Beautiful water colours Scottie! Well done.

Karen Lin

I did it! I learned so much practicing with all the windows. This was great. Please do more hard window projects and perspective. I loved sketching in the biker too. Practice makes hard things easier!

Jennifer

I learned so much. Thanks Scottie.

Servane

Thank you ! Perspective is not easy but this tutoriel is really great.

Practice makes perfect. This was very helpful as I have been struggling with perspective. I really like your techniques of marking the points, they literally help us “connect the dots”!

Thank you! Even though I was sick, I still did the drawing. It was a fun piece!

Hi Scottie. Just joined and having a little issue. I’m trying to make your videos full screen on my iPad and it’s not working. Any ideas ? Thanks Sean

Hilda Martinez Brown

Your tutorials, mostly landscapes are heaven for me. Thank you

G'day Scottie! I am a beginner beginner and I struggled só much with this. I have printouts of the reference material and of your one point perspective. I have worked on the fundamentals before trying this. I feel like giving up! 😕 Would you suggest that I keep practising with this tutorial before I move on to other tutorials? I feel like I am just wasting good paper! 65 years old and have always wanted to draw. Greetings from a very cold Melbourne 🥶

I used this technique to paint (and post in Chat) a scene from Shin Sekai, an entertainment district in Osaka. Thanks for the points about perspective, but kudos also for giving me the courage to change the colors from the reference and add a huge shadow (I took the reference on a cloudy day) to give the painting more depth.

This was a bit challenging, but this tutorial was very detailed. I created my own "Sam brush" from an old toothbrush too. Definitely makes a big difference with the splatter! Another A+ tutorial!
