The return of - RefWed! 20 (+no ref improv at 35 minutes in + tips)

[@AdamDuffArt]

Wow - that hour just blew by. I totally just went into this zen state watching you draw. You totally got me in the mood to draw now :) - oh and PS - I've been also strongly considering renting out a space outside of home, just for the sake of "having somewhere to go" (although I do love my little studio setup)

[@malikgarcia699]

Yess feel excited the same about the video absolutely Zen state everytime i watch it 🙌🏼

[@AhmedAldoori]

Ahh!! Thanks man. I’m glad it got you in the mood to draw. And having the separate space (only a few days so far) has been pretty great. It feels like I get to live life outside of my cube and grab coffee on the way, kind of thing

[@Maximili17]

For anyone that wants a free alternative to graffit studio (but obviously not as good): I use VLC player, a media player that a lot of people uses to watch movies and stuff. You can add image files to the playlist, set the duration of the images in settings and reproduce the playlist in random order. I need to time my studies or else I keep saying "I paint this shadow and then go to the next picture" but end up spending an hour with a reference when I shouldn't lol.

[@gerrardsoutham2841]

That's a super awesome tip! Thank you.

[@I3atosai]

The King has returned!!

[@vinesdesign]

So excited for the return!!! :D Also, the Gesture Drawing app is *at least* sold on artstation so you might try there. Not sure if it's sold other places, too.

[@masonoreilly7512]

YES I've been looking forward to these again

[@ThePaperboi]

Finally he is back i was on a way to long detox from Refwed

[@menal1982]

A video for the shiny object syndrome might be really helpful since i feel the same and keep jumping back and forth and cant seem to find my way to a solid idea i can commit alot of time

[@charmiisan]

Yaaay! We're back~ Also side note, the app can also be found on cube brush! I take it by time you see this, you've probably already gotten it haha. Anyway! Good to have ya back!

[@AhmedAldoori]

Ahhh yeah! Good to see you and thanks for the reminder about the app

[@EmmaMel0]

OMG OMG I MISSED THIS SO MUUUCH 😭😭💞 WHERES MY SKETCHBOOK-

[@kiddo1895]

My Master is here!

[@LillenArt2]

I have a billion ideas too, and it's super hard for me to focus on just one. I want to own a studio just to have people to help.

[@zooropa414]

you can make home gym or go outside for a run to break the mood of setting at home all the time, create an outside home mission

[@sadikgaming]

Man i like these thanks ahmed💙

[@imnooneh]

Hey man, make q video with marshall vandraff, sketchbook tour would be so coll, just an idea 😄, thanks for the tips

[@Jasminexaf]

yesss!

[@aiolosfritzalas2468]

hello im searching to get into an art group because i literrally have no one to talk about this stuff can someone help

[@kanachiaki]

Oh...I thnk I have that shiny object syndrome. I too have folders and folders of ref for new projects that I never do coz everytime I see a new image I get distracted. I didn't know it was a thing.

[@victorhelm6515]

I struggle immensely with staying focused on a single project and will ping pong around and rarely if ever finish any. Some tips about that shiny object syndrome would be very much appreciated!

[@olliet733]

I've found that if that's how you're brain works, it can help to embrace it! So have 2-3 different projects on the go at once that you can rotate through as you get bored. Task switching might be just how your brain works and I reckon sometimes that's ok

[@MichaelWVagg]

Working - particularly arting - from home can become isolating, I've found.

[@warrenpeace9314]

LESGOOOOO!!!!!!

[@tienlongpham7913]

I'm really interested with your course and I have a question regarding the medmap course, so if I bought the basic edition can I upgrade it to the complete edition later on or do I have to buy it full price again. Thanks a lot in advance and I'm sorry if my English sound weird, it's not my mother tongue

[@AhmedAldoori]

Yes, you’d have to just send an email to [e-mail] for the request

[@tienlongpham7913]

Get ur snacks and ur drawing utensils it's time for ref wednesdayyyy

[@drippinghanamizu]

If this is _The Return of the Ref_ , where are _The Fellowship of the Ref_ and _The Two Refs_ ? Can we get an _Elden Ref_ ? Thanks I recommend the Steven Zapata Discord: kzbin.infovideos and Janos' ArtZone: discord.com/invite/qBpBDTtSka You are welcome, dear wanderer.

[@aiolosfritzalas2468]

can we start a discord

[@zacharycieszinski5465]

Not sure if anyone here is from SoCal srea but wondering if there's anyone out there who knows of irl art groups who meets weekly or monthly?

[@mykelas531]

anyone has that first brush he used?

[@vinesdesign]

Should be in the free brushes link in the description if it's the same brush pack that I have. In my brushpack it's called "样本画笔 3 5". Looks like an oval brush with a bunch of texture to it.

[@mlordd]

Agree with the comment above, but you can also buy the medsmap course and get the brushes there

[@Evolution3P]

The shiny object syndrome is real!!, also it happens when you buy all kind of learning material for improving your art, but you never used them XD At least it happens to me.
