    I think fear is my weakness in drawing.
    I need to remember to have fun while drawing and realize that my drawing might not come out the way I envisioned it, but that's okay.
    Watching your videos, along with practicing and sketching everyday inspires me to keep on going!
    Thanks for your simple explanations!

    I don't know if I've commented on one of your videos and said this already, but I just have to say, your guides been endlessly helpful to me. A couple years back I found your anatomy video and knowing nothing about anatomy (nor studying hard at all) at the time, it made me rethink how I drew entirely. I still have a long way to go but after far too long, I've started seriously practicing what I'm studying again and still, with all the sources I've found since, you remain one of the most concise teachers I've ever seen (without being vague and while encouraging experimentation). Your concise explanations have always been excellent refreshers as well, enough to properly teach or remind one of fundamentals and show them in practice, not so much dwelling on single points or drawings that they drag on. I know I'm just a rando saying this, not to mention I'm not great at drawing, but thank you so much. :)

  • @pursuitofnatural
    @pursuitofnatural 7 років тому

    You have an amazing way of connecting concepts--x/y, vanishing point, etc. I knew all these but couldn't seem to coordinate them in my compositions. I struggled with perspective but I know this will help a great deal. Thank you.

    I've found your channel yesterday, and I'm really enjoying your explanations. Most of other YT artists just draw digital fanart, and seeing you going the opposite direction of that is highly satisfying, especiallly because I prefer traditional myself (don't get me wrong, I like digital too, just tired of seeing it everywhere and all the time). Please, keep up with what you're doing. Cheers from Brazil.
