    I probably know it's not gonna happen but pretty please do another tutorial about roses with a darker pencil that's easier to follow, and with the camera pointing straighter and closer to what you're drawing if possible. The angling makes it hard to accurately look at the shapes you're drawing and the red pencil is so light it really blends into the paper. I have looked over tons of tutorials and yours is easily the best I've seen yet, but I wish it was easier to see the what you do specifically at the start where most people have the most trouble. Thanks so much for putting it up though, maybe with enough rewatching I can finally get how to draw roses in the end. My apprenticeship is pretty much riding on the fact that even though I can draw almost anything else, I can't get flowers and roses are especially hard. Subscribed in a heartbeat and hopefully you'll do more tutorials!

    your videos really helped me overcome my sketching-trauma ( sketching and drawing was all i did as a child and got continually rejected by childrens magazines, they wouldnt print it, assuming my parents made them, sending them back saying so. so i stopped). 2 colleagues of mine are tattoo artists next to their main job( theyre working only parttime) and i figured that its something i really would like to do. thats when i picked up sketching again 2 months ago, showed them my work and, yeah, they liked it enough to tutor me. still much to learn but thanks to your videos being a great help the progress is much faster than figuring everything out on my own.

    Ive slowed down the speed and zoomed close up to your drawing. It is one of the BEST ❤instructions on the rose. Some people are complaining but on the iphone its so easy to get up front and center. Video is six years old and hopefully you’re still teaching. You’re excellent in showing the rose. Thank you so much. This also helps me with painting the rose 🌹 👏🏻

When learning to draw something new I learn several ways from several people and create my own from there and your style is very inspiring. Please keep up the good work. Also, the roses on your neck are amazing!!!
