Apparently the new update is here!

@NessIllustration interesting. Good to know. Was worried that some faceless algorithms would be flagging my fave channels for fines.

@Basil-Godevenos welcome fellow Canadian. I’m 55 and at the beginning as well. So you’ve got plenty of time!

For those who have YouTube channels, are you concerned about the new FTC rules? A lot of the creator’s of kid’s book channels I follow seem to be freaking out right now. Seems the FTC fines could be quite hefty if you don’t designate your videos as being for kids (even if they are not) and they later find kid friendly material on it -like cartoon characters, or bright colours??
I sense that there are going to be a lot of artist channels that could fall into that category - not directed at kids but containing kid friendly content.

Perfect timing! I have been looking for exactly this topic to give me more structure to my learning. Can’t wait to listen

@TessaW thanks yes, I am reviewing Proko’s videos - also contemplating doing his portraits course. Will just keep practising - my goal is 100 heads this month.

Decided to buckle down and practice Loomis heads this month. Not sure how to know when to move beyond the structures to the next stage.

More watercolour therapy

Congrats to the contest winners! Well deserved.
I am a bit torn about the new format of the critique arena though. While I appreciate having positive elements of each image highlighted, I feel I learn so much more from discussions or draw overs on how images can be improved. just my 2 cents...

@TessaW aww thanks!
