing down by using dots, AND getting angels, say as a balcony has been a difficult for my brain to conceive. I like loose strokes and buildings like Goudi's. They inspire the imagination.
What a wonderful Christmas present you have just given us. My drawings ratio are always off so my objects are often distorted. This is a great tool & technique that I can definitely use to improve my drawings to scale. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing!🙏
Okay that's the most brilliant thing ever. I'm teaching myself how to draw but unfortunately I'm not a very good teacher or pupil. Thank you so much for doing this!
Recently, I started using the dot technique for practice drawings and it is a great way to get good results. I'm finding as I get better at it, that I can use fewer dots almost as if my brain is starting to automatically find dot points.
I tend to sketch more, even with pen, but the dots seem pretty helpful so I might give this a try. It creates a very different look with sharper lines which I like
youre a life saver!! just found out your channel and immediately subscribed, the way you explain makes it look simple and is easy to understand :) also your content is exactly what ive been looking for for years but not many ppl teach it so i appreciate it!
I would never have attempted to draw any one of those pictures, but you made them each looks so, so simple, and in the morning I'm getting my drawing kit out and tackling those pancakes! You have a new subscriber here! I love your voice and how easy you make drawing seem, i just love it! Thank you for helping me face my fear of drawing! God bless you!
There is no way I'd attempt to draw these items. But after watching your video anything is achievable. Thank you so much. 🎉
all the best 🙌🏼
If you think that way, which a lot of people do, then, there's no way for you guys to be professional artists with that kind of attitude. You should enjoy taking new challenges. Not be afraid of them.
@@mayajasinski5972that is what he said- the video inspired him to try.
Nice introduction.
I understand ur point, but everone is trying to go professional@@mayajasinski5972
Thank you so much for drawing 6 different everyday objects. Love your explanation to place dots. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Every blessing to you, Pam. G Ire

Try to get a refund
There is a way for everyone
Because he paints with heart and soul 😂
What Does your teacher teach
Excellent. You make it look simple. I think my biggest problem is always trying to be too perfect even though I want the sketchy end product and not a photographic reproduction. Oh well more practice needed. Thanks.
we have the same problem... i try to be perfect for the first time I have to convince myself that I'm too hasty and don't think just focus... to avoid overthinking
Just recently started learning to draw and sketch at 40 yrs. Never came across this technique so I'm very thankful for this video 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
A minute and a half in, and I'm already like, wow, my sketches would be so much better if I do this! Thank you for sharing such easy and helpful tips!
As a complete and total newbie this is the most useful video I have ever seen on drawing
I knew about measuring, but lacked knowledge of which lines to sketch first. That is a game changer. I would have made a real mess of the table and chairs on my own. Not just "what to do" but also "what to do first." Thank you.
This is so helpful, especially because you are demonstrating it on multiple different objects.
Wonderful tutorial, Scottie. You have inspired me to start sketching again, after many years. Thank you, so much.
that's great! Go for it 🙌🏼
Love the way they turned out with the colours. Thank you 👏👏
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you so much! I'm just an amateur and have never heard of this dot method. It's so helpful! It's made me excited to try drawing again.
I love the way you don’t bother about wonky lines just my kind of drawing. Thanks 😊
you make it look simple and made me think that "so that's just how it is" and gave me confidence and new understanding.

Thank you. I am a beginner from Germany and your English is so clear and easy to understand. Thanks also for that
I've seen people sketch using a grid, but WOW, I like the connect the dot technique. Im definitely going to try this. I have subscribed. ❤
Finally i find my teacher now i have no problem 🌺✨
This was extremely helpful! I always get overwhelmed with complex shapes but now I have a tool for breaking them down! Thanks!!
I had long Covid. My mind was affected and I can no longer draw! After a lifetime of artwork, I am heart broken. I never know where to start something, and have ended up tracing things. You have just given me my art skills again!! LOVE YOU TO PIECES!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!❤❤
😰😭😭 As a fellow artist myself and the love for drawing, this breaks my heart ... never give up 👏

Ahh here we go again, cheers Scottie!
Thank you for this. It's wonderfully clear and beginner friendly. I feel more confident and eager to try a more personal art rather than copying other people's art.

Thank you - this is very helpful.
Dots and measure...this was so helpful..okay you've made me think i can do this now, no more procrastinating.. thankyou 😁
THANK YOU for this! This made so much to me as I have a terrible time with drawring certain types of things. Grateful for this lesson.
This video is amazingly helpful! You have covered so many things I would want to draw but blank sheets in my sketch book are intimidating but your tips are brilliant! I will definitely use them. Thanks so much 😊
Wow, you’re so good 😫
Love your technique! I paint with acrylics and I want to try this! Its less intense and calming! ❤
Great tecnic really! It's all about seeing the dots.
I appreciate how you have broken your drawing down by using dots, AND getting angels, say as a balcony has been a difficult for my brain to conceive. I like loose strokes and buildings like Goudi's. They inspire the imagination.

Excellent theory, the dot measurments work so well

I tried this technique....it helps to draw easily in less time 🎉❤
your tutorial is very helpful. I'm just now starting to get back into sketching and painting, so thank you!
