Amazing video, very useful for beginners! I own the Loomis method book, but I had never heard about the other books you´ve mentionned, I´m definitely going to give it a go! As for studying sculptures and the masters, it is something that all the most skilled contemporary artists I know of speak about! I´ve personally never tried, it´s the beginner´s temptation to just skip the steps and draw whatever you want believing yours skills will magically improve. I guess it works for some people, but I it is most likely the way to go if you want to up your game!

Day two of not watching YouTube shorts and finding good quality content that I wanna cry

It's nice to see videos where the artist shows how they started and the progress they have made, thank you.

You should absolutely keep up the work on YT. I really love the light touch you have with your pencil. This video greatly summarises the mindset required when drawing portraits, or anything volumetric for that matters. Big shapes, proportion and structure ❤. Subscribed
