    My desk looks just like that! Except there’s more eraser lint.😂 Its refreshing to see someone else who almost aggressively lays down color as part of the process. Chris Cheng is wonderful, though I find myself intimidated by her. Your last video helped me relax and I finished three pictures in a week. Oh, and in case you haven’t heard this today: you’re wonderful and very much appreciated.❤️

    Lori, I loved this demonstration! And I appreciate your reminder to see leaves as a creative challenge instead of a boring chore. I think we can pick up other people's negative attitudes about the various challenges we face in tackling a page. And I've heard a many people lament doing leaves and I don't want to view it that way. Oh, and thanks for the light and shadow tips on inside and outside curves and stems! Great job! Lisa

    Hi Lori, I have been coloring my leaves this way since I can remember, but I don’t remember who showed me this way, could it have been you, do you remember ever doing a tutorial on leaves, this way? Btw, I think your desk looks just fine, you don’t want to risk blocking your flow of creativity by organizing your pencils, I too have to have all the pencils I need in front of me, and I know where each pencil I need is, as I’m sure you do too, and whoever is reading this understands too. Another great tutorial, thank you Lori. 🤗💕

    Great tips, Lori. When all of the leaves on a page look the same, it's boring, and that's why I didn't really enjoy coloring them. Those leaves don't just sit on the page. Now they pop. Using different combinations of colors is a great idea. Thanks for showing us how to make them look so much better. BTW I love your special effects, especially when your hand first appeared on the screen. It's never boring when you color! Keep doing what you're doing. I hope your sweetie is doing better and you too. Big hugs!!

    Posca. It's a white acrylic paint pen. There should be a link in the description for everything she uses or mentions. I had a look and there's no information at all, maybe because this is an older video? Her new ones have much more detailed descriptions in the information box. Always worth looking around a channel if you're not sure, they tend to use the same materials throughout.
