    I know this is going to sound weird, especially since this is over 7 years old-- but I've been struggling with flat-feeling images for so long. I knew I lacked something but couldn't figure out what. I created shadows, edges etc. But even then-- it still felt flat. Then I realized I needed depth, but didn't know how. And your video helped me. It's so simple and to the point. I literally teared up in joy as it was liberating to know. Thank you so much!

    As a high school art teacher (adv draw adv pntg and others 2d), I can't say enough about these videos! So clear and succinct! They are perfect, telling us all that's important and nothing that isn't. You do things that I can't demonstrate in ten minutes but shouldn't take up the whole period doing. Thank you so much for being a valid and ACCURATE/objective resource for us teachers to use to better our instruction. I could show you from one year to the next, a portraiture project, taught exactly the same, except for the addition of your facial feature videos. The improvements are subtle but important. It also helps when the kids hear you saying the same stuff I'm always saying.. Proves I actually do have an education and I'm not just making it up. A biggie as of late was your how to hold a pencil video. I'm always talking about it, trying to get them to stop "writing" to draw. When they saw your video they were like "oh. Ok". Prior they acted like I was just trying to make them miserable. Thanks so much!!

    as a stubborn autodidact who learned drawing trough trial and error without ever watching any tutorials or reading a book i gotta say....ive learned so many things the wrong way and picked up so many bad habits over the years.
    wish i could go back in time 15 years and go to school for this...
