AWESOME video - the don’ts and dos approach really helped make sense of the drawing process. THANK YOU.

[@supercheekykiwi]

Great video. All I need is a cat!

[@glenda7921]

Love the don’ts format. So many YTubers are afraid to have an opinion. Thanks for the bold instruction. Your skill is all the credibility needed.

@@EmilyOlsonArt You will love them!

[@pemssong]

Helpful video - thanks!

[@theamateurpoint8755]

The only thing I don't like in this video is to see a wonderful paper sheet get ruined to teach the don't do part 😜 other than that necessary heart break, these are awesome videos. But I also love graphite, charcoal and colored pencils... So all you want to show is so welcome 😊

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

So glad you enjoyed! And yes, sacrificing the paper is sometimes a tragic necessity...

[@overalsterretjes1796]

Would love to see more on graphite 😊

[@EmilyOlsonArt]
