    You should do a video where you redraw all of these with a reference to show the difference between the two and how important using a reference can be :D

    The skull of Sam's enemy will never get old. And honestly, I'm very impressed that you were able to draw all that from memory. I did it as well, and half of my sketches look like something that came from a kindergarten class. Great work as always, Sam!

    So I don't know if you'll see this, but I want to thank you for all your great art tips and advice on your channel. My art has improved so much because of your videos, especially the ones where you critique other art pieces. I'm now teaching my very first art class on character design & digital painting at our local Center for the Arts and it's all thanks to you and your channel!! So thank you so much for indirectly helping me to progress from an art baby to an art teacher, especially since now I get to help art babies become art gods, too! Really appreciate your content & advice, and I hope you know that your helping so many art babies become art gods like you!!

    so, I did all of these with you and Im surprised with the result. Im more used to drawing humans and I barely draw objects, to my surprise, beside the beach people that I do think I drew pretty well, the animal, bird, snail and turtle look very good too. Aside from animals, I drew the beer bottle and the witch better than I thought I would. All the rest are pretty much what I expected. This challenge turned out more fun than I thought.

    I do this challenge a lot because it's a good way to see how you've improved and it can also just be more fun than sticking to a reference every time. A good way to decompress! (Also the tortoise is my favourite. It looks like he knows something and he's seen too much)

    Bad jokes aside, I have most of my life drawn without reference, and only lately started to look at them. Usually I am able to store images in my head, but references do help speed up the process and makes sure I dont add in faulty perspective. I still draw without references, but less than before. Also, it depends on how realistic it's supposed to be. Enjoyed the video.
