This man draws hands with continuous lines and I can't even draw them with references and 3 art teachers beside me. Great work, sir!

Dear Matt, the minute you mentioned some people don't know HOW TO PRACTICE you just caught me. I didn't realize why I would find myself stucked whyle practicing. Overthinking is one of my challenges. Thank you so much for this reminder along with these great exercises in a nutshell. The membership program is amazing and worth subscribing. Buddy

These are excellent ways of breaking free of ordinary, every day cognition or perception. The upside down thing felt like walking on another planet! Breaking down gradations of value to two, three, then all was an eye opener too. Great tutorial.

Great video. A good idea would be to pick your favorite 6 tips, list them in the back cover of your sketchbook, and throw a dice to choose the exercise to do at the moment. Of course you can get one the fancy 10-sided dice if you can’t narrow down the list. Anyway, I appreciate the lesson. Thank you very much!

What's so complicated or advanced about cross contour lines? Just choose a simple object and practice. Upside down drawing isn't advanced either, it's just about drawing shapes, negative and positive. If you want to understand values just take a photo on a digital camera of a scene or still life you'd love to use as a reference, and then turn down the colour saturation.

Thank you. Think this will help. Do u recommend that method of drawing faces from a box? It seems so time consuming, but I’m struggling with things out of proportion in a way I didn’t when I was younger. Wish I never put the pencil down!
