This probably isn’t a good advice considering algorithm, but I’d say: show us what you feel, don’t cut information you find helpful because it wouldn’t fit in a certain video length. You’re a good teacher

Stephen, I like the design of your offerings with some "strategic" theory-related content and some "tactical" step-by-step content...the why's and the how's of drawing. For adult learners, this is instructionally the most sound and effective format. I think that's why I come back every day.

I appreciate instructions on how to see the piece you want to draw. Drawing / art starts with the visual understanding of relationships within a piece you want to draw even if it is from your imagination. Being able to see how others are viewing an object and put it to paper is most helpful to me.

Congratulations on 1000 videos. My favorite video of yours was the one with the bird drawing. I prefer real time speed, easier to follow. I really like long, beginning to end tutorials 40 minutes to an hour with commentary so I can attempt to draw along with you when I have the time. I appreciate it that you provide free reference photos with the tutorial. I really like when you speak outside. Such lovely scenery where you live. I am struggling to learn shading, especially cross hatching. Thanks for the great drawing videos.

Hi from Southern Pennsylvania. Most helpful videos to me are "how" to look at them. Shapes & forms.

I found you through your perspective videos since I find that the most mysterious topic for me. Personally I would prefer a longer and more in depth dive into perspective. I thought I had an ok grasp on the topic but after your video differentiating "eye level" and "horizon line" I was completely lost on how those 2 could be the same thing. I'd love to catch one of your lives and ask you one day.

Now I’m really enjoying the 10min ones. I learn a lot from them

Another one for the gym again😔 I though YouTube would notify me but it didn't. I was probably sketching my daily drawing at the time! How frustrating, checked through all my notifications and only told me that you uploaded something two hours ago..sigh

Personally, I need videos on being efficient in making choices. I always spend far too much time on building up shapes and volume. It's hugely time consuming. I desperately want need to be faster but equally efficient.

Most conceptual discussions are helpful, too.
