Introduction

I spent some time thinking about the best way of presenting this. My original notes are basically drawing targets (how to begin, drawing heads etc) with youtube videos. For me, I would normally watch a video and just extract what I thought was interesting.  So I’ve done something similar with a little comment.

In order for me to get the benefit, I will also added in places some summaries of theories where appropriate.

There isn’t any sort of special sequence other than the way I’ve done it other than as I do it.

 

I’ve made a small number of suggestions from youtubers but whether in google or youtube, the platform will suggest a lot more. If mine don’t help, there are plenty more to explore.
