    I bought your lesson of "The secret to drawing" and now I am able to draw . You are really a great teacher , your talent is as a teacher too, never I heard an explanation to draw a tree that make me able to draw the tree with leaves, but by your explanation then made me able to draw the tree with clumps of leaves! I am very lucky to find a teacher like you! Thank you very much. I am going to buy again another lessons from you soon!

      @@billinrio I haven't changed anything and why would I? I was simply trying to say "thank you" for showing an easier way to draw trees. But for some reason, you feel the need to attack someone that's giving you a compliment and saying thanks! Just forget it and PLEASE! LEAVE ME ALONE! and I promise not to bother you with compliments ever again! Oh BTW, if I had changed it in any way, it would say "edit it" beside the statement or reply!!!

      If you're interested in learning to draw, it's a very good idea to start off with some very basic fundamentals. Having a more well rounded understanding of form, shape, values, texture etc will help tremendously when practicing along drawing tutorials such as this one. Doing some simple exercises with more simplified objects will also give your hand some confidence. Making smoother, quicker and more confident marks is the key to making a more convincing drawing
