I don't even work with pen and ink, but I ALWAYS go to your tutorials when I need to learn a new skill. You break it down so well!

You are such a good teacher! I have not seen a single artist on KZfaq providing as much value as you are. Bought your book, can't wait to receive it!

I agree. It's a massive cut above. I believe he should have a television show. It's like the Carl Sagan of drawing. Makes it so anyone can understand.

You are such an amazing artist and a great teacher. I'm really thankful for all the tutorials you've made. Thank you for bringing back my passion for art and the hope of becoming a professional artist one day. Once again, thank you so much.

I appreciate you not rushing through your tutorials. It gives people time to absorb the process. You are very clear in your explanations in addition to being a wonderful, talented artist.

Thanks for sharing stuff like this. One of my biggest difficulties when I "sit down to draw" is that I have no idea of what to draw, how to start, or what is "too hard", etc. It seems like all the real artists in the world - my wife included, who doesn't "study" drawing at all and has had zero training - just sit down and naturally start drawing something that looks awesome. It's a struggle for me. So, I default to "cubes" and "circles" and "basic forms" just so that I'm putting ink on paper, and it's rather frustrating. But you offer hope. For instance, I'm just now seeing your "seashells" tutorial, and I'm like "Hey, that's ANOTHER thing I need to learn and add to my repertoire." I'm going to buy your book more as a THANK YOU than for the book - although I need it and it will be wonderful - because I love your amazingly informative videos and the fact that I LIKE the style of drawing you teach. Call me a fanboy, I dunno. But I really, really mean it - THANK YOU.

Youre very welcome. A useful tip too is to just create a digital scrap book of things you'd like to draw and just draw them. one by one. Perhaps vary things as you go along, like change the proportion, the type of shading, the length of time you spend on it, etc
