Hello! I’m 15 and I am just starting out portraits, I am starting to feel comfortable drawing people and landscapes and this tutorial really helped get my references to sketch at the right proportions, thank you!

I just started drawing and I had an major break through. You're drawing the space in between the object! Not the object itself. Things started to click and I began to access my right brain. It was a big Ah Ha moment for me.

[@laurenball_illustrator]

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad it was helpful. I think this one skill is the most important and will help you in every drawing you do. The quicker you can master it the faster you'll improve as an artist.

I was so busy watching... I really need to get a sketch book out & draw something every day. I take enough pics on my phone that I want to have as a drawing reference... but I still manage to have an excuse.
I'll continue to follow ur lessons, tho. Maybe they'll pull me out of this rut.

[@laurenball_illustrator]

Thanks for your comment. I know how hard it can be to yank myself out of the rut too. Take a deep breath, grab your pencil and...go! Wishing you the best
