The 3/4 position seems harder. I see above you are working on a Sketching School collection. I am really glad to hear that. You do a great job of breaking things down so portraits are manageable.

Hi Scottie, do you have a video specifically for drawing a quick face? I'm trying to learn to sketch people quickly.

Scottie, I'm a professional artist, I make portraits but struggling with quick sketches. Now techniques for both the styles are totally opposite. I work with details of face. Any extra tips for me to keep in mind? Thanks in advance.

This video felt a little different than all other videos. It is not as easy to follow. I really liked the first one for faces, it was more detailed and easier to follow. I think I will skip this one

really enjoyed this tutorial Scottie, so pleased with the final sketch of the photographer. Thanks!

Hi Scottie, I found this tutorial (HOW TO DRAW A FACE In-Depth Tutorial ('Sketching School' Tier)) very helpful. I've only done the front view and have repeated it until I could do it without watching the tutorial. Thanks so much. Now for the 3/4 view.

This is a great tutorial. I love the nice structured approach It gives me a way of approaching a face. Instead of guess work all the time. I have trouble starting off just with the hair as guide. Is it best to draw a very soft circle first to get the rough proportions. It seems if you don't get that hair proportion about right, everything else can go very wrong very quickly. This is the part I have the most problems. Do you have any suggestions.

This is exactly what I joined your Patreon for! We spoke briefly on IG (geburu.ink) about your Sketching School that's in the works, so I'm happy I joined up :)
