Kerstin

Cool. Thanks Scottie 😀. I like the 2 soccer and the last figure the most as there is a lot energy, power and speed in the moves the people make.

Kerstin

And you really like cricket? Isnt that game on for hours and hours? 🙆🏼‍♀️

Monica

The last baseball one because of the twist of the figure. And the number 4 soccer

4 or 5 days 😳 when you sketch, eat, make tutorials, sleep? Oh well. When we watch tv my hubby always says, we already have seen this … i always answer, i havent seen this yet. My hubby answers, yeah, you also fall asleep. Turn on tv, i am snoring … 😅🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi Scottie, Happy with any one of 2-5 They all seem to be great subjects, looking forward to practicing shoes and the twist of the torso,

Vivienne Adamson

Hi Scottie, I would like to see 3 and 5 as these both have a lot of body twisting going on which I find is quite difficult to capture. I also would like some advice on how to capture foreshortening to ensure it looks right on my figures. I do like all the poses so will probably try to sketch them all as trying to make realistic action poses can be difficult as I feel you need some background incorporated in your sketch to make them look grounded or they look like they are floating in the air. Thankyou again Scottie for a great selection. X😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Scottie - just had to jump in - one of the great things about retirement is being able to go to the ground and watch Australia play. (All 5 days), - bring on the Ashes - can’t wait. Great for sketching too! Now back to my painting.

Lorna Graham

2 & 3 Scottie. I chose these because I like football and I like the striking red in the baseball pose. All good action poses so would learn from any of them.

Jacqueline Munkelt

hi scottie, people in action is a great idea! ⛹️ I would like to learn how to sketch the figure dynamically, not as rigid as if they were just standing still. I would also like to learn more about shortening, when the arms and legs are in motion. thank you for teaching us! 🍀

Benjamin Parpex

The number 1 is actually very classy! I hope we get to see 2 characters in the coming tutorial 🤞🤞🤞

Marie-José Dupuis

Hi Scottie! Numbers 3 and 5 seem to be the most challenging, would love to explore those. I am happy to see that you are coming up with dogs and cats, but would be delighted to learn to sketch horses and people horse back riding! That would be so great! Thank you for your excellent work!

Petra

For me # 5 and #3...thanks and happy that you feel better now.

Michael Coleman

Hey Scottie, glad you are better. For me, 2 or 3 show hands and some shadow as well as overlapping body parts. This would help with perspective, anatomical drawing and sense of movement.

Suzanne Taylor

My husband is a golfer so I voted for him “the golfer”.

Mukul Apte

I am from India... So I'd vote for cricket too... 🏏
