After almost a decade of making digital art, I think im going back to traditional mediums. I just felt my work losing its soul. You definitely helped inspire that.

To start a drawing do you use the Loomis method or are you using an envelope method? In any case, you are getting a very good likeness.

[@adarfrida]

I tried using the Loomis method and the enveloping method, but this one worked best for me: m.ua-cam.com/video/EA2qP94zkqg/v-deo.html&pp=ygUbcGxhbmVzIG9mIHRoZSBmYWNlIHR1dG9yaWFs
