So good

i love this piece! Your use of artistic license is superb- i'm in the bad habit of being too literal to my subject. I love your creativity and imagination.

Thanks Peter! It has definitely taken some time to venture away from interpreting my subjects too literally or following the reference exactly. I find I have more fun when I allow myself to change whatever I want to change!

Hi this my second video that im watching from you and i enjoy watching your channel and i must say you are very talented and you just earned a new subscriber,you should probably upload a little more and you inspire me to draw and do art stuff. Your videos are actually really satisfying to watch but anyway keep up the good work and have a good day. Xoxo, Love from Trinidad ❤️😘.
