Stan's comment about printer paper kinda blew my mind. I never ever even thought about practicing on cheap paper! This sent me down a rabbit hole of Amazon. What I did find is a 250ct stack of 150gsm Vellum Bristol for 25 dollars. It feels very nice to draw on, is still a little bit thicker and cheap. Dont mind the pads, I'm trying to find papers that I like. Thats been a journey in itself.

Jon, dunno if you still visiting this course from time to time, but man that shirt is looking cool on ya :P

I'm about to start this class, but I'm not good at English so I need subtitles. Could it possibly be added?

Hi, I’d like to share my results. I highly recommend using a blue-lead pencil to create a grid—it made a huge difference in keeping things organized. A T-square ruler is truly a game-changer!

hehe, I watched this maybe five times already ^^ amazingly made animated lecture

hi Marshall, just got into your course today, you're a wonderful teacher with positive funny personality :) this will be an amazing journey!

I would have never looked at a piece like this, thats more nature based, and stopped to think this much about the use of perspective and now I probably wouldn't be able to look at any piece without considering its perspective, even if its for a fraction of the time I look at it. That's a valuable lesson on its own, I suppose.

did anyone ever asked and David replied/explained why is he tapping his pen so thickly ? :) to protect fingers ? seems like more pain :D

well done David :) real pro, sticking with your course till the end!

wonderful drawing skills Eliza, just the way I'd love to draw myself :) keep merging the portraits, stylizing them to your own taste, adding some impressionistic elements etc.
