    Hi Mikey , just found your channel and it's just what I'm looking for. I haven't drawn for 30 years now (I'm 61) because of a recent spinal injury and awaiting an operation I decided to start again. Oh btw, I wasn't that good 30 years ago lol. Your tutorials are so easy but precise and I absolutely love the real time ones. Amazing work and I look forward to drawing along with you. I have subscribed and shared. Keep on keeping on.

    Thank you so much for sharing your work, Mikey. Love the way you use an inexpensive pencil to draw almost everything. No doubt, I couldn't stop myself from noticing those Copic markers at the end but then I reminded myself, "that they only came after a long toil" with the inexpensive pencil. Guess I've learned two lessons with just one video :-) thanks.

    BTW guys, something I just learned. It might not be much, but letting adds run for at least 30 seconds or until done if shorter apparently pays the creator, albeit very little. Gonna try to let adds run at least that long going forward.

    So it’s just imagining and then filling in everything. :) Why don’t they just say it like this at school. BTW mikey this is really helping :). And like sevie said your voice and the music is just so relaxing and that is probably the thing that helps me the most by not worrying about the fact that it won’t be good. (And of course the fact that you say that it’s just learning and doing it over and over again).

What I mean, it could be quite nice to have a tutorial or such talking and drawing details of skin, like scars, freckles, moles and wrinkles. Your work looks beautiful and it's quite a joy to drink morning tea and watch you work with a piece, without any unnecessary over energetic action happening the same time. :3 Snowy morning from Finland!
