When I feel like quitting painting I watch one of your videos and get inspired again. Thanks

I wish you would make a video on how to use the 7 color block method, I would love it if you would go into details about separating the colors into 7 block of colors

That colour blocking idea using Photoshop is absolute 🔥. Thank you for sharing. 💛

This has been so incredibly helpful. I used similar methods last night when i tried my hand at painting a super fuzzy baby jumping spider. I wasnt actually trying to make it realistic, but just laying down the shape and shading, and using the blocking method just to get a foundation to go off of and work from there. But i realized it was so close to the real photo, without all the insane details, so i kept going. I cant believe how simple it made the entire process. And now that I've watched this video, youve put it all together for me and have really transformed my work. If that makes sense? Sorry, my English is not the best.
I am just so very grateful for you and your willingness to teach others how to improve their art. I am definitely subscribing to your channel.

Bro....I love you for this video. I still can't believe you gave us this information for FREE!!! As a new artist...this is very daunting but also a very necessary step towards realism and realism is all that I am really interested in painting when it comes to picture type paintings.
