Hi everyone. I know that this is not a bull. I made a mistake in calling it one. Apparently, according to all of the comments - a big mistake. This video is not about identifying a bull from a cow. It is about combining watercolor and pen and ink. It is an art video - not a biology lesson. I hope that you can enjoy it and I hope it helps you create art. It certainly won't help you identify a bull though :)

Come on folks, it's happened to me personally sooo many times that the vocab part of my brain turns off as the art part of my brain is in full swing. So why all the petty "it's not a bull" comments? Dude's got an amazing channel--one of my few favorites on YT in the quality art category that inspired me to start my own 4+ years ago--and he shares all his instruction so generously for free here. Maybe let's focus on his awesome and generous teaching skills, a'ight?

@@thevirtualinstructor You're so welcome, Matt. Yeah, between researching a subject, planning a piece, creating that piece, filming, editing, scripting, voiceover recording, and then editing the video again to add audio recording and popups, etc., I spend 25+ hours on each of my videos, and I bet you're investing around the same time (in your case you may have a crew doing some of that work). Great job with your awesome channel and website and God Bless.

I was going to mention the bull vs cow thing but I see it has already been addressed. The point of the video is about the art, wonderful by the way, however knowing biology to identify your subject adds HUGE credibility to your cause and doesn't confuse the heck out of your audience. We, the audience, would like to feel that you know what you are talking about, that you are the expert so we can learn from you. Perhaps this cow identifies as a bull? LOL keep up the good work, I enjoyed this video on many levels! 😊
