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 😂
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.
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
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 🙏
Brilliant! The whole process in 24 minutes. One of the best process teachers I’ve seen. Thank you. 20:15
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 lecture is probably the best I have seen so far!!!
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!
Breaking down the larger shapes really helps me, otherwise I find it overwhelming. Thanks as always for your great tutorials
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! :)
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 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
I don't think I've ever seen an explanation of perspective that I understood as well as yours. 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.
Thank you for taking the time to record this great video to teach us!
I love that you always explain with diagrams, so it's easy to understand!
Your videos are a godsend, man. Thank you.
Excellent video, Scottie!
Amazing video! Thanks so much for sharing!
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 !!😊
I like the idea about the use of dots.
Thank you so much for this class! Helped Me a lot!
I am so glad i found your channel❤
This is the best perspective tutorial I’ve ever seen!! Thank you.
Cleat and motivating tutorial! You always make it so easy.
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
Well this was just a fantastic tutorial Scottie. I had to subscribe!
Thanks Scottie, that was a really useful video!
Thanks for Sharing ❤
So clear and helpful! Thank you! Merci 😉
Great video - thank you
Very clear and useful. Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing your informative and simple tutorial.

Beautiful art and great video ❤
Thank you so much for this!
너무 훌륭한 강좌 입니다❤
감사합니다~^^
Thank you for the tutorial
This is a great tutorial! Very well articulated and really welcomes people into the style of art!
Fantastic instructions 💞
Thank you. Well explained, easy to follow. Very helpful. Thank you for taking the time.
Thanks so much. As I start this journey of urban sketching, this was very helpful!
Showed this to my high school architecture students as an end of year fun activity. Loved it! Thank you for a great video!!!
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 ❤
I really enjoyed the two point perspective and seeing you estimate the height for the horizon.
This was a great video. Thsnk you. Love your style
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.
This really helped me understand perspective so much better than all of the books I've read! Thank you!
Really good tutorial on perspective, understandable always had difficulty with it. Thanks for sharing
Very nice,I like your sketching on different topics like people, landscape, and so on.
This was very informative. I really liked the tips on line drawing and using the dots to make sure everything fits. Thanks so much!
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 😊
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!
Merci beaucoup pour ces explications si claires et concrètes!!!!
This is awesome explanation.. so clear .. love it ..
You got a subscriber just because of the simple way you explain. Great job, keep it up! 👏👏👏
best explanation.
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
Brilliant !
Very helpful!
Thank You. I live on a small island and would like to practice Urban Sketching. Love this video!
Great tutorial mate.I just got back into sketching,and the urban landscape interests me.
Great Video! I`m a beginner and it helped me a lot 🙂
Thanks for this
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.
Dots approach works best for me. Thanks so much for the most effective tips ever! 😀
Great tutorial, thanks :D
Great 👍
Thanks for your efforts 🙏👏👏
The dots are critical. Measuring the proportion of your drawing makes such a dramatic difference.
Really helpful and informative information regarding perspective, breaking the subject into small sections is so helpful, 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 so much that was helpful
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
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!
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.
Thank you, this was a really nice breakdown and I learned a few new tricks =]
Great help for this beginner. Perspective is my Achilles heel.
A ton of value in one video. wow. impressive! thanks for sharing, Scottie.
thanks Alán! love your work too 👍🏼
Thank you ❤❤
Very good video sir❤
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!
Thank you! Especially for the detailed tutorial on perspectives and to "just pick one building" 😂 I will certainly use the Dot Method next time.
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!
I found it useful to sketch the empty spaces around an object. The object then emerges on its own in an interesting way, more interesting than if it were drawn directly - for example, a chair that would otherwise look like it had been drawn by a child reveals its natural shape by simply drawing the empty spaces around it. Drawing the empty spaces helps you avoid focusing on overly simplistic ideas about the object that prevent you from actually “seeing” it in an artistic way. Same with a house, a person, a flower, anything.
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!
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👍🏼
Perspective tips were great, but everything was extremely helpful, thank you very much! I have just joined your channel😊
Awesome! Thank you!
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!
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
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!
Thank you! The info on perspective was all new to me and very helpful; how did I never notice those angles before?
thankyou
So helpful! I didn't know that the closer to the horizon line the less angled it would be! Also, like many others, picking one building to start with. I have been overwhelmed with trying to sketch the whole street.
Glad it was helpful!
😂
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!
For those who are wondering, the town at 2:45 is Novigrad - Croatia, main square.
Very much appreciated, please continue this series on urban sketching.
Great video! ⭐⭐ Thank you very, very much for sharing all these tips. I'm going to start practicing! 😊
The truth is, there's only one detail that I need to improve when drawing buildings:
I don't know how to draw buildings.🤔
An unimportant detail 😁👍
These sketches have a unique raw and human style
Obrigada ❤
