Hey I just discover your channel and all your pdfs! the way you accurately manage theory is so great and precise!! Even you clarifyed me about where the concept of Big Medium Small came from, you got a really great content!! Do you got more resources to recomend to read more about this? I¨m researching right now about visual perception and also how to introduce a new shape, once you stablish your main shape that is still in coherence and doesn¨t "betray" your visual language, basicalle how to make all cohesive together. Thank you very much! keep it up the great content!

Hey! nice video but i just wanted to give some feedback of what i'd love to see more
I'm not just wanting to learn more but i'd also like to see more of the creative process, the art in the video is gorgeous but it feels like a powerpoint presentation
If you could record some of the process of the drawings it would be a lot more capturing. The last video for example (monkey study) was absolutely perfect in that area. I'm not sure which direction you're trying to go with your videos, but maybe a blending of the 2 could hit that sweet spot.

From what i've seen on your channel so far, the content is still amazing and you've got a subscriber! i'm excited to see where you go as a content creator
