This is a commission that's been a bit overdue. I really considered doing just a timelapse since this video is so long, but I decided to put it out there mostly full. I talked through the whole thing, so it seemed like a waste to not use it.

bit late, but I feel like a lot of people in the comments are on the same wavelength here. This video is absolute gold. watching your whole process from start to finish is really helpful for me because I'm quite new to inking, and seeing you be so calm after dropping that massive blob of ink on your page honestly made me rethink whether my screwups are really as unsalvageable as I've always thought them to be. Your narration is great too, just packed with so much valuable information. Thank you for uploading this video, I really hope you get to record and upload more!

David, when I was a young man I taught myself to play guitar. I would often ask my friends who were more skillful to show me chords and techniques. I remember a few who would simply refuse, rather hoarding their knowledge for reasons I could not fathom. I simply remember being crushed. You have no idea how amazingly grateful we who are aspiring to learn to draw appreciate your willingness to spend time letting us look over your shoulder. When I look at your finished work it's that much more amazing to know that you sometimes "struggle" during the process, as struggling is what we beginners do 90% of the time. Thank you so much. Your drawings are that much more amazing to behold having watched the entire process. Actually, you better be careful; I might start thinking I can actually learn how to draw.

It is a brief glimpse into your perception of reality and how you are able to translate that into your work, which is what I suspect most people are really looking for.

Man David, if I had your in-depth, instructional videos when I was growing up, I probably wouldn't have given up drawing. I know artist, even one of your caliber, don't like to see yourselves as extraordinary...but you are! There are kids all over the world watching, not just because of your awesome artwork, but because you have a cool personality and you deliver valuable information in a clear, concise way. You could do videos solely on drawing stick figures and I guarantee people will be glued to the screen...you should do that actually 😎👍
