How to draw like a Pro: With Silverpoint
Channel: Joshua Henderson
Date: 2021-02-22

In this video I'm answering the question: How can I draw like a Master/Pro? I'm also making a brief introduction to silverpoint and stating my intention for making this youtube channel, which is to explore everything I know about drawing using the ancient drawing technique silverpoint and to share it with you. Additionally, I will explore ways to connect drawing to psychology as a way to establish optimistic thought habits that can lead to resilience and healthier thought patterns. 

Below is a list of stores I purchase materials from and below below is a list of my primary teachers and their websites.
