Hi loves,
In today's video, I'll be drawing this unicorn maiden without any reference photos to test if I've improved at all since starting art school 5 months ago. (The TLDR is YES, training at the atelier has definitely taught me so much and I can see a visible improvement!) 😁
Thanks so much for watching,
Happy

I'm an oil painter/illustrator/cat mom living in Seattle. I am in love with oil painting, but I also dabble in drawing, watercolor, colored pencil, and always looking to learn new mediums! I post my painting and illustration time lapses, art tutorials for beginners (including oil painting techniques, drawing techniques, and art career advice), and various artist studio vlogs for your enjoyment. ❤️
For even more comprehensive tutorials such as (how to paint skin tones, how to paint backgrounds, how to paint hair) free prints, live streams, and daily artworks in progress, please check out my Patreon page! Thank you!
