I find that I really have problems with seeing the planes on round objects. I realize this when drawing faces as well. I first watched the 6 minutes project video and then tried on my own from the photograph. After this drawing I did several value studies with different grade pencils to find the combination which best gives me two light and two dark values.

”This is how beginners hide their mistakes”! This is so true it hurts! 😄 How much time do we have until to request critiques? One week, two days? Unfortunately, die to work, family, etc., I may not get free time right away

Unfortunately in Krita 5.1.0 things have changed a bit. The import of the brushes looks different and unfortunately I cannot find where to adjust the brushes/tools since a click on the icon on the top does not bring up the "most complicated window in Krita". An update of this video would be highly appreciated, Marco. Thank you.

I did it! So excited! Heading over to drawabox.com for the next weeks and looking forward to January. I am not really a beginner but despite drawing for over 40 years now by no means a pro ... hope I made the right decision.

This was an hour well invested. Thank you so much, Michael! I had many lights going on in my head during this hour.
