Wow! This is a densely packed lesson! Thank you 😊. I’m very much interested in the topic and concepts you discussed, but I kept getting distracted watching what you were doing on Ps, so much so fast and furious, looked like a magician! (I’ve only ever used 2 brushes and the eraser and opacity for highly rendered pieces 😅, so I know next to nothing.) How much faster is the video than your working speed?

I love this type of drawing. It made me cry to see the finished product. I wish we could get a whole course starting from little to more packed lessons on how to start drawing like you.

Editor here! The speed varied from 1.5x speed to 4x speed depending on what Dom was talking about. Dom's definitely someone we're interested in having back! Loved this lesson.
