    I had to laugh that I was thinking exactly the way you described. I’ve been insisting the trees I choose to draw be the easy ones I know are out there. Thanks!!

    i actually had to pause when I heard you explain how drawing a face can turn out disturbingly wrong. I was laughing so hard I couldn't pay attention to what you were saying. The reason i found this so funny is because I have been there done that! Thanks for the healthy laugh fit LOL

    I have been trying to draw a biological looking tree for 2 months and just today the tree I drew actual showed progress forward. This tree was from my mind and not looking at one you had done as a crutch.

  • Hello. What kind of pens do you usually use? Greetings from Spain.

    Do you have any good drills that would help my brain unlearn the idea of using solid lines to define borders/boundaries? I doodled a lot when I was younger doing mostly hard edged objects and always found soft/abstract things like trees, people, etc very difficult. I have been trying my hand at the daily upload videos and find trees unnecessarily difficult in terms of shading.

    It's not. They're the easiest thing to draw and look good, even for amateurs
