Looooved this one! Thank you!

This is beautiful Scottie, thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Mine didn't turn out as well as yours, but I framed it and it's hanging on the wall and the family told me "That's much better than the ones you usually do" so I'm quite happy at the progress. I've done all of your urban sketching tutorials except one (will do next) and I'm learning a lot. I love the dot method. Thanks for the great work.

I often sketch in pencil first then go over with fineliner. Your tutorials give me the confidence to go straight to ink. Thanks!

Hi Scottie, I am new to urban sketching. Found this hard. Your instructions are good but I didn’t get my perspectives right. I am enjoying your videos

I think this my favorite work of yours! It's so alive and loose. I love it!
