Great job! These are incredible! I’ve always struggled with feathers. Were these traditional or digital?

Sketched along with the 30 second and 2 minute example video. Practice, practice, practice.

Had a chance to traditionally paint my cats a few nights ago. I think it turned out better than I was expecting.

Strathmore toned tan and toned grey. Nice texture to the paper and since they are toned it allows you add white pencil/pen to make stuff pop.

I would like to join any of the groups for this.

My favorite fast food meal. Lol

Apparently I have a thing for birds.

@sas When I first started with digital there was a huge disconnect for me between my tablet and the monitor. It was hard making an adjustment when I wasn't physically looking at my drawing/painting tool. It just took practice with it to become comfortable. I still feel more competent with a pencil/pen when doing quick sketches though.

If you are using tablet and monitor separately (not cintique / ipad pencil) I would definitely look at your settings and make sure your tablet has the same aspect ratio as your monitor. If its not then you will always draw misshapen ellipses/circles .

Other than that just get the mileage with it and do some warm up / line exercises every chance you get.

@sophie-lawson Thanks!

Thought I’d share my progress over the past year
