    Loved this series of helpful stylization courses. Thank you Eliza. Wondering if/when you'll dabble in more wet medias for the tones. Unrestricted by the alcohol markers. Love seeing your progression over the years.

    Hello! Thank you so much for this breakdown! The way you explained simplifying complex references into stylized shapes was exactly what I needed to hear. My art skills have honestly improved just by watching your process. The tip about visual rhythm and flow really clicked for me. Glad that i found this Youtube channel to work on my art skills.

    I’m sure it’s because she’s so experienced but I’m in awe how she gets the proportions without laying it out in the “classic” way where she’s able to lay it down in pieces and not just the outline of the face first!

    I’m trying to make myself sketch more 3/4 view. But , I heard you say that you work on different things throughout the drawing calling it Dancing around the paper. I just love that description 😀

    I very much relate to the comment about snapping out of it at the end of a drawing and not remembering doing it. When you get into that flow state it's a pretty magical feeling . I love these videos with Eleeza!!

    i feel like 3/4 faces are much easier and faster to draw… (it's my view on it)
