I must have adhd because after watching this for 5 minutes my mind was just wandering all over the place. Maybe I should right an adult illustrated book about adults who cannot keep a train of guy goes to the coffee shop and ends up at the zoo instead because he is easily distracted by fleeting thoughts.

What a very humble, honest & egoless teacher! As an art & design graduate with a bachelors degree, my university training was seriously lacking in the lovely qualities that Will Terry possesses! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!

When you mentioned finding a class to learn about design; Today Art Station Learning went free for the rest of the year thanks to a grant from Epic Games. I think there are definitely courses on there about that. And more. Over 160 courses. Definitely something to take advantage of as an artist!

Thank God I came across this video of yours. I love drawings and always have that difficulty to get the right color for my drawings that's why I ended up drawing in black and white (I draw digitally). I am so grateful that I got to learn these tips from you. Definitely helps a lot! Thank you so much, Will Terry!

GREATEST information. Your video was so intuitive. It explained stuff that was frustrating me so badly because I didn't know enough to know that I didn't know. 😂 This was step one to becoming able to view a piece of children's book art and understand it. I was absolutely ignorant about everything, which is odd because I've always drawn and appreciated art. How could I have been so profoundly clueless? You should see my first attempts. No, nobody should! Lol, but now I want to try again. THANK YOU!

It's been a while since I watched one of your videos. I forgot how good they were. Thanks for the great advice.

Fantastic illustration. Good to see someone that wants other Artists to succeed where Art Education has failed. Bravo. 🤗

You provide so much value in a video and you explain so well. I can’t wait to purchase your classes. This is one of the best sales technique you could’ve done. Congrats, and thank you
