Another home run video! Thanks for all of your content. I hadn't drawn in almost 20 years and you are one of a few artists who got me going again. I wasn't even sure if I could draw anymore, but now the floodgates are open and I can't stop, and I am thrilled with the results. You got me thumbnailing and studying the masters I admired with your earlier videos, and you continue to inspire me. Thanks for everything :)

You always inspired me, now I know what I was missing to improve my ink. Really lovely work as always.

I just love your work. Your explanations are so clear and helpful. The drama of black and white is astonishing. It’s also just astonishing how powerful line work can be. Thank you for sharing and showing how to accomplish this kind of work, it´s so inspiring. 💖

Really enjoyed this one. The cut to some master examples from past videos you did was a nice touch showcasing how others rendered grass.

Thankyou, Chloe, for another brilliant video. I am just learning to draw with pen and ink, and grass, nature and animals will be my main subjects. Alan in the UK.

So many aha moments in this video. Thank you 🙏. Also, love that the first row of grass is at eye level. It's like a little world or ecosystem down there. Really captures the imagination and humble appreciation of nature.

I was trying to puzzle through how to approach inking a cornfield recently and this video came at the perfect time! Looking forward to applying some of these techniques 🥰

Great job ma'am. I'm an old retired carpenter trying to learn how to draw and paint and I have to admit it's a lot more challenging than I thought. Your videos and instructions are very helpful to me and I thank you for it.
