Oh Jon bless you , those who know you as all of us do on Patreon know how unassuming you are and none of us would think twice about you plugging a superb site which truly enables us to progress constantly in our art journey. I’ve made many good friends on your channel and have been immeasurably enriched as a consequence, plus the most important thing in three years with you, you have turned me into a good graphite artist . The skills I’ve learnt from you I have applied recently to pastel pencils and I know despite being only on my second drawing that I’m turning out good high quality work, is this being boastful or lacking in humility.... no it isn’t because I know that I owe it all to you, and people should be aware of what you are doing for all of us who have the will and determination, I will also be doing this lovely drawing, learning ink now lol

Thanks Margaret, you say the nicest things, you have no idea how much your support and encourage means to me, you don't owe me anything, its been a real pleasure to have you on Patreon and now as a friend too, God bless you Margaret, you're the best!

A new upload from Smoothie77...a breath of fresh air during troubling times!

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Nicholas, that's very kind of you to say that :)

Great drawing again Smoothie, pls don't apologise for mentioning patreon as I think most people realise ( or should do) that the video they see for free on here wouldnt be here if it weren't for you earning a living through patreon. Keep up the good work matey

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks cymap, much appreciate, I'm please you understand why I mention patreon in each video, very kind kind and thoughtful of you to say that!

[@oilyblog]

I only started drawing a month ago. I left it late in life at 53 years old! I've always been one of "I can't draw" crowd. But I got some paper, pencils, blenders, erasers, etc and made a start. I've been watching a number of your videos and I'm learning from them, so I thought it only right to sign up on Patreon, which I did yesterday. I really appreciate your commitment to the videos, which really help.

[@julieduncan4075]

Gorgeous! You go ahead and mention Patreon all you want! 🙂

[@billtopintl]

Amaing drawing! You showed that Ink and graphite can really work together and aren't just separate things!

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Birdz, they make a great combination

[@AbdullahKhan-uw9kq]

This is absolutely gorgeous and your work is so well put together.

[@joncaradies3155]

Wow ! Nice ..... Dynamic tonal range and I love the thought of using ink in the fore-ground and graphite in the background . It adds so much depth and atmosphere !

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Jon, its a combination that works well together.

Just to add I'm new to pen and ink and I'm now on portrait 4, I messed up, the 1st couple I tried a ink rubber and he is right it started to damage my paper.

[@RamirezFlores]

You’re giving free content here so if anyone complains about your mentioning of Patreon I’ll just suggest to them that they get their 0.00$ refund and go elsewhere. Great work and I may just go check out your patreon. Shalom ✌🏼

[@marfred87]
