Great, thanks!

Lorna Graham

Great tutorial Scottie! The templates will be a massive help 🙏

Mary L Doty

Really helpful! It is so tempting to add to many lines on the face. If you are drawing an older person with alot of facial lines ( at the eyes or along the nose to the mouth) do you use broken lines or finer lines?

Mansma

Once you have the shape of the face, in what order do you draw the features? This was a great tutorial!

This is so thorough and well explained. I really like the demonstration of how to do each feature for different size sketches.

Hey Scottie, not sure if you have affiliate links to the aussie amazon page? might not be worth your time if there is not many aussies on the patreon though.

Melinda Bilecki

Is it here where we can post the sketches we make? Or is there another thread to post all sketches? (I'm a bit embarrassed to post my attempts at sketching)

Thank you! It is so helpful to know which edges are essential to emphasize. The shape in mind, but Not outline it.
