Glad you like them!

Great!! That was the best plan I have seen re getting a plan together for your artwork. It was coherent and concise and seems really helpful!! Sometimes it's very hard to know where to start as a newbie and u can get mess up due to bad planning. I've written this down in my sketchpad and am going to implement in my painting. Thank u so much!❤

[@longstrideillustration]

Fantastic, you can also download the free PDF worksheets, the link is in the description. All the best with your projects!

[@user-wm8ol9yn4g]

Thank you for your videos and the PDF worksheets for this subject. So helpful to have a structure for i) making a plan to draw and ink a new subject, ii) creating relevant practice material for myself, and iii) problem solving. I've applied your techniques to birds I've been sketching and inking and am having good results. I sometimes stop in my days now to think about and visualize how I'll use lines to ink a drawing I've made.

[@longstrideillustration]
