Here's the thing. You can't do that many faces in such and intense period and NOT improve. This is always my approach to anything I decide to try and master painting. Really great job. Thanks for filming and sharing. The struggle is real my friend 😆👍🏻

Great video! As usual thanks for your generosity and honesty sharing your learning journey and frustrations! It makes the process more tangible and accessible ❤

[@sofiapavanmacias]

🥹 thank you for your lovely words 🥰

[@Anikanoteven]

I ❤❤❤ that you do faces/protraits. Very few teachers on KZbin do this and it’s the area I really want to focus on. Just found your channel and so now a new subscriber.

I can relate. I also tend to veer towards realism, even when I set out to do a more expressionistic drawing. Maybe I should just accept it! 😂 But timing yourself seems like a good idea. I may try that. Thanks for the video! It’s great to see the process. I’m learning a lot from your marker drawings too! ❤

[@sofiapavanmacias]

Yes i think that we should embrace what we are drawn to in art! And push towards where we want to be too! Thank you for watching 🥰🩷

Wow I have never resonated with a video SO MUCH!! Thank youuuu

[@lynnettebass2451]

Hiding the one you didn’t care for with the one you liked is so me! Haha The important part of this is discovering more what your style is and applying the paint accordingly. I love your recording style and painting style. Have a good day❤
