300/10,000 hours
I recently passed 300 hours of drawing and painting, and so I'm back to review what I have learned so far to share with you all.
We'll look at painting, drawing, and general art learning concepts, as well touch on a new aspect of neuroscience we haven't covered yet!
All 100 hours of drawing and painting were produced using a spaced repetition learning model, which you can learn more about here:

I share a daily clip from every hour of work on YouTube Shorts, with a brief description for each video (click the 3 dots) as to what I specifically worked on that day, so follow along if you want to see more.
They are also now available to view on Instagram and TikTok:
