  • I can’t draw, I have never been able to. I drew 1 face and my goodness, it actually looked like something. I am not exaggerating when I say I cried. I actually have the courage to keep going. I am filled with gratitude.

    Four minutes and 21 seconds into this video at 5:45 am CST and I'm already thinking "The advice thus far is life changing" followed up with ".... the information provided here gives me the confidence to try this out myself". THANK YOU for taking the time to create this video.

    So simple and easy to do with your enthusiasm and instruction! Can you believe it, my first collab - and it's likely to go viral! Whoa!!!

    "Blop it in..." THIS is the kind of technical description I enjoy. And the eighties hair drop ins cracked me up - been there!

    I was crap at drawing faces..until I watched this video. Now with practice they seem to be coming along. Thanks Sandi, your knowledge is very helpful.
  • @TheAllisonLab
    Wow, that was so helpful. I've never been able to draw faces. So horrible at it. Thank you!
  • I could only draw pumpkins a year ago. I practice no pressure sketching daily and now I can actually look at something and sketch it pretty nicely. Daily sketch and paint practicing has helped me improve soooooooo much!
  • I've tried and tried to draw a portrait and was once told my 'people'' were 'grotesque'. Now, for the first time in 78 years I finally drew a face that was proportionally correct. She was actually kind of cute. Thank you for this tutorial...you made it possible for me to finally get one right! And you're lovely!

    I love your faces, Sandi! The ones you draw and your face. 🥰 From zoom meetings to lose figures and contour drawing and enjoyed this video so much that I started my Sunday doing watercolors. Keeping things loose has really helped me, I dedicated a sketchbook for ink drawing and add watercolor washes. The lines are more natural without going back and forth with pencil and fixating on making it look realistic 🥰 thank you for this channel and the endless inspiration. I find myself rewatching videos and an urge to create.
  • Thank you so much for this video. I’ve never been able to draw faces….I had so much fun drawing a face as I watched the video. I’m going to keep practicing. I really enjoy your channel. 😊💕

    It is such a pleasure to observe the freedom with which you paint, Sandi! I absolutely loved the oil pastel portrait! ❤️
