I've been tilting my head left for the last 45 minutes lol
Manchess is the current peak evolution of illustrators. We're all lucky he's an awesome teacher and all around good guy on top of it.

I really love Gregory’s attitude and wisdom. Seriously needed to hear his thoughts today as they chime.

Awesome! Thanks for this demo and for "Above the Timberline". I've struggled in my own artwork to produce exact copies of the photograph or whatever source material, so thanks for your work that has encouraged me to step away from that and be "painterly" and "capture the moment" in the painting and not worry about being so precise.

watching him paint is teaching me to make better strokes with a purpose, like he said, to pay attention to every stroke.
