    You should do a video where you redraw all of these with a reference to show the difference between the two and how important using a reference can be :D

    The skull of Sam's enemy will never get old. And honestly, I'm very impressed that you were able to draw all that from memory. I did it as well, and half of my sketches look like something that came from a kindergarten class. Great work as always, Sam!

My art has improved so much because of your videos, especially the ones where you critique other art pieces. I'm now teaching my very first art class on character design & digital painting at our local Center for the Arts and it's all thanks to you and your channel!! So thank you so much for indirectly helping me to progress from an art baby to an art teacher, especially since now I get to help art babies become art gods, too! Really appreciate your content & advice, and I hope you know that your helping so many art babies become art gods like you!!

    so, I did all of these with you and Im surprised with the result. Im more used to drawing humans and I barely draw objects, to my surprise, beside the beach people that I do think I drew pretty well, the animal, bird, snail and turtle look very good too. Aside from animals, I drew the beer bottle and the witch better than I thought I would. All the rest are pretty much what I expected. This challenge turned out more fun than I thought.
