One of the funnest tutorial I can remember doing. His casual confidence energy reads through to viewer and the information in clear and helpful. I typically have a hard time letting the creativity go and the drawing evolve itself while drawing, but I found myself eager to get my stack of papers and start to see what came out. It was a joy and just the thing I had been searching for. My drawing and confidence is noticeably stronger and better thanks to this tutorial. Brief example: you know how most tutorials have a shapes section of drawing , shading, etc? His approach and view on it is what sold me from then on. Well done.
