  • This video is all about drawing effects. We cover water, fire, smoke, and an energy blast. They're easy to draw and understand, and the best part is that they're all more similar to draw than you may think.

  • @linkinaball

    I had a very difficult time with my art during my life, up to a point that I stopped completely. Was way too hard for myself. So I forced myself to stop. So a long part of my life I did not pick up a pencil. Then enter pandemic. Lost my job and got time to think. Came to a conclusion I am most happy doing art. So now I made a plan to make something for myself with my art (roughly 5 year plan). Cuz I want to do in life what I want to do in life. You can't go trough it completely on your own terms, but if I can get close then I'll be happy for the rest of my life.
    And you David and a handfull of other great teachers who so generously want to give back to the community inspired me immensely to push forward. I lost so many years, but now at least have the drive again to do art. It's harder to do than before. But you guys (David And the others *sounds like a band*) are helping me (and inspire) to understand the fundamentals like no one could before.
    Thank you so very much for all of this.
