Draw Less Draw Only What Matters

In this video, I talk about why drawing everything often gets in the way of saying anything. When we try to include it all, we dilute what actually matters.

Great portraits aren’t built from information—they’re built from intention. Knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to put in. By focusing only on what truly moves you, what carries weight, light, and emotion, your drawings become clearer, stronger, and more alive.

This is an unconventional approach that lets go of overworking, overthinking, and unnecessary detail. If you want your portraits to feel purposeful rather than busy, this way of seeing can change everything.
