Do you find it's easier to do drawovers or paintovers on someone else's work, but it's harder to see errors and make fixes on your own work? That's been the case for me anyway, and I wondered, "Is there a way to make that work FOR you?" This video is about my ideas on that subject. Oh, and I have no idea why I made such googly eyes when I said my name in the intro, lol.
