So the "angle technique" goes into the toolbox - I'm assuming here that it was up for adoption! Everything is up for adoption! :D Unless, of course, you dispute its use, think there are better ways to accomplish the same task, or consider it complete madness. I'm quite happy to accept tha...

Layering and Blending From the top down... The layering exhibits your usual, and indeed expected, skill of perfectly gradating values. Who needs automation or AI when you can have a Wayne. Is that implying 2B OVER 6B? It has the appearance of the reverse - 6B over 2B. As a rule, hard over soft will...

I've got, and have used, the LUCY. Used only once, for the video, but it worked as well as I thought it might.

You'll find the footage and demo in: GUIDELINE DEVICES (starts at 1:50)

There is also a "$10 off" code you can use when purchasing.

There's some good work going on here. You've interpreted, rather than copy, and that approach is the one you should always be aiming for. Even if the result looks just like the reference, you've still gone through the process of understanding what you're drawing. The three-dimensional form works wel...

I've started to put something together for you, Darby... but I just realised our power will be off tomorrow from 9am to 4pm (I think they're running power to new-build houses in the village). So I'll not be able to do much until the evening. I'll have something ready for you on Thursday or Friday - ...

Personally, I take no notice of the light shining off the graphite. Because, on completion, I spray the drawi...

Just something has happened, I can not name it, but I feel more confident, and it's hard to explain, but I can see more than before, sort of beyond? I'm just drawing as I used to, but my recent drawings look better somehow? I don't know, but I'm starting liking my drawings? I've been there. More th...

I have one tiny suggestion, but otherwise... Wow! :o When I look at this, I see a dog looking back at me. Not a drawing. A dog. And a dog with recognisable character. Both friendly and clever. If you told me, he really can tie his own bow tie... I'd believe you. ;) The niggling little something: Tho...

...I think you could with no effort pick up this and that at this stage - so I could have learn on my faults (😉) Instead - you keep convincing me, that I'm doing it well, and I'm carry on the right direction 😉👍 There a very good reason for that... It's because you're doing it well, and carrying on ...
