That's when I started getting interested in drawing. And I learned a lot from you. People can really see the improvements on my drawings. Especially when I watched your video about proportions. KEEP IT UP! 😄 You're doing really great. I enjoy every video you posts. Hoping to see more... #makoficationsquad

#makoficationsquad 😉 Another stunning piece. I’m learning so much from you and I’m becoming more confident with my art. My biggest challenge is to let go and accept that it’s okay for my art to not be perfect. I’ve just finished watching your notebook video and your reassurance that my work is different to others and that’s okay. You’re a wonderful teacher. Thank You.xxx
