I really enjoy watching your wonderful hand doing the magic and hearing your voice, which btw calms me really down. I just wanna say that you do a wonderful job with your videos and I really am looking forward to them every Werk again and I am really sorry for any mistakes. English is not my first language.

But I often find myself helpless 'cause I have no idea how I should draw for example shadows. But your videos arereally helpfull and I learn a lot and it is fun learning through your videos. You make me smile every time again. So Thank you :)

    lovley drawing!! Your realism is amaizing and I can not take my eyes off of it. I would like to suggest a typical sketching video. how to sketch out a portrait of a character, OR maybe a video on how to draw dragons, how their bodies and heads are different and how to impliment the elemental aspects into them. Since portraits and dragons are probably your best work and most liked

If I don't have a white pen to add highlights to a darker pattern, can I use a white color pencil? If not I'll use my eraser. But, thank you so much for this tutorial. Alot of things give me ideas on what I want to create. Realism is something I'm granted to pursue. So thank you, SIR.
