I believe you have lost your marbles
Not at all… They’re right here, hard as stone as usual.

I’am learning so much from watching these tutorials. They are so much more informative than stage by stage pictures in a magazine.
I especially like the way you show the parts where it goes slightly wrong and then how to correct it, something you never see in a magazine.
Looking forward to the next
Thank you very much !
I try.
Most of the other tutorials available don’t really show mistakes because the artists are proud… And probably much better than I am.
I’m still not sure I’m an artist, but I’m a teacher for sure… I’m not ashamed to make mistakes, that’s how one progresses, and that gives me an opportunity to show you how to correct or diminish the impact of that sort of blunder.
Of that, I am proud !

Reminds me of Bob Ross and his happy little accidents.. I think showing mistakes and how to correct them is very important
