    I first found your channel about a year ago after more than a decade of drawing and I can’t thank you enough, man. You’ve completely changed the game for me and put me onto a whole new level I never thought I’d be capable of. Any chance I get I share your channel with anyone who tells me “dude I wish I could draw like that”. Because of you I’m able to visualize my drawings in a 3D space and to finally wrap my head around how it’s affected by the lighting.
    Thank you so much! I’m so looking forward to finally having your books!

    I observe in all your videos, it seems you draw from the wrist/fingers using the tripod grip. Do you ever draw from the shoulder and/or use other grips (overhand, underhand, holding pen/pencil near the top, etc.)?

    Thanks, super useful like always and does goes perfectly with the book (which I love, cant wait for the third one).
    My struggle is with shading right the single element of the pattern. like in the top cube "crates" this is where things goes wrong for me.. textures that do not require that like hair (the middle cube) are much more easier for me..
    Is there a better trick for that or just - think about the light source and practice more??
