    Again, no brainer. Eben is a legend. Very in-depth tutorials. I watched each video (no painting), broke down what he was saying and tried some extra concepts on the side. You gotta practice people. Only way to help you understand why he is thinking what he is thinking. Moreover, how he makes his decisions. If you just watch it once you are doing it wrong.

    This tutorial is awesome. The most valuable part is, that Eben gives us a deep insight into his process and artistic decisions. I really like the honest explanations of the single steps he takes to finish this piece. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their workflow and add new tools to their toolbox. Thanks Eben for your work!
