    I just want to say, thank you, Wei. I am a very beginner drawer and I always thought it would be much more difficult and take me a lot longer to learn these techniques, but thanks to your videos I have learned a lot very quickly. I am still not very good yet but I already have a good start and the confidence to know that if I keep practicing I will be able get better and make really nice drawings very soon.

      @@ArtofWeiHo You're welcome Wei, keep up the excellent work. I'm trying to learn. It's too bad we didn't have instructors like you in school, they even replaced our art class with a guy that used a program to teach us to construct basic carpentry shapes and things. It was a real downer, they could have at least taught us drafting or actual carpentry(digital or physical). I don't mean to have long replies, I just really like this work. I'm going to try to start taking an hour a day toward self improvement.

      It's not easy for everyone, some people make it look simple either because they have a certain understanding of it or a whole lot of practise. It's hard for me too. I also have hand tremor so I cannot draw straight lines - I still try though, what the heck. I took 7 years off and I'm sort of regretting taking so much time off, I was just so frustrated and blocked that even now it's like a phobia, not the failing part, some of the trauma I experienced in animation college. I was near literally burnt out from trying to make perspective backgrounds that I had trouble understanding with one instructor that didn't put any effort into helping me understand my perspective mistakes, along with an animation teacher that seemed a bit nervous while teaching, even though he had done some work at disney but he had his hands full with his young kid and enough students that it was either sink or swim for us. Regular and key animation pages are not easy for everyone to understand. The class that graduated 2 years ahead of us, 1 guy was hired out of his whole class for an actual animation job.
