That's amazing!

[@ailinhernandez8315]

Very cool

[@ayaan4894]

Is this really free for 1 month

[@candysummer7646]

Thanks 🙏

[@hugetart_draw5967]

good

[@ediesedgwick4462]

Wow! The earlier portrait is good! But, your redraw is spectacular!

[@d3pr3ssion_xD]

Your old pictures would've been such a flex for me in my class right now

[@jwill2513]

I love it. My daughters have recently gotten me back into drawing as I put my pencils down a long time ago due to being diagnosed with PTSD as a result of going to war. PTSD attacks your mind in areas that one wouldn’t have not ever thought. Losing my love for drawing was one of the casualties of it. Great content and keep them coming.

[@overskilled1393]

Her voice is something i can hear all day and ber drawing is out of this world 🔥🌍😍😍😍❤️❤️, i Drew my first portrait after watching ur tutorial thank you so much for this amazing content 🔥✨⚡keep us updated

[@clydeadair3809]

Darlene, you are such a fine artist and I'd love to just be able to sift through your "old" art work. Great videos too young lady.

[@chinnarajam9880]

Yes!!!! We need an another portrait

[@JNeedels]

That looked so hard to use that paper and pencil! Once you know the right tools, it’s almost impossible to go back unless you’re forced to. Beautiful result. Most people don’t have any idea how long it takes to finish a realistic drawing. I agreed with you…focus on self improvement rather than comparing yourself to others. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnneal5118]

Love your commentary style. Thank you for your time and the giving of your spirit. Draw on!

[@whisperingeaglelanders2339]

Wow! The 2nd one is amazing!!! I always tend to overwork my drawings and paintings....😁

[@RapidFireArt]

Thank you! Nice to know I'm not alone! I was kind of relieved when the lead ran out haha. Who knows how long it would've gone on for 😜

[@jkjchi]

Outstanding! Please continue with more instructions. Very helpful!

[@courtneygholson5342]

You are the best teacher I've had so far!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@louisekrause8559]

So glad I stumbled onto your site!! Love your work, you have inspired me to start sketching again Love your work, and your clear and concise guidance Thank you Greetings from South Africa

[@bangtanala4558]

You are a true inspiration for me! I've picked up drawing again and I'm re-learning every technique. It's been very fun yet tiring. Sometimes I want to quit a drawing and not finish it. But, watching your videos and learning from you, has helped me find motivation to keep going, so thank you so much! I wish someday I can be as good as you! I This video was so interesting, and I would love to see another one ❤️

[@ShuvsSketch]

Beautiful and amazing✨

[@phucnguyen-je1wf]

Thanks for sharing your amazing tutorials. I love your so sweet and warm voice. Please share more of your videos I have learned so much from your teaching

[@sairaislam6394]

that was amazing experience I want more like this. Thumbs up

[@toonybrain]

Beautiful. You aren’t enamored of drawing animals, but you entirely captured the essence of that cat. And your fur is persuasive. Lovely. You’ve certainly come a long way.

[@thambaarts319]

Lovely work!! Keep posting

[@bobyranidas6774]

So cool. I love it 💗. Your portrait is incredible.

[@charmainecarr1816]

Omg… love your tutorials.. I am drawing!!!! Thankyou for breaking it down into bite size pieces and making this experience so accessible to anyone with just the basics.. ❤️

[@aw1091]

Wow so beautiful 😍.

[@RosaGarcia-kn5dt]

So nice to see you back. I wondered what happened to you. Your portrait is definitely WOW! Loved the values.

[@fathimaparveen3499]

Nice 👍👍 I am waiting for this video ☺️😊

[@krzysztofwolski9156]

It looks beautiful! I love the texture of the new drawing :)

[@anveshasaroha5774]

You are just amazing✨

[@Chabelita312]

Amazing work 👏👏👏

[@Ratsamyo]

You’re did a great job in my opinion and thank you for sharing!❤️👍👍

[@grahamparr3933]

That is a massive improvement😀👍👍👍 do not compare your work to others, no matter how good you get, you will always find another one better, that is just how it is, everybody has a ceiling, as long as you think you have improved that is all that matters, doing your own work over is the best way.

[@80yashsondagar87]

I really like your videos. Please upload more videos!!

[@RajatKumar-ux6jg]

Special request to you .. Please make a detailed video on how to draw portrait 😊✌️ You are one of my Ideal .I follow your every video 🤗

[@daveh4208]

you've jumped leaps and bounds. What I would like to see is one more drawing of this exact same portrait but using all the tools and methods you've learned over the past 12 years.

[@monakw]

Great improvement! A little over an hour for each year! lol

[@drawwithrk3121]

Please make another video like this one.

[@strangemarvel7887]

[@ujwalab1703]

Please make more shapes videos🙏🙏

[@ayyeyo]

Been drawing for almost six months, i can definitely compare myself from ''not being able'' to ''be able'' but lately i'm feeling jaded and stuck,but i cant just quit it i still want to strive hard. Frustration can hit hard somtimes sigh*

[@uncleatelier8495]

You're really good at drawing characters. ~~^^🤴🤴😂😂😂😂

[@ana..cleangirlx]

Fun challenge :)

[@phyllisasiamah3131]

Congratulations, I'm a beginner and I live in Brazil, you are a very good teacher and location, although I understand little English, you have vidios about s

[@gulshan1642]

I want more portaits from you

[@abeesparza74]

WE WANT ANOTHER!!...WE WANT ANOTHER!!!... Do you hear us Darlene... another redraw please

[@cristjohnyumang6674]

I like your drowing

[@curiousnita]

For real ❤️ only u see the mistakes 🤪 I'm like wow that's so pretty ❤️

[@jamesshepard4743]

I think some of the issues you get from the paper being too thin could be resolved by stacking the paper a few sheets

[@christystone2254]

Would you ever consider coming out with a ‘How to Draw’ book? I would definitely buy it.

[@tropicalsun07]

Your 19 years old drawing is still good.

[@Stormborn_717]

This is the first time I saw you. You look so cute just like your voice.

[@joseph1o137]

Another one please

[@bradchervel5202]

Becareful to not shame your beginner self. This isnt BAD ART. This is a part of the journey onwards. Many people cant draw as good as your "bad art" currently but may progress well beyond if they dont consider it such.

[@thomasx2404]

I have trouble drawing eyes (same length, width) and nose from front view. Any suggestions to improve? Thanks

[@at8630]

Love your work and teaching style. I am now one of your disciples. You look more like 19 than 31 in your video.

[@theaudiobookreader2541]

you come back

[@Jakewebberfannn]

how are you so good T-T

[@Luna-jd3wo]

Omg her past drawings are better than my present 😂😂😂😂

[@FUTrading]

"this is gonna be pretty embarrassing..." *proceeds to show art better than anything ive ever made*

[@TheDjg1997]

I used to draw realistic people, I decided to stop doing that because it was very hard so I moved on to draw bodies of superheroes. This made me going to draw again. Can you please teach me how step by step?

[@C0nstellati0ns]

That was great. I find it interesting that it looks like the person in the new drawing looks like he aged a bit as well.
