    You don't sound like a broken rekord at all. I could watch and listnen to you talking about drawing expressions for hours and hours and hours. I really hope you don't start to feel your content is being repetitive, just because you have multiple videos with the same focus. IT IS NOT! It's amazing, inspring and very very helpful Please keep it up.
