Very interesting video. And, yes, I'd say you did use his techniques -- consciously or not. The black surrounding the flower, lower left made that your center of interest, and various logs and bits supported the eye finding that center. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Martha. Did you notice it was Patrick who had the scoop? I was looking at my drawing and trying to figure out which technique it was. I think depending on which section, sometimes it's one and sometimes another!
Thanks for pointing out Jesse Thompson's visuals on YouTube. I really enjoy how his reviews of other and older books can bring new dimensions to even simple sketches. Guptill's books certainly can bring new insights to anyone wanting to bring new depth to control what one sees in the sketch.
You’re welcome Warren, and all credit for that excellent channel goes to Patrick (who you met on a video call once). I look forward to combing through that book and learning more.
Oh thank you for alerting me! Unlike usual posts, I created that one as a “page” to go on the home page (first time I’ve tried this). I didn’t realize it would auto-paywall like a regular post would. Could you try again and see if it works? It’s probably been paywalled since June 16 based on the regular paywalling schedule, but you’re the first one to notice and tell me! I appreciate that!

Hi Zoungy, is it intentional that the post “Artist’s Resource List" is now behind a paywall?

It's all readable again, thanks Zoungy!
I had this memory that you'd presented it as a free resource, but my memory isn't particularly reliable 😊
Glad you could fix it and congratulations for the awards!
Thank you, and no problem. I’m glad you caught that it was inaccessible so soon, or who knows how long it would have stuck that way!
