Speed Drawing Caricature

I’ve been behind posting that I’ve added a new video. During this time I’ve made the effort to try my best to improve my drawing skills. I’ve been taking some online courses from SVS Learn and Schoolism. I highly recommend them if you are interested in illustration. I noticed there are high school students taking these courses. I wished they had this when I was in high school.
