I loved this, the step-by-step breakdown of your process was very helpful. I'd love to see more animal portrait tutorials in different mediums, like oil, acrylic, and pastel.

Thanks for creating this tutorial, it was very instructive and helpful.

Thank you for detailed explanation!
It is really hard to figure out how to imitate watercolor digitally, your video helps a lot!

It’s amazing how much difference the white splatter layer makes! I would never have realized that. Thanks so much for your great instruction and super brush sets!!

Gorgeously done, great job. I enjoyed watching this come to life, thanks!

[lyndaroman]

Great video. I could watch you paint all day. So much better than a standard tutorial because you let us inside your head! Thanks.

[smullis]

Love your videos. The explanations of the layers makes it so much easier to understand the painting style.

[Sathrenor]

Love it! That's exactly what I was looking for!
I was struggling finding a style where I would be satisfied with my outcome and I think I hit the jackpot here. Thank You so much for this!

Dear Natan! What makes your tutorial to stand out is that you show technique of each step. That is what I learn hard way now. Please add loose landscapes to the list. Thank you for your valuable contribution for beginners!

Great in depth tutorial! I've been using your brushes for a couple of months now and I am really impressed so far. For a future video I am very interested in the different kind of uses for the all different blend modes.

This was amazing! I love your painting style and I've been looking for a tutorial that would introduce me to it--this is perfect. I greatly appreciate you sharing the reasoning behind each step of your process; that always helps a method stick in my mind better rather than rote memorization of do this step, then this step, then this step, ta-da you're done. Keep 'em coming! You rock.

I would love to see your new recording set up Nathan.
I bought some of your brushes gosh they are sooo good mate!
Thank you for uploading and showing us your process.
Have a G'Day mate.

First go at following one of your tutorials, thank you! Mixed up the brushes to use the 'short fur' from the Wildlife set. I like the process and the brushes but need to practice with both, so not entirely happy with my end result, that's totally on me. My go to is always wildlife so am going to apply what I've learnt and see how I go.

Thx for the video. How I forgot about theres watercolor in the ultimate brush box. These 2 brushes really are a great addition to the master watercolor set.

[connischaftenaar]

figured out how to tag my fox version to your Instagram. Thanks so much, so much fun!

Your artwork is so gorgeous! ❤ And these tutorials are amazing and incredibly detailed and helpful. I bought your brush set and was wondering if you would mind sharing briefly (as much as you’re comfortable with) how you create the wash stamps (and splatter ones too really)? Do you use existing procreate brushes to help with the pattern / wet effect or import actual traditional media? They are so realistic and awesome to use, I just feel kind of guilty not knowing the general creation process and blinding using them. Thanks and please keep uploading videos!!! :)

[angpound]

Wonderful tutorial thank you. I have the brushes so hope to do this.

Which Paper Texture stack did you use from the wet media pack please Nathan?
