In today’s video, I’m going to go through four ways in which we might struggle in our sketches, and of course, I’ll offer some advice for how to overcome these struggles. This one might be a bit longer, but I believe that if you’re struggling to make sketching a stronger part of your illustration process, you’ll get a lot out of this. And stay to the end, because I’ll be giving a quick demo of how I illustrate using Procreate. This is kind of a mini tutorial, but hopefully it will help make my points seem less abstract.
