@@killiansirishbeer That’s very true for watercolour paper I find it makes 10000x difference when I use good watercolour paper compared to mix medium paper. But to improve skill you really shouldn’t invest into expensive products when trying to get better unless you’re trying to sell art then yes you should use top quality! But if I’m practicing or just drawing/painting for fun I use cheaper products. Ive been using pen as a medium for a long time and researching them I found out they can fade over a amount of time. I could be wrong because I haven’t read that in over a year but I remember It saying something like that.

Absolute genius!! What an amazing gift and such hard work put into everything he does.

This man is inspiring. That level of dedication to his artform really paid off, not just in the money he makes, but the work he creates. I hope kids will see his artwork and know that you can be successful without needing expensive coloring pencils or painting tools.

His commitment to recreating photos by hand is quite impressive. I think for that alone a lot of people will appreciate what he’s doing, but hyper-realism is not art. He has no link to the creative wellspring.

This is the definition of “cheap art supplies can make masterpieces if the artist is good”

I remember scribbling at the back of my notebook and when my teacher saw what I'm doing he immediately grab my notebook and showed it to whole class and told them that scribbling/drawing won't give you a better future. He embarrassed me in front of the class and I stopped drawing because of it. But because of various artist and the man in this video, I started to draw again and from now on, nothing is going to stop me from doing it.
