🔥 I Spent 100+ Hours Studying Instagram... Here's What I Learned

After years of being shadow-banned for my figure drawings, I decided to go all-in.

100+ hours deep into IG strategy, growth psychology, and content mechanics. I learned why most artists get stuck, and how to finally get seen without selling out.

In this video, I share my personal 2025 IG strategy, the key lessons, and the biggest mistakes I see artists making.

If you're serious about growing your art, audience, or creative career, this one’s for you.

Do you portraits feel plat around the mouth? If so this lesson will help. In this new video, I break down the anatomy of the mouth, face fat, and skin folds—and how they affect the look, structure, and emotion of the face.

🎯 You’ll see:

- How I analyze facial forms using skull and muscle studies

- Where fat pads and folds actually sit (and how they age the face)

- A full demo on how I apply this to a real portrait drawing

This is one of the most overlooked areas by artists—and one of the most expressive.

Want more structure in your portrait drawings? One of the fastest ways to make your heads feel more solid and realistic is to see and design the side plane of the cheek clearly.

Most artists overlook it. But once you understand this form, everything clicks—planes become sharper, and your portraits gain depth and dimension.

🎥 In this new lesson, I break down how I approach this critical area, and how my students apply the same concepts in their own work.
