This is one of the best shape lessons I have ever gotten. Thanks Don.

[@DonAndrewsAWS]

Thank you! I try to break it down so everyone can understand!

[@22GmaRocky]

I agree… Showing the original shapes, but then how much it changes with all of the background. Really amazing example and showing the final outcome. Thank you.

[@susannesoal6618]

Many thanks so informative ,just what I needed

[@majrminer]

Keep putting out videos, Don. People are looking for this info and I like the way you put it together. Maybe do a couple videos just about the very simple concepts like color blending, sketchbooks, materials, etc. Have you ever used watercolor pencils in your art or sketchbooks?

@@DonAndrewsAWS Honestly it's explaining perspective......without explaining perspective. It's so simple!
