You always make me want to go straight to my studio and draw.

Love the “construction dots” & how you give the context of it being a simplification of the Loomis method. This makes so much sense to me. Also I appreciate how you clearly tell us to let the paint dry before proceeding.

I loved the tip to start with a circle with a central point. It makes a lot of sense both as a drawing reference, as well as for correctly positioning the centre of interest.

I love the style, and the real time creation is incredibly compelling. The first of many artist KZfaqrs I've watched to give me hope that I could (eventually) do something like it myself. Plus a wonderful 'joy of painting' vibe, bonus!

Awesome! The nose part was the most difficult though

The approach with the 4 points as a reference point for a circle and building up the other points for nose, jaw etc. is very good and memorable. Many thanks for the great tutorial.

You made this look so accessible. A few dots! Who knew! I have to try this right away. I’m hoping to get much more human looking faces from now on 😁. Thank you so much.

I;m in my 70s and just started sketching , I'm mesmerized by what you've just done. Will now slowly try and copy you.

Your great instruction has given me the confidence to draw/paint my granddaughter’s favourite basketball player. I thank you. She thanks you.

I'm doing it up to the nose right now It's fun.

Such a clear lesson on drawing. Thank you so much.

This is the first time I have watched your channel and you have really inspired me, I will be watching more 🙂👍

Just found you on KZfaq and immediately subscribed. I struggle with loomis terribly and this seems so much easier!

This is a great tutorial, Thank you so much! I really like how much she feels like the person in the photo. It's amazing how you achieved it with such a simple composition. - I'm very glad to have found your channel!

Wow... Best tutorial I've seen. I can only make a face forward facing. I've watched the Loomis way of drawing faces but yours makes so much sense. I didn't think of a square inside of a circle

Interesting way to approach it. Nice to figure it out

Wonderful demo, I'm going to try it out with a project I was thinking off

First ever art tutorial where i didn't skip ..... completely satisfying ..... i'm going to follow you and learn to draw..... LOVE FROM INDIA

I followed along and, while it certainly was not a masterpiece, this method helped me produce a portrait much better than any of my previous attempts. Thank you for sharing this great method for portraiture!

very very helpful! thank you so much, you are awesome

I love using loose sketchy pen with watercolor! It's great to see someone doing this! I will definitely be watching your videos! I could use some improvement! I haven't done many paintings with people.

Great job! I failed on the jawline and nose on the first go around but nailed it the second time. I love following along and doing these at my lunch break. Keep em coming!

Ive been watching your vids for more than a week now. This is what I needed to understand the proportions, your technique is great and simple. Thanks !

Thank you so much for sharing your approach to portraits. She came out soft and playful and with a great likeness to your reference!

I love the use of the dots that you use. Very helpful. I dont know what it is with the loomis method, but i cannot make a pretty girl.

Love your vids. They are always truly instructive, with very clear and simple instructions, unlike others which are just a recording of the drawing. Thanks.

Thanks for thiese tutorial Scottie. More challenging for me as a beginner, but more satisfying task at the same time.

Wow! I’ve had many drawing classes in the past and could never catch on. I feel I can try your method and have a face look like a person instead of an alien. Thank you so much for these wonderful methods. I will try again now that your method has inspired me. During all my watercolors, I would avoid people…now to try again.

Really great lesson, thanks. I’m currently doing a challenge of a portrait a day for a month. I’ll add yours in if that’s ok.

"I don't even know what it is. She's got paint on her top eyelid" 😂😂 I laughed so much! 😂😂😂

Very inspiring! So first of all, it is super hard to do these lines, especially human shapes, in one go without a sketch. The method with the dots is very helpful! :) Second, I love the style, because my own lines are always way too clean and have zero dynamic, while this is the exact opposite. I hope I can learn to draw more more like you. I also just love how these very loose lines and the water colour become something very lively at the end. It's a wonderful process, thank you for sharing!

This is a great tutorial!

So simple tutorial and very easy to follow. This is what I need. Keep up the good works. Thanks so much!

This makes me want to try painting portraits. I love your style! 💕

Excellent proportion demonstration. I teach drawing and it's shockingly elusive for many artists.

Such a good tutorial. I particularly love to sketch my cat(s) when they’re on my lap again. Had to move to another place last year and my cats are mostly in hiding or on my lap so I can’t sketch them otherwise, I have sheets covering their scratching posts and furniture because they are very scared and love to hide. I actually moved into a building that was a hair dresser at one point and the window goes outward on an angle, resulting in the curtain being far from the window. One of the 2 cats has realized she is safe there and almost lives there full time but I either live completely visible for everyone to see inside or I don’t see her so I almost exclusively sketch her sister but time and time again she will change her head angle or posture so I hope I can use these tips to have the outline of her posture before time has run out yet again 😂 Also, you have given me a desire to try out sketching portraits with this very clear step by step tutorial with doable steps, with clear instructions on what to focus on (and therefor, what not, I tend to loose myself in the details with everything and already know I need to focus on proportions before the details but this makes it easier to determine which details are the important bits for those rough outlines (out-dots??) and the most crucial part for me is by doing so, you also give me a very necessary guideline of where those important details stop or where they become less important. I can’t do this tutorial now but I have saved it because this really is the best one I have found (although I must admit I haven’t exactly been searching for them because I am at a different stage of my sketching life but portraits and in particular expressions are getting more and more interesting to me so I might not have been looking at a lot of them but your teaching style is so clear and motivating that I don’t really feel the need to search for others for now until I’ve done this one and practice these tips on other faces -as well as cats lol- so thank you)

So lovely a face,a really useful and interesting vídeo,thank you!❤

Absolutely love this!

WOW!!!!! This is just amazing, the way you explain, there is technique behind even though you seem to put it easy! Thank you so much I cant wait to try this!,!!!! Thank youuu❤

Awesome tutorial Sir, so much to learn.Amazingly done in a very specifically detailing way. Thnx a ton. Regards

I’m learning the Loomis Method… your process is brilliant!! I’m going to try this. New to your channel, thank you!

Wow, Thank you so much Scottie. You are awesome and I have never seen a better tutorial to analyse and explain in such clear detail, follow the dots, how to approach a portrait of this difficultly. Only a joke about the follow the dots; you make it look relatively easy, at least possible with practice, but your artist skills are amazing. Thank you so much for generously sharing your drawing and water colour techniques. ❤❤❤

you make it look so effortless! great tutorial but i can only hope to be as good as you with practice!

Fantastic tutorial! Thanks, from a sixty-seven-year-old colorblind newbie! It's fun, mine came out looking like a red-headed Alice in Wonderland. LOL

Really liked your method . I’m sure it looks easier than it actually is . Thank you .

That was beautiful! Thank!

Magic created with a Master's touch.

I've been drawing for a long time (not saying I'm any good), you've streamlined the process very nicely! Going to try your wy.
