      ​@GenevievesDesignStudio you should include how to know where to put shadows and how to shade folded clothes. i feel that's where many beginner artist struggles!

    I loved this tutorial. I have done many many of your tutorials, but I needed this particular one solo. I tried to go on my own instead of always following your tutorials. So I sketched this and that and I was done because I could not figure out how to add color, clothing, etc. Thank you very much.

    Hello! First of all, love your videos! 10:02 I do not know what is my fault. But always a tapping the grey circle, the circle got the color I have in this moment chosen. Do you have an idea what happened ?
    I really love your videos; I've learned so much from them. They’re so well-made, clear, and easy to understand. Honestly, I don’t even need any more brushes-I’ve so many already-but I bought yours anyway as a way to thank you for your work. Many thanks, very good job!

    This was so helpful! I've been using procreate for a year now - doing lots of tutorials and such but focusing in on specific techniques like sketches etc is so helpful. And yes! I would love a shading video as well. It's an area that can make good into great! If you can include some tips about lighting as you demonstrate the need for shading that would be fantastic! THANK YOU!

    Thank you for today's video. Interesting tip about ditching the white background.
    I would also love to see an video on shading.
    Would also be great if you were able to put together a video covering some of the features in the Adjustments Menu which are still a bit of a mystery to me, such as Colour Balance, Curves, and Gradient Map. I know you touched on some of this briefly today. However, more in depth info with more examples would be great. Also, totally clueless about everything in the bottom of the menu from Noise downwards, except for Liquify.

    Absitively! Adding video on shading would be great!!
    Really appreciated all of,today’s tips. Going to have to watch video multiple times.
    Yes, you did go super fast, good thing we can rewind. And I definitely prefer fast over going toooo ssssllllooooowwww.
    You do outstanding videos! CONTENT IS AWESOME!
    Did have 1 video PACING suggestion which might be helpful.
    My .02: When you move from 1 menu choice or 1 ACTION to another, maybe pause slightly. NAVIGATION is one of the hardest things about using ANY computer program. Some of these menu selections we and others have never used. Which means we can’t follow easily. For example, if someone has never used blending mode, verbalize where you are going (let’s go to blending mode by tapping N at the end of layer name). Then pause a half second or a second so person unfamiliar with that navigation can locate the N. Hope that makes sense. Maybe it will help others, or maybe not.
    Favorite tip was Cherry on the top… the last one on unifying the colors in the illustration. IE Create new top layer. Use 1 color from illustration over ENTIRE layer (pause lol). Then on that top layer, tap N at the end of that layer line (pause with pencil over the N for people who have never used the N). N stands for Normal blending mode, and tapping it opens the blending mode menu. Now choose a blending mode like Soft Light. (pause so people can see where it is). Then change the opacity using the slider here (pause) to unify the colors.
    Haven’t had time to drop in for quite awhile. However did take time this a.m. to enjoy the portrait brushes I bought from you a week or 2 ago. Very nice! Especially liked the hair and eyelash brushes!! They immediately improved the illustration I was working on! Many thanks for your videos and for taking the time
    to create so many nice brushes! 👍👀👍🖌️
