Hi Judy,

So sorry to hear about your loss. No, the drawings are created so that the end result is successful. This sometimes means that the preliminary drawings are light.

Joined last week. Just had the urge to draw in colour pencil shortly after the death of one of my children and it has been a calming experience helping me cope. Hhowever I’m aving trouble seeing the sketches as they are so light. Do you post the sketches anywhere separately? Love the course ..judy

Hi Rick,

While you may erase some negative space using the rendering approach, it is more about removing material to reveal highlights, leaving the shadows in place.

If not, would you do more on negative space because that is an underrated style in my opinion. Thanks for helping us get through the quarantine. Be safe.

Hi Anna,

The music is part of the video and cannot be removed. Some of the videos have music and some don’t. Some people will like some of the music selections and some people won’t.

However, in this video the background jazz music is very disturbing, so may I suggest you remove it?
