Hello Brandon. First of all, I want to say thanks for your color mixing videos. I was floundering with my color mixing until I saw your YouTube videos and then I got the basic concept of color mixing that I wasn't able to get before and my paintings improved overnight. You did a great job of explaining it. Thanks.
I want to mention something that I learned in a book called -Superhero Explosion: 60 Easy Lessons for Drawing Comics- by Neal Yamamto. He shows the technique where you start off with lightly drawn sketchy, rough lines like you were showing in your drawings, but then he adds a second step where he adds dark, finished lines with confident flowing strokes over it. Then he lightly erases the whole drawing, and it's like magic where the light sketchy lines completely disappear and only the finished dark lines remain visible. They will be a little light but you can just easily retrace them a little and darken them, or just leave them light and start shading. You can build up the drawing for as long as you like with light sketchy lines until everything is in proportion, and then you can carve in the finished dark contours confidently and then just run an eraser over the page leaving only the finished lines. It's a great technique for drawing confidently and accurately. It's a great book by Neal Yamamoto, maybe you'd like it.
Thanks again for your color mixing videos. They are the best color mixing videos I have seen on YouTube. Peace.

In my opinion drawing in proportion can be learned quickly, but to achieve likeness in portrait painting it takes a while to train your eye.
Painting from life, both alla prima or the indirect method with today's photography, hd cameras and light setups it is quite easy too.
That is why there is no need for classical art schools where you learn anatomy in order to portray reality.
Of course I still think that painting skills are the most important thing in art but that has to do with the CONCEPT and never with exploting your skills without anything to tell the audience.

I would definitely be interested in more of these in the future. Seeing your progress from one of your older videos in which you showed some sketches from when you wanted to be an illustrator really inspires me. Keep it up!
