    I realized I tend to do this but in a bad way, I use it as a crutch to make up for mistakes in my perspective and shape. I love the style but I really need to learn to draw my shapes the right way from the start and not just fill in everything when It doesn't work out. (I am a very new artist, so when I say shape I mean the "Rock" that you might mistake for a slime in a video game)

    David, can you do a tutorial on drawing small characters? Drawing foreground and mid ground characters feels intuitive when it comes to detail. For some reason I try to add too much detail for small scale figures (background, small panels, etc). Then they start to get muddy. If I try to be minimal they turn out looking cheap and unfinished. Seems like every line counts more the smaller the figure.

    Thanks for the great video! Focusing on shadow shape gives a very beautiful effect, but I am a bit confused by the focus on shadows for negative space - I thought negative space was, for example, focusing on the triangles between the pieces of wood rather than the pieces of wood themselves. For example in a landscape rendering the gaps of light between leaves instead of the leaves themselves. Or the triangle or diamond shape one often sees between an arm and a figure’s torso. Is focusing on shadows a mental trick to get you to pay attention to the gaps?

    Negative space is I think a broad term and has many meanings attached to it. I think negative space in essence is: What you put down/draw = positive space, what you leave out/don't touch = negative space.
