    I remember living in Australia for a while in grade three and beside the school I attended there was a bakery that I went to at lunch time and most days I had the kangaroo meat pies or the kangaroo sausage rolls! lol🦘

    Otters are cute! The tree kangaroo’s faces look lots like the North American black bears. They climb trees, too.

    Your otter otter come live with me! 😝he'll have lots of fun watching the otters in the canal 🤣 u managed to sketch them!! that's a feat considering how fast they can move (there's a film crew that's constantly running up and down the canal trying to catch them in action). Thanks for the real time footage! Love that kanga sketch! 😍

    Great sketches Alvin! I enjoy watching your real time drawings. I've had my eye on those Derwent Drawing pencils and that Chocolate color is really nice. It looks like it doesn't smudge alot and you got a killer point on it!

      @AlvinMarkArt  3 года назад +1

      Thanks for letting me know. It's been awhile since I've used them, so I got a couple to use on my sketching journeys. Yes, apparently, the chelate one doesn't smudge.

      @@AlvinMarkArt I thought your idea of doing it a speed up but with a real time piece inserted, that was interesting to watch. But I would allow that people short of time might not warm to that compromise. I expect your view counts show the situation clearly after the first few trial videos, and after you added the phrase "real time" into the title. Let's just say I appreciate your videos the way you're making them and want you to know that. Also when you switched into gouache as a water based oils type medium, I thought those were great too. Much appreciated!

    • @AlvinMarkArt
      @AlvinMarkArt  3 года назад +1

      Thank you for this. I’ve been investing more time into the videos. 3 days per episode which makes me think I should keep it to 1 episode a week. I’m trying all sorts of things now to figure out what people like. Real-time has been a pet-peeve of mine, who would watch it, right? 😅 but many love it apparently. I fall asleep while editing videos with real-time esp when I’ve to go over it over and over again. 😁🤭 so maybe just the super quick 5 min sketches. Appreciate your feedback always!

    Nice sketches. We have river Otters and even some sea going ones in British Columbia but they are not easy to find. Enjoyable video.

    • @AlvinMarkArt
      @AlvinMarkArt  3 года назад

      The otters are definitely around. We have families moving around in our tight little city - canals and parks. But yes, difficult to spot them. So I always get to sketch them at the zoo.
