🎥 How to See/Make Beauty in Masses (Raw video)
A quick lesson on beauty and how to make your masses more beautiful. I've been really inspired since meeting @Takeshi Takama . I want to do more about beauty and aesthetics since it's not really talked about and I care about it so much! I hope you guys don't mind :) We will still talk about drawing and painting craft too, don't worry ✍️. I truly believe my life mission is restoring beauty in this ugly world. That will be as an artist and speaker/trainer. You guys are a big part of that obviously.

Some tips about lay-ins
I made a short, quick, and dirty explanation about how I approach lay-ins for a different forum. I'll post it here in case someone here will find it useful (or will be able to point to problems with this approach). Here are the pointers: - Use light, thin lines - A good lay-in already has the sense of 3d without any tone - Avoid continuous contours, always look for overlaps - Draw through the form - Think in 3d (study the skull, the Loomis method, whatever else helps) - Make sure the outline has the same feeling as the original (I failed at this step here) - Center lines are your friends - Always check and re-check alignments and basic proportions

@Koen Kuiphuis , very good, but I advise to be more selective with the reference you choose. If you're going to choose difficult ref, choose your battles wisely and focus on one thing at a time
