Amazing! Who needs yoga or relaxation classes when we have your drawing videos.

I just found your YouTube drawings, and really wanted to thank you for offering your time and effort, I know that this requires a lot of work on your part, but I am sure that there are a small "army" of folks like my self that are truly appreciative! I have laid down my pencils for awhile now, but after watching. I am going to get back to it! I really like your work and again want to say thank you for your tutelage, sacrifice and inspiration.

This looks so lovely. Thank you for taking the time to make tutorials like this. You make a beginner feel like a pro.

Smoothie, I never tire of watching your tutorials! This is my favorite and I'm getting up the courage to try it.

I tried this one and even though I lacked the Derwent Pencil Eraser with brush it still ended up as the best pencil sketch I've ever done. Without that eraser I wasn't able to get the tiny, bright leaf highlights you demonstrated but it was great nonetheless. Thank you so much for this. Subscribed.

Every time I view one of your videos, I amass so many sketching techniques. Based my first sketch (ever) on watching one of the landscapes with trees, bridge, water. Then, went after some masterwork oil paintings to copy (Hudson River School), using various grades of graphite (trying to figure out different grades since I don't know about them), and keeping my laptop in front of me to take your lesson. ALMOST FORGOT ... the laying down of powder graphite to establish tonal values! And, your use of various erasers to give impression of light. Realized I had not used them in last two sketches, but powder makes such a difference for tonal values. I keep a jar w/lid closeby to scrape graphite since I use various grades. Will graduate to 2B soon, I hope. Thank you so very much for your videos .. as I've said before, you are brilliant .. as an artist and teacher. So great.

WOW! What a serene scene! It truly spoke to me…I want to be in that place. Beautiful work! ❤😊

[marshahostetler]

I could watch you draw all day! I have done more dramatic people with graphite but I think I will have to try a landscape after watching you. Thank you for tips they have really helped me.

[chrislynagh]

So therapeutic. I love the way that detail slowly but surely appears. Thank you.
