Beautifully explained! I wish I'd had this type of instruction when I was in med school! Thanks!

Totally agree

@Marco Bucci I have a question about merging layers together that are in different modes in Procreate, please. When I tried merging the layers together that were in different modes (in the later half of the Procreate Owl demo) I found that I ended up with strange results- the colours changed. Marco, how do you merge those layers and retain their effects, please? I'm a Procreate user, with experience in traditiional oil. I wanted to be able to experiment with colours and composition - without the expense or mess! Thank you-- I really enjoyed learning your approach.
Kim Stepney
Thanks for the brush set-- great selection, very responsive in Procreate.

I need help. I’m having trouble with values, compositions and plane changes. I understand the anatomy but shading and separating my lights from my shadows to enhance the forms under the surface is very challenging for me. 😩😩😩😩 I’m super confused when it comes to that.
Kim Stepney
Learning the basic principles thoroughly so you can apply them to all forms would make your life much easier. I highly recommend Dorian Iten's The Shading Course https://www.theshadingcourse.com/ which will start again September 8. He does live feedback sessions on your submitted assignments on Wednesday mornings, and these are very useful. My understanding of shading went from superficial and theoretical knowledge to a thorough understanding of applied shading.
Kim Stepney
good evening Dorian- you're coming through clearly.

What would you say in a self-critique of this drawing at this point?
Kim Stepney
Thank you very much- the philosophy discussion was equally as interesting as the artistic demonstration and technical points.
Kim Stepney
would you please discuss your concept of shapes further- could you show us examples of the shapes you have chosen, rather than where you would simply "copy" the picture. What is the difference? thanks.

Don't know if he'll draw examples during the stream, but I'll ask him the question.
