I think it's a bit sad you skipped over some of the import/hard parts

Its a compromise, recording requires me to adopt a position that is not 100% comfortable so I stop recording once I'm happy with the footage and finish the step. Other times I accidentally slip off the frame while painting and can't use those parts. I still think the steps are clear though. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!
